im losing God. help.?
( im not a teenager) I've always loved God, thanked him, and repented. But every damn day I keep getting mad because of all of the rules. Such as sex, the human sex drive is very strong, and most prominently among teens, who can't marry, yet its a sin outside marriage. In the Bible in the book of john I believe it says to believe and love God and your fine, but then there are countless rules. It makes me mad because I can't deal with the fact its all sin. It depresses me beyond belief. I try to pray to God, but never get an answer. Never. All I ask is for him to understand that I love him even though I'm such a failure to him. Everyday I lose Jesus just a little more. If its a test I should be passing, but not anymore. I'm not mad at him, just don't understand why the most natural things are sins. Its a sin to have anger, but have been surrounded by things that have made me angry since I was a child. I just can't take it anymore. If I lose Jesus, I will have lost everything. I can't do it any longer. I need to know the truth. What does Jesus think of me. I'd die for him in a heartbeat, I love him more than anything, I trust him. I'm probably the weakest Christian there is haha, I look at all the others and how perfect they are, then I look at myself only to see a shadow. I'm just so imperfect and undeserving. I need real help with this. Is my love for him good enough. I don't care about heaven or hell, I just want to make him happy. That's it.

How wonderful it is to hear how much you love Jesus. Even Apostle Paul said that he did not want to sin, but sinned anyway. Jesus came and went to the Cross of Calvary because Jesus knew we needed a Savior and that we could not keep the commandments.
The commandments were given so we could know that we cannot keep them. We have all broken the commandments and all have sinned. That is why Jesus came, to take our sin away and give us His righteousness. The only righteousness in any of us is Christ Jesus. Without Jesus, we are nothing. When I sin it bothers me too. It bothers me because I know I am sinning against my Lord that I crucified. Christ died for my sins. The Lord paid the price for me. We are saved by grace by faith in Jesus. We cannot be good enough to grant us Salvation. Salvation is a free gift of the Lord so no man can boist that he did anything to get it. We cannot do anything or be good enough; we are sinners saved by His grace. Scripture says, "none are good, no not one." We have all fallen short of the glory of God.
Keep loving the Lord Jesus and keep your eyes on Him and He will get the Holy Spirit to purify and refine you. When you know you've sinned - repent. You will be forgiven. By believing in Jesus, our sins are washed away as far as the East is from the West. And remember, what the Holy Spirit begins in you, He is more than able to accomplish it. He will have you ready to meet Jesus and you will ever be with the Lord.

Dude masturbation is good for you and is mentioned no where in the Bible. You are strong and great no matter what. There is no weakness in Humans only different levels of strength. Anger is an emotion however too much can be harmful to others and that's the sin.

Dear Wolf; You can't "lose" God, you are just "drifting" between your ears. Ground your self in the word and surround your self with some grounded people, like an bible study class. Think!

Anger is not something that necessarily is a sin. God gets angry. It is what do you do and say while you are angry that causes the problems. You started right off with a bit of cussing, so you are really struggling with how you are supposed to conduct yourself.
Love Jesus with all of your heart. Put nothing else ahead of Him, not even sex. Please read the Bible daily and use what you learn to change yourself a little bit each day. God knows that you are not perfect. And guess what? Those who "appear" to be perfect aren't at all. None of us are perfect yet.
Heaven will be yours as long as you do not turn away from Jesus. He forgives your sins once you have accepted Him, and continues to do so every time that you admit of doing something wrong. Forgive others of what they have done to you. Release the pain and suffering, do not hold grudges or envy, or revenge in your heart. Jesus is waiting for you to surrender all of these feelings to Him so that He can carry that burden for you. It is your choice.

In all honesty you have a frightening lack of rational reasoning. If you were to try to embrace rationality instead of just taking other people's viewpoints as fact then you would possibly reduce the turmoil in your mind. You may find it necessary to start freeing yourself of some of this baggage or else you are destined for far worse times.
I am not suggesting that you lose the general principles that a Christian has but I would avoid taking it so literally. What you are describing there sounds to me like fundamentalism. You are taking things at face value. I am empathising somewhat with your situation. You may find that it is more reasonable to accept that Gods and any form of "information" regarding them is unknowable. You can attempt to work out the reasons why people have certain ideals and then you can decide for yourself what you personally consider to be "right" or "wrong".
Your reference to "Jesus" seems to be an embodiment of some kind of abstraction. Maybe it is about time that you find out what this "Jesus" is representing rather than just speculating about some confusing concept that you cannot understand or cannot place within your existence.

You can find Him at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Not a sin, unless you are doing that instead of making babies with your wife. According the the only story in the bible about masturbation.
Onan married his brothers widow, Tamar, as it was the cultural norm of the time. Onan had a duty to make Tamar pregnant, to protect his brothers honor and Tamar's place in society.
He did not like Tamar much, and instead of finishing what he started he ejaculated onto the ground.
Tamar was reduced to ruin, turning to prostitution to keep herself alive.
The point of the story is to not shirk your duties, it is not "don't spank the monkey'
If God didn't want you to play with it, he would have put it somewhere else, like he did your brain and your liver.
Relax.

Listen, I'm an atheist, but as far as I know, your god forgives you if you ask him to. So I wouldn't be afraid to explore the world a bit, and look at it from a different point of view. Researching and learning about reality isn't a sin as far as I know. You won't come to a conclusion without doing something.
Jesus is all about love isn't he? He was a smart guy, he wouldn't be against you using your brain.
