Okay um I'm kind of depressed. I don't have any strong convictions about god. Like I've grown up Christian, but I just don't feel close to God, but then I don't want to reject God. I don't want to read the Bible or talk to God anymore. The more I think about it, the more the whole God thing doesn't make sense. I hear other kids who say stuff about why God isn't real blah blah blah and I think hey that made sense. I don't want to go to hell, but then I feel idk. I just don't know what to think.
 
Young lady. you are young, and I am not discriminating your age because there are kids who are geniuses at a younger age than yours. But I'm very sure you lack understanding of who God really is. God is the all powerful creator of the universe, whom science tries take out of the picture by saying that all creation came out of nowhere and that all things seen happened through billion of billions of accidents. A wristwatch has a design, and not just a design but also need certain knowledge to be built. What has a more complex design, a watch or the universe? God designed the universe. The bible, which is the faultless word of God shows within it's content that God knows the past, present and future through prophecy. God showed the whole world that He loves us by sending His only begotten son to die for all humanity. The existence, crucification, and raising from the dead of Jesus Christ cannot be argued. They happened and there are many sources that say so, including those of non Christians. Another very trustworthy (and i think the most important one) is that in the year 64 A.D. there was an emperor called Nero who tortured and killed Christians. Jesus died at about 33 A.D. so these Christians were the ones who saw Him and who were preached to by His disciples. Everything I just said can't be argued, many have tried to get rid of the bible through science and through saying that it is full or errors, but scholars have said it is 99% accurate in its translation and that the 1% or errors it has doesn't really change the overall meaning of the bible because they are minor errors in spelling and such. The God we worship is Holy, He is alive, He is king of kings and Lord of lords, He knows us better than we know ourselves and loves us more than anyone could ever love us or understand how much He really loves us. There is nothing that can be hidden from Him, no thought of your head, no feeling of your heart can be hidden.

Now about your depression, if it is based on the fact that you are lacking the attention from a person or a possession remember that nothing and no one is perfect and that sooner or later things and people will leave us unsatisfied. If someone is doing wrong to you remember again that no one is perfect and that in this world there are people who enjoy hurting others, but remember that God will judge the whole world so that any evil that is done against anyone will not go unnoticed. Our duty is to forgive those who sin against us and love God with all of our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.
 
Those non christian sources of you'res ? Mention him breifly as a teacher and healer. And there is no way of knowing how accurately translated the bible is.
 
The healing power of His name show Him as the true living and healing God, the name to which all knees will bow and all tongues confess that He is Lord.
 
whenever people test my faith it makes me sad, because though I'm older then you I still question myself, but I found that if I pray and ask God to help me instead of trying to do it on my own strength and understanding it all works out. I've seen it happen when I would be at a total lost about something I would pray and give it to God then a person will randomly call and offer me a solution to the problem. It takes faith and a close and personal relationship with God.

Remember God made you and loves you. Here is a song that helps me sometimes when i'm down. :)

YouTube - God's love letter
 
I will pray for you too. I went through a phase like that last year. I almost rejected Jesus. However I eventually got through it, and my faith became stronger. Don't be afraid to post doubts on this site. People will be extremely happy to answer your questions. God bless you.
 
Well God makes sense except to those who perish (1Cor1:18). So think about it, it's only normal for *THE OTHER KIDS* to say God does not exist. I'll keep praying for you, but u must be determined to hold strong to ur faith.. Talk to some1 if necessary.

MAY GOD HELP YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.. GOD BLESS!
 
Hey... just with the god thing not making sense. Search it out, through all my searching christianity is the only thing that makes sense. :) Look up some historical Jesus stuff, some incredible things that happened.

If you don't believe, then don't believe. If you dont believe in hell, you don't have to fear hell.
