>Matthew 7:21: Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.Well, shit. That's not going to give you crippling anxiety at night or anything. How can the average zoomer recover from this?
>>536607231Faith without works is dead.You can't just pray, you gotta do stuffAnd yeah doomscrolling and Fortnite don't count. You gotta do good stuff.Like helping people!
>>536607416>Like helping people!What if the people tell you to unpolitey piss off and go mind your own business when you try to help them? How do you help people who do not want to be helped, or who think your help is useless?
>>536607231I don't remember the Mathew being written in english?
>>536607231>>536607416>>536607478There are false gods.It's complicated, but basically the bible is full of devout worshipers of false gods (balim for example).
>>536607416>You can't just pray, you gotta do stuff"Stuff" is dependent on the god that somebody is worshipping. A believer in a false god will attribute their evil deeds to a false god and claim that the "stuff" they are doing is justified in the name of their deity.It's not about praying or doing "stuff", it's about the wisdom to faithfully identify the one true god of the torah given to moses on the mountain.
>>536607231I do not care for jewish fables.
>>536607629I am tired.
>>536607231we don't know the true creators motivation nor his aim. all human made books are blasphemy and your wasting your life away your dumber then jeets
>>536607231Ephesians 2:8-9"8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast."We cannot earn our way into heaven through good works, we are saved by believing the gospel and having our faith put in Christ Romans 10:9-109 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
>>536607231Hey anon, I had a near death experience which converted to me from a hardcore athiest into a Christian.You don't have to worry about anything. Just trust that Jesus will bail you out, John 3:16ect. That verse you're quoting literally just means to "be yourself," it is something I also experienced during the nde. Basically, just be your true and innerself, and don't worry too much about what people think or try to be perfect, helping people etc. If that's not what you feel you were made to do. If you don't know either that is fine , finding out is also what you can do too.
Well then stop being such a shit to the Lord then
If you truly believe G-d will answer your prayers, at night truly faithfully asking him for anything will bring you miracles.Yeah, you can ask him to win the lottery or make you taller.Can attest it works.
>>536607231Damn I totally thought it was like that. I guess I should repent
