Be me

This was me five years ago user. Just start studying and attending Mass if you're interested. It's a good think for children to learn the faith by just following instructions but for men I think it's more important to understand first
Saint Augustine's Confessions is a great place to start. He catalogs all of his sins from birth to old age; really fascinating story. Librivox has a free audiobook on Youtube that's well-narrated
>t. stopped banging roasties, found a good girl, now about to propose to my Catholic gf after dumping some more YFV farm yields on Hotbit so I can buy a sick engagement ring

I am a sinner

So am I brother. But the good news is you can never stray so far that Jesus won't forgive you. No matter how much I repent and strain every moral fiber of my being to become a good man, my mission and the mission of every Christian is still to help sinners like you. Not to judge you, just to let you know that sin gets in the way of your relationship with God

Is Zig Forums a kjv only board?

It's New American for me desu. I want to study the Word in a form I can share with everyone, and imo the people you're most likely to make an impact on with a little bit of memorized scripture are the kind who will find kjv stuffy and inaccessible

Great post, frend

What have you people done thats so bad you get all weepy and gay over forgiveness?? im not perfect, but shit im decent enough to sleep at night and not feel like im due for eternal hell

I was truly terrible and got away with covering it up, utterly selfish and felt no remorse
And the funny thing is that looking back it all seemed like good fun. You tell yourself everyone knows the rules and if you're upfront about being a douchebag then nobody can blame you if they decide to stick around
There's something that happens inside a proud man who is humbled user. At my lowest point I reached for the Book of Job, and the gratitude I felt just for the gift of life--again, there at my lowest point, unemployed and getting kicked out of an apartment I should have easily been able to pay rent on, dead broke from the party scene--man I felt such gratitude that I did cry. I just asked God for help, and in the midst of all of that I found peace. I stopped smoking weed and doing psychedelics, moved home and buckled down, had a good job in a new city a few months later
And I totally understand you calling this gay--I'd have said the same thing desu

If you were truly close with God you would be your own prophet.

Wrong. Ironically it is you that is going to hell for not putting your trust in what Jesus did for you.

No one is saying Sanctification, Obedience, perseverance and surrendering to Jesus are unimportant. They are important. They are just NOT a requirement of Salvation.

To be saved, you must be humble enough to admit that because you are a sinner and fall short of God's standard, there is nothing you could do on your own to earn salvation. Salvation is a free gift of God, paid in full by Christ's death on the cross.

Believing on Jesus - meaning believing that he is the ONLY reason why you are justified - is what gets you to heaven. People call that "easy believism" and scoff at those who think that. But really, it takes humility to accept that there is nothing in your power to be saved. And that is why most people reject the simplicity of the Gospel.

But if you say that you need to persevere, do good, turn away from sin etc. in order to be saved, that is works-based salvation. And if you want to follow that path, then you will be judged according to your works. And no one can live up to the standard of the law.

"Grace" is grace because you don't deserve it. Period.

Just a quick note - when the Bible uses the word "repent" in the context of salvation, it means a 'change of mind'. Every other religion says you need to be good to be saved (or get to nirvana or attain a higher caste etc). Only the Bible teaches Grace. To believe in Jesus IS repentance from your pride - thinking that you are a good person - to understanding that you need God and God alone to be made worthy.

Obedience to Jesus comes as a requirement of fellowship. Perseverance, is a requirement of fellowship. As a Christian, it is in your desire to please God. So yes, turn away from sin by all means. But that is what you do because you grow in the faith and learn about God and His will for us - not to get saved or to prove you're saved etc.

NASB is the one I use too. Also Interlinear - which is almost the same as KJV without the Shakespeare English.
