Mistifear SloanSage So... I accept Christ. Now I'm done. I can continue sinning all I want. No worries. No need to be more Christ like. No need to refrain from sinning. No need to refrain from causing others to stumble. Right? Or, at least that's what I am getting from your last line in the first paragraph. I will not take that out of context though. What I was trying to say is this: acknowledging our sin through asking forgiveness by prayer to God leads us down a stronger path of righteousness and we can change ourselves, our habits, and our deeds. This is a testimony to the world that we are different and that we are changed for the Greatest of Greats! we cannot feel close to God with a ton of sin hanging heavily on our consciences. That feeling of guilt causes us to hold back and we will not fully worship God. Nor will we fully rely on God. Basically: Acknowledge the sin, Change the habits, Feel freed from guilt, Fully release yourself to God, Feel, and be, closer to HIM! I think I found the one New life in my lungs I'm guessing this is love Pumping through my veins Killing all my pain You're the remedy to my heartbreak Wouldn't have it any other way Hope this never dies...
Thank you for pointing out my wording error, you're correct, that's not what I meant by the last line of my first paragraph. I meant that you can live your life without fear of going to hell because you made a mistake.
I think we're starting to go in circles with this little discussion, so we should probably just end it here XD
What you said makes sense, so I'll just leave it at that. 3nodding
Oh and I love Superchic[k]
I feel a little strange You go straight to my brain Drivin' me oh so crazy Between the sound and lights You got me hypnotized And if there never comes a sunrise Well, that'd be just fine This will never die... That is what I thought, but I just wanted to have you clarify so I could be doubly sure (and so that others might not take you the wrong way...). And again, sorry, I am an english Major, so words and their meanings are my life... I rock as examining 17th Century Poetry and stuffy stuff like that. Sorry... And yes, Superchick rocks! blaugh But the question still remains: What do YOU think, Chibi?

Makes sense to me. I'm a writing major, so (hopefully, someday) I'll be writing the stuff you might have to examine XD And no need to apologize for it, of course.
When I get into debates and stuff, sometimes I just get caught up in what I'm saying that I don't even think about what I'm saying until I've all ready said it.

Satan feeds on fear, weather its fear of death or of life. The best warriors have always had no fear. Reguardless of there faith it dosent let satan hold them down. So if they die it kinda like. "Hmm, must have messed up." Thats why you shouldent be afraid. Sure it hurts, lots of things hurt. Leting them get to you is a little bit of giving up. Im not sure what your problems are but i would be more then happy to talk to you about them.

He has powers, just not as great. He was an angel. He has wonderful eloquence. He is able to attack us spiritually. He is able to attack us mentally. That turns into psychologically which can really mess us up. And the best warriors are brave. Bravery is the presence of fear, but the will to go further and do what they feel/ think/ believe is right. The absence of fear is stupidity. Thing is, we have a God that is BIGGER than Satan. He is above him. As long as we look to Him, we can do anything.

I've been looking for a song for you (I tend to do that...)
and I found one!
Hold On ~ Nichole Nordeman
It will find you at the bottom of a bottle It will find you at the needle's end It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow It will follow you into a stranger's bed
It will find you when they serve you with the papers It will find you when the locks have changed again It will find you when you've called in all your favors It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge
So baby don't look down- it's a long way The sun will come around to a new day
So hold on Love will fin dyou Hold on He's right behind you now Just turn around And love will find you
It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking It will find you in a boardroom mostly dead It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying It will curl up in your halfway empty bed
So baby don't believe that it's over Maybe you can't see 'round the corner
To hang between two thieves in the darkness Love must believe you are worth it You're worth it
~ Hope you get something from that. (especially the last stanza)

Only thing is, how does a person know if it's satan and if it's God (or not satan, but something inside telling you to do good)? That is something that some people do struggle with.

Ignoring someone =/= Ignorance. Refusing to believe that not giving Satan power over will make him go away is ignorance.

Ignoring someone =/= Ignorance. Refusing to believe that not giving Satan power over will make him go away is ignorance. Ignoring something causes ignorance. Both words come from the Latin ignorare with in = 'not' and gno = "know" Both mean not-know (or basically, knowing not). Also, Satan will not just go away. I will be moving this discussion to the Debate thread now because it has gone off topic for far too long now.

Sure it's possible. Belief in God doesn't garuntee freedom from anxiety and depression. However, God might allow it as an obsticle to help you grow, even if it is that overwhelming. I mean I've been very depressed in the past too.
