So I was not raised with any religion, from a young age I was impressionable enough to be lead down a path of sin. Yet I was lucky enough recently to have a gentleman reach out to me and talk to me about the path of salvation. I've had to think for a bit to reflect on the sins I have committed. Finding this forum has been eye opening. It is clear that many here are wise and truly know the word of God and the path of salvation.I read what some people say and my heart leaps out towards it confirming that it is the truth and that which I had been seeking.
I find Ecclesiasties is my favourite book because it describes exactly how I saw the world until I learned about salvation through Jesus Christ.
Here's to hoping I can learn from the wise and learned people here.

Ecclesiastes is a wonderful book, I'm glad you chose that one. Often we fail to see the sin in our own lives, but you have recognised the need for Redemption and I trust you will find the guidance you're looking for here. Welcome to the forum.

Hello and to our forum! I look forward to reading more of your contributions. There are so many great verses in Ecclesiastes that we can discuss!

Do you have a most favorite verse in this book? I think one of my favorites is the one that too much study is bad for your health, and you don't need it anyway since all God wants is just to follow His Commandments (instead of worrying about such irrelevant stuff as medicine, astronomy, chemistry, physics, etc):

Ecclesiastes 12:12-13
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

[Mary Etheldreda]

Welcome! It's nice to "meet" you! Tell us a bit about yourself since Christ found you and scooped you up out of the dark, dismal reality that is atheism! How do you best like to rebuke sinners, now that you know the need to warn people they will suffer and eternity of Damnation if they continue to ignore giving the LORD due attention?

[crazyjack13]

Although I am also relatively new to the Salvation of the all-knowing, all-gracious Lord, I think it's appropriate for me to also welcome you into our forums, as you have welcomed Jesus into your heart.

[Cranky Old Man]

Welcome to God's favorite forum!

Do you have your husband's permission to waste time on this website instead of rubbing his feet?

[Lost_Girl_Seeking]

So I only discovered the Lord a few years ago and I've been doing my best to make up for my Godless upbringing. With some hindsight I'm glad I didn't go down the path so many promiscuous young teens do. Now in my 20's I do not fear giving away my virginity to anyone but a husband. Though currently I am both single and not married which carries with it its own challenges, namely I feel tempted to masturbate. I've read that some women here have used chastity belts to control themselves.
I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice in this regard?

[Joanna Lytton-Vasey]

Well, that is a very poor introduction. The instructions at the top of the page are there for a reason: "Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus."As to the rest, this site is Blessed with a very comprehensive search function. I suggest you use it. Oh, and you might want to explain what, exactly, you mean by this, which looks somewhat like a tautology:

Welcome to the forum, young lady.

If you're struggling with sexual urges, you really should get married as soon as possible. God created the institution of marriage not for love or procreation but to prevent people from masturbating and committing other sexual sins, because he knew those He created in His image wouldn't be able to control themselves.

1 Cor 7:1-5
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

While you are waiting for your father to find you a suitable husband, bear in mind that resisting temptation is a condition of your salvation.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Take courage that God will never allow you to be tempted above what you can bear.

1 Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Please be aware that by God's standard, what you are "able to bear" may include blood loss -- your own.

Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

God is very sympathetic, as He understands our weaknesses and limits better than we do (Heb 4:15).

Now please introduce yourself properly and tell us what church you go to, what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

[Faith_Machine]

Please send me your phone number and street address. You need urgent help, lest you be led farther astray!

[James Hutchins]

Ugh, another harlot tossing her leg over the bannister to see if she can catch a fly.
Why do these idiots come on a CHRISTAN website, refuse the read the FAQs and wonder why we could care less about them. They simply fail to realize........ wait for it........ they have demonstrated they could care less about us and like little babies, want to be the center of the universe and have us answer a question when we know them from, well, Adam.



Excuse my frustration (that mostly means you Jesus) but after a time, a man needs to have a release from all the pent up energy. Perhaps I need to spend some alone time with The Good Book.

Hello and back to our forum after a year of absence! I decided to join both of your threads into a single one, and I do hope we won't have to wait another year for a third post?

Well quite, Sister. Perhaps this young lady "self-identifies" as autosexual, which appears to be this week's mental illness of choice?

You would think that at least could be kept somewhat under wraps. Announcing to a group of people one has just met that they compulsively jam lengthy plastic figurines, power tools, and wriggly rodents up one's coochy mama is a shocking turn of social values! Women just didn't make these kinds of entries when W Bush was our fearless leader!

[BibleReader2231]

Where are the parents? Why is this young lady allowed to broadcast her fiendish behaviors (much less act on them)? This young lady needs her parents notified. Absolutely disgusting. I get she’s in her 20s but obviously she needs an authority figure and fast to straighten out this young lady.

Is that one of those people that 'integrates' with a car? If I found some whore mounting my whale tail, I'd be mighty livid.


You know what is wrong with kids today? Not enough God in their lives. All these children need to spend a few hours every day in Church, thanking Jesus for not smoting them instead of snapchatting their gyro.
If it was not for Jesus, where would they be? Certainly not diddling banjo, that is for sure!
Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

You make an excellent point Miss Joanna. Perhaps her ignorance of godly knowledge has also contributed to her ignorance of her own age.

Indeed. I don't think that's what God had in mind when he said we must be slow to speak. That would be taking things to a whole new level.

Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
