Hi. I just wondered if it was still possible to be a Christian. I am going to be honest when I write this even if it turns out wrong.

I used to be a Christian. I never doubted the existence of God and what the Bible says. I lost my faith when my Aunt died of cancer. I know this is sad and I don't mean to upset anyone but I am just telling the truth. Anyway so I prayed and begged for her to stay alive. It didn't happen. I know this is wrong but I blamed God. I thought he hated me so much that he took her away. I never meant to feel like this but it was how it felt. I sometimes still get upset over this

Anyway getting away from this topic I then went very anti Christian. I won't go into details I am sure you can have some idea about what I did. I am just sorry I ever done it. I want to put it right. When ever I saw a person giving out leaflets I used to rip them up in front of him/her. I even once said I wanted to go to Hell. I don't understand why I was like this cause of course I don't want to. I want to get back to the way I was. I want to be Christian again. I don't want to be evil anymore.

Is it too late or is there a way I can turn it around and if there is, is there a way I can keep my faith? I just want to be the way I was before. I am not making any of this up. I need to get it of my mind.

I want to become a Christian again. I wish I never went like this.
Thanks for reading. Please tell me how I can put this right.
Della

It's never too late to turn back to God :)

that's the amazing thing about him, doesnt matter how much we sin, he still loves all his children and he is very patient and lets us comeback in our own time. I know how you feel though, when my grandmother died backk in 2004, whom was like a second mother to me..i was angry and very sad and..i didnt blame God but i remember night before i prayed reallyhard for her to live and was upset God didnt answermy prayer. I believe God doesnt wish to see nay of us hurt or sad and tis normal to go through your own version of grief when someone you love dies. Jesus even gave a parable about it in Luke chapter 10 i think about prodigal son returning home and his father celebrated and welcomed him home. That's how God feels when we turn from sin and cometo him he rejoices and it's said even angels rejoice with him in heaven when we repent and ask to become his child

This has actually made me feel better. This time I will try better. I feel better that it is out in the open.

There's still hope for you to become a Christian. The only time that it's too late, is when you're dead.

Jesus don't lose His sheep. They wonder off, but He don't lose any.

It's never too late!!! You made mistakes. So what? We all do it, we all make mistakes. No matter what they are, we can repent and be forgiven. All you have to do is ask Him for forgiveness. God LOVES us so much, no matter what we do.

And you're not an evil person for making mistakes.

Did you actually know Jesus and Holy Spirit? Or where you just being religious in going along to church and doing religious stuff out of duty and because it was expected of you?

As already said, its never too late if you are alive on this earth.

It's never too late. Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart, one thing though, there is only one doorknob and it's on your side. When you cry out for Him, He will hear you, when you accept Him in your heart, you are His. And by that, it's like opening the door for Jesus to come in. :)

It's never too late - that's the wonderful thing about having a merciful and forgiving God. Even if you thought you might have turned your back to him and loudly proclaimed you didn't believe in him, he surely never abandoned you! And he rejoices in the return of his "lost" child, as do your brothers and sisters in Christ! :)

our God is a perfect God, his love endures forever. i was once a backslider i thought that my sins will never be forgiven that i'm not gonna be His again anymore..but thats a lie. its true that sinning will make us distant from God, but heres the good news, 1 john 1:19 says, "if confess our sins (to God), he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness". see it takes a single prayer to be forgiven by God, no matter how big our sins was it won't matter to God. He's wonderful and awesome God.
