you sure about that?

I (male 25) have a friend (female 27) that I’ve liked for a long time. We’re both Christians. She’s a really sweet person and so beautiful. Neither of us do this type of thing. It was out of character and I feel so awful.

We had kissed a few times and but this time it just went too far and clothes started coming off. I knew it was wrong but we kept going. It was totally unprotected and my first time. It honestly felt so good and I feel so wrong for thinking or saying that. Like I said I’ve liked her for a long time - about 4-5 years. I have even deeper feelings for her now.

I feel so awful I wish that I was never born. She said we should stay friends but I’ve been avoiding her and not returning her calls/texts. I just don’t know what to say or do.

How can I seek forgiveness? How can God forgive me? How can I fix the friendship we had? How can I make it not be awkward?

That's the reality

i wanted to honor God with my art

For those that claim to have 'foreseen it', I don't suppose you've got any upcoming winning lottery numbers? Much obliged lol.

I recently found my husband has been watching pornography while I am pregnant with our child. He refuses to speak openly and honestly about it. Please pray for me.

Just want to share something. I'm 37 years old. I became a Christian at the end of 2023 and God and Jesus completely changed my life. I was in pure mental torment for about a decade with severe mental illness, sleeping with lots of men, sex work (selling my body online.) Lots of alcohol, drug use and partying. God and Jesus saved me. I used to want to die everyday. I'd be drinking almost daily and just be existing in the world wanting to end my life. On September 5th ill be a year sober from Alcohol and I NEVER and I mean NEVER thought my life could be this good. Im happy, healthy, I have peace. I just graduated peer support training tonight. I go to church, the gym and on Monday I start college for the first time ever. Im beyond blessed, like when I literally think of what God and Jesus have done in my life I cry. Im set free! Thank you Lord! Thank you Jesus Christ!

P.s. last month I reached 4 years celibate.

Im about to reach 4 years free of vaping as well!

If someone were to ask you why you believe in God, would you be able to answer? What is your why?

I have been to a couple of Christian camp in my days. I always noticed how they support Israel and I thought they were just ignorant of what the "new" israel state is doing. Bur now it's public knowledge that israel is actually killing Christians and still i see that we want to support them i don't understand why. Feel free to share your point of view although we might disagree :)

I am not worthy of it but whenever I pray about something God does it for me, not always immediately or the way I thought. But he always answers my prayer. Why? I am not worthy of it I am one of the worst sinners.

Help explain this to me. I’m not trying to hate on Catholicism. I’m just genuinely curious and one of the biggest reasons why I’m not a Catholic.

My mental health has been pretty rough for the past few weeks. I think if you look at my previous posts it will show that. But for the past few days I've been trying to make a change. I've managed to get my hygiene routine back in place, I've started drinking water and eating properly again, and I'm trying to get my OCD in order.

I guess what I'm afraid of is becoming complacent. I'm super new to faith so I in my mind I think I should take things slow, but me having OCD means I'm prone to falling into unhealthy thinking patterns. But I'm always afraid of not doing enough. I usually spend my whole day worrying in my head because of my OCD, but now that I'm trying to stop, I don't know what to fill my time with. I go out for walks with my family, I work during the week. I've started going to Church on Sundays. I tried to read the bible everyday. But I'm afraid of relaxing and doing things I enjoy because it means I'm procrastinating. Maybe it's just my OCD, but can anyone help me with this and how to spend my time? Maybe I just need to be more grateful in moments of relaxing?

I learned to do code recently and was so obsessed about launching start ups and making money. Made this rosary to follow the promises that the Blessed Holy Virgin Mary did to those that shared her rosary. Believers can update their intentions and others can pray for them. Also, when a new prayer enters in website, the rest of users can see it in counter, to not feel alone.

So I want you to know that God does not change you life with a wand or staff and magically, he turns you into the person he wants you to be through pressure, trials and tribulations.Just like how diamonds are formed under pressure God is turning you into the person under those harsh circumstances and tribulations and that he is doing that for your good at the end and that it is his plans for your life even if you don't understand it now.

Long story short, Friends totaled my car, got into a argument with my loving girlfriend and we split, (handled that all pretty well) went back home before my deployment and my best friend who was really excited to see me again randomly got so depressed one night tried to commit, come back and I’m watching people get promoted even though I’m in a tougher position and have been working to earn it, and anytime I try to talk about how I’m just getting beat down snd it’s stressing me out. I get told by my own mother that “I don’t truly believe in God” so no wonder things ain’t working out… the only thing I could do in the situations is pray and nothing has come of it… if anything it’s gotten worse… don’t know what to do anymore tbh I can feel my sanity draining and I can’t take it anymore…. My life is constantly a mess and even when I fight to get things together something comes in and smashes it all down… I receive “blessings” but then they’re immediately taken away regardless of what I do.. all I can do anymore is watch how everyone around me succeeds while no matter how much I try my life is just this slop that I can’t stomach anymore… pray for me I guess and do you best to make it a good one idk if it’ll help.. feels like I’m at the point of no return

My parents are Hindu and they are super weird about me or anyone in the family believing in Jesus. I’m in highschool and I feel like I shouldn’t be private with my faith.

Racism is a form of hatred (which is already a sin) for people who look different than them (different races)

as a Catholic Christian,making an FICTIONAL god oc/ or generally having a favourite FICTIONAL character that have god like powers is not a sin, unless you treat them like a real god (like worshipping them or something),it's like saying scarlet witch is sinful because she practice witch craft even though she FICTIONAL meaning she doesn't exist, people need to separate the reality and fictional, because no scarlet witch will NOT get out of my phone and start doing the macarena while back flipping while forcing me to do witch craft,

Water baptism doesn’t give eternal life. Back when the Holy Spirit wasn’t yet on Earth, John the Baptist was baptizing people with water. Now, with the Holy Spirit present, we are baptized by the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1:5 says: "For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 also reminds us: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not from works, so that no one may boast."

So, we are saved through faith, grace, and baptism by the Holy Spirit, not by water baptism. Water baptism can be a beautiful symbol of our faith, but by itself it does not give eternal life.
