>i am the definition of reprobate.

>i looked up the definition of reprobate, it includes "somebody who is predestined for hell."

You are most likely an American or some other Anglo and therefore exposed to heresy much so I will start it rather clear:

There is no such thing as predestination.

You have free will to exercise your life and choose a "righteous" path. But not only that as a Christian you are able to also repent at any moment if you are truly sorry and will be forgiven.

>both my parents sexually abused me, ironically they were both involved in freemasonry.

I am sorry.

>in preschool around age 4 i molested my peers, got in trouble for it, and have never engaged with people sexually since then. i molested a dog, i dreamed of molesting kids, i masturbated a lot to gay porn and anime shota.

All of this is bad.

You should visit a Church and confess this. It is good that you see now what has been wrong and can turn around.

> i smoked a lot of weed and drank a lot of alcohol. i dropped out of high school and community college.

Your social position has no meaning before God. You do not have to be some fancy career lad, just get an honest job and do your best at it and it suffices.

There is nothing to be ashamed of here many good people were stupid children.

Before St. Paul became a Christian he persecuted Christians, tortured and killed them.

How much more severe is this than anything you have done?

He is now a Saint in heaven. No one is lost if he does not give up himself and trusts God.

> i got a 666 tattoo and an inverted cross on me. they were free.

You can get rid of the 666. Even if not it has only the meaning you give to it.

For instance the inverted cross is the symbol for Saint Peter who became a marty by being crossed upside down.

Edgy teens decided to associate it with Satanism, if only they did knewit was still a holy symbol ;^)

>am i fucked eternally? i don't know if i can turn from a life of sin in this moment. sin is all i know. i smell rotten meat in my soul, that's what satanism has brought me.

No, if you are lost or not is up to you. Go to confession and talk with a priest about it, he will help you and offer even practical help.

>i feel like i was killed before i was even born. it is that way because heaven can't exist without hell. i hope you make it to heaven.

Do not give in to depressing thoughts, they want that. You can take action and become what as holy as you were always meant to be, even before birth.

You just have to embrace the chance that Jesus offers you.

Are you baptised? How often do you go to Church? When was the last time?

Psalms 147,2

The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

I'm sorry I missed this thread until now.

>am i fucked eternally?

No. Predestination isn't shared by all Christians either.

>i don't know if i can turn from a life of sin in this moment.

It wouldn't be you who does the turning, so you need not worry about that.

> because heaven can't exist without hell.

Can apples exist without oranges? Hell exists because God, in His infinite love, has even made a place where you could go if you didn't want to be with Him.

————————————-

I hope you're still around, even if it's been 18 days. I wish I had seen your thread earlier.

I haven't read what others have told you yet, but don't give up hope. You have no reason to assume yourself to be beyond salvation. You're not. Being as aware of sin as you are, you should consider this a strength, not a condemnation. You know of sin more than many, and that should be your fuel for faith. To repent is to be aware of sin, and you are very much aware, so use that for faith.

Tattoos can be removed. Life can change. Don't lose hope.

I would suggest to stick around with us, ask everything you want, and we'll accompany you on your journey.

We're of different denominations, so people will tell you to join theirs (as is logical, I don't blame anyone for that); I myself wouldn't know where to push you except to Christ directly.

Are you still around?

>You should visit a Church and confess this.

I don't think you can do that so easily. Unless OP is a confirmed Catholic, which I doubt, you can't just go to confession. From what I know, the priest would inform you on the many steps to take. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe non-Catholics can go to confession, or maybe they can just have a confessional sort of chat with the priest. I honestly don't know.

I'm glad you were there to answer to OP. I completely missed his call for help.

Let's keep bumping this thread until OP comes back. Maybe even pin it or something. When OP checks the catalog, I'd like him to see his thread on top, so he knows we took it seriously.

M8 from the get go let me tell you that there's millions of people more fucked up than you.

Moses killed a man and was a liar buy God choose him and now is one of the most important people on the Bible. What's worse: dropping out of school or killing a man?

Peter was so messed up even after being the disciple of Christ that Jesus called him Satan. He then denies Christ 3 times after swearing for his life that that he wouldn't. Even so he became one of the most prolific preachers in the world.

Almost all Bible charactes have an story like that, why did God chose Saul to become preacher even tho he persecuted Christians and participated in the murders, maybe because is God's proving that the most fucked up man can become a vessel for His work.

Even if God knew that you would do these thibga doesn't mean that you can't change, maybe He wants you to be that bold miracle preacher that have an amazing conversion story.

Confess to Jesus Christ, the man that died for ALL, the man that said that he didn't come here to help the "perfects individuals" but instead for the sick and sinners.
