Hope you will be able to read this because of different types of advices many have given you according to how their own lives are. We speak by the help of our God.
First I thank God that you are at least wanted to do good or be lead in the right path, if you are sincere about it.
So hear this, God saves sinners whether the ones in the churches for so many there are not saved still or outside the churches by grace through faith in Christ. And anyone whom He saved by His grace through faith He removed his sins and gave him His Spirit and made him a new person. And the one he has saved He gave grace to overcome the world whether the false churches and false ministers of God or women who seduce or money which is the root of all evil and so. But He saved us by grace through faith, I mean He being gracious saves the ones that believe in Christ Jesus among the people, and He gives us grace to overcome sins, temptations flesh, self and so on also by grace.
And so if one says he is a christian but not truly saved and so when temptations come he shall surely be overcome, because he can't prevail by flesh or self but by the Spirit of God in him through faith. Rd: Rom: 5:1,2.
For example now Joseph believed in God and when temptation came, the woman and Satan said, lie with me, God whom he believed in helped him or gave him grace, Job also in very horrible condition, his wife with the power of Satan said to him, curse God and died, by the help or grace of his God whom he believed, he prevailed against or overcame the Devil, woman, self, temptations and so on. And so also is Jesus Christ our Lord when Satan came and tempted Him and so also God does to all His own today, who truly believe in Him.
But if one is not truly saved but is pretending to be a christian and he is truly a false or just a natural one, then when sins or temptations come they will prevail against him as it did king Saul.
Now how do one becomes a true Christian if you have not become one? Have faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. If you believe in Him he will save you. If you believe in him then repent from your sins and summit yourself to the brethren to be baptized in water in the name of the Lord Jesus and then join the true brethren, the true believers and God will use them to teach and lead you in the ways of the Lord.
Now if you are thus saved by grace through faith, God will and will be helping you in such things even till the end of your christain journey.
And there are many places they call churches today where sins, lust, seduction, worldliness, fornication and so on are indeed been nurtured and where there is no truth and fear of God to kill and discourage sins but where they are rather being promoted. Let him who comes to true faith also beware of whom he fellowship with for there are many goats now but who pretended to be sheep and many hirelings who also pretended to be shepherds of Lord Jesus Christ. And the spirit of sins flourish in such churches, no true faith, no truth, no fear of God and so on, and the spirit of Satan and sins roam and unchecked in such places and the one who comes to the place they call churches to be helped against sins and be helped in godliness will rather be taught to sin, to lust, to love the world and worldly prosperity. So beware, Thank you [color=#006600][/color]

Very Nice Question.

New Generation Churches are not helping at all.

That's why I had to go back to Anglican.
Where such nonsense are never condoned

I just came back 'home' too after exploring. There's nothing much outside.

My dear, I don't know the advice I will give you now and I will be tagged a carnal man. There was a time I was like you and had serious moral crises. I saw every woman as evil especially those that dress lustfully. I had no internal peace.

But at a time, I came to understand the very fact that at the end of it all, we are all humans..... There are those who have serious sexual urge more than the others. My brother, its only natural to seek "company" when such arises inasmuch as you are not committing a crime like rape... Sex is only natural because man is an animal. I have met a girl whose sexual urge is triple more than the normal girl. The average African or hypocritical Nigerian will call her a demon but am sure that its just natural....

But let me remind you, there is nothing like end times and there will never be.... All you people prophesying end times are limited in knowledge and have no clue whatsoever on how the universe works....

By the way if I may ask you, where the early men wearing clothes? You people are yet to come to terms with the fact that society is evolving with time. You should be grateful that you are seeing people even wearing clothes in your time. Take a time traveling machine a travel back to a million years ago on earth. You will be surprised on how naked people were going around and it was very normal. You may see how people were having sex daily like the animals they were and it was very normal. A million years later, has there been an end time on earth? Or you think it is every body that believes in the Bible? The grand deception? Lest I forget, the world has been for billions of years.... Scientifically proven!

Will you have the mind to believe what you will see should be taken to a billion years back in time?

Free yourself from mental slavery and accept who you are..... Thats if you want internal peace.

if truly a human being is responsible for this write up....then I am sure a demon is living inside of you....

firstly, let me congratulate you for knowing the truth, you will agree with me that to do the will of God is not that hard or difficult but only take a determined mind even as many people have posted before now. my take is therefore the you give yourself to the studying of God's word, meditate it and seek his face in prayer to always do his will with ease and every thing will fall in line by grace. You will make it.

It is no mere gainsaying that endtime is here.. We are now in a world and a society where immorality and vain acts are condoned..

Dear NLders, how do you practically wade off immoral acts and remain deep rooted in faith??

My church used to teach me to "close my eyes and run away" but it doesn't really work..

For instance, I see a girl with really good assets displaying them with pride and sense of lust, and then, getting into her pants occupies my church mind..

My friend "if u are serious" because from ur conclusion it seems u r still njoying d pleasures of lustful sins but is u want solution I will advice u as I have done many youths that had come up with questions like dis. Let ur spirit which is ur conscience and the breath of God in u lead ur mind and body dats all..

Ask for the Glory of God to impart grace and truth into your life and you will overcome.for God to help you stay close to him he must see that you really desire it.the flesh resists the Knowledge of God.you have to fast frequently.study the bible pray in the holy spirit and obey the word.lastly cut off from the world.a christian who is still watching films that unbelievers sin and act should not expect grace from God.the flesh frustrates the grace of God.if you do this God will liberate your spirit from sin and then heal and restore your soul.

Thanks buddy... Some of them have already termed me a demon. Reason I stopped going to church 2 years ago! They are always fanatical. Very much unwilling to learn new things and how stuff works.... They are so medieval in their thinking that you can't but shudder in their ignorance.

One question I have kept on that nobody has answered me is this... If the god they worship created all things on earth and they normally call him "Good God", who created mosquitoes? Mosquitoes has been proven to have killed millions if not billions of human beings! What such good god will create such an animal?

But the real thing is that I personally have come to accept most things Christians term evil and sinful as part of the whole human evolutionary process.... Things are because they are! AT least, thats where my knowledge is limited for now....
