Struggling Christian, Begging For Mercy. Please...please Help Me

[quote="Mitspa, post: 311308, member: 1230 many who where harlots will be there and many self-righteous will be in "heck" Do you not know the Lords words?[/quote]

Yes and he never says there will be many harlots in heaven. On a side note harlotry is not a godly profession, or the way to heaven see, the whole bible.
 
Mt 21:31 "Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

Well they will be more harlots than hypocrites, and your missing the point.

That's bull. Ones just as bad as the other don't you agree? So let me get this straight you think God is soft on harlots? Creepy. There won't be hippocrisy or harlotry in heaven OK. Do you agree? So your angle is that hippocrites are worse than harlots. OK. Once you find out let me know.

Again your missing the point, the fact that a harlot knows they are a sinner in need of the Grace of Christ, and the self-righteous attempt to justify themselves and are rejected by God in their hypocrisy.
Does that bother you?

You know not of what you speak. Christ was talking to those who rejected him when he said hippocrites. By your own words you make yourself no better than the hippocrites. You clearly want them in hell, correct? That's hippocrisy. Funny cause all Jesus was only saying that harlots would entered before. I really wish I had a clue what your talking about. Can you please clarify. god bless.

No the word means huper-krites from the Greek which means a false judge. "judge not lest ye be judged" was the message that Christ preached and it is very much the message of the New Testament. He hated the hypocrisy of those who judged them He came to save. He never called the harlot a serpent, he never called the sinners he ate with a "den of thieves" . As far as wanting anyone in "heck" I am glad for Gods mercy but judgment is without mercy on those who have shown no mercy. Those who judge others by a standard they do not keep are hypocrites. That's what the word means.
 
Mt 15:7 "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.



Mt 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
24 "Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
26 "Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
28 "Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Do you get the idea that Jesus hates hypocrisy? Same Jesus, He does not change.

Sounds anti Semitic.
 
To start, hi, I'm Jared; I'm 21. This is going to be long, but please help me, I'm desperate. If you start reading, please commit to reading the entirety. I've been a Christian my whole life. This is taking me so much courage to get this out into the open, because to every other normal person, I would be considered a freak of nature. (I seem "normal" on the outside...but my brain is a literal hurricane Katrina of pure bat-crazyness...) But I can't live alone with this anymore.

I have never been officially diagnosed, but I can tell that I have severe psychosis. On top of that, I was born gay. I had sex with a guy once, and I am completely ashamed of myself...I promised to God that I would never do it again, but that promise is just getting harder and harder to keep. I am almost sure that I will most likely break it at some point in the future. What if I mess up? I know the Bible states that if you believe in Jesus as savior, you will be saved. But it also says in another part that it's NOT by faith alone - you have to repent and stop sinning. But for me it's literally impossible. I'm addicted to porn, and I was like this ever since I was about 8. I have begged, and cried my eyes out to Jesus my whole entire life but I feel no change, I can't beat it because I am so insane in the head.

The Bible also states that the "afflicted" will be saved no matter what. Do you think I fall under that category? I'm certainly afflicted with something truly nasty and of the Devil. I want to be with God when I die more than anything in the world, and I don't want Him to cast me away from Him.

I REALLY want Him to love me with all his heart and tell me I don't have to worry anymore. That I don't have to live in fear of Hell. All I want is for Him to greet me with a hug and tell me it's over. I'm crying my eyes out as I type this...Trust me, I don't want to break my promise to God. It's the worst feeling in the world to betray God like that. It tears me APART. But the lust is just CRAZY...I have no sexual desire towards women whatsoever so I'm just boiling in lust for years upon years, unable to quench unless it's a guy.

Will Jesus save me knowing what I'm going through, knowing how much I want Him to cleanse my mind into sanity after death? I beg Jesus almost every single day. I really hope He understands and that the angels are rooting for me, please, someone help me

Also, I have experienced a few possible miracles in my life that could be God trying to maybe tell me something. Anyone who's reading, what do you think? I was once sent to the hospital fom a severe allergic reaction. It was so bad, my heart rate was at 285, and 300 is for sure death. The nurses said that I had a 1% chance to live and even told my mom that it was likely that I wouldn't pull through. You know it's bad when they come to that. I lived and they described it as the definition of a real miracle.

Not too much longer after that, I was crying into the bathroom mirror looking at myself, and I begged God to show me a sign. The NEXT night I was in my car playing my music through my phone, when it suddenly stopped working. Keep in mind that this is the only time it has ever stopped working for no reason. I unplugged, reset, etc. to no avail. So I turned on my radio instead. The first song that was on out of the millions and millions of possibilities, was called I'm God. At the end of the song, the person who states the name of the song said "...And that was I'm God." It was just so surreal...This was literally the night after I asked for a sign. You should look it up because it is really amazing. It's astoundingly beautiful and blissful. You will love it, guaranteed. It will truly touch your soul.

I also had a dream a few months ago of an old-fashioned projector showing random slides, and one popped up of Jesus on the cross and under it read "You are Saved." I immediately woke up with shock at that. I also had a dream a few months before that one where I was talking to Jesus in Heaven and it felt like real life.

I'm just so confused T_T

Reach out for Jesus right now and ask Him to come visit you in power, that you ask Him to deliver you from the power of sin right now, and RECEIVE Him and His deliverance. SAY it. Confess it. SAY "I AM NOT GAY! I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS! DEVIL LEAVE ME ALONE IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH! THANK YOU JESUS FOR DELIVERING ME FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS AND THAT I LIVE IN YOUR KINGDOM NOW AND I AM A SON OF GOD THROUGH YOU FOREVER! I RECEIVE YOUR POWER TO WALK UPRIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES AND NOT STRUGGLE WITH SIN, FOR I AM VICTORIOUS OVER LUST AND VICTORIOUS OVER SIN, GLORY TO GOD AND PRAISE YOU!"

Yes, say it LOUDLY, with all your heart and mean it! Watch the Lord fill you with living power and change your life, stop trying to fight sin and receive victory instead, be filled up with the Word of God and there won't be any room for lust. Also ask for and receive your cleansing from every memory of sin and thank God for a holy mind (that doesn't mean the Devil won't try to pop a thought in there, but it means he won't have a stronghold in there to turn your thoughts and words and actions to his will, you get it?).

Try going to kcm.org or moorelifeministries.org and get some good things there.
 
I have not said that there will not be works that a saved person does, but the works are done through God, and not done to get salvation, but rather are done because our salvation has given us the ability to love as Christ loves because we are now one with him and have his Spirit within us.
Hi again Olivia. As an update, I'd just like to say that my lusts have almost completely diminished ever since I posted this thread...I went from struggling with my promise to an almost guarantee that I can do it. Do you think that's the Holy Spirit helping me with my desires? I mean, I almost don't even think about it anymore, and it used to be a 24/7 deal. For years.

Do you think Jesus will accept me into Heaven? I'm honestly ashamed about my sins and literally feel physically sickened by the thought of all sin while consciously trying to avoid it, and all I want is for Jesus to be my friend :[

I am very thankful about your change. Just keep trusting God.

The reason Jesus suffered and died was to take your sins from you onto himself. He willingly did this because he loves you even though you have sinned. As long as you believe by faith and know this trusting God for this, then yes you will go to heaven. The blood of Jesus cleanses the believer from all sins. Jesus has done this for you. Refuse to doubt this. Remember Paul the apostle was a murderer of Christians before he was saved, yet he believed and look what he went on to do by allowing God to work through him. Refuse to fear that your past sins will keep you out of heaven. Someone's past sins can't and won't ever keep anyone out of heaven who has put their trust in Jesus as being the payment for their sins. God even forgets your sins.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

"as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12).

"I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more" (Isaiah 43:25-26).

For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11).

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool" (Isaiah 1:18).

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (2 corinthians 5:17). The old is gone.

"Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more" (Hebrews 10:17).

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:13-14).

So your sins are not only forgiven, but forgotten. They are as far from you as they can be. You are a new creation and purified. Yes, all who trust Christ for the payment of their sins will be with Jesus and he will see you as pure, clean as the whitest of snow, even you. Jesus forgives you. This is the truth. Jesus forgives you. Say Jesus forgives me. He does forgive you. God loves you. He loves you . He loves you. God forgives you. It is him helping you now. Keep trusting and he will show you much greater things and will be with you always. All who by faith trust God enter in the gates. Rejoice. You are a new creation in Christ.
 
Just consider Jared, that just posting on this thread and I am sure some prayers from some, have brought you a certain level of relief from your struggles? Your battle is a spiritual one, and you "NEED" the help of Gods people. Please seek out real believers who will really believe God (with you) for your complete deliverance from these issues. If this forum has helped? stayed connected and use the prayer request forum, everyday if you need to? Blessings and glad to hear you are seeing the power of God over your weaknesses.

I must also say that it seems those of us who used this thread as a back and forth debate where not in the Will of God. This was Jared's place to ask for help and we defiled it with such meaningless debate. I do not plan to make that mistake again.

Yes, Jared I want you to know that we are here for you and want to continue being there for you on your walk with the Lord. I don't think that you need anyone but the Lord, but if you feel you do we are here. You can PM me anytime. I would love to hear from you.

First you have to relax. Don't worry so much, god doesn't expect perfection. You are making things worst and yourself miserable by being so hard on yourself. Don't believe everything people say, I know plenty have this visual of god being this judge with a stick in his hand being a disciplinarian. Keep in mind god lives you very much, he wants you to be happy, just accept yourself and who you are. Keep god close to you in your heart and breathe!! Don't put so much emphasis on your faults, focus on your strengths and how great and wonderful of a person you are. God won't leave you, at hard times he wants you to be even closer to him than anything!! Gods love has no limits, he loves you just how you are, but you need to start loving who you are. No one is perfect, I'm with a man who is a non believer I have sex without being married. But....I love god and keep him in my heart, I pray when I can any time if the day. I talk to god all day long I pray for my man as well. God loves me just for me, just as he loves you. Regardless of my mistakes and short comings god still blesses me and loves me, answers my prayers too. Love yourself!! God loves you no matter what don't be critical of yourself, except you for you and know we are not perfect, never will be but god loves us regardless. Just relax and take it easy, breath a little and love you!!!!

The point is that these types would be (and often still are) more ready to accept the grace of God in Christ (and get saved) than the self-righteous religious types.

It is one thing to struggle with sin you don't want to do because you love God (God will help this person). It is another to purposely sin and not care because God love's you anyway. Every sin is destructive. Someone who truly loves God does not want to purposely sin because they recognize the horrific things Jesus suffered for those sins.

Isaiah 52:14: "Just as there were many who were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness--."

This was done to Jesus as a result of sin.

He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

These things were also done to Jesus as a result of sin.

Those who love God do not want to sin because they understand what sin does and what it did to God. It is not about celebrating who we are for Isaiah 64:6 says, "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away." Rather it is about who we are in righteous Christ for the one's in him are new creations and a part of his beauty having his Spirit alive in them
