1 | Thanks, and here's another question. | Bible general Archive 2 | ripken8os | 121439 | ||
Hello all. First off, I wanted to thank the members who answered my question about maturbation. Hank, I did indeed search the word and found many posts. I have now given up the act in order to further perfect my life. Although, I have another question that I need an answer to badly. Okay, I feel that maybe I am just trying to lead a Christian life JUST IN CASE there is a real God and just in case Jesus did die for us. I want to overcome this and ultimately believe in Him fully and have no doubts, but I don't know how. Is this normal? Also, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. | ||||||
2 | Thanks, and here's another question. | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 121661 | ||
In addition to the good advice, you've received, I thought I throw in something from a father of a young boy literally addicted to this problem. Maybe just a little history. My older son started at the sweet age of 16 at the habit of calling 900 and 800 numbers and listening to the sweet whispered nothings from girls so as to satisfy his lusts and ran up a bill of literally thousands of dollars in phone bills. I called the phone company after receiving these bills and assured them no one in my family was capable of doing such a thing; this was done before I found out it was my son. A few months later, after he turned 17, he started doing it again and we had words. I offered to take him to the gym and put the boxing gloves to work because I was just about ready to kill him. His mother, my wife was the only thing that saved that boy from some serious pain as far as I was concerned. You see when he was 16, I went to bat for him and finally got that huge phone bill resolved in our favor, but he promised me that he wouldn't do that again. So as you can imagine, he's been in therapy every since. Once a week, he goes to a group session and they talk about their weakness and ways of dealing with their addiction. That's right, I called it correctly an addiction. Hopefully, you should be able to find such a group in your community. If not, we'll pray for you. By the way, my son is now married, has been for more than two years. He and his wife have problems now and again but they work through them with God's help and maybe just a little assistance from me and his mother. We're trying our best to stay of their way and let them grow up on their own like my parents did. It's tough but it can be done. Well, I really hope this helps you because it's quite humbling to me. God bless. --Rowdy PS: I almost forgot to mention. The fault doesn't all fall to my son. I too had my problem with pornograph magazines and thus I infected my own son with this problem. The only reason I share this with you is so you WON'T go through the same grief with your children. |
