Am I evil?

[RustyAngeL]

According to Scripture there in no one that is righteous. When you come to Christ the enemy will try and stop you but he only has as much power as you give him. Tell the devil to leave you in the name of Jesus then call of Christ. Ask Him to come into your heart then get into the word and stay there.

'childhood' or 'youth' is not the same as 'birth.'

So, you mean that somewhere between infancy and childhood, there is a point at which evil suddenly sets in?

No, you are not evil, as long as you have a problem with the way you are. Which is in fact evil. You sound a lot like I used to be, although I was insane in many ways at the time as well, so I won't relate perfectly, but I did pass the point you describe.

I can only suggest that you hang on and struggle to do the impossible and both survive and do as little killing as possible. God knows what you're going through, so try not to feel too frustrated by the lack of communications. I myself have been said to have very little heart left for Jesus to inhabit like most people, or something like that so don't worry about it. Just try as hard as you can to be with God and Jesus, thats what I do.

Well, as you can see by my screen name, I have to wonder if I am truly an evil individual? I joined this forum tonight, shamefully enough because the full moon is out and I was thinking of evil acts. Since I am on this forum, I already feel it's affect: I am expressing my feelings in the hope of spiritual advice from the Lord Jesus Christ.

To start with, the holiday season has been tough on me. It has been very depressing to see so many people exchange gifts without exchanging the love In fact, I had to refrain from going to Wal-Mart because of the Salvation Army people with their bell-ringing helpers. I exited a store and just wanted to strangle the person ringing the bell or stab her in the neck with my buck-knife. I felt all of the anger and blood flow to my teeth and neck. Of course, I didn't do anything. I just walked to my truck. BUT the thought was there. AND right before Christmas! I feel that I have a cold heart made of black coal and that I am no good. These criminal thoughts are surely tools of the devil I really just want to cry or eliminate myself from this planet

What should I do? I deeply want Jesus Christ in my life, but can the Devil block him from entering the genorosity of my heart? I am really in dispair.

Right now, life is not a friend of mine

The bible tells us to: Submit ourselves to God, resist the devil and he shall flee. You resisted the devil when you didn't carry out the deed. You have conviction enough to know that is wrong.

Once you make up your mind to serve him, no demon in hell will be about to stop you!

All you have to do is repent of all your sins (now and the past) and

according to Romans 10:9-10: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

So, by faith, receive Jesus as your savior.

When you have thoughts (as we all do) these are like seeds sometimes from the devil or sometimes from our own hearts- but we don't have to let them grow up into something that will manifest that thing in our life, like killing someone or any other thing that comes up. Kill that seed out and don't worry.

We must allow Lord Jesus to be Lord over all areas of our life. God can't help us though in our thought life, we must take all thoughts captive.

click here---Taking thoughts captive seems like this could help you. But first you must belong to Christ to get the benefits of being a child of His.

Once your saved doesn't mean that your thoughts automatically are in alignment with Christs, now it is time to "Put on the Mind of Christ", allowing the word of God to transform your thinking. Allowing Jesus and the Word of God first place in all areas of your life. The Holy Spirit will help you with this, just ask him as you set down to the word of God. Your spirit is nourished/fed by the word of God, just as you body is nourished/fed with food, your spirit needs this to grow, otherwise, we remain in a baby christian state and never really come into the fullness of what God has prepared for us.

On my signature line you can find the message "who you are in Christ" that is a good area to start with, to truely know who God says you are to him. Meditate on these-they are life to you. A good place to start reading the bible is in St John. Prior to reading pray to God, by asking the Holy Spirt (his spirit) to help you to understand the words that are written there and that you would be nourished and God would open your eyes.

A great biblical prayer is inEphesians 1:15-23 and Ephesians 3:14-30

Ephesians 1:15-23- Biblegateway.com

Ephesians 3:14-30 (biblegateway.com)

You can pray the above and place your name where the "you". If you want serious growth-these prayers are awesome.

But remember- it takes time to grow spiritually as it does take time to grow physically. Trust in God and rely on Jesus as your shepherd.

'childhood' or 'youth' is not the same as 'birth.'

No that is not what I meant. God cannot be evil therefore He did not create any of us including Adam and Eve evil in nature. How is this so? Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Therefore once Adam sinned, they received the knowledge of good and evil but their nature was not change to good or evil just because Adam via sin ate from that tree. Equaly had they eaten from the tree of life their natures would not have changed to life. God created the human (both male and female) in His image (which can have nothing ever to do with evil) and that image we are BORN in still to this very day. We are not born then, evil.

Sin is evil and we are all born in sin. Adam and Eve saw to that. We now are all born with the curse of sin on us because of the Fall. No one is good, even babies.

Yes, sin is an evil act born out of an inclination of the heart of the flesh not the image of God. I agree sin it is an act against God himself. Adam broke God's command thereby sinning (without the knowledge of good and evi) by eating of the tree which he was specificaly commanded not to do so.

None is born with the curse of sin though evil of the heart would be our inclination and this is especialy so since in Christ none have to sin, by choice, and by strentgh in Christ can overcome temptation. Beisdes, the flesh is weak and we were not created perfect.

Christ is 'bigger' than the knowledge we receive through Adam, which is that of good and evil.

I disagree. We are born sinful because of the disease of sin we inherited through the Fall. I know God's creation was good, but it is now tainted. Jesus is the only answer for a correction in that department. Each human being born will have to come to Christ on his/her own...as they are bound to sin--it is inevitable based on the change in us since Eden. That is the message of the Word of God.

I am not sure why no one else on here has had the sense to tell you this, but if you have thoughts of hurting yourself or others, then you need to seek some professional help. You definitely need to pray, and I know that everyone on here will pray for you, but I implore you to seek some professional help. This very well could be some form of schizophrenia or another disorder like it. If that is the case, then doctors can certainly help you.

I know you don
