    To all my Christian AKA Buddies...

    Is there redemption after knowing and walking with God only to turn your back and run from Him?


    This question is open to my non Christian friend too>>> I just wanted you to know what it was about before you opened it... Lots of Love!

    Of course there is Jenn. It's a common thing for most of us to ride the rollercoaster. He just's waiting for you to come back, read the story of the prodical's son. I myself have been away from church for a while and went back resently, it was such a great experience to be back to my home church. God is much more forgiving than people are.

    Jenn

    I have been out of church for several years. And I cant go back to my home church. I have been steadily falling from grace. And as I fall I become more jaded. want to distance myself from Him. Ashamed of all that I have done all that I am.

    That doesn't matter to God, it just matters to you, let it go. Read your Bible and pray that's all it takes for a relationship including your faith. When we ask for forgiveness God puts our past sins as far as the East is from the West. He doesn't bring them back up to make you feel guilty.

    Forgive yourself, it's only natural for us to run away from God sometimes. You don't have to go to church, it's just good to have that fellowship.

    Thank you Mel, Jenn's just the sweetest!

    I am not Christian as you know but I am your friend. So because of that and the fact I care about you, I want to say my thing if you don't mind.


    God (IT) never turns from you. When you're ready, you will turn back around again. IT is patient and will wait for you. IT will love you always and will be there when you're ready.

    It is more than I deserve.

    colleen, Hector has been voting me down, then voting me up for something that is perfectly alright. I don't know what game Hector is playing. Today he's quiet.

    IT does not knock you the way you knock yourself. You are in a learning experience right now. I've said it before and I'll repeat it...we learn on our own. (God) does not do our studies for us. You may feel alone but you're not. You will be guided to the answers you seek. You will not be just given the answers. This is your learning experience, this is your chance to grow. Listen and be aware. IT will guide you. Maybe even through use of your friends and their words.

    He's been doing that to a lot of people Eggplant. He said he doesn't realize he's clicking twice and when he does realize it, he corrects it. I'll speak to the admin. Since he's doing it so much and to just about everyone, they may need to take his voting abilities away.

    Jenn, you do not need to hide from (God). You can not hide anyway. Curl up on IT's love and just be for now.
    Jenn

    Colleen this is not the first time you have made me cry... I love you!

    Sigh. I can't get to his profile page to suspend him just to stop him for now. I keep getting internal error. The app is messed up since the "improvements". Send a complaint to the admin. I've already sent them a message about this. Copy and paste all the TU's and TD's if you can.
    Turn around and run back to God!!!
    Jenn

    I love the sentiment, but I really didnt get an answer.
    IamPamela313

    I did answer your question. If you knew God and turned your back on Him, then go back to Him. God knows you better than yourself. :-)
    Jenn

    Thank you.. I was totally obtuse.
    IamPamela313

    It's all good!
    Hey Jenn,I thought we were mates!
    You know I'm no christian but I can say if you get some comfort in going that way go for it.Just don't get depressed.As I understand it redemption is up to you,all you need to do is ask.So cheer up pal,there is hope for you yet!
    Jenn

    Love you Tommy! I didnt mean that my non christian friend couldnt answer just that I didnt want to get into a debate, or offend some ppl who stay away from christian questions.
    Tommyh

    I knew that! I'm just trying to make you smile:)
    Jenn

    We are mates... well in the Aussi way... lol!

    How about us? Are we not your friend?

    Jenn

    You are most definately my friend!!! I just know that some ppl dont want to read Religious questions. I was just giving for warning.
    Jenn do not punish yourself for being HUMAN. We all have beliefs and ideas and ideals and we each handle them in our own way.I have told you before you are the only one of you in the entire world and you and only you can be you.

    You are obviously having a rough time at the moment so I say to you."THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

    My thoughts and love as a fellow human goes out to you and yours.

    I revoked my beliefs and denials because I knew that my childish and pretentious beliefs and denials were fabricated out of all things ancient and old. Like clearing out the attic and cellar those things did not belong in my relationship with God. I would not have fables and nursery rhymes dictate my passage through the years of my life when a real relationship with God is within and is real. God is not a dictator. God does not punish anyone who seeks to know and understand. God sent a very wise teacher to abide within you who teaches in his or her own way…there for you to learn and acquire skills and experiences as you are ready to receive them.  

    Jenn

    robert somtimes I dont quite understand what is goign on in that beautiful mind of yoursbut I do so love your wisdom.. Thank you for sharing.

    JENN WE ARE ALL UNWORTHY AND SAVED BY GRACE AND NOTHING ELSE

    Yes,I think so,frustration and anger,makes turning your back easy,but God is a loving God and is so forgiving,in my eyes if someone is truly a child of God they only take small breathers at times but never really "Walk Away".I know there are times in life I am so stressed out and hurt I forget to give it all to him,and then I remind myself,that I just cant handle it all,Jesus can you hold my hand and walk me through this? It's then only when I can take a deep breath and go to sleep at night.Hope this helps.:/

    Jenn

    Yes.. It helps very much... I am crying because of the love of strangers and the hope of redemtion. Thank you thank you thank you.

    To Jenn! I know it's a little to late for comment,better late than never, I can see that you are having trouble in your life,no matter what anyone say,it wont take the pain away,but you said that you feel unworthy and don't deserve forgiveness. You know it true none of us deserve forgiveness,God gave us a free gift! if we haft to earn it than it wouldn't be free.Hope to be one of your friend.LOL.
