Would you be happy if the whole world became Christian?

I have a hard time with life.

 

[Corn Pop]

I have a real hard time dealing with life. Im a depressed alcohohic.

My family is doing all they can to help me but im too far gone i dont even want to be around them.

I need seriois help. I dont know what to do. Mu Dad said no more drinks and i was going to jump im my car and go leave, but where do i do. Dad give me a place to stay and food until i sort myself out but im just a depressed alchohoic running from anxieties.

Its a nasty circle.

Dan, dear brother, hold on. Cry out to Jesus for help. He will do. You know He loves you.
You are not alone, we all struggle with our weaknesses. Addiction to anything us a big struggle. Have you seen a doctor about your depression? You need someone to talk to that understands what you are going through.
Have you thought about going to AA meetings?
Cling on to your faith in God. Nothing is impossible with God. Think of Him, talk with Him. Love you dear brother, you can come out of this. Praying for you.

i dunno. If Jesus -saved- the whole, wide world today (or...tomorrow, I'm patient...), then things would be -awesome- . thing is...

Maybe if we all accepted that Jesus already DID save the world, then things would be awesome! What does the salvation of Jesus provide you with? What is it you are saved from? Is it not the wrath and judgement of God?

Jesus left some instructions on how we were to live with one another, how we were to treat one another, how we are to forgive one another.

Jesus said judge not lest you be judged, for the manner in which you judge, you shall be judged. Yet in the world today, that is exactly what you see. It's like a spirit of judgement, people feeling empowered to call one another out, to exposed sins of the past, to tear each other apart. People, even here on this board are more interested in arguing over a word or a phrase used in the expression of thought rather than actual thought itself. They would rather judge than listen.

The message of the kingdom was that salvation had come. The message of the cross is that Jesus was crucified to save the world. That deed is done! But the message of the World is that Jesus has not saved us yet, that the world will be saved when Jesus returns. How could Jesus have saved the world from sin if there is so much sin in the world?

Jesus said because of sin, the love of many would wax cold. Is it a test? Are we failing?

If i could obey God i would, but i need Gods grace and mercy through Christ. I cannot live up to Gods expectations. I accept and thank Christ for what he has done for me. That does not mean i dont care about sin, just i cannot live up to Gods standard. If i could then i would not need his grace and mercy. I still need it.

Spiritual battle, i always do what i do not want to do.

That all sounds like Paul's laments while he was still walking in the flesh, (Rom 7:5), before his conversion.
You will note that Rom 7's "problems" were also answered.
Rom 7:23 by Rom 8:2.
Rom 7:24 by Rom 6:6.
We CAN all obey God perfectly, just as Jesus commanded in Matt 5:48.

Im going zero alcohol from today, im not addicted to it but i know it really does not do me any good especially when i have depression and anxiety so im not drinking anymore i can have a coffee or a juice. Im the type that as soon as gets a taste does not want to stop so zero is best.

I have done it before, someone said they dont think i could stop drinking and i said i will do a month and it was easy. But from today im giving up for good.

Thanks for being so honest. I really hope you get some off line help. Some real help. Your family care. You have people who really care about you. Any of us could be in your situation. No one is better than you. God Bless

I got family support and i got a doctor visit coming up. The best thing i can do now is just stop drinking. My family are supporting me so i should show respect back and help myself.

One day I could be in your situation. I have to care. But I want to care anyway.
