I just can't make sense of it. The more I read the Bible, the less it makes sense. The more I pray to God, the more anxious and lonely I feel. Can anyone help?

Get a waifu

>>937124047
I have one. She's my wife. She's pregnant with our first child.

Youre supposed to speak your problems, idk about prayer im not a christian, mental thought is too similar to rationalisation, verbal thought is better, speak out loud like a lawyer to your inclinations speaking in front of an audience, do it with pride, vigor, arrogance, and humor. Thats my advice idk if it relates to your question but I think this is the more direct solution

>>937123966 (OP)
You should definitely ditch christianity.

superstition clouds the mind of reason
what a perversion upon humanity

Hey there! I'm a 21-year-old gal from the states, a bit on the thicker side, and I absolutely love taking the lead in steamy convos. One of my favorite things is making guys totally lose control during our chats and seeing just how far I can push their buttons while having a blast myself. I'm usually in the mood for some fun (total wild child over here!), but I do struggle with social anxiety, so meeting up isn't really my style. That's why I'm all about these private chats – they're just way easier! Hit me up on the app by adding m-e-l-l-z-o-y. Just make sure to remove the spaces and dashes! I'm seriously looking for some adventurous sexting buddies, no games here.

>>937124047
you do realise apogee hates men right?

>>937123966 (OP)
Satan is trying to trick you into turning from god. He wants you to question yourself and your faith.

>>937123966 (OP)
Remember what Jesus said about money. Look at the world today crumbling down with constant problems where only a very small percentage own absolutely everything and the masses slave away to make it all possible - extreme money addiction is an end times religious cult requiring the most fanatical believers who are absorbed with themselves.

The bible has a lot of stories, it also has a lot of truth which has not changed since it was written. All of the information we have today is subject to keep changing and evolving endlessly, to keep you on a hook of shopping and spending.

Filling pockets, perceived wealth, a self made throne, and some severely altered thinking - if that's what you want to life to become all about with money.

This faggot is also raiding pol, mods please do something.

>>937123966 (OP)
Ask yourself: what reason do I have to believe in a god? What evidence can I find that supports the idea that a god exists?

And if the answer is a "holy book" that tells you talking snakes are a real thing, or that the sun stopped moving across the sky (!), then you will know why you it doesn't make sense.

>>937123966 (OP)
christianity and islam are the worst religions, both are loaded absolutist dogma, evil and hate
try something that's actually good for your soul like buddism or hindu

>>937130589
or join a coven

>>937123966 (OP)
Yeah. God is not real. It was bunk 2000 years ago and it's bunk now. If you actually do any real study of the bible besides just listening to what your pastor tells you, you're going to be embarrassed you ever believed it. Some clif notes for you:

>There's no evidence of Jews ever being in Egypt

>There's no evidence of Solomon's expansive kingdom. At All.

>There's no evidence the Exodous ever happened

>The earliest gospel (mark) is written like 30~70 years after jesus supposedly walked the earth

>The writings of Josephus are admittedly forgeries but for some reasons historians argue they're reliable sources

>The bible is full of blatant contradictions. As in, how did Judas die, why is it called the field of blood, and who purchased the field? There are two verses that telll completely different stories

>The doctrine of the trinity wasn't even established until 325 AD in the council of Nicea.

Like it's just really obviously people holding onto biases or fear of hell. Ditch religion and discover true life. You'll be a lot happier unless you're a dumbass.

>>937131030
>There are two verses that tell completely different stories
Shit, there are two different and contradictory creation myths.

Yeah I mean the whole thing is just really silly. I don't come down on people too hard because I was very religious when I was younger. After going to a preseminary program and studying the bible under any level of academic rigor it just becomes obvious that basically all supernatural stuff is BS. There's no evidence for any of it.

>>937131126
When someone tells me they're some flavor of christian, but they are not outwardly and obviously retarded I just take it as unspoken that what they mean is I don't actually believe all of this supernatural nonsense, but I still like the idea of community centered around the figure of christ, as depicted in the NT.

>>937131229

Which I get. I've been an atheist for like 15 years now and it's been pretty hard to replace the community. I've joined atheist groups but they're honestly all cringe and ultra liberal. I eventually just realized being an atheist didn't have to be my whole identity in my mid-twenties and grew up. Now my life is pretty awesome. I barely even talk abou tit.

>>937123966 (OP)
First, no matter what you call yourself, if you're on here you are very definitely not following the Christian faith. Stop pretending.
Secondly you don't feel anxious and lonely because you pray. You feel that way because you're a friendless loser. A relationship with God does not replaces with humans.
Stop coming here for answers. You need professional therapy to help you get your shit together. Your problem isn't with God - it's the fact that you can't function in society. Religion can enrich your life, but you have to HAVE a life to begin with. If you're coming here for advice and solace, your current way of living is deeply flawed.
Get help now and get on the right track before you waste the time you have and end up dying alone.

>>937131873
Bullshit. There's lots of good advice on 4chan. He's gotten quite a bit in this thread. Including that religion is a band-aid.

> A relationship with God does not replaces with humans.

Sorry but you don't understand Christianity.

>>937131948

>>937131873
>You're not a real Christian
Nigger the Bible has been rewritten 9ver a dozen times, there are literally no "true christians" if your definition is being 100% above board on what a mistranslated book tells you.

>>937132014
You're right, dismissing claims without evidence is a very christian thing to do. So is being an arrogant dumbass, so you're on the right track. However, the problem with your point theologically is that you're explicitly instructed his grace is sufficient and you can rely on him more than all things (including people):

Psalm 118:8 (NIV)

“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.”

Psalm 27:10 (NLT)

“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.”

2 Timothy 4:16-17 (ESV)

“At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me... But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me.”

Psalm 73:25-26 (ESV)

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

> John was ostracized

> Jesus, moses, and basically everyone who has a mountaintop experience goes out alone for long periods of time

It's one of the few messages in your dumb religion that are consistent. But yeah yuk it up retard.

>>937132289
You are literally saying an imaginary friend can replace real ones. Who's the retard again?

>>937132354
Schizophrenics have something to say to you.

>>937132354
>>937132354

I'm saying god's not real. When Christians come out and say "god of the bible is real but you need friends" I'm telling you that you don't understand Christianity.

It's a bullshit religion but that doesn't mean it's completely devoid of parameters.

>>937130589
>buddhism or hindu
hello saar

>>937123966 (OP)
Actually read the Bible

>>937132838
>>937130589

The religion that says men who expect their wives to swallow when they suck dick are boiled in a pool of semen when they die? Yeah that's way better.

Religious people are so fucking stupid.

>>937123966 (OP)
Is there a problem,"anon"?
Is there a problem with Christianity?
Well,you could turn to Atheism,
and being an Atheist,as well.
Might work out for you.
Just saying!

>>937132883
>Actually read the Bible
Step one in many an atheist's conversion.

Jeez! What in the blazes

Looks like a "yes" to me.
Atheism? Yeah! Sure! Why not?

>>937130189
Well,the money itself is NOT the
root of all evil(s),but,THE LOVE OF MONEY,is.
Has anyone ever told you,THAT,lately?

>>937131117
Is that even a real website??

>>937131030
Well,you might be right about one thing.
God is NOT real. And I am thankful that
there is something called Atheism in existence.
I might not have any actual trust in that,"God",itself,
but I do have a very little bit of respect for it.
And at least I have,NOT,died at all. Lucky ol' me.

Now take this "REDPILL",
and don't go choking on it.
Thanks.
KEK.

>>937132778
>implying Christians have read their holy book

What Bible did you read?
King James Version is the best and most authentic Bible. Other bibles are utter shit.

>>937133315
>In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger

>>937136128
Lie. That's the bible that added "Alone" so protestant larpers can justify not needing a magisterium that they could never be a part of by being heretical, prideful sons of satan.

Incorrect, kjv is the worst translation.

>King James Version is the best and most authentic Bible.


you're saying that the "most authentic" version is a version written 1575 years after the life of Jesus, which was written specifically for a man obsessed with witches, and wanted justification for the burning of witches, who believed that he was a man of science, for imprisoning two babies on an uninhabited island, with only a deaf and mute nurse to look after them, and came back to them 10 years later, and concluded that the language they used was Hebrew, the "true" language of Man...
Despite the fact James did not speak Hebrew to know what it sounded like?

I don't think you know what "authentic" is, but I suggest you start by learning Coptic Greek, and Hebrew.

>>937136128
explain how a book translated into a different language, and edited by committee to only include the parts they wanted, is somehow more authentic than the original texts?

>>937138346
Well they ain't got original texts so....

>>937123966 (OP)
Go To Church, specifically the Catholic Church and talk to the priest about your doubts.

>>937136128
DouayRheims is better.

>you should go talk to your drug dealer about how you want to quit drugs, surely he'll help you out

that's a worryingly accurate analogy.
