Bump i want to be saved
John. First time I read it, it was very surreal.
King James Version* John
Stop making low-effort tradlarp threads. The only thing you saved is your virginity.
dantes inferno
paradise lost
american psycho
clockwork orange
i have no mouth yet i must scream
maybe some textbooks on ancient pagan deities specifically aztec or canaanite ones
started as a troll post desu im not even christian but if you rlly wanted someone to gain spiritual insight, for me, coming face to face with true evil convinced me of the logical need for true good to exist as an opposing force as the laws of nature demand must exist, which leads to the conclusion of good and evil forces in the universe
but if were being real you wont learn about true evil from an edgy book
Why do you have to click on threads that specifically dont want your input? Are you like this irl?
>filename says pagan
>picture says atheist
>i didnt claim to be either in post
christfags confirmed shillbots lmao
Most of my friends and family are religious so there's no need
My parents don't read and are militant atheists who hate my religious beliefs, not much can be done
All of Grace by Charles Spurgeon
Why are you gloating about suicide? These aren't people with"flying spaghetti monster says trans rights!" bumpe stickers who kill themselves because they watched Rick and Morty, they're lost souls going through a crisis because they don't know the joy of God. You're a degenerate LARPing autist.
I have this book and it sucks. 50 2 page chapters of schizo nonsense, no exegesis at all.
If they haven't read it, then thd New Testament Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Beyond that, Kirkergaard is supposively good (Sickness, Fear and Trembling, and Eithor/Or). I'm also trying write something in this vein so give me some time and maybe I can help too.

Stop larping as a Christian-hater
This.
I wouldn't recommend any book but the bible. The more literature they read, the less likely they are to believe. And I need them to believe. They need to go to heaven. I believe in heaven. Why can't they believe in heaven? It's not that hard. Jesus died for our sins. EVERYONE'S sins. Why can't they appreciate his gift? Why is it so hard to give a little love back to God, the everloving? God loves all his children. But only if they read the bible.
Mete Christianity
He's not mocking people who commited suicide, he mocked the harmful ideology that leads there.
The data suggests you should be muslim anyway.
Not really.
what exactly do you expect me to take away from it?
>my religious beliefs
They know you don't actually believe this stuff. If you weren't raised in it, you can't internalize it in the way you need to for it to be anything more than a LARP. The only exceptions to this are really extreme situations like people coming out of some ordeal like drug addiction (situations where even most atheists agree it's a fair trade).
Suicide is based, letting cancer take its sweet time on you is cringe.
You really couldn't come up with a better response then that? Jesus fucking christ
Are you retarded?
If they are American, I might recommend they lead through Giussani’s *Religious Sense* just to introduce the perennial religious questions and why they are important in our lives, but I’m becoming more and more pessimistic about the ability of this culture to facilitate an encounter with Christ through text. We Americans have a great many authors, theologians, apologists, journalists, and pundits, but very few saints.
Everyone's shit talking your made-up graph but what really gets me is what you said
>Why do you disobey the commands of anonymous posters who hate you on Yea Forums? That's mean! You should let us have our safe space!
Text alone, I should say.
Depends on their temperament. I think C.S. Lewis works for a younger crowd, maybe even a mom or girlfriend. I'm partial to Thomas Merton's Seven Storey Mountain personally, because it's the book that converted me. It's longer and a memoir
It was such a silly conclusion that it requires nothing else than being told it's wrong.
So you don't think suicide rates matter
t.KIKE
I've heard good things about Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief, but, even though it's brief, I haven't found the time to read it. Can anyone other than Wittgenstein confirm?
KJV's language is unreadable to the average person. If you really want to be autistic about a 400 year old compromise translation then at least give them the nkjv or something.
Desu, I actually tell them to read Plato. I took the Plato to Christ pipeline
Ngl based muslims baka
>no one can sincerely convert
This is such an annoying meme and obvious cope
I can tell that I reminded you what you are and got under your skin
So any response to your claim is proof of your claim?
why do you even come here? It's clear you are a sensitive faggot who spends the whole time hopelessly seething
You're desperate for (You)s
Why would this get any (you)s apart from you desperately trying to cope? Think before you type, faggot.
Why would you post at all if not to cope?
+1
There is a subtle but direct pipeline from Lewis to Merton, I’m in the midst of it myself right now
as someone who isn't religious, between two fires made me wish I was. good shit.
now you're just saying random words, it's no longer funny and is now just sad
Definitely an ESV Study Bible if they haven't a clue. Also The Pilgrim's Progress and a good catechism, probably Heidelberg.
Those words are an echo of yours. I suppose you mean to say that your own statements are incoherent and are merely projecting. Given that you chose to reply to this thread angrily and have given only increasingly angry responses to innocuous statements it's evident that you're a very unhappy person projecting your own mindset onto me. I'm sorry about your condition and hope you take one of the reccomendations offered in this thread to find peace. Have a blessed day user.
>posts a wall of unironic seethe in response to a sentence fragment
You honestly shouldn't be here. This is genuine advice given with regard to your mental health.
Jews are the chosen people
This, goys need not apply
Wrong
No book is going to save you. No not even the word of God. I read dissertations and scholarly works about the Bible for school and these people know the Bible so well (form, redaction, historical criticism experts) yet they are unbelievers. The reason this is is because the only thing that will save you is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. God has to save you. You have to be born again by the spirit of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
>how
By trusting God paid the penalty for your sin through Jesus death on the cross and repenting.
Repenting means giving up. Admit to God you are a loser, don’t try to pretend you are strong or good and that you don’t need Jesus. You and I are wicked, the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart soul and mind. No one has ever kept that (except Christ) even the most holy born again man has never kept it. Our nature, who we are is wicked. We need Christ, go to him in prayer like a sinner needing a savior.
He said “all who come to me I will in no wise cast out” so go to him. Then read the Bible and pray, dedicate your life to Christ by performing good works. Not for salvation but as thanksgiving. God be with you all.
No, not really.
imagine doxxing yourself this easily
The book of John. Although some people can't be saved, namely faggots
