I’m going to hell, Jesus said so

[Jven79]

I’ve caused people to sin. I’ve repented, but the truth is, from the mouth of Jesus himself, that I deserve to have a millstone tied around my neck and drowned into the depth of the sea than to cause someone to sin.

I have become very severely depressed that I did this. I’ve just recently become depressed actually, even though I’ve caused people to sin before I became a believer. I’ve lost my career because I can’t live with myself instead I live in guilt 24/7.

I often think of suicide now. I would never do it, but I do think about it, if that makes any sense.

I guess the reason for this thread is for some encouragement on how I can move on in life knowing that I’ll spend eternity in hell.

Well can we examine this on a case by case basis? Are you willing to confess and write to us what happened? Then we may have more understanding of your situation that we may give you more wisdom specifically for you and your issues..

I also feel like I'm going to hell a lot. The Bible does say, though, that if you repent God will be sure to forgive you. So maybe if you repent God will forgive you! I'm trying to repent myself. I hear voices in my head, some good and some bad. The bad voice tells me that I'm just too bad. Hopefully it isn't true though.

Try to find some good in life. Remember that the devil is a liar. He just wants people to feel like they are going to hell and there is no way out.

I pray that you will feel better, man. Maybe you don't have to go to hell forever.

Let God be the judge. Repent of your sins and he will forgive you.

Unless you have rejected the Hoy Spirit and are still breathing your are not lost.

Anthony Cribbs I can’t go into detail, let’s just say I’ve caused someone to walk away from the faith. This was before I was a believer myself. This person is no longer in my life it was from childhood and I have no way of reaching out to them.

They were probably never saved to begin with when that happened!

Let me ask you now...

Why are YOU a Christian?

 

[ewq1938]

Have fervent charity:


1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

I became a Christian because I realized what I did was so horrible, and I thought the blood of Jesus could save me. However I didn’t realize at the time that I deserved to have a millstone tied around my neck.

Were you saved?

Multitude is a large number, it is not infinite

 

[Jven79]

Were you saved?

I thought I was, until I came across this scripture

When we repent of our sin, the guilt evaporates.

 

[Jven79]

Why did you THINK you were?

I thought I was because I thought Jesus died for my sins

Hasn’t evaporated for me though

 

[SnowTiger]

I pray that you will be able to feel better. I know you are really feeling down, but I hope that God will intervene and you will start to feel better. I really struggle with depression myself. A lot of times I feel like I committed the unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the holy ghost). So I feel hopeless too.

But many people have tried to help me nonetheless. They want to help you feel better too.

 

[Valetic]

I thought I was because I thought Jesus died for my sins

Well DID HE?

 

[Jven79]

Well DID HE?

Apparently not that one if he said it’s better for me to drown in the sea to do what I did

Nope, that doesn't disqualify you. You are being tricked into feeling guilty. Please forgive yourself. They were never really "of the faith" if they walked away because of something or someone in this world. And, how do you know that they didn't need that "falling away" from his or her fake faith to find the real faith? You may be beating yourself up and that person may actually be fine.

Please realize that anything you did before you came to the faith is forgiven--if you have asked God for His forgiveness. The only thing that Jesus said you couldn't be forgiven for would be "blaspheming the Holy Spirit" which isn't what you did.

May God bless you to see the Truth and stop letting the devil put you in a fake funk!

But Jesus said this after he mentions the unforgivable sin. It’s like he changed his mind if he felt the need to say this
