@scienceathiesm I used to not believe in God just as you. And it is true you can be happy without him. But you are happIER with him. There is no reward in being an atheist. However the reward for christianity is something you have to try for your self.
me...I need the courage to talk to my parents about this. I recognize this is an issue with me, and I want help, I want treatment, and most of all I want Jesus to hold me, and just let me know I'm going to be okay. Thank You Ashley Rawls, God Bless You All.
I'm crying right now because this is me. I don't eat. When I do, it's only a few things. When I overeat, I feel guilty, I cry and beat myself up, exercising until I see spots. Hoping that the feeling of guilt will go away. I am so thankful that Ashley Rawls talked about this, especially about Jesus. I am a Christian, and I know that what I am doing is wrong, but I want to just be thin so bad. I know that He loves me, the problem is I don't love myself. That has to change, I'm asking God to help
@glasspaperskyscraper Thank you for sharing. I hope you're doing well right now and that you continue to seek and rely on God. I've realized that we just have to submit our whole self to God daily and ask Him to restore our mind and give us strength, and surrender ourselves that we are willing and ready to be used by Him. Love Jesus and love others and love for yourself will always follow.
i just had a dream that was very scary - I was on a trip and everyone was ignoring me. it reminded me of how I wanted to be like other people while I was growing up - I wanted to be noticed decently. however, there were a few people who hurt me deeply. i had the idea if i was a certain way, looked a certain way, did certain
@looneybineastman (cont) things, then maybe i would get the kind of attention i thought i was craving. i have learned since then it is what is inside and how i bring that out to others, to help reach them for Christ. i am not more powerful than ever and have more joy even during tough times because i now know who i am
@MrBeautifulba1 Its not that God is saying "You either love me or go to hell." Its more the fact that all have fallen short, the only difference is that Jesus has loved us enough to die for us so that we would have a way to spend eternity with Him. Think of it as if you were dangling of a cliff and I had my hand extended to save you. You could take my hand and live or not. Jesus' love is not selfish. Would it be selfish to die in someone else's place because you loved them?
The concept of original sin says otherwise. We did not fall short, God made us that way. I can't for the life of me understand how you are able accept Gods single most vile and immoral act, as a good thing. Its as though God is not content to just let people "find" him, he had to attach the threat.
I hate that fact that many people say Christians or Christ followers are "religious" that would be an oxy moron due to the fact that it was the "religious" leaders that had JESUS crucified. People that debate and argue and waste time debating and arguing about God are people who don't fully know the true meaning of love, emotions, joy and life. All these can not be seen but felt can not be touched but kept in our hearts, minds, and soul.
Wow this is a great testimony! Brought tears to my eyes! She is so pretty now too..without an eating disorder! I'm really happy for her that she got through it..
@guinn2323 I stand corrected with priscilla nicoara, somewhat. She's older granted and speaks another language. But she's still articulate. Brian Welch and Anne Rice are very well known and are very articulate. I just don't understand why the most powerful being in the universe needs a P.R. campaign like this. Maybe if "he'd" answer more prayers we wouldn't have to have celebrities sell us "god".
@MrBeautifulba1 I don't see this as a PR campaign but a testimony to how God has changed very famous people's lives. You can debate the existence of God, but you cannot debate how God has changed someone's life! The purpose of their stories are meant to inspire and encourage -- to provide real life examples that God still changes lives and does answer prayers. Brian Welch prayed one simple prayer - and God made Himself known to him. When you seek Him with ALL your heart you will find Him.
@guinn2323 The BELIEF in god is what changes their lives. If someone BELIEVES that they are empowered by a "god" then those people empower THEMSELVES into greatness. Which is great until they come into contact with the illusion of the reality that they've created. The only people that are connected to the truth are infants. Children are the truth, until they get beaten down by a sick society. P.s. Kill your tv.
@MrBeautifulba1 We know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! John 14:6. Just let him saturate your heart with his pure love. I'm trying to stop with all the theology behind certain things because I want Jesus to just come into my life and pour out his blessings. It's okay to have doubts but I do think that they would put these people on, not to sell God but to give encouragement and inspiration to followers of Christ!
@YahwehtheLORD Which jesus are you talking about ? The catholic jesus, the mormon jesus, the methodist jesus, the baptist jesus, the southern baptist jesus or the TBN jesus ???
@MrBeautifulba1 Yes, there are many different views and beliefs on Jesus Christ but what's his last name? Christ! is it not? I don't want an argument about theology because I said before I was trying to stop it.
@MrBeautifulba1 The Jesus that so loved the world he hung on the cross for it, read a bible for doctrinal prospective. Simply declare Jesus as Lord...I think the GOD Ch has the best coverage of Christianity how it should be.
@MrBeautifulba1 Christ is not immoral. Never. Only "free will" can be. No person is perfect, Christ taught us all that... yet the world portrays an unrealistic demand of scientific cold hard cash, photo-shopped people; and deceitful viral marketing. I know where Chris is pulling his concerned facts... I wonder if he thinks no one else has ever been in his shoes before? This is the year of 2011 (AD), after all. There's too many self political interests, more then most are aware of.
@MrBeautifulba1 I have seen more then my fair share of Christopher Hitchens. I have heard what he has to say. Youtube, News, Seminars, etc.. Look. For those that disagree with religion, I completely understand. There are very few good teachers, which was foretold in The Bible, as a famine. What Chris has uncovered, is the fatal flaw of all mankind, of every race, religion, science, everything. Man is flawed. Life has circumstances. Choices must be made. People can corrupt, & agendas are real.
@MrBeautifulba1 Maybe Chrisitanity is false and immoral.by Christopher Hitchens anyway.But think for yourself.What do you think?It isn't even about christianity.or church.or anything you are supposed to do.It is about Jesus.Always has been always will be. :) Besides.if our God was a man made illusion,we would have made someone who'd let us live in our sins so we could have fun and not have to pay for it.
@MrBeautifulba1 Wouldn't that be wonderful :) But it doesn't work that way.Not everybody can go to Heaven.Even some people who say they are Christians won't go to Heaven.
@mysticalchic What a horrible belief system. I don't understand that. I'm sorry but compulsory love doesn't appeal to me. Basically your telling me that Jesus is telling us,"Love me or go to hell." So, How can that be real love ?? It's like if someone had a gun to your head and commanded you to show love. It's false. That to me is proof that this religion was created by men who want to stay in power and convince their followers not to leave the "flock".
@MrBeautifulba1 Actually, Jesus doesn't command any1.Every1 has free will.They can choose what they want to do.But by denying Christ there are consequences.The real love of this is that Jesus died on the cross for,not just Christians,but every1.Bcus we are all sinners.Y would a human being create some1 else for people to follow?Wouldn't it make more sense to make himself like God so followers wouldn't leave him?If it doesn't appeal to you,then I am sorry I am not explaining it right.Forgive me.
@MrBeautifulba1 it is true love. why because I chose him I said Yes God I am yours. He loves everyone but if they do not choose him it saddens him but true love can not be had if one side does not want true love. Love is a choice and takes two people to make it happen. God wants that true love but only if we are willing
@MrBeautifulba1 It's great to see people we know and look up to because it's a faith booster and trust me! The LORD is doing many things for many people as I am living proof!
@MrBeautifulba1 "Maybe if "he'd" answer more prayers we wouldn't have to have celebrities sell us "god"."
Actually, I believe these videos are God's way to tell us that He answers our prayers. Maybe, if "we'd" just listened to His words easily before and not hardened our hearts, He wouldn't have to use these celebrities. May God's love and mercy continue to be with us. God bless you :)
Recently it's taken a turn for the worst. I stopped fighting against it and came to terms with the fact I'm not strong enough to fight. This video reminded me that I was perhaps right. I am not strong enough to fight. But God is. I have hope to recover now. Thank you, Ashley Rawls.x
@DavieDave59 we will see whose the loser in the end when your going to hell and we receive God's gift of eternal life in heaven. Ashley's story is amazing and God works in amazing and such powerful ways. Oh and I'm praying for you @DavieDave59 ... I hope one day you find the Lord and bring him into your heart because you'll need it. Trust me...and Trust HIM.
perfection is our worst enemy. i am glad that Ashley and others have realized that perfection is not the goal we should be striving for, but a relationship with Christ, the only perfect person to walk on earth.
this is true a lot of girls dream to be like so skinny with no appetite which is bad at the first place. they're obsession in being sexy for them to fit in to the circle.
