WOW I think you guys gave me more confusion lol no but seriously...?

Question

I think I found what I was looking for or at least what to look into and just to clear up a few things. I went to church from the time I was born up until I was 15 I really didn't mind going but would have much rather sat at home and read the bible then sit and let some one tell me what I was supposed to do. I couldn't stand and STILL can not stand ppl telling me that I am wrong for how and what and who I believe in. I have accept god into my home and heart and truly believe that he gave me every little thing I have but DO NOT believe that YOU or any one has the right to tell me otherwise HE CAN AND WILL tell me if I have done wrong.

I have always held true to this and it is the one thing that I tell everyone that does judge me and that is that

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD SO STAND BACK AND LET MY FATHER DO HIS JOB!

Once agian thank you for ALL the replys.

Answer 1

What most people don't realize is that religion begins at home, not in a church. Look at the Amish people, they don't use a church to worship in, they worship at home.

Basically, it's all about what you, yourself, believe, not what others tell you TO believe. I've been told many a time that I'm going to hell because I don't believe the same things that person believed in, and to me...that's wrong. Whom are others to say what's right and what's wrong, it's for the spirit to decide.

You sound like you're getting along just fine. Don't let others get to you.

Answer 2

If you want to believe this, go for it.

" I went to church from the time I was born up until I was 15 I really didn't mind going but would have much rather sat at home and read the bible then sit and let some one tell me what I was supposed to do. I couldn't stand and STILL can not stand ppl telling me that I am wrong for how and what and who I believe in."

Now. You back this statement up with scripture. YOU can't. You have violated 1 of God's Basic Spiritual principals of fellowship within the Church, and spiritual growth. You hold TRUE? Thats a joke. How TRUE are you, too the the fellowship among other believer's? I could believe you may be held True pale green. Now, I see where you like to make comments to people and shun them with caddy remarks. Make your remarks to me, but have scripture to support it. Otherwise, your just another mouth pop'n off. Either God is behind you, or He isn't. Lets see how God, gives you scripture to support your false theory.

YOU, my friend, think what you like. God's Word, says: different. Period.

Answer 3

God commands us to keep holy His Sabbath—the seventh day of the week, not the first.
But does it really matter which day we keep?
Did it matter that Uzzah touched the ark? Did it matter that Samson’s hair was cut? Did it matter that the man of God disobeyed God’s seemingly “minor” instructions?
If the Ten Commandments are in force today, then yes—it matters!
But, some will argue, we really cannot know for sure which day is the seventh day Sabbath, because the weekly cycle, which began at Creation, has been changed and time has been lost.
Has Time Been Lost?
Actually, time has not been lost. God has provided a way whereby we can know for sure we are keeping the day He blessed and sanctified. Consider the following:
The Jews have always observed the seventh day Sabbath. When they returned from Babylonian captivity, there was no question as to which day was the Sabbath. They were still observing the same day when Jesus came on the scene. In fact, Jesus observed the day the Pharisees and other Jews observed.
From their dispersion in the first and second centuries until the present, the Jews have observed the seventh day of the week, the same day Jesus observed. There have been no breaks in the weekly cycle, no change from the seventh to another day of the week. Since the advent of global telecommunication methods, Jews all over the world have been found observing the same weekly cycle, the same Sabbath.

Answer 4

Your logic is inconsistent. You wouldn't be able to read a Bible unless you sat and let somebody tell you what you were supposed to do...when you learned to read. You could have just gone out on your own and decided for yourself what the letters mean and what sounds they represent.

So what makes learning God's Will any different? Sure, self study is helpful...but what good is it if you can't put it into context?

That's why so many people are able to commit atrocities in the name of God. They think that they know for sure the true meaning of certain Biblical (or Koranic...) verses. A little help and advice from more experienced and critical thinkers can often be helpful.

Answer 5

You are on the right track....Who cares about what people think. It only matters about what God thinks. I don't go to church either, and the people who have attacked me the most are fundamentalists. I write about it in my book, Parable of the Fortune Cookie.....Many well-meaning Christians have a wrong spirit and it is definitely not the spirit of the Lord. Hang in there!!!

Answer 6

I have been there, right along with you. No one worships the same God-- I mean, yes, we believe in God, but He is not the same God to everyone. It is just like a knowing a person. Yes, we all know "Jane," but when we think of "Jane" we all see something different in her. The thing that matters is that you have a close, loving relationship with Him.

Answer 7

kinda confused about the question here.

but like you, i'm not all for going to church, but its not because i have a hard time listening to people tell me i'm wrong. i just feel off in some churches. sometimes, i find more peace sitting under a tree and just enjoying everything around me.

but i don't think the people in church are necessarily trying to scold anyone. they're just trying to keep everyone together. like you know how christians are meant to sharpen each other, well, some people need other people more to help them through their journey.

Answer 8

The fist bad thing given to humans was taught, because that gave them the right to think and believe anything they choose to right or wrong, so yes of course I'm all ways right

Answer 9

Wow, taking a quote from a Salt-n-Pepa song makes you think you know what you're talking about, huh?

Answer 10

There is nothing wrong with righteous judgement, check the Bible again.
