becoming a better christian

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Deleted Account, Feb 25, 2019.

  1. I have been a christian most of my life, i did not take it very serious till about a year ago i would say, thats when i had my spiritual awakening. But there is still a lot of things i need to improve and quit, pmo pains me so much especially on a spiritual level, i know i am not just letting myself down when i do it but God to, i know i am not perfect but i want to strive for that the best i humanly can. The first thing i had to realize i needed to stop was the idea of sex, the idea of quitting pmo and than finding a sexual partner, if you are a christian than you should not be having sex at all until marriage, i see a lot of people on here saying they are christians and virgins and how badly they want to lose it, well you know the bible says wait till marriage right so why are you trying to sin and lose it?, but thats none of my business. So that is one thing i have sworn off, i may fail in the future but i will fight with every ounce of strength i have to resist sexual temptation and honor Gods commandments, i try to do this with a lot of things in my life, i fail a lot but all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, none is good no not one, so i try not to beat myself up over it, but i still try my best, also reading your bible is so important, i get annoyed hearing christians talking about bible stories and i have no idea what they are talking about, its really sad honestly on my part, but that is one thing i want to improve is reading, i suck at doing it, i am an excellent reader just lack the attention span for it. Anyways guys i am posting this just to make fellow christians think a little, the spiritual warfare is very real and you must protect your soul and salvation guys, Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

    Amen. I'm a christian, too. Definitely try to read the Bible on a regular basis. Even if you read for only 5 minutes, you will be blessed for it. James 4:8 says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you". If you fall into masturbation or pornography, don't feel like you're too sinful to repent. It's like saying that you're too hungry to eat.

    I used to be a big church goer myself. I haven’t gone in many years though, but I still believe. I ain’t shy about swearing though (I work in the construction industry, it’s a hard habit to break) I will say yes read your bible. It’s my belief that reading in general, as simple as this sounds, increases intelligence. Their was one guy I knew in school who had no idea about Jonah and the Wale. Who the fuck doesn’t know about Jonah and Whale? How limited of a house hold do you have to grow up in to not know about that? There are countless kids books on this subject. If you didn’t know about Jonah and the Whale I apalgize for my language. It wasn’t meant to be aimed towards you.

    In an environment like NoFap, where each Fapstronaut is looking out for the others, so that no one loses to their own personal fight; after a comment where littlekegger talks about how religion is helping him overcome his addiction, can I ask what the point of this comment was and how it was, in anyway, helpful?

    And this is not my first streak tho, my highest was 229 days.Therefore I know quite a few things about NoFap and PMO.And honestly, once you experience NoFap (at least for a certain period of time) you can't go back to the PMO lifestyle.It's like taking the red pill in The Matrix, once you're aware of the "NoFap world", you can't go back to sleep.

    As A Believer and follower of CHRIST JESUS I realize that instead of shining HIS Light to the world and
    and Glorifying HIM with my body I've been doing exactly the opposite., in cycles of pornography yet
    my life example should have beamed to those around me the goodness of GOD and CHRIST'S coming
    kingdom.
    Well, that's why we are here,. to change and change for THE LORD.
    Just read this now:
    1 Corinthians 6:18-20
    18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
