Re: Hello I am in need of help

Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Press On Soldier !!

Re: Hello I am in need of help

John, What is your experience with God? Are you alone? Or do you live at home? You need to tell us something about yourself, so that we can pray, talk, or know how to help.

Re: Hello I am in need of help

First obvious problem. God didn't call you to be Elijah or Jeremiah. He called you to love people.

Second obvious problem. Your nihilistic view of God isn't going to encourage people to follow a loving God.

Third obvious problem. Work out your own salvation.

Fourth obvious problem. Not focusing on God's mercy and grace instead of the gloom, despair, and agony.

Elijah and Jeremiah did not love people? Nihilistic, how? Am I not working out my own salvation?

Re: Hello I am in need of help

Friend, instead of comparing yourselves to men who lived under the law, learn about your place in God's kingdom in the New Covenant. Jesus said of John the Baptist that there was no greater prophet than him, BUT also, that he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist (a prophet under the Old Covenant) was.
I believe that if you could properly focus your attention on developing your relationship with Jesus, the angst that you describe here would solve itself
