one thing ask Jesus into your heart and ask Him to forgive you of your sins. if you have not done so already. also ask Jesus to save you and to help you to be a good christian and live for Him. Don't worry what others think. Its what Jesus thinks that really important. if you loose friends because you are saved . then just pray for them and know that they were not your true friends anyway. Jesus loves you and He is always with you. Pray when you feel like this. i will pray for you! you are never alone Jesus is always there! God bless you

Hello!
If you have Asked Jesus to Come into your Heart and Save you (while Believing Who HE (Jesus) Said HE was), you are Born-Again, you are Saved.
The Apostle Paul Said that WE (all Born-Agains, The Church [Body of Christ]) Will be Changed in a Twinkling of an Eye--about 7/10's of a second.
And Taken to Heaven.
Did you know that WE will be Back in 7 Years?
Yes, we will !
Did you know that Millions of People will get Born-Again AFTER the Rapture (when we leave)?
Yes, they will !
Yes there will be wars and Rumour of Wars and it will get Very Dark Spiritually on the Earth BUT IT WILL NOT last for more than 7 years with the last 3 1/2 years the Worst.
Then, JESUS is comning back to TAKE OVER.
And, WE are going to Help!
Keep on Believing and over come that Fear that satan is hitting you with.
If satan tells you something, relax,it probably isn't true-- he is the Father of all Lies.
Resist Fear.
There are some good Teaching CD's (christian) out there to Over Come Fear.
Kenneth Copeland Ministry
Fort Worth Texas
Fear is from the devil. Resist it in all forms.
Fear has Torment.
There is enough of that going around!
Resist the devil and he will Flee!
Get you some Happy Thoughts and Learn How to Fly!!!
With Jesus!!!
Jesus is Lord.
Dit==============to!

You know what? I felt sorry for you, as you're so young and it's a lousy time to be coming to terms with the big bad world. And then I looked at your questions, and I don't really think I can keep feeling that sorry for you any more.
You have been browbeaten by bullying Christians, which is not your fault, but your response has been to find ways by which you can pass that bullying and spite onto others, which IS your fault. You tell unbelievers they will go to hell, which is hateful. You tell people that the clitoris is for "having babies", which shows your ignorance of your own biology and a deep neurosis about pleasure. You are concerned that you are too self-conscious in public. You have self esteem issues, and you seek some external bogeyman to project it onto. You need to stop doing this.
It's no use me telling you that the rapture is non-biblical nonsense, and even less use telling you, as I believe on very strong grounds, that there is no god and that this one and only life is our one chance to do anything good in the world. You can only come to that conclusion when it gives you more than the beliefs you have. But what is obvious is that those beliefs give you little happiness. You are riddled with guilt, and hate, and self-hate. Some religion.
Perhaps you don't "live right" because you are following your instincts rather than the teachings of an ancient and useless doctrine. Ask yourself, is your "living" doing any harm to anyone? Don't flatter yourself you can harm god. Are you harming anyone? If so, stop. If not, why should you not do what you are doing? And if that's possible, what use is your religion in your life? Aren't you showing yourself that you're capable, at 14, of finding your own path without doing any damage?
If only religions, particularly yours, could say the same. Think about your life, don't follow orders. You could be a better religion to yourself than Christianity has been to you.
===
Gabrielle, we are not you. We haven't FORGOTTEN who made us. We just aren't remotely convinced that that ridiculous story has any credibility. The fact you are is irrelevant.
Ultimately, you can believe whatever you damn well want. You think your happiness matters to me? Not one bit. Seal yourself into illogical misery for the rest of your life for all I care. YOU decide what makes you happy. If you think that Christianity and god are what brings you happiness you must think the rest of us are a lot more miserable than you. But from where I'm sitting, it doesn't look like that at all.

Well fortunately for you, the Rapture is complete make-believe. There is no scripture in the Bible which makes any mention of the Rapture and much of what Christians believe about it comes from the teachings of a British pastor from the early 19th century. There is no proof whatsoever that the Rapture will happen, so don't worry about it. If the end of times comes like the Bible says it will, then we will all have to face what comes and nobody will be exempt from it's tribulations.

If you in yourself know you're saved by accepting Jesus in your life, then nothing should be so doubtful that you'd be left behind when the rapture comes. Be confident that you will be also be taken by the Lord together with the rest Christians. Unless you still have something that you still cannot surrender to Him that is making you feel the guilt within.

Go read 1st John 4...
The whole rapture thing is good for selling book and movies, it isn't well supported in the scriptures. And if you know you don't live right, what are you supposed to do about it? Repent, and ask G-d to help you change.

Jesus loves you!!! Do not be afraid!! Right now make the initiative to live the best life you can! Jesus understands as he was here on the earth. Talk to your religious leader or parents...this is nothing to be ashamed of...this is probably just a fear that stemmed from the preaching of an irresponsible preacher! "Be still and know that I am God" (Bible can't remember verse)

The only person who can help in your situation is yourself. As only you can change the way you are living.
Stop, take a deep breath, calm... relax...
What is it in your life you are doing that so scares you? Once you narrow it down to this, change those actions. If you can alter the bad behavior to better yourself then I don't think you will have to worry so much about what will happen when if any rapture takes place.

Don't worry. The rapture is just a climax in a fictional story. It will never happen in real life. If you want to be scared of catastrophes, nuclear war and global warming are probably much more imminent threats.

Turn to God in everything you do. Believe that Jesus died for your sins, and love him for that.
If you don't have total faith, there are 300+ prophesies of the Old Testament that were fufilled in the New Testament, if you want to look them up, just type it in a search engine, they're real easy to find.
Good Luck, and God Bless.
