Please help me please give me your opinion. also I can't seem to write back once I have posted why is that?

Answer 1

I can see from your writtings, you're very much upset. If you'll running, just remember, no one is chasting you, God at this time is in a quite time, He is not trying to get any one to come to him, you have to come with your own free will, unless He calls you. No one is suppose to push or pull you, just give you the gospel( the good news, about the new world to come), and let you prepare your self. God is only calling those He want to use. If God calls you, you will know, no one has to tell you, and lead you into what He wants of you. All you have to do is, live a good sinless life, when you feel depressed, go to a quit place by your self, just talk to God as if He was there with you, and He might well be, because He is every where', pour out your troubles, from your heart, to Him, He will hear you, and take care of all your problems, just believe and have faith. You are looking to much at what people thank. Its not what the people thank, God see's you, and He knows whats in your heart. God has said, live in this world but dont be a part of it.
The true christian is nondenminational, and the true church, God's church, you cannot join, you have to be called to it, by God the Father.
You know you can find the answers to all your problems in your Bible. Get you a good King James study Bible, if has a back section, that will help you find parts of the bible that will speak to you and tell you what to do.
Have faith, all you need is faith.
I come from a christian family, spend a lot of time in mans church, can't say that i've been in the true church, I've been reading the bible all my life, taking bible courses; I dont go to mans church now, because I find they are not the true church, God ha said, 'do not be unequal yoked.' I live in this world, but I try not to be a part of it.
Satan has lot of religions out there, leading people the wrong way.
Read your bible and ask God for the understanding, no one will know the bible, unless God gives them the understanding, thats why he gives you part of His spirit.
Peace be with you, and God bless.
I have said. " I am going to live my life, as to be judge by Jesus Christ, a Good and Rightous person.

Well hello there sister I am an independent baptist, same views as you. First all working in the nursery is doing God's work, someone has to watch the kids while the sermon goes on right? But that kind of makes me wonder why you do it every wed.? Do you not want to be in the service, and pray at the altar or at your seat whatever they do? I say this do not let the people in the church hinder you from your service to the Lord. If that pastor is preaching salvation, than that is all that matters. Will you be held accountable on the day of judgement for what those people in church do? No you will be held accountable for what you do, do not let people run your mind. Who cares what they think, you are there to praise and worship God right? So don't worry about what is going on around you. I understand you care about what other people think about you and I do to sometimes. But this right here has to be one of those things that need to be pushed under the rug. You have to understand there are usually these types of people in all churches. Also to reply back just move your cursor over the little pencil thing, right under your message, if not you can click on my picture and click on the email this person button. I'm not discrediting your nursery work though, just curious why you do it all the time? Do they have a tv in there that shows the pastor preaching? You should get involved with people at the church, you can tell which people are safe to get close to. Get to know some people so it's not so ackward when entering in there. I know how you feel though I hate those situations, but it is much better when you know people and than it feels like home. Are you saved?

Answer 3

First, you should seek professional help immediately if you are not doing so now. Being physically or mentally abused at any point in your llife does have lasting repercussions.

Ok, with that said, I think that you were worrying about not being prepared and so you became agitated and anxious. First of all, don't worry so much. So, you were not prepared. Big deal. I'm sure someone there could have shared or the teacher/bible study leader could have lent you a book or bible. I know it's hard to make friends when you do not know anyone, but sometimes you have to break out of your shell and say hello. Just saying hello is usually enough to start conversations, and coversations facilitate making lasting friendships.

Good luck and remember to just chill out.

Answer 4

Looks like you have led yourself into a group of territorial Christians.

I found allot of these while I was seeking God in Christianity.

You have 2 options.

1. Stick around and try and become a normal part of the group. This can take years sometimes.

2. Leave and find another group that is a little more accepting. This is the route I would choose, if these people are treating a fellow Christian this way, then they obviously don't really care to follow the words of Christ, and have let their comfort and country club mentality supercede the message.

There are allot of options out there for you, I suggest looking for a vineyard or something similar, where the people tend to come from non traditional backgrounds and are a lot less quick to gossip and judge.

Answer 5

I could understand if they had someone else come and work with you with the children, number one, that'd be more fun for the kids, number two, that'll help you to know what a great, healthy relationship with kids looks like more easily. I don't think any church that kicks you out of serving God, in any position, at least without trying to help you first, is really following God all that well. I think you need to pray about it, then maybe look for other churches after talking to the pastor there about this.

Answer 6

They clearly failed to undertsand your feeling of insecuity about being projected into a situation that you were not prepared for and jumped to the wrong conclusion.

In reacting the way they did, they were failing their moral duty to provide the undertsandingthat was necessary and so they are at fault

Of course you got angry at being accused of something you were not doing. I suggest you seek another place where you will be received in a more Christian manner, it shouldn't be hard to find

Answer 7

It sounds like you were the victim of some accusers.It's a sad thing that the people that can hurt us the most are the ones that claim to be in our family of believers.I would try to ignore them and if they make any more rude accusations just say that your praying for them and walk off. If they persist talk to the pastor.If the pastor is one of them or ignores you then find another church.You can tell the condition of a person by their fruits and if they wrongly accuse without listening to reason then they can't be mature Christians

Answer 8

It sounds to me like they put you on a bit of a spot last night and then made incorrect assumptions about your lack of preparation. No one can say you are "running" from god -- you were there, right? Your relationship with whatever you perceive god to be is your business.

If you are not receiving what you need form that church, remember there are many different paths. You may need fellowship at a different place. Check your newspaper or do an on-line search, and be picky. You need to be in a place that makes you feel wanted and welcome, not accused.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Honey I know exactly what you are saying.

These people would not be able to distinguish God from a carved pumpkin.

Don't let their confusion become yours. Just try to love them like Jesus asked us to.

They have little to teach you because they are far more confused about God than you will ever be.

Trust that most of us love you just the way that you are, and trust that God loves you and understands.

Love and blessings Don
