Hi, I'm new and very confused about Christianity,

[Confusedly]

A question, if God is all goodness and loving and would sacrifice his own son to a terrible torturous death to save us why then when we are in a terrible situation to the point of considering suicide will He not hear my prayers, in fact people (Christians) have even looked the other way!
I am confused, have lost faith and I really need help

"I feel you may need serious spiritual counseling and guidance. I hope you seriously consider
that your life is a precious gift of God. And with the right attitude and actions and with sound
spiritual assistance, I hope you find what is needed in your life, and hopefully within the pages
of CC, you are encouraged and 'enlightened' to apply God's 'principles' in your life."
'Praise God'

Help is what God put us here to do; help and love one another. We are to be the channels of His love towards one another. I love you. I want you to stay. When you regain your strength, I want you to join me in reaching out to others. Your experience and testimony will be very precious and valuable, my friend. I will pray with you. Never forget that everything that Jesus did, He did because he loves you. He wants to come inside you are walk down life's road with you.

Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

I have opened the door, thrown myself at his feet , begged Him to help, but things go from bad to worse, Job lost everything because of his faith, I feel that I have nothing, everything has been taken away including my health and my family, this baffles me, I imagine God sitting on His thrown watching this........ could you watch your child suffer this way.... I couldn’t and this is my dilemma.

Job
1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

We have considered Job's beginning. He was special in the eyes of the Lord. Let us also consider this end:

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Remember the testimony of our Master...

Hebrews
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Just remember , not everyone that calls them selves a Chrisitan is one . there are many using his name and going to churches that are doing the work of the dark one.

 

[Confusedly]

Amen to that!

 

[theanointedwinner]

in fact people (Christians) have even looked the other way!

Christians are not perfect, only Jesus is

why then when we are in a terrible situation to the point of considering suicide will He not hear my prayers,

God seem silent to develop your faith, I've heard that the book of Job can help, Job even regret being born and request death

So sorry you are feeling this way, and especially the rejection you are experiencing with your fellow brothers and sisters, perhaps surrounding yourself with this community might help bring some clarity.

Hello Confused, welcome to CC! I hope you will enjoy your stay here. Read Job. Then ask yourself, are things that bad yet. That is the best I have for now. Hang on, if you can.

Welcome to CC and nice to meet you. Do you read or listen to the Bible often? 'Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God'.
It is important to at least be familiar with the Word so when challenges come we have His promises to call upon. God does not lie, so I would suggest you look up some Bible promises that pertain to your hardships and put them on post-its all around you place. We need to think and trust on His goodness. 'All things work together for good for those who love the Lord'. 'He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory'. 'When we pray BELIEVE we have it and we will' Mk 11:24. Doubt drowns out faith, so pray His word, believe and then trust and be patient, knowing He said it.
Also, write all your cares down on a piece of paper. Say to God, 'You told us to 'cast ALL our cares on You for You care for us' 1 Pet 5:7. Then say Lord I'm casting all these cares on you, according to Your word, and now you have them'. Take your written list, crumple it up and toss it in the waste basket. Now you must let them go and BELIEVE God will be faithful, as He is. That really takes Faith .and no doubt. God bless!

Good! This means God's got you right where He wants you! In a headlock seeking Him!! 🔥🙏😇

Hi.

According to the scripture, God always take care of you.
It is even when it seems that he does not give you any response.

However, I feel on you.
Because when we pray to God, we would usually cannot hear his voice at all.
But, he lets you as it is and he is making arrangement for your best way.
The bible says so.

Yes, that seems to be really useful measure.

However, as I feel on her, sometimes the notion that I cannot get through the dark path with plenty of pain and sufferings is stuck at me...

Did you have any similar experience?
