Ive been feeling super scared of God lately. Its so scary to think someone created me and hes in some kind of spirutual realm. Ive done a lot of wrong things, i ask for forgiveness but i always mess up.

I cant live peacefully anymore because my mind is always thinking about what happens when i die, im starting to get jealous of atheist who dont have to worry about this, this is so wrong to think and i ask Jesus to forgive me for this tought.

Im also so scared of the book of revelation, i literally cant live a normal life anymore because i keep worrying about this book. I cant understand it, some people say it happened, some say its yet to happen, some say its all in the future, some say were in the middle. Im scared for my family who are unbelievers.

When i say im scared i really mean im scared, my body is literally in tension and shaking all the time, i cant eat anymore because i dont have appetite, i can barely sleep because my toughts keep going.

Someone please give me advice

Im going insane, everyday i wake up with a knot in mt stomache, i cant eat. Im too scared for the world and whats going to happen. Im so scared that im wrong about universalism, im scared of Jesus his return.

My life feels like it has zero purpose, i dont have friends, i cant find a job, i cant function normally. My life is just sitting at home helping my sick mom. I dont have a desire anymore to do anything anymore, whats the point if Jesus returns anyways. I can barely find joy in anything, i want to help and love people but no one wants to hire me, im very bad at communicating, i dont have money to donate. What am i supposed to do

I dont know the day or the hour and it makes me so scared, today could be the day, it could be in 100 years. I cant take it anymore, i cant understand what and how things will happen. Because of my autism i have a desire to know everything beforehand otherwise im paralyzed by fear.

"Perfect love casts out fear" does this mean im doing something wrong? Does God hate me? Did i blaspheme him? Every second im depressed and scared

Yes im looking for help, and i already get help but its not enough, i dont feel comfortable telling my therapist the fear of this.

I dont know what to do anymore, please pray for me and my family

Guys first of im so sorry if i post on here too much and talk about stuff unrelated to CU, but i just really dont have any other place or person to talk to.

The first reason i started studying universalism in the first place was the fear of the end times and my family being sent to hell. And i dont mean that lightly, i was really depressed, i couldnt eat anymore because i worried so much i didnt have appetite anymore, i was constantly crying because of the gut wrenching fear of my family who are unbelievers.

I overcame that fear eventually, but i still struggle because im very new to universalism and christianity in the first place.

But with these earthquakes happening the feeling immediatly came back, just pure dread and fear literally pulling on me. Im so scared of the end times, im scared when reading revelation.

Why am i so scared and how can i overcome this returning fear?!? I know its supposed to be a good thing but i just cant understand it or be at peace with a 7 year tribulation thats supposed to happen at any second.

I dont want to question God because im not worthy to know, but not knowing makes me anxious

Please help me guys, how do you guys handle this situation

When i was studying christianity as a new believer for the past 2/3 years ive watched a handfull of testimonies of NDE's, hell and heaven testimonies, visions, all that stuff.

Now i didnt watch thousands but the i guess hundred of ones i did all roughly described the same things. It had patterns and a certain order how they happened.

And all the heaven and NDE (near death experiences) were so beautiful and made sense to me and also sounded biblical as in seeing a city out of gold, water as clear as crystal, all that sort of stuff. People meeting Jesus in dreams and visions, everyone swears it was real and i couldnt not agree because it made sense how they talked about it.

But heres the problem. The hell testimonies were beyond terrifying, gut wrenching, horrible and made me paralyzed in fear and did a lot of damage to me. But they still made sense to me because it sounded biblical, lake of fire, darkness, weeping like described in the english translated bibles.

Long story short i was so scared of hell and my family going there i basically became depressed, i barely ate anything for a week and lost 6 pounds, had no positive thing to look forward too, didnt want to do anything anymore.

Because of these testimonies, if the good (heaven) testimonies were real that means the bad (hell) testimonies had to be real too. Or they would both be fake.

But i dont belief the heaven testimonies were fake so that ment hell was just as real.

Now here is my theory and i want you guys opinion as well.

All the good testimonies about heaven, seeing Jesus, the visions and NDE's are (mostly) real. I cant deny that God gives people dreams and visions because the bible says so (correct me if im wrong).

BUT as far as im aware the devil can give visions too! Doesnt it make sense the devil gives people horrifying visions of hell to scare people?

But God is aware that the devil is doing this, so would it make sense that God will use the devils visions to bring people closer to him? To use the devils own tactics to bring people back to him? To warn people about hell even tho the visions of hell are not what it actually is? Am i the only one thinking this way? Please correct me if this is heresy or blaspheming.

Would it be realistic that God shows us what hell or heaven is like? I feel like we are not worthy too know but why then are there so many unexplainable visions and dreams of people that claim to have seen it. Are some allowed to actually see visions and dreams of heaven while the hell visions are from the devil?

I would love to hear everyone toughts on this because it is something i struggle with. I know people will scam and lie about these things for attention and views, but the problem is that theres so many people who dont, i cant call them all liars.

And if they all describe the same things doesnt that mean theres some truth behind them all?

Please let me know what you think!

Hi everyone im very new to universalism. Im reading and studying it a lot right now, but for some reason it feels so wrong.

It makes so much sense to me but its so hard to accept, if its true why do so little people belief or talk about it? It feels like im going against what God is saying because the ERV version i read talks about 'eternal' and 'hell'. I dont want to do something wrong and twist the meaning of the bible.

Im so scared im doing something wrong, i wanted to ask a normal question but literally as im writing this im starting to cry, i cant take it anymore, i cant even read my screen because of the tears in my eyes.

I just want to be with Jesus i dont want to live in doubt and fear anymore, im always scared for my family, im scared of the end times. I feel guilty im scared because i know i shouldnt be. Theres so much stories, symbolism, detonations, laws, rules and groups. I cant understand it or make sense of it anymore. I dont know what is right anymore.

I feel so guilty im even questioning what ive been taught, but deep down it doesnt make sense to me, but i can never be sure.

I dont want to question God but why would he allow so many people to belief in the ETC hell, i feel so bad for everyone that fell into the same fear as me. I couldnt eat or sleep thinking about my family going there. Normal life didnt exist for me anymore, just the depressing taught of people going to hell and it wouldve been my fault because i was too scared to tell them about the gospel.

I dont even know what to say or ask, please pray for me. I just want to help and love people but ive been stuck at home forever, no one wants to hire me, i have autism and communicating is hard, im always just alone wondering where it all went wrong, if ill ever have a purpose, if i can ever make God happy, i feel guilty even asking for prayers because so many people need it more then i do.

Sorry for the long read please help me understand

Hi everyone, ive been a christian for 3 years. A very slow journey of understanding the bible coming from an unbeliever who has never been to church from an atheist family.

But the past few weeks ive been looking into universalism, or more so the belief that hell is not what it seems and people wont get tortured eternally.

I came to this conclusion from this website

https://salvationforall.org/index.html

Ive seen no one mention it in any subreddits regarding christianity besides a single comment.

So i wanted to share it with you guys because it supports the idea that i assume universalism beliefs in.

It talks about all the verses that God doesnt want anyone to perish and so on, very intresting but what really hit me was that the word eternal when talking about hell literally doesnt mean eternal in that context and that everytime hell is mentoined its talking about gehena wich is very diffrent then what people think is hell.

I hope more people can read about this because it makes a lot of sense to me and clears up a lot of missconceptions.

I think im gonna post a lot on here because this is so intresting to me, so many people have been taught about the God that tortures people with a never ending fire with no purpose, i truly belief this is the devils work trying to turn people away from God.

I would appreciate more websites/sources/books and stuff where i can learn more about this type of stuff or just comment what you would describe universalism because it does seem everyone has a diffrent view from it?

Hello guys i want to ask if you guys could pray for my family. That they soften their hearts and open up to Jesus. That they may accept him.

I pray with my mom she stops having nightmares or crazy dreams and that she heals from all her pain and chronic disseases

This would mean the world to me if you guys could pray for them. I believe God has a plan for them

Amen and thank you in advance

I just made a post about my situations but this post ties into why im scared.

I have this huge fear of the end times. What is gonna happen? I dont understand.

Theres gonna be a rapture, a tribulation, a second coming?

In what order and what do we need to do, how can i be prepared.

What is the mark of the beast and how do we avoid taking it? People say you cant take it by accident but what does that mean.

You cant take it by accident as you cant take it because it will be clear that it is the mark of the beast or you cant take it by accident as in you literally have to agree to take it?

This leaves me with a huge question.

Im scared of asking this questions because i never want to dount God, or ask him wrong questions, or make him mad.

But i cant handle the tought of so many humans, christians and non christians having to go thru these tribulations and hard times. Im not someone to be mad at God for suffering because i know its a part of life. But when i read half the world will die and have resist the mark of the beast and all these gut wrenching things i get so scared.

I dont want anyone to go thru this and when these things happen im scared people will only hate God more instead of turning to him.

I hate that i have this questions but i just cant understand hell, is it real? Is it forever? I have a hard time believing that its actually real because i dont want anyone to go there, now im scared ill go there for even thinking that.

Please somebody just calm me down

For the past 18 hours ive been going insane. It feels like my brains are on steriods, i cant stop thinking.

The tought of Jesus returning soon and my family not believing in him is making me sick, literally. I started feeling lightheaded like i was about to pass out, i was dizzy and felt like i needed to throw up. And no not from a virus or something, this was all from my own worries.

I want to tell as many people as possible but as someone who is autistic and has trouble speaking its almost impossible. I feel guilty whenever i dont spread his word. But i have no school, job or friends so i dont even have people to tell.

I almost didnt sleep last night because i was scared and nervous, so ofcourse i felt guilty because it could mean i didnt have enough faith.

So i woke up and tried telling my mom about Jesus and i wanted to pray for her but i completly froze and just said a lot of gibberish and she sees religion only as something you seek when you almost die.

So i calmed down for a bit but the feeling keeps returning, i dont feel like doing anything, food is my passion and i look out to cook everyday, eating is my coping mechanism but today i dont even feel like eating at all.

I feel so scared that people are lost and i want to help them but im incappable of helping them all while people who are extroverted and are good at talking dont seem to care all that much. And as im writing it i feel bad because i am now judging those people and i dont want to think highly of myself.

Im so stressed out and im scared Jesus sees me as unfaithfull and then im scared i think that because it means i dont believe his sacrifice was enough. Please help me

Every horn or loud sounds makes me scared and choke up because i think its the trumpet of revelations and that Jesus will come from the sky and my family wont be saved.

Guys please pray for me and family. And pray for all those who are lost. I really need some comforting verses please send them my way
