Answer 1

Be your own person. Study the Bible and various religions. Make your own decisions about what you choose to belive in (or not).

Answer 2

Yes it is true that only a remnant will be saved.this is something that runs throughout the whole of scripture, but if you look at Romans 11:5 we are told that God has saved a remnant of his people. So when Jesus comes for his own in the rapture, most people WILL be left behind.
So we need to look at what you need to do to be saved.
First of all I see that you are a thinking person and that is good.
The first thing you need to do is recognize the sin in your life and TRULY repent of that, then you need to ask God to fill you with his Holy Spirit. You also at this time need to be reading Gods word. If you use the King James Bible that is the most accurate. Start at Genesis and also read the gospels, that is Matthew, Mark , Luke and John. also you need to be in fellowship with other Christians, so find a good Evangelical church in your area, house churches are often sound churches and the Bible teaching is often better, but check some out.
I would advise that you stay away from the larger denominations like Roman catholic or Church of England, as the Bible tell us that it is only a REMNANT that is to be saved, and that would not be te case if Rcs were saved, so believe the Bible and not people.
Your Dad owning a bar does not help with the people you will be associating with, so get out there and make some good Christian friends, you will most certainly notice a difference.
you probably hear a lot of bad language where you are now, and other things that you don't want to hear, so change your lifestyle and get some new friends.
Spend time in prayer and talking to God, He will hear you and it will make a real difference to your life.

Jeremiah 29: 13 says "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Answer 3

Well you are young. There are lots of things being said that you have yet to hear.
You can't believe something just because someone says it is so. Everyone has to come to their own conclusion. As Ben Franklin once said that we are amazing creatures and are able to devise an answer (or excuse) to just about anything we can think of. You may hear one side of an argument that seems to make real good sense but then there is always another side which will seem to have the opposing argument which is just as good if not better. Ultimately you have to come to your own conclusion. Life is not like school where there are answers that are easy to get at. You will just have to pray for your parents and not believe everything that just sounds good. There is a wealth of information out there in which we all will get tired of searching and deciding what is right and what is true. It all comes down to faith and believe whether christian or athiest or anything else.

Answer 4

You need to slow down and realize that you are only human. You wont be perfected until you go to heaven. While you are here on earth you do the best you can and ask God to help you with the rest. The bible says that it doesn't matter who you parents are or what they do because when you give your life to him he becomes you father and protector. He knows you wont always make the right decisions, but if you listen close he will gently put you back on the path that he has made just for you. It is by your faith that he will supply your every need. Just remember, when you feel alone God says he will never leave you or forsake you.

Answer 5

Im not exactly sure of the Q. If you have excepted Jesus as your personal Savior, then God is constantly pruning, & shaping(when you let Him) into the Christian you need to be. So if you feel like you need to change for the better, then maybe that is God showing you where you need improvement. So you are only 15. What better time to get right with God than right now? He is waiting for you to make your move. But even if your parents aren't the best christian role models, don't let that stop you from being all you can be. There are lots of christians going strong even tho the parents arent. You can be a major wittness to them. I am glad you are concerned about this, it shows growth. Just read your Bible. If you are gong to church - don't quit. If you arent then find one with other christians who you can hang with to help you with your walk with God.

Answer 6

Darlin', I used to be a Christian, and I'm not going to try to get you to stop believing - that's a personal decision, I would never try to force my beliefs on anyone - but I just wanted to let you know that I know what you're going through somewhat. I used to feel like, well, I try, but is that really enough at the end of the day? All my friends at church are so much better than me, I bet they never sin, or if they do it's like no big deal things...

The truth is, everyone makes mistakes, everyone falls, everyone "sins," for lack of a better word, but the Bible tells you that no deed is good enough to get you into Heaven - it is only by believing in Jesus and all he stands for that you will gain entry. If you try your best, and ask for forgiveness when you stumble, that is all God expects you to do - he knows you're only human.

Never let other people make you feel like you are not a good person or that you are not the right kind of Christian, because it is not anyone's business but yours and those who choose to help, not hurt you.

I hope this helps. Have a pleasant day.

Answer 7

Just because your Dad owns a bar doesn't mean you are damned to hell. Owning a bar is like owning any other business. It does not say anywhere in the Bible that you can't drink - but it does say you shouldn't get drunk - there is a difference.
Just because you are 15 doesn't mean you can't start living the way you know you should - you just have to be willing to change. Start going to a church and get into a good youth group - it's important for you to be able to fellowship with people who can lift you up.

Answer 8

The most important thing at this point is to remind yourself everyday that our Father misses you and it's up to you to have a personal relationship with Him, regardless of what your parents lifestyle is. You don't have to 'go' to church, church is not a building. Church happens when there are more than one gathered in Christ's name, and you and Him make two, right?!

Just the fact that you feel soooo strongly about God at 15 years old says a lot to me, and I'm sure to Him. He's your Father, he isn't ever going to turn His back on you when He sees your heart and He does understand that we sometimes go through times where we doubt, fall short and forget to talk to Him.

He still loves you, just remember to stop for a few minutes a day and let Him know you love Him too! :o)

Answer 9

God watches over us all and knows all....just stay strong and know he's there for u....NEVER think he's not there...even in the worst times....I've had hard times too...just keep looking to him and trust me u'll pull threw...no matter what it could be worst..theres a million lil things that God helps u with that u never even no of....be proud and stand for God as he stands for u everyday....Jesus is the only way into heaven my man...the only sin unforgivable is blashemy....God will never give up on u

Answer 10

Friend, I would suggest that you pray to God daily and read your bible daily. Only by having a strong relationhship with God will you be able to stand for him and live a life that honors Jesus.

Also, become involved with your Church, make Christian friends who will build up your faith and share your struggles with you.

Answer 11

I don't think its wrong for your parents to own a bar. Drinking isn't anti Christian. I think so many people are against drinking because if we drink to much it could make us act in un-Christian ways. Even if it were wrong to own a bar the Bible bids us to respect our parents. You are young and have many years to grow and learn. Giving your life over to Christ is something that could take a long time to perfect but as long as we are trying I believe that Jesus accepts us.
