I am actually planning to quit christianity or give up on your God so that I can live a peaceful life But i still need some suggestion

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is located in the Gospel according to John Chapter 1...
❤"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
- (John 1:1‭-‬18) KJV
That is great. Thank you.

The answer, long or short is yes!
Reading the bible is important to understand who Jesus is and why believing in him is key to salvation.
Take your time, start in the new testament. Read the book of Matthew. If you have trouble with words or understanding, pray for guidance.
 
This is very true but can a person who was not a child of God become one as children are adopted? I was just wondering.

They can become His child....they must believe God not only in Him. Remember, James 2:19 says " You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!" Yes even the demons believe.in the one God...in fact they KNOW He is....only they refuse His Lordship and are each lord of their own lives....

Okay Amen.

But just know if you read my whole post you would see that Im referring them to a group of verses!

Yes and they are seeking to ruin ours. That is the difference. If we could only see them to know what we are really up against. By the time we can see them it is too late.
 
If God really loved me why did he allow evil people to torment me?why did he not protect me?why did he allow those evil people to hurt me?

God gave us all freewill, not only the ones who are "nice", because you cannot choose to be kind or do well, or love, or serve, at all, unless you have * freewill *. God respects everyone's decisions, even the evil and wrong ones. It * doesn't * mean He supports or approves of those decisions, but that He allows and acknowledges those choices that were made and by whom. We are not automatons; we're living beings. What we say, feel, think, and do matters, and it has consequences and rewards which are due unto us, though we may be relieved of the punishments through Salvation paid by Grace, should we receive of our own * freewill *, or reject those good things due unto us, and even those gifts which are offered of our Father's freewill -- for He makes decisions, too!

The world was not made for us as singular individuals, as if a video game that many are simply playing a copy of, and all the other people out there are Non-Playable Characters with predesigned responses and interactions. In a game, the bad guys have a certain look about them. In real life, you can learn to discern appearances, and God can grant you discernment of spirits beyond what appearances could possibly tell you, especially short-term. They are human beings with troubles, hurts, hopes, goals, potentials for good or evil, and they too get attacked, led astray, and want better, without often knowing what that is, how to attain it, or even having the ability to do so. Our Father isn't desiring your hurt. He is allowing those people the same opportunities He is giving you, and the rest of us.

We are children He is raising, and your neighbor, sibling, friend stole your toy, hit you in the face, and shoved your face in the sand. What would a good, reasonable, loving father do to resolve this matter between His two kids when He walks up to the sandbox?

You only get about 18 years before you are counted as an adult in human society. God gives us longer. He's still raising your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. And some of us learn slower than others. The ultimate goal is to Learn, the lesson is to Love, and the reward is Life in Jesus/Yahoshua (Hebrew _ Iēsoûs Greek).
 
I read the whole bible 2 times.. WHY Did God allow me to be tormented very badly? if he says he will save me?i am sorry I am in hurt extremely ..no one can save me ..I am planning to become an agnostic atheist for lifetime ..My life will be at peace once if I leave the myth called God ..
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Proverbs 24:10

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,”
1Corinthians 2:9

Eternal life and our endless joy in God is more than worth the cost of suffering in this world for a time.
 
You will do what you wish to do,but please look at one more scripture before you make it final if you would please.( Rom 1:18-22) There will be many who will do this for whatever excuse they wish to use,and all to there own peril.
 
You can read "Scripture" The Bible all day long and Christianity cannot help you But Jesus will! I will declare to you to forsake all and believe in the Words of Jesus alone. And He will never fail you but "christianity" will :eyes: There is only one path to Eternal life and it is narrow and there are not many on it. But on the path and road of "Christianity" the road is broad and many are on it.

Of the world's major religions, Christianity is the largest, with more than two billion followers.

Isaiah 35:8
"And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it--only those who walk in the Way--and fools will not stray onto it."
(Mat. 7)BSB. The Narrow Gate Jesus Said:
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."…

New American Standard Bible (John 14)
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."

Follow JESUS not Christianity! There is a difference. But it takes "Modern Day" Bereans a " Sherlock Holmes" to tell the difference.

Religion Adherents Percentage

Christianity 2.382 Billion 31.11%

Islam 1.907 Billion 24.9%

Secular/non-religious/Agnostic Atheists 1.193 Billion 15.58%

Hinduism 1.161 Billion 15.16%

I am quite sure that "Jesus" "The Way" is so narrow it is not listed. because the path is so small and narrow that few is able to find it.

Shalom
 
Tell that to Jesus himself who used his own Word to rebuke the devil, Matt 4, and he did it 3 different times. If one says they love Jesus then you must love his Word.(John 1:1) Jesus and his Word are the same.( Psalm 138:2)
