There is a plus side to finding salvation though. Eternal life and joy and peace and happiness and strength for the day!!!! These are all promises made categorically by Christ and thoroughly testifiable by me!!!
The funny thing was, I was a Christian, and saved, and all that - I totally had salvation.
But I never felt anything like what you're talking about. I still had all the same fear and doubt and anger and stuff. When I asked and prayed for strength, I received weakness and self-recrimination.
Christ may have promised strength, and you may be testament to that fulfilled promise - but I'm testament to his broken promise. How to resolve this discrepancy? I came to the conclusion that no amount of prayer could give me that which I already didn't have inside me. If you have strength it's because it's in you already, not from Jesus.
Without his love in me, I wouldn't give a scrap about you.
I don't think anybody loves me but the human people who do, and the funny thing is, I don't need God's love to care enough about you to tell you you might be wasting your life with this Chrisitan stuff. At the very least you're cheapening the very good things inside you - because all that strength you think comes from Jesus, really comes from you.
I almost wish I could say that I hope I am wrong about all this, but I can't.
Ouch, looks like you're giving up on us pretty quickly. Truthlover is a Christian, did you know that? Sounds like you've written him off for Hell, though.
