Hello.. I have done a very horrible thing.. I have called someone a fool.. well as we can see in the scriptures..

(Matthew 5:22) - "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

But the moment I called the guy that was because, he kept bothering me in the classroom and he didn't stop.. It may seem to me that I have tested myself to see wether im in the faith or not and I think im not a christian..

I live a pretty much... slow life... it's sad for me really I want to deny myself, I don't view my ... what I would consider former family members 'family members' and I want to deny myself.. I have had sexual problems.. yeah, I said it, AND I HAVE HAD IT.. it's still urging me man.. where am I going, am I ever going to make any progress wanting to be a follower of christ jesus? I don't know, I have prayed for wisdom... but... I might in fact just be in big trouble.. I really need you guys to pray for me.. support, because if I don't work this out then huh. I apologized him promptly because I felt bad for saying that to the kid. But I don't know if he forgave me. It just makes me feel bad. Am I living the life of some kind of hypocrite? fool?
I don't want to be like that I assure you! maybe I am just required more faith?

Please.. if you won't pray for me, I am willing to listen to harsh reproves or rebukes.. if necesary
have I done something that I can't repent from?

FRIEND!!! HEY!! You sound just like me!! Your heart is in the very right place. Don't let Satan deceive you, the first part of coming into the will of God is repentance. You have to ALWAYS remember this. If you slip, Jesus will forgive you, you have to go to him. He already knows that you slipped, but he will forgive you if you just go to him.

This does not make you a hypocrite!!! NO!! This means that there is a war going on, and that the flesh is going to kick against the Spirit. This is the issue Paul talks about, that the things he hates he does. Maybe you have heard about the armor of God, or maybe not, but you have asked many of the right questions. Faith is indeed one, but faith means that when you slip you hang on to the promise that says YOU HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER.

It is very good to love God so much that you hate to sin. That is perfect.

HAHA you want harsh rebukes? No my friend, this is not a time for harsh rebukes, that was done already when the Holy Spirit convicted you. Now I want to lift you up in Jesus. This war still goes on with me, flesh vs the Spirit. It is a very violent and at times, silent war. It is a war over our very souls. The more we grow the more obvious we will see this war, and how it is manifesting in the world today.

BUT DON"T LET SATAN EVER LEAD YOU TO CONDEMNATION!!! NO!! NOT EVER!!! JESUS WILL FORGIVE YOU. However you also have read that if your brother has anything against you go to him and make peace. And in fact this will only be hard because Satan wants to harden your heart. Just go do it no matter how awkward it may be. Like a child who is sorry. You have to go to your friend and make peace. Try not to be boastful about it. May JESUS BLESS YOU!!!
 
You are in my prayers in Jesus Christ is Lord!
Forgive yourself and your family, trust in the love, care and forgiveness in Jesus.
Psalm 23 is good to read when feeling as you do.
It is a comfort and hope to me all the time. :)

In Jesus, God bless.

:) God will always forgive you, though you may do much sin, he will forgive. :)
Let Him change you and your language, let Him fill you with His love. I will be praying for you. GOD BLESS
 
When you start feeling condemned, and the powers of evil start closing in, claiming to be God, proclaim to them that you claim the righteousness of Christ and not your own. When you are in the fires of hell, tell them to stand back, say, "I am the righteousness of Christ, I do not claim my own righteousness. I put my faith in Christ, Christ is why I am right and justified." Keep doing it and they will leave and God's peace will settle upon you. And out of that place of peace, hidden in Christ, with your enemies silent, ask the Lord how you can love this person as yourself.

If the Holy Spirit gives you the love for this person, maybe bring them a gift. A gift card to their favorite place to eat or something. It shouldn't be awkward though, if the Lord is leading you, you will have power, love, peace and the right words to say. Keep praying for him too.

You are doing great. It's good to see someone who actually cares, especially at your age. Put all your faith in Christ, that He is your identity. As soon as we waiver in our conscience that devil will be there to condemn. And if he comes at you that strongly, there has to be a reason why. And because you are so young, making a stand for Christ, actually caring about what God thinks, in a world where most people deny Him, I would say that Christ in you is preparing you for something that Satan would like to end. Keep moving forward in Christ, trust in his accomplishment on the cross and love others as yourself, when you fall, get back up and cling to Christ again and do the best you can to love others how you would like to be loved again. As you keep doing this over and over again, you will see that Christ will never leave you nor forsake you and you will increase in faith as you see His faithfulness to you.

Do you have any friends that you could spend time in worship with and to seek the Lord? Not to time to debate, but time to just worship, seek the Lord and to stand with one another in prayer? If not, I pray that the Lord will bring the right people along. Also, in everything that you do, homework, listening to teachers, dealing with other people, even playing video games ...practice not taking offense. Practice not flipping that little switch that says, 'that's it, I'm letting you have it!' With practice, the fruit of self control will increase and in time you will be able to cope increasingly better with the people and environment around you.

Bless you bro, and above all gifts, pray for Love and for Love to be perfected in your heart.

Heavenly Father, I lift up this young man to You today and the young man at his school. I pray for peace in all of this. Give each person the right words at the right time. I magnify Christ in this situation. Move powerfully on both of their hearts. In Jesus Name, Amen.
 
GabrielVS: My heart goes out to you, young brother. It is hard to do the right thing all the time, but like others have already said, please forgive yourself because Jesus has already forgiven you. Be gentle with yourself. I applaud you for wanting to be held accountable for your words and deeds and wanting to right your wrongs quickly. You listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit which is great.
