I've sinned again yesterday by looking up a porn story, one I've read before a long time ago. When I try to do it I had warning signs flashing all accross my brain. I couldn't read it properly. I wonder if its because my mental being is resisting the content or because God wanted me to stop.
I've confessed to the Heavenly father that I have sinned and logged of my account on the Website I tried to read it on among other things.
My mother says the desire to watch porn is perfectly normal and that without lust we wouldn't be able to reproduce. I'm not sure if that's really true. I've learned from various websites, religious or otherwise, that porn does a lot of negative things to your body, your brain, your penis among other things.

For some reason I couldn't sleep for 6 hours.

I feel confused about "What must I do to be Saved"?
I do have quite a bit of confusion about What must I do to be "saved"?
The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have Sinned and Come short of the Glory of God" and in Ecclesiastes 7:20 "For there is not a just man who does good and never sins"1 John 1:8 "If we say we have no sin. We are decieving ourselves and the truth is not in us."
Indeed, I know that even today I have sinned. What was my sin? Pornography I suppose, I still feel the temptation and I don't always succeed. Maybe I should explain it in more detail another time. But most Christians would say its the violation of the Ten Commandments. If you brake one, you brake them all.
Interestingly enough some Christians say we are born with the very first sinner's blood, Adam and therefore you are born to sin. It doesn't matter how good you are, and in my case I don't think I was that good. I have donated and been a well behaved person. But I sinned in a number of ways in my closet.
So what is the consequence of Sin? Romans 6:2 "For the Wages of Sin is death". What I've earned is Death. So what do I do? Continuing from Romans 6:2 "but the gift of God is Eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (a couple of versions call it the Grace of God). So I can't pay my way and its not something I earn its something thats waiting for me.
I've found quite a few "methods" on how to be saved. The problem is that according to one of the providers there is only ONE way to be saved. The First suggestion is to pray and ask for forgiveness.
E.g. Dear Heavenly Father. I have sinned against you and I have broken your laws. I know that I deserve to go to hell. I know that Jesus shed his blood for me and I know he rose again on the third day. Please forgive me of all my sins. Come into my heart and make home with me. Thank you for listening, Amen.
However, to some that is not enough.
The Second method is said on Acts 16:31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be Saved". and John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son; that whosoever believe in him shall not persish but have everlasting life". The problem with this one is that I'm sure that Satan and his fallen angels believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they won't be saved because they have rebelled and will still continue to rebel.
The Third method is get on your knees confess that you are a sinner and repent of your sins by surrendering your heart to Jesus and then get baptised. My problem is that are you listening to Jesus or are you listening to someone who claims to be listening to Jesus? I personally made plenty of prayers asking Jesus and I don't know if I truly change. Baptism is not a sprinkle of water on your head but a full submersion of water. This one is bibilcal and Jesus did infact get Baptised. I just don't know where to go to be baptised. My local church doesn't do this.
The Fourth, and so far final, method is all these things above and follow the Ten Commandments and live the life of Jesus Christ, or Yehoshua. I want to discuss this in another post as I think this is the most difficult part.

I've had a little weep
I've had a little weep. I haven't done one in months despite several things that I know is happening that I know are quite depressing. What did I cry about? It is about the confusion about Hell, I suppose.
Hell to me is a confusing subject. I want to take comfort that Our Heavenly Father promised that there will be no more suffering which is supported by Amazing Facts, World's Last Chance and other Bible studiers.

Hell is mentioned many times, as much as 167 times in the Bible but is really english for three words
Hades
Sheol
Tartarus
Some even say that the doctrine is of pagan origin.
On the other hand there are many people who say that Hell is eternal torment.

Had a Car crash yesterday
I had a car crash yesterday. No injuries and the damage may not be so expensive, hopefully. I've made my claim today and tomorrow I'll be hoping to hear from them soon. This has been my 4th, I believe incident with my car and my confidence in driving has been shaken. I'm planning to take a Pass Plus Test and hopefully I'll be able to avoid any more crashes in the future.
