I need some help with a question.

Hi Dean
When you wrote "for me since I know I am a worthless person"
I thought maybe i misunderstood what you were saying?
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."[Eph2:10]
Yes we were created spiritually weak, But we are a facinating creation, all of us! Look how well constructed we are....The anatomy is amazing.
Dont be so hard on yourself, All men learn righteousness, every man in his own order. Keep Looking..keep praying, you'll be totally amazed at what God shows you.
Peace
Chris

Lisa,
It has been a pleasure! I believe if this forum ever closed down I would feel as though I lost a family member (or actually several family members.)
As for being "in between things" ... I'm 24, I feel "in between" EVERYTHING!
Hope you had a wonderful 4th also, and 5th, 6th & etc.
God's Peace.
Josh

KAT, that was an excellent and concise summary of our existence in HIM. Thank you, that was very enlightening. :D

Hi Kat,
--- Quote ---I do not believe that the universe was made in vain, there must be a purpose for all those planets. I know that it is grander than our wildest imagination. We have a spectacular future, I just know it.
--- End quote ---
What you said there has stirred my imagination plenty of times too....I know we have little to go on as to exactly what the future will be like for us, in terms of details...like you said, what will be the purpose for all those planets and galaxies???? There is the spirit, invisible world, but there is much that is physical, which holds much fascination, beauty and wonder...like outer space....Perhaps we will be able to enjoy both, the physical and the spiritual combined into one great glory. Who knows. Oh the questions that we simply cannot have answers for yet....but I love what you said, "We have a spectacular future"....so cool!!!!
Peace,
Diana

Thanks you for all of the great responses. Chris, thank you for your encouragement. Right now in my life I feel embarrassed, humbled, humiliated, ashamed, stupid and sometimes feel like crawling into a hole and disappearing. I don't know if anyone else ever felt this way but I feel like a fool and someday I will have to admit to everyone I know that I have been a fool for a long time. I dread that. It will do no good to tell them that I now have found some deeper truth. They will look at me like I am a brainwashed idiot. When I was younger my family once had me kidnapped. I was exploring different ideas and they didn't like it. One day I was sitting in a restaurant talking to these people who had a different religious perspective and suddenly found myself being dragged away and thrown into a car and taken away. My family and friends are very serious people. But, despite all of this I am so glad I now know that hell is not a real place. I will sing praises to God for showing me this truth. I'll be humiliated and humbled but in the end I will know I am right. This is one of the reasons I move so cautiously and carefully. I feel like I am going to have to spend years defending my new beliefs. I will be hounded to the end of the earth about this. The looks of sadness and disappointment. How did the devil win you over. Why have I rejected Jesus Christ? Yes, it is going to be very difficult. Never the less I will not turn back from the course I am on. Truth is too important. Maybe I am a fool but I like to think I am being a fool for Christ.
Sincerely,
Dean
