Subject: What is your religious background? |
Bible Note: Thank you. You didn't sound like an Arab Muslim. :) They seem to be more militant in their religion. You sound as tho you are just someone who has spent a lot of time questioning. Maybe you were in a church, Pentecostal or whatever, but were just embracing their beiefs accd to how they say they believe rather than having a personal relationship w/Jesus? I know I grew up Catholic but I had no idea who Jesus actually was. I knew all the church doctrines, etc, was a whiz at religion but had no idea about Jesus and salvation. I eventually went the other direction to where I didn't believe anything good about any religion, esp. about Christianity and the Bible, but eventually I did meet Jesus and that changed my life. There are many Christians who love Jesus but can't find a church they want to attend because of the doctrins or preconceived notions the various churches has, but these people read their Bibles and really love Jesus. I've been saved over 20 yrs but in the past 6-7 yrs, just joined a church because I just couldn't find one I was comfortable with. Just don't throw away learning about Jesus because of the various Christians you may have been exposed to that may or may not be wrong in their beliefs. It's always best to go the the source, the Bible, and find out what the Bible says, not what so n so says the Bible says, that's where many people make their mistake. Then I do agree that some of it is beyond my capacity to understand, so it is good to find a good church if you can where there are good Bible teachers who have studied the Word and can elaborate on things you can't understand, but always be open to the Holy Spirit because man is definately falible. :) |
