The demons and innocence

I know I shouldn't say to much about myself because those who really don't understand me, just have me lockup in the crazy house. I have always believed in GOD... Without hesitation I never blamed him for anything I never blamed him for a love who has pass away, or all evil and disturbing things going on in the world he's not doing it.I have always believed him nothing but I just wish it was more help for people like me someone who will deeply deeply believed in God and his power if we can believe in that then what makes you think there's no evil out there as well because there is and it's sad because many of us want to speak of it but what I just experienced I'm just hoping somebody out there understands what I'm saying. It's time the world opens it's eyes before we are no more. Share and show respect as well love to one other.

Hei there Moncarr, I hear you. Its challenging to keep faith living on this world, where there is so much pain, violence and suffering. Sometimes it is just tough and sometimes it feels unbearable for a long stretch of time. But I am glad you are here among us, with all your lights and also shadows. I send you lots of warmth!

I'm a flawed Christian, but I try my best.

With that said, I still feel like I can always do better.

.

I do believe in God, and I do believe in Jesus Christ.

I do believe that Jesus died for our sins, and I hope that I am good enough for him some day.

Agree,but there are many who need open their hearts ,and just believe so we many won over so much evil. I myself and as well my oldest daughter before she became a Doctor and other family members work in the prison system behind the gates with inmates. There are many who are good,but don't understand what God and as well as Christ has done for us what we can learn from opening in our hearts they have so much pain in their hearts it makes it hard for them to believe I try to help as many as I could when I was there trust me I didn't believe a lot of their stories cuz I had the ability to look through there jacket to know where they came from and what they did so they knew not to BS me because I would find out the truth but many did want Christ in their life but didn't understand how to do it so I try to help as many as I could before I left there. I never judge anyone at times it's hard for me ,but I ask God to help me because I know my Father didn't put in earth to judge or hurt anyone.

*Again*

I am far from perfect. I often worry that I may not be good enough for heaven.

But.. I know that there were times when I was younger, that I recklessly put myself in harms way (on multiple occasions), and I should not have made it out alive. (long stories, but they are all true)

I know for a FACT that a higher power, maybe God/Jesus said, "it's not your time yet", and I made it through.

.

I respect everybody's beliefs here, and fortunately most of the regulars here know that my intentions and my heart is good. (I truly do enjoy trying to help others whenever possible, and I truly care about this community and the people here)

I almost gave up in 2021, but I'm grateful that I didn't.

My family definitely needed me to help them with health issues this year, and I would have never met some amazing people on this website. (and looking forward to possibly meeting others)

.

My belief in God and Jesus, is the only thing that keeps me going.

It's the only thing that keeps me from giving up.

I am humbled and grateful to be alive today.

& For anyone that took the time to read my post, I just want to simply say, "Thank you".

I think folks of every religion need to understand that it's a "belief". Not a fact. Some of us believe. Some don't. Some believe in something vastly different from what the other person believes or doesn't believe. RE: "there are many who need open their hearts ,and just believe" - No, nobody needs to do anything other than what makes them happy and doesn't harm others. Nobody has to believe what I believe or what you believe. None of us know the ultimate truth, nobody holds the key but each individual.

Yes, I totally agree. I am very happy that sincere people find comfort in their beliefs and it’s only natural for someone to try and help using the experiences they have had. As long as people also realize that not everyone is Christian and has the same beliefs. I think there are certain truths that go beyond individual religions. The Ten Commandments are echoed in the writings of many, many religions in all parts of the world. And most acknowledge that both good and evil exist. I am not a Christian, but in living my life, I focus on these basic truths and always keep the welfare of other humans and our world in mind.

Yes and many been abused and don't know anything else but to hurt others before they get hurt they do nothing but repeat what they have gone through they're scared and if they're labeled as bad kids they grow up to be bad adults

The problem I have with God and especially religion is that too many times throughout history religion has been used to judge, condemn and persecute those who don't believe as they do and it is still happening to day in the US with the rise of the Christian Right as an example. I think the problem with some religions is that they consider any focus on loving our selves and being proud of ourselves as sin and I think this is one of the most harmful aspects of it. A lot of religions also discourage thinking for yourself and unquestioning servitude which is also harmful. Ultimately it prevents people from truly loving and accepting themselves and developing healthy self-esteem/self-worth. Another harmful aspect of some religions is the proselytizing they feel compelled to do that is in effect judging and condemning others for not believing as they do and is what a lot of people consider to be highly offensive including myself. If more people learned to truly love themselves they would also be more able to truly love and accept others and life itself and a lot of the worlds problems would really be solved. My belief is that religion is actually institutionalized spirituality and that we are all spiritual beings connected to each other and life itself.

God didn't do anything God is God you believe him or don't people, humans are the ones making all these mistakes using religion for their own purposes a lot of them do it if you don't use it for good like God attend it to it that's on those use benefit and that person is using religion for there own purposes I use religion because I believe in God .God didn't make a lot of stuff us human use it. God he gave us life but we choose to do with it it's on us not God and understand what you're saying my mother and her mother and her grandmother are Mayan Indians I understand they had the way of religion they believed in their own gods and I believe in mines. To many I never blame GOD, for anything. When I lost five members of my family in five years I was never angry with God I thank him for the time he allowed myself and my family for the time with our love ones.

Yes, that is my point, the Creator (God) endowed us humans with free will and the ability to think and has nothing to do with what happens to us in this life or what happens to others and our loved ones.
