- Dear anynomous person
I feel exactly the same as you. Just sit down and reexam yourself. If you want to know if "smoking pot and cigarettes and drinking" makes you dammed. The answer is no, but it is actually determined on your religious affiliation. - absolutely not...just whole heartedly ask for forgiveness....but everything in moderation (which I do the same stuff) I feel is okay. He doesn't judge us as harsh as we judge ourselves and one another.
- even Jesus' disciple Peter denied knowing him when things got rough.
- I can tell you, yes God exists and he will forgive you in the momento you say to Him, I'm sorry, I was wrong... you can change and your life will be better. Accept Jesus as your saviour, remeber He is the life, the path and the truth... GOD LOVES YOU AND HE WILL HELP YOU, HE IS WATCHING YOU WAITING FOR YOU, BLESSINGS!
- No smoking pot and cigarettes and drinking won't damn you to hell. Really, they won't. Relax, we all have major doubts about God. Its part of being human. Keep on praying, learn to be kind and listen to others and learn to forgive others including yourself. Be a good friend and a good parent. I think you are okay.
- no
- just remember that he is waiting for you with open arms... There is nothing you can do to make Him love you less!!!
- No, God wouldn't be a prick like that, if he exists, he'd be the most sympathetic understanding, well,
What am I saying here?
He?
God?
It's all just words that describe an idea.
Why'd I even reply? I don't know anything.
But I do know you're not going to hell.
Well, I don't know it, but you're not okay?
LISTEN TO ME AND BE STUPID!
That's my 1 commandment.
Spread the word.
that's not supposed to be a parody of God or anything.
Okay, my revised one commandment
Just do your best to be nice to both yourself and others wherever possible.
And don't force anything, or anyone. - Seriously? If you don't know if God exists, why aren't you questioning hell?...
- you could stop questioning the existence of God and start questioning your committment to him. He wants to bless our lives abundantly, but if we are putting up roadblocks that is our choice, not His. Sometimes God tests our loyalty to Him by stepping away from us to test our faith. Will we hold steady and be firm and believe when trials come? Or will we in weakness give up? Stand firm and know that He is in control - you are far more valuable than you can possibly grasp. He loves you. Tell him how you feel and get into the Bible and read. He will show you what to do next. In love I tell you - stand firm
- Here have this.......... its nontheism.....its great.
- God sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross for us. why did He have to do that? because He loves us even though we're sinners. we do so many wrong things in our lives that we have no right to go to heaven, BUT the good news is God LOVES US. HE WANTS US TO GO TO HEAVEN. which is why Jesus suffered so much FOR US just to save us from our sins. smoking pot, cigarettes, drinking excessively are things that harm our bodies. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. GOD LOVES YOU even though you sin, but are you going to let your body which Jesus exchanged His life for come to harm? Here's sth which will ans your last qns: Ephesians 2:8-10 "8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." As long as you believe that Jesus is your Saviour, you commit your life into His hand, God will heal you and give you a way out so that you can overcome all these temptations. as long as you're willing to, God WILL HELP YOU. keep the faith, He's always there, even if you cant feel His presence, He'll make a way out for you. i'll be praying for you. :)
- To your question; no. God will meet you where ever you are in life. No one is worthy, but all can be forgiven. How could God do that if God could not except you?
- In my opinion. No. As long as your not a dick, hell I dont goto church but I still try to be a good person and believe in God. Just do your best.
- You don't need god.
You aren't a horrible person for doubting god, there's no solid reason to believe in any god. - It makes you normal.
Find a new God. GODBERRY, KING OF THE JUICE! - Well, I would consider Agnosticism if I were you. You seem to be set on a more logical path of thinking, so go with the "I'll find out when I die" lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with that. And in the meantime, enjoy your vices, but don't get carried away.
- heyy.
i totally went through the same thing and was asking the exact questions. i know it's so hard being in that situation. you feel like you have no control over anything. but i want to encourage you to not give up. the bible says that "if you seek me with all your heart, you will find me". god will meet you if you earnestly seek you. keep yourself in the word, force yourself to be even when you dont want to. surround yourself in his truth. - you will not go to hell for that if you truly feel bad and pray for forgivness but you really should stop smoking.

- Well God says that we should care for our bodies because He lives in us. So doing those things isn't exactly good. Nor is it good for your health. But alcohol is fine in excess, as the Bible says.
- You just have to believe....It's all about faith. Think of something that you need or want and then focus on it and then PRAY and God to do it for you. You just have to trust him and He will come through for you each and everytime. God can't lie nor can He fail. Just try Him for yourself. You don't have to go to hell. Be blessed
- Not being a Christian and not believing in god does not make one a horrible person. Of all the people I've met in my life, some of the most despicable have been the most devout, and some of the kindest and most loving have been atheist.
- Of course not silly!!! Although it is advised to stay away from certain vices. God is most forgiving, the most merciful, focus on worshipping Him alone, this is the most important thing. Your pot smoking is minor. Belief in the One God and smoking pot is better than disbelief in God and not smoking anything. If this is bothering you, pray and let your Lord know that you acknowledge that you have a weakness in this area and may he please help you and forgive you.
- You don't believe in god, you don't believe in hell. Problem solved.
- I suggest you look into the Unitarian Church. Unitarians are very tolerant, and they don't believe in hell, except the kind of hell you create for yourself or others on earth. They believe that everyone has intrinsic worth, and won't think you are "horrible". Give it a try. Look on line under Unitarian Universalists.
- NO it doesent!! just hang in there, life is tough and iv been where you r before. if the HOLY SPRITE does live in you and God haves has forgiven you, "HE will NEVER leave you nor FORSAKE you!" GET back in CHurch!!! and talk to people!!!
- I will tell you to pray, if you have any doubt about God,s existence, he will surely reveal himself to you.I truly feel for you... I see that the enemy has succeeded with the drug use & or alcohol addiction to keep you down, but the good news is you can be set free from this bondage, by simply asking God in the name of jesus to set you free one to one time in your room keep repeating FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN I COME TO YOU AS I AM IN JESUS NAME LOST, BROKEN, CONFUSED. HAVE YOUR WAY IN MY LIFE RESTORE ME,CHANGE MY LIFE. KEEP REPEATING THIS PRAYER OVER AND OVER. you will know for yourself what will happen next.
I thank God in advance for what is about to take place in you life. - yes!
- heres a hint, there isnt a god.
once you die, you simply become a rotting corpse.
and smoking pot isnt blasphemic.
why create an herb not to be put to use? - Don't worry kid...hell is a place you make for yourself. If you don't want to be in it, make sure you feel good instead of bad. God isn't who you think he is, and nobody but you can answer any of those questions. Don't trust people that try to give you answers. Find your own. You'll know they're the right answers when they make you feel happy. (Just remember though...expect the answers to change and grow as you change and grow).
- Do what you think is right, if you don't believe then fuck it.
- Dear 7006,
Of course you can trust in God, we all as humans make mistakes, but some times we take those mistakes to hard and don't forgive ourselves, while God has forgiven us since the beiginning. The best thing that you did is recognize that you made a mistake, so no you can talk to him and tell him your problems and try not to make the same mistake. Everything will be like it was before.
- then just have faith and kill the devil ya demon
- No you are still a child of God he loves you
- The condemnation of smoking and drinking comes from Man, not the word of God. Remember, Christ drank wine. I am a Christian smoker, and have helped a lot of people by sharing a smoke and talking about their life. It has opened doors that nothing else could have (still a bad habit, lol) For that matter, a group of stoned people are open, spiritually and mentally, to new ideas. Talk to them. Forget the fear of hell, remember that Christianity is not 'fire insurance' but rather a responsibility. To love people. To help them. As you fill their lives with joy, so will yours be filled. You have an opportunity to love people that too many Christians ignore. Remember, Jesus loved the drinkers, gamblers, liars and prostitutes; those were the people he sought out. And he never condemned them, just loved them.
- Not if you make an effort to quit and confess your sins.
- My friend. How God wants you to believe Him. He calls everyone to His side. God created us to love Him and come to know Him. Its truly so hard to look at the waves crashing the shore, the trees climbing to the sky, and all the beauty in the world to say there's no God. The reason people are damned is the curse we are born under. The sin thats in this world. No matter what we do, we're not good enough. But the bible says that God makes us good enough through Christ Jesus. Its trusting Him and His sacrifice on the cross that qualifies us for heaven. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He bankrupted Heaven for that time Jesus was on earth to bring you personally to His side. Seek Him and you will find Him. Love in Christ
- If smoking pot and cigarettes damns you to hell then i'll see you there buddy. As for as god i'm a total non believer. Think about what you're being asked to believe hear. Created the earth, stars moon, and universe in 7 days? His "son" turned water into wine, parted the sea and rose from the dead? Come on seriously think about it they say he'll rise again when he's needed the most correct?
Then why didn't he return to stop Hitler (or was he the bullet Hitler fired into his head?). Why didn't he return to stop Saddam Hussein (or was Jesus an american soldier this time round?). And last but certainly not least why hasn't he returned to stop famine and hunger i mean let's face it if he can the 5,000 on a loaf and bit of fish what could he do with all the the food and stuff donated by millions of people around the globe? - No, it doesn't. You're safe
- hell no
- Well, look at it this way... in heaven, there are no drugs, no sex, no drinks and no cigarettes... I think I'd rather be in hell anyway.
- just pray and have faith god has plans for every one okay. and no it doesnt it is up to god to forgive you but he forgives even a bloodred sin and washes it white
- not damned inthe bible these are foreign and not to be used but at the same point many religions use wine whch is alchohal. Some use peyote which is stronger then any pot and as for cigarettes, tobacco is not listed as an unforgivable sin. your faith is something youneed to figure out but these are not sins to send you to eternal damnation.
- so u must ask god for forgiving u hewillll belive me and yes smoking is forbidden so drinking is
- I believe in God, and I really don't necessarily believe most of the Bible. I've read the God Delusion and I get the feeling that even if someone could show me mathematic proof that God doesn't exist, there'd still be an innate aspect of me believing in a Higher being. The Bible is often misinterpreted because part of the rules are for their culture and that time in history, and it's all written by men, hence a lack of female power...and...I thnk that being a good person overrides all other habits.
I don't believe in waiting for marriage for sex, but I don't think this would be a condemning opinion for me to hold. - I hope you read this.
it's ok to doubt and question
it's ok to struggle with your relationship with God
it's good that you are thinking through these things, but you have to press through and seek truth, seek Jesus, seek His voice in this tough struggle
smoking and drinking does not damn you to hell, our decision to replace Jesus with these things causes seperation from God and when we choose to seperate ourselves from God... we choose not to be with Him and when we choose not to be with Him, we choose to be in the place He created where He cannot be... hell.
What is most important is that you seek Jesus!!! and seek Truth!!! - Do you need proof of God? Does one need a torch to find the Sun?
'Basically without the Sun there is no light and without God there is no Life. - Damned to hell? No, but it can make you financially broke, mentally schizophrenic, physically sick while under the illusion of living a perfect life. I know.
- sorry.. but yes.
maybe if you ask for forgiveness he'd turn a blind eye to it.. just as he turn a deaf ear to all your pleads many times before.. God is dead and you killed him.
