Hey man one of the greatest men in the bible was David and he always sought the Lord. So we too and you too must seek God everyday. Its not that you are not saved its that you want intimacy with Him. Acts 17:27 "that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us"

That scripture is my only hope. (Philippians 1:6) I love Jesus, but have struggled mightily with life in general... and with sin. I am an autistic man, since birth. The world tells me that being autistic is a blessing. I feel just the opposite. My autism makes verbal communication extremely difficult. I rethink much of what I say and do. I have no confidence in myself because of this fault. I struggle mightily with sensory input. I have many quirks (like stimming) which make most people reject me. I have been married and divorced twice and will never do that again. I live alone. Insanely lonely (in spite of preferring fewer than more people in my life). The pandemic has not helped. I feel like the sick man at the pool of Bethesda. If only I could touch Jesus. I see stray dogs on the street getting better treatment than I do. Sorry for this long rant. I am crying out for help and love from the Christian community. I cannot find it. Nothing but a little pat on the shoulder and "I will pray for you". That and rejection. Perhaps if I had not been trying so hard most of my life to fit in (that's a mountain of hard work for an autistic person, and I am worn out because of it), I would be in a better place. About a year ago I finally came to grips with my autistic diagnosis (high functioning) of 27 years ago. It changed my world as the previous life I was living, out of necessity to hold a job, was a lie. I finally took the mask off. I now allow myself to be autistic. I no longer try to hide it. I allow myself to stim at home, and occasionally in public. Never used to do this. Anyhow. My life is nearing it's end and I want to find Jesus in a bigger way. I want to be healed of this complicated mess that is my life. Am I saved? I do not know. I have hope that I am. I talk to Him always (today that is all I did all day). I read His word. I love people. But I am in deep emotional pain. I have been targeted and terrorized by a very evil man who lives next door to me as well. The terror is so egregious that nobody even believes me, not my family or police. I am to the point where death sounds so much more attractive than life. This post is my (likely last) cry for help. If only I could touch Jesus. Love you all.

Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Exodus 16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Jeremiah 8:6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Proverbs 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: Job 5:24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Daniel 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 2 Peter Chapter 1 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

@jonney tango yes that’s completely correct in that all have broken Gods commandments, the law was to show us how sinful we are and that we could never be perfect in Gods eyes by trying to follow the law, that’s why we need a saviour, Jesus Christ is that saviour and there is no other way to the father but faith alone in Jesus Christ as our saviour, you say the bible is false? There is so much evidence from as early as when the New Testament was written to completely say it is the true word of God and just saying because it was translated into English it became false is so far from the truth, there are only minor differences from the original Greek, nothing that takes away the true meaning of the gospel of Jesus, I hope you can see this one day

[@hogansheroes2793]

True, if we love God we will obey His commandments. Thankfully we aren't saved by loving God but rather because He first loved us and gave himself for us. The only reason anyone will ever be in Heaven is solely by the shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection, of Jesus Christ Alone. Our good works, repenting of sins, and obedience, are solely for rewards in Heaven or a lack thereof and have absolutely nothing to do with salvation at all. Salvation is absolutely free. Rewards are worked for!

[@lincolnforlong8378]

Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes, all Scripture, including the minor prophets have valuable lessons for us Gentiles. We learn much of God’s character, how He responds to Israel and His covenantal future faithfulness to Israel. If Yahweh can be trusted with unfaithful Israel, we Gentiles can trust Him. Especially considering the New Covenant promises to Israel and the church. Hosea reminds us Gentiles of New Testament certainties in Christ. Hebrews 9:15, “Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.” Philippians 1:6, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

You can only "backslide" if you are under some form of law. You must be on a scale to slide forward and back. Christians are not under the law. God no longer counts our sins against us. When a Christian sins, they can thank God that their sin no longer separates them from Him. Therefore, they can confidently approach God, receiving His grace and mercy which will help identify why they weren't trusting God when they sinned. That is grace, not law.

I always ended up sweetly repenting, getting angry again, and repenting, like a roller coaster. Once I renounced Him, felt that gift leave, repented, and He came back, BUT NOT THIS SECOND TIME, and yet... Before the first time I renounced Him - and meant it - when I ran back to Jesus, I felt the calm, loving thought immediately after I repented, "You're not getting rid of me." So, I say to you, if Jesus does NOT take me back, He lied to me. Told His very first lie EVER... to me. I am sick of this torment! I WILL @#$ing kill myself if Jesus doesn't come back. He's not answering my @#$ing prayers for reassurance I AM NOT hopeless. He is dangling hope of restoration over my head like a carrot. Why? Does Jesus hate and mock me that much? I remember feeling Jesus saying to me, one night, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, you filthy wretch!" "I HATE YOU!" over and over again, until I asked Him to save the torment till after I died, and it stopped. Is THAT proof Jesus OW NO LONGER LOVES ME, that I am reprobate?Unfortunately, God gave me up and gave up on me. Why?

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Jesus doesnt hate us, he still loves us
