Mopom, you've definately come to the right site! I'm excited for your interest in this topic, as it is an interesting one. actually, i want to suggest something to you that i took at my church that REALLY helped me out ALOT. if you can get your church to try it out i'm sure ALOT of your questions will be answered and they will be answered in a way that won't make you afraid of it. There's a bible study on the Book of Daniel which deals with two topics: purity and prophecy. Daniel dealt with both, and there's alot in that study that has to do with the end of times (in fact, she explains all of it, so you'll know alot more than than you probably would know if you just looked around at this confusing websites where they really don't break it down for you. the study is done by Beth Moore. check out this site to find out more about it:

Good luck and God Bless!

You will go to heaven, but my concern for you is to stay away from the agnostic forum site.
It reminds me of the story of Lot. Lot was a Christian, but he went to live in Sodom. He was there long enough that it started to take a toll on his faith.
Run away from that site and take refuge here!

We all have pasts that are deserving of wrath. But through Christ we are able to shed the old flesh, die daily and are now able to approach the LORD.

Grace and Peace-

Overcoming fear thru faith in Christ will cause your spirit to soar- view all fear and trouble as an opportunity to trust God.

1 Peter 2:17

I fear God. I want to make Him happy with me.

Psalms 23:4

But I won't fear evil. Since I've asked Christ into my heart, it has no power over me.

The devil can't take my joy, and that makes him terribly angry.

Mopom,

Bless you sister for coming on here and telling us your story. I know it must be hard, as revealing such personal struggle can leave you feeling vulnerable. I am in agreement with everybody on this forum that you should stay away from the site you were involved with. It takes a person who is very strong and mature in their faith, very deep in the Word, and constantly in prayer to take on the task of trying to reach the lost on that forum. Even then, they should not try to do so alone. Do not let their lies and godlessness take it's toll on your heart any longer. I have a secret I must share with you that you may not have thought of before. It is a true kicker that the devil himself cannot deny. The mere existence of Satan should ease the worries of doubt in your heart. After all, Satan cannot exist if God didn't make him. Even more so, Satan would not hate you as a Christian so much and try to drag you down if Christ had not died for your sins. If your message to the Satanists and atheists was false, Satan would have no need to try to win you over or attack you. After all, who tries to fight somebody for no reason? While troubling that Satan attacks us, the fact that he does attack us is an encouraging thought. Satan attacks you because you love God, and that scares him. Satan knows that he is no match for God, or for someone who is very close to God. That's why he must deceive and keep your focus off of God. That's his way in. Surround yourself with the Word of the Lord. Pray my sister. Fellowship with other Christians, whether it be on the internet or not. The closer you get to God, the harder time Satan will have trying to get to you.

Hello Sister
I've read you're post and wanted to respond.
I noticed that you are very young so I want to tread gently here with you. First of all GET AWAY from atheists and agnostics. You will lose your faith if you continue to spend time there. Do you know that 75% of Christians kids who enter secular colleges lose their faith entirely. As Christians we are asked to integrate with the world for the purpose of preaching to them the gospel, so we cannot avoid that. However, we cannot have fellowship with them because they hate God. They aren't consciously aware that they hate him but they do. Light cannot have fellowship with darkness(2 Corinthians 6:14-15). Remove yourself from that group now or you'll lose your faith, I guarantee it.
Fear of hell is actually good. You should be afraid of hell, as I am also. I've written on hell before and nothing concieved in any sanitarium or state of delerium could equal the unspeakable horrors which comprise the biblical hell. The most fearless of men, the strongest, fiercest of mankind will be petrified beyond comprehension after they've spent three seconds in this place. Satan himself will grovel and beg for mercy after he is pitched into the lake of fire.
Fear of God is good---the bible even says so. I'm very afraid of God, for which I am thankful.
However, to worry continously day after day if you're going to end up dropped into this place is not natural nor is it very healthy. Struggling with sin isn't something that's confined strictly to a select few believers. Everybody struggles with sin in various forms, in various situtations. Struggling with sin isn't evidence you are lost. Blatant, unremorseful, unihibited, gleeful, habitual sin day after day after day, without the slightest concern for obeying Jesus Christ---is evidence you are lost.
I'm not going to address armageddon because I don't feel that's important. I'm concerned about your salvation. I'm concerned for your soul and want to help.
I don't know if you are saved or not because you are so young still, and your profile states that you were saved at two. Nobody gets saved at two. You cannot accept Christ at two years of age. I do not know if you were born into a family which professes Christianity but perhaps somebody told you that you were born again because your parents are Christians. Nobody is born into Christianity in the natural realm----you are born again spiritually, meaning that God does a fantastic and undeniable change in your heart. Paul the apostle said:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
That is what is meant by born again. Your old self is crucified by Christ's blood and you are born all over again. I'm sure you already understand that though.
How do you know you are saved? Don't listen to preachers, don't listen friends, don't listen to family, don't listen to me, and don't even listen to other Christians. Christians can tell you if they believe you to be saved, but they can't know for sure. I do not know for sure if you are saved due to the fact that everyone and his dog calls themselves Christian these days.
The bible---that is where you go. 1 John chapters 1 and 2 are the tests of assurance for Christian faith. There are a series of tests in this book which will tell a person whether they are saved or not. I wrote an article not too long ago titled "Examine yourself", which goes through in detail the steps of 1 John and what exactly they are. If you ever want to read it I'd be happy to e-mail it to you. My e-mail is Creationtruth@hotmail.com
Throw away "The message" and get a bible. The message is an atrocious butchery of God's word which belongs in the garbage.
I encourage you to get into 1 John and see where you are. God loves you and so do we. I wanted to be frank and straight with you sister because that's what Christian love is---truth.
God Bless You
