1 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | Jensen | 17102 | ||
I thought your first answer to my concern was right on target. You saw through all of my excuses and laid it at my door; Can I trust anyone? Well, the answer is no. But now you want me to try to find a church (anyway?)that I can trust. But how? There was one other thing about this church that I thought was curious (not following what Jesus said to do)but I now know that, apparently, other churches have the same practice. I can only believe what is in the Bible. I am not a scholar as so many on this Forum are. I can not quote verses to make my points because there seems to be an offsetting verse for everything and anything I might say. I may just sound stupid. It really is a matter of trust. That is why I believe your first answer was so important to me. There is no way that I could question a pastor on anything in the Bible and there is no way to place trust in any pastor who claims to know all the answers when in fact many pastors disagree on simple points. Or so it seems from reading "debates" on this Forum. There is one on this Forum who seems very knowledgeable and even responded to my question on this issue. When I wanted to consider him/her more seriously I pulled up other very recent debates that he/she was in and found that he/she was so inconsistant that I thought "these people just want to use many words to say,essentially, nothing." Again, your answer was perfect for the problem I have. I must first learn to trust (trust again)people before I will consider any lesson they may wish to teach that is based on a verse. They change like the wind. They just want to impress others, like the original pastor that was my concern. Please, keep me in prayer but know that it was you who nailed the problem. Additionally, I know that many, many Christians had no church to attend when this country was expanding west. Just home Bible studies. And that is where I am at and where I am going to stay. I do not need people making things up. Or I must first equip myself to protect my family from know it alls who may know nothing at all. I thank you again, and all those who offered their views. God Bless, Jensen. |

2 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | crv464 | 81802 | ||
What a great post, this is the first Easter I havent been to church in a long time also. The Bible alone changed me before I ever stepped into a church. God's Word was enough. I've been involved in 3 church's since my conversion. I've been quite involved in different help ministry's. I'm not going to church to find a social life, I think its great to have fellowship but whats go's on in the churchs I've been to is overshadowing the teaching and leading. And it all go's downhill from there. I just want to learn and study togather, not follow a social and event calender. I'm sure their are tons of people who feel this way, God Bless you. Hang in there, Jesus knew this feeling very well. Craig |
