Hi my name is Noah I am a teenager and I really just wanted some advice so I do this addiction that many men may do/tried I think you guys may know what it is already well it is infront of the computer screen and it is very icky well I been fighting this battle and am clean for a day so far because it used to be several times a day andi have this concern I been a bit worried that God has hardened my heart because I knew the truth at thetime atleast I think I did and I continually chose to sin deliberately just for self gratification and pleasure and I just could not say no and I do not know why I was so weak not to say no I just never usually done it and just got started a few months ago. Well I knew a decent amount about Christianity sicne I started to go to Christian school since 4th grade so I think I know an average amount but I just recently am struggling with doubts and have been scared God hates me I mean he might hate me I am not sure and I always restle with God and always question Him and myself and start asking more questions like why this why that and so on and I get my mine out of control and crazy because of it. I got myself kind of scared and I don't know why in the world I even tried it but I looked up a lot of stuff about antichrist and I heard that this year will end like I said I do not know if it is true but if it is I think I may go to Hell like before I tried being a Christian but I don't know I think I am just lacking in the faith? I honestly don't know but I want to enter Heaven and I want my parents and my friends to enter too if I had the choice. For a time I was so terrified of God and haha I mean I even thought when it thundered it was because God was mad at me and only me at the time like after I did something bad I went in my room away from my computer thinking he would make it explode or something lol. Well I need prayer because my mind is making me so confused I know this is not an excuse and I don't know but I think I may be bipolar as a family thing and maybe ADHD which I am not sure could be atleast one percent of the problem but I am not stating an excuse I just do not know what to do from here on out I try changing but I always fail and choose the wrong and I just read stories about a guy who pondered and searched about God for years and he thought he was and believed in his heart he was a Christian than he quit and stopped being a pastor and all and it confuses me because that right there made me confused and I am so scared if God is coming soon I mean if He is I can not do much now I mean I always think I am the worst sinner because yea ii may have not killed anyone but I mean I have done bad things yea idefinately have remorse but I mean I do not know I obviously been through a lot too but at the end of the day there is no excuse please pray that God will make things more visible for me with faith that rises major with consistency that doesn't change iw ant to consider walking the path of the light because I really do not believe in evolution even though in secular schools that is really what the teach now a days which is crazy but I do believe there is a God out there but there are both scary parts of God and not scary but the scary drives me insane and makes me scared to the point where I feel like I can not do anything to make Him happy and content who knows maybe it is jjjust me I am seeking counselling for this and a few other things and therapy not just for this but family matters and other personal problems Lord I knows I have a lot haha but yea please pray for me and my mom and dad it would mean the world to me because I do not know anymore ;/

Since you can't get to church, you could watch an online service. I watch one streamed live from Florida. Calvary Church. They have services on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Just type "Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale" into youtube, and put the shortcut to it onto your browser's bookmarks bar. 
There are easier translations to use. I have KJV but it's hard for me to understand. Maybe some of the guys on here could recommend an easier one to use.

Is the thing on your arm itchy or sore? If it's a mole and itches or hurts, definitely get it checked out..
Spend $10 on this book. And do the exercises. You will never regret it.

Our prayers are with you, Noah!
Ask God to lead you to a church in your area with a pastor that you can talk to right away. Don't be shy, there isn't anything that a seasoned pastor hasn't seen or heard before. If it makes it easier, most churches have websites or Facebook pages that will allow you send messages if you feel like you want to talk to someone online first before meeting them in person to get a feel for who you're talking to.
Just remember that Jesus responds to anyone who calls on his name for help as long as you are sincere in seeking him.
God bless you!

I've always used a king james version but lately Ive switched to several other translations and its helped bring me more understanding of what God really meant in the Bible. i use the youversion app on my phone and kindle and switch between kjv, NET, NLT and ESV. and sometimes the amplified Bible. read it but STUDY it. Dont let yourself think since you have knowledge about the bible thst you cant benefit from reading and rereading. you can.
Psalms have helped me a lot. David is an awesome example of how to conduct yourself after any failure.
Keep yourself busy, keep yourself away from movies, music, or people who make the struggle worse....and focus on Him. Hes not going to let you down.

I will say that it was a little difficult to read, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say I missed it. But I didn't see ONE mention of Jesus Christ in your whole post!
Noah, we all sin. And yes, if we continue willfully sinning it will lead to death and Hell. Because God is a just God, and He cannot let sin go unpunished. But Christ came to earth as a little baby. He lived a perfect life, and even though He was sinless the people killed Him. Then He rose from the dead, and went back into heaven. So, why did he do this? Why did He go through the pain and humiliation of coming into the world as one of us. Why did He go through rejection and betrayal and filth and death? Why? WHY DID HE DO IT??
The answer is that even though we do things that are so sinful He cannot bear to look at us, He loved us. He loved us enough that He wanted to save us from ourselves, and the only way He could do that was by taking our place, and dying for us that the justice of God might be satisfied. The only way we can truly overcome sin is to ask Jesus to help us and put a new and willing heart into us. Even then it isn't easy. The Christian life is NEVER easy. But it is worth the reward at the end.
I cannot tell you when the world is going to end, no one knows. It could be thousands of years, and it could be tomorrow. We need to be ready for it NOW. Because if we're not, by the time it comes we'll realize we're too late.

Yea I get that it was hard in my mind I did not think of putting it in an orderly fashion I mean I did not make many spelling mistakes I just did not split it into pararaphs so yea my apologies... and also when you said I did not mention Jesus well to mean Jesus is God they both are the same in a sense if you seen Jesus you see the Father so yea that is the first thing and I know we all sin but in my post I am trying to overcome addiction and a lot more I both pray as well as others I been clean for about 2 days which is good considering the fact it was a daily multiple times a day thing.
Also I get that He has to send people to Hell because He is just it is honestly sad especially since it is forever I mean I can not wrap my mind around it because people in Hell have regret forever I mean I have extreme sympathy for them in my mind I think the really really abd people go there but not according to the Bible because He is perfect than we are all very bad.
Listen I am just a bit confused and mixed emotions and of course no one knows when the world ends but I just wish if we did see God and weren't Christian why can't accept Jesus than if we truly repent and are sorry I don't think it should be too late even if we were infront of Him because some people become Christians moments before they die.
I don't really know I just wish the sentence for sinners was not forever atleast because I know some of my family members were not Christian and according to the Bible they were in there right now gnashing there teeth and waling and screaming.... It is quite the touchy subject to be honest with you. I know Jesus died for me I just have very low faith and in my mind I think when we get the Holy Spirit we are completely different but that is not the case I mean you become a new creature but you still sin and struggle with sin a lot and I been struggling a lot I know there is no excuse nor am I trying to prove myself to anyone I just wish people went to Heaven more because most people are going to hell according to the Bible broad is detruction ... I don't know I mean i think I am being sincere but with me my mind is always all over the place to where I don't know if I am as sincere as I should be I have bad ADHD and bad depression so my mind is always thinking about a lot so yea I been praying but I don't think they will be answered because if I am questioning my salvation than He won't answer my prayers because He only answers prayers to those who are his..
