I don't know, I just had a relapse in listening to ungodly music. Which honestly was caused by a series of events in my personal life. π₯²

Nothing currently. I mean I'm always struggling with the daily of life, that's nothing new. But a few years. Back I sustained an injury at work that put me on the shelf for quite some time. And since It altered my life both in the meantime and to an extent PERMANENTLY, I didn't see how I'd move forward. I prayed over and over again and felt like I wasn't getting an answer. But I learned as I have many other times in life. God answers! It just doesn't always come on your timeline. And not always the way you expect.
π€ππ€ππ€π
I've always struggled with feeling like God cares one way or another, but that comes and goes.
Right now I'm struggling with sexual purity and what's actually wrong or right. I grew up being told that anything remotely sexual, even using the word "hot" to describe the temperature (yeah I know I grew up in a crazy family), was wrong. So now that I'm moving on from that, I've been searching for answers on my own and it's been a bit nervewracking.
I get what you mean.
Well, just know he sees when one is hurt and it hurts him, too. He seems when one is confused, and he tries to guide them. π
Wowβ¦that is wild! Hot is not even a bad word. π
The best I can say to that is just follow the Bible and the words written in it. Everyone nowadays has some doctrine they will use to hangover your head, which makes you feel guilty. God actually doesnβt want us to feel guilt, I think. It defeats the purpose of his love. π
@knightwatch27 correct me if I am wrong please. π
Either way, I pray you find the answers you are looking for. ππ§πΎββοΈ
I will try to remember that. That's something I tell others who are hurting, but rarely think of when I'm hurting
I know right? People can be so crazy and think that they're perfect
I've been trying to follow the bible, but I haven't actually found much in the new testament about sexual right and wrong.
Thank you
Oh, hunβ¦there is quite a bit in the New Testament about sexual rights and wrongs. Would you like me to share it with you? ππ«§
Yes that would be awesome.
You're mostly right @sweetjoygirl He does not wish for us to feel condemned, though the Bible speaks of Godly sorrow, healthy regret that leads us closer to Him and to repent from sin.
@Knightwatch27 Thank you for adding to that! ππ«§
@MicahRaine So, here are a few verses about sexual stuff in the New Testamentβ¦
Romans 1:26-27 ~ This talks about unnatural sex with the same gender.
Hebrews 13:4 ~ This talks about sexual immorality and the importance of keeping the marriage bed undefiled.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 talks about fleeing from sexual immorality.
Galatians 5:19-21 ~ It talks about the works of the flesh being evident (sexual immorality, impurity etc.)
There are plenty more! ππ§πΎββοΈπ«§
Let me know if you have any questions! π«§π
Thanks. Are there any verses that explicitly address premarital sex not just "adultery"?
Ofc! Here is a verse! ππ§πΎββοΈ
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 ~ It talks about sinning against our own body and how our body is a temple of God. It is an urge for us to avoid sexual immorality.
thanks
No problem! π
I am a Christian. Why do you feel guilty about the music you are listening to? What is the music? Who said it is unGodly and what were their reasons? What is going on in your personal life that relates to this? Does the music have a positive or negative impact on your spirit as far as the personal events you describe? Does the music cause you to actually sin according to the scriptures? Just wondering if you can clarify a bit.
Are you Christian? π€
@SweetJoyGirl All I'm saying is that you might be straining gnats because of how certain teachers decided to interpret scripture...
Matthew 23
@SweetJoyGirl How long have you been a Christian? For me it has been 20 years of following Jesus. :)
Hmmmβ¦that chapter is true.
I grew up in the faith. π
And congrats on 20 years! π
@SweetJoyGirl Thanks! :) He has been very good to me and supplied every need for my spirit.
If you grew up in the faith, I suspect the hard time is yet to come for you in your walk with Him. You have probably not yet deconstructed your faith and rebuilt it on a firmer foundation. You'll be faced with a choice one day. One day, you'll have to choose whether or not to take the red pill and wrestle with your faith, or ignore it and risk having a superficial one. Just know this: When that day comes, He is with you, and you don't need to be afraid.
Ok, thank you! π€π
@SweetJoyGirl You are welcome! :)
Deuteronomy 18:21-22
"And if you say in your heart, βHow shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?'
When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him".
God bless you.
I am so glad I left the church at 16 and I never had to deal with feeling guilty over listening to a song that wasnβt expressly about worshipping Jesus. I feel very grateful to exist because of you today, thank you for that 💜

Iβm not sure if this is a prank postingβ¦ but I am certain, Christians can visit a Rolling Stones concert, go wild dancing and singing and not burn in hell for it. 🤔
You are the troll. : )
Not this time, no...
Gender identity. I feel like I'm halfway between male and female. I'm against the LGBT garbage but I feel androgynous. I found an OTC herb that redistributes fat to make me more shapely but I've stopped taking it because I don't think Jesus would approve.
He wonβt, but he still loves you regardless. You are his child. ππ§πΎββοΈ
During our hardest days, he watches and is very close. When we are hurt and confused, he also hurts. πππ
Trying to keep from losing this house, too. Religious people are very into taking away houses from their non-religious relatives! Y'know, that whole, "love thy brother" thing that they preach all day long but have NO idea how to implement it.
Pardon me? π
You're excused.
Lust can definitely be a struggle. The devil loves to use perversions to get people to stumble. As well as our own flesh. Some people think every evil desire comes form the demonic but thatβs not true, absolutely a lot of it is, but a lot of it is also our own hearts.
Fighting sexual sin in whatβs becoming a reprobate society can be hard especially when the devil loves using demoralization.
Now Iβm not saying all music is bad by any means, but you do have to be careful. Some artists are definitely messing with the demonic realm others may be unaware. Some are good people. But thatβs another story.
I mostly listen to country. But if I start hearing too much pop I start feeling sick
Sex is the biggest one. I want to have a marriage, but I will never marry under laws that allow the other person to cheat and still get half of everything plus future financial support.
Also money. Sometimes I focus so much on building my portfolio to reach financial independence - more passive income than all expenses - that I ignore more important things.
Finally idolatry. Not open worship of objects, but sometimes my devotion to my guitars and music equipment borders upon it. This can overlap with the "money" issue as well.
Im definitely on you with the music. Its so easy to be swept in by the world so dont beat yourself up too much. I love music , its relaxing and calming. Even though gospel music is great, I liked almost all types of music and I believe we can relate to them in some kind of way.
Another one of mine is Anger. Like I know I am not supposed to hold onto it but I get so upset when I see a lot of injustice and good people suffer.
Yea, music and anger are very related to a lot of people. ππ€
@Asker :)
My struggle was as a kid in catholic school looking around and thinking to myself "Does anyone actually believe this shit?"
Struggle resolved. I'm an athiest now. I suggest you give it some consideration to free yourself.
Why would I give up something I grew up in and believe? If I give it up, what becomes of me?
I become a heathen. An outcast, and practically a lost soul. πππ
You only need to click your ruby red slippers three times and you can come back to reality. I grew up in it too, then i GREW UP! You become an individual with free will, agency snd purpose! "The war is over, if you want it" John Lennon
Trying to avoid the hypersexual nature of society as the media represents it.
I've restricted myself to Netflix and Amazon Video so I can limit what I end up watching rather than having to wade through the veritable ocean ot tits and ass on mainstream television. Even then it's not easy. Alan Ritchson (Reacher) is a born again Christian and his YouTube channel, instachurch, is brilliant - but Reacher still has nudity in it.
May I just ask what you consider ungodly music? Because you can be Christian and listen to death metal, itβs just music.
Yea, I know we can listen to metal. There is Christian metal. lol
I have a whole playlist. πππ
Yeah but you can also listen to non Christian stuff in my opinion.
Anger/lust. But as the good book says: "Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world."
-1 Peter 5:9
We are not alone in our struggles and never alone as Christ is in us.
Cath9lics attacking me yet they claim Tobe Christians when they idolized the pope and Mary.
Well, the Catholic Church is different. π
I am not Catholic. π
I am glad thank you. My experience you study the Bible and read and showed and prove what scriptures states and yet catholics idolized the pope. I bet if the pope Francis wake-up one day and decided hey today is a nice day to ju. p of a window sure catholicswill do it because the pope say so.
π π π π
God forgives...
now please, please... put down that Nickelback music (=
lmao π€£
I have the same thing but I think as long as I'm not influenced by it, I've got control over it
Hmmmmmmβ¦.π
My struggles are not shouting "Man Fuck da devil" at church
Not a Christian but struggling to process feelings that are new for me
Music is only ungodly if it talks about worshipping Satan or something like that, don't be a fanatical religious idiot
I noticed a lot of catholics will perform all tge ordenazations but still act horrible. I made the choice to quick religion and just believe in God. I took time and some of the things pastors say don't add up.
Any way did you had a horrible experience at chrich in the past?
What you call "relapses" are probably just your innate biological common sense fighting back against the disease.
Struggling! I don't know if i can call it a struggle but it's about feeling lonely when it comes to love or having a woman with me as a wife...
If your choice of music is your biggest struggle then consider yourself lucky.
I struggle with worldly brethren who want to accept the culture of the world entering our church.
i'm struggling not to fap to the picture in your profile. does that count? 🤣
Sir, what? π
