I had some very personal unexplained experiences that helped me.  I'm not religious though. I believe religion is politics and people. I love God and I believe in the virgin birth, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I was not raised with any sort of Christan up bringing.  I also do not currently attend church. I was hurt by people there. I still love God and Jesus, they did not hurt me.  I want a church that is a reflection of heaven...all races, gay and straight, bikers, rappers, prostitutes, homeless, rich and poor, skinny and fat and everything in between, no judgments everyone just doing their best to be more like Christ. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we will fail miserably but in this church it will be OK to fail. You'll admit it and do better next time and the people will love you and encourage you just the same.  If you know where this church is let me know, I've got to meet these people.

your problem is not unusual.  luckily, you are smart enough to realize your own confusion...some people will go their whole life "half-believing" in god.  One thing i noticed that you need to realize, if you don't already, is the most important thing to god is your "personal relationship with god."  don't let the whole morals and rules business confuse you until you are at that point.  christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.  god wants you to experience love and fulfillment in life and he says you can only experience this through that "personal relationship with god."\n\ngod loves you and he is someone to talk to.  he doesn't respond verbally in most cases, but you can find his responses in your everyday life.\n\ni'll tell ya...i love talking to people about this kind of thing.  its my favorite thing in the world, and people tell me i'm a good listener.  so if you're serious about this wanting to get out of a spiritual rut business and you have the slightest interest in talking to me:  email me at e-address@sbcglobal.net and i'll try and set up some means to talk to you.\n\nif not, i'll still pray for your spiritual push-outta-a-rut.

Although I am not religous, my best friend is Christian.  And when I am in a rut, she always gives me the same advice.  Just believe.  Believe that things will get better.  Try to find something to hold on to, and begin praying again.  Try to find something you can join other than a church, or just surround yourself with really good friends and family.

something i read really helped me with this same question...i believe the god/s that every religion worships is the same one..i just didnt know how to be close to a god with so many personalitys...and when i read this \n"God is love and he respects love, whether its between a parent and a child, a man and a woman or friends. i dont think he cares about religon one little bit. live your life right. love with all your heart, dont hurt others and help those in need. dont worry about heaven. if it exists you be welcome."  i knew that just talking to the big guy upstairs and following my heart and what i think is right then ill be ok...and i consider myself close to god because i can have a conversation with him anytime and feel like hes listening. but i dont have to go to church or practice religon i just have to believe and ill be ok....

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a christian.....It's the ticket to heaven...Just truly believe in jesus. But we as humans have to believe in a higher power. To believe that there is a deity that never sleeps, is all knowing, loves you and cares for you no matter what, that watches over you and is the keeper of our loved ones when they die. I got saved Oct of 04, Iam not self-rightous but christians live a totally different type of life. They are quicker to lend a hand, or an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Just an example.....My father committed suicide last july. My family and I spent EVERYTHING we had saved on the funeral and the tombstone. My church  gathered a memorial fund in my fathers name to cushion the financal blow and had a HUGE catered dinner for us after the funeral. Would a regular person do this? Maybe....But the point is is that they loved us, were caring in our time of need and had God at heart when they did all this.They listened to us when we needed understanding, gave us some understanding on why things like that happen. They prayed for us...never underestimate the power of prayer...PRAYER DOES WORK. And praying for another human being is the most loving thing some one can do. I was working for my church as a secretary when my father died...I missed an entire week of work, when i showed up that Tuesday morning my minister handed me a full weeks pay and i didn't work one day the week before. Unselfish acts, as they say, doing as God has instucted me.... And when you have God in your thoughts and Jesus in your heart you can't go wrong...   Theres nothing wrong with being a christian, They are a loving, giving people.....were all family and its a family that iam proud to be a part of. (Sorry this was so long)

Yes, I believe in the Lord. He is also my Lord and Savior. I am glad to see that there are still some people that aren't afraid to admit that in the end they will be going to Heaven. I'll see you there.

I, too, believe in the God of the bible; and I believe that He is a God who heals as well. If He healed you of your paralysis, then I believe He can heal me of mine, too. In June '03 I was robbed at gunpoint and shot in the neck while leaving a grocery store at night. The bullet hit my C - 4/5 vertebrae, paralyzing me from the neck down. I believe, as the Word says, that the Lord can heal me. Please pray that the same healing touch which healed you would touch me as well. I want my testimony to touch other's lives just as yours has touched mine.

Yes, I am Christian and want to help people, but I know I am not the savior.  The true Savior will fix what's going wrong and the iniquities of our world when people start spreading the Gospel.  It is God who changes people's hearts.\n\nYes, you or anyone else can help people physically, and that can be classified as spreading the Gospel too.\n\nBut remember, there is a big difference in good works, and works by faith!\n\nHere is what I do to keep my self somewhat in check:\n\nI pray first\n\nRun what I believe to be the answer of that prayer, by someone I know and trust.\n\nThe I take action by creating a plan.\n\nYes, funding is most likely involved, so I check out opportunities to fund what ever it is that I feel I am called to do.\n\nThen I find other volunteers.\n\nAnd finally, I set up shop so to speak.\n\nWhen I follow this path, I find that people change!  ;)

It depends on what kind of help you need. Money? Then borrow from the bank. Physical or mental? Go to a doc. Don't be disturbed that people answered "we need help", look at the world, no one can figure out what to do. People at war, people hating others because of what they believe or don't believe. Kids starving. Its a mess out there. We are need a hiding spot where we can go get renewed to face the trials of life. That is what faith does for you. You get the strength to go on and try and help others who are struggling too. I don't see having faith as a weakness as some people on this site seem to think. I see it like a place to go when I need encouragement to live life to the fullest. You know like in hockey or football, there is a team coach, to guide and instruct, that thought doesn't scare you. Don't be alarmed that everyday people need a little coaching too, just like those players.Religion, has taken a very bad wrap because just like everything else in this world there are people who do terrible things and call it religion. However, I am not speaking about following a bunch of rules, I am talking about a relationship with God. True followers do not want to hurt people, they want a world were you can live in peace.Because a person followers a certain faith doesn't mean you leave your brains at the door. Its error to call any group of people stupid because they think different than ourselves, that to me is narrow minded and scary. Hope this helped answered your question. Good Luck on your  journey in this life.

First question: Yes, I believe God truely loves me. I also believe He loves all people. \n\nQuestion 2: I do believe in the Wrath of God and I do believe that I will be judged on judgement day. I DO NOT believe that God's love and mercy only go so far. I am not sure if you are saying we have to "earn" grace or do "things" to work our way into Heaven, but I believe the Bible is very clear about grace, doing good deeds etc. \n\nWhy would you want to exclude athiests? They need to hear about God's grace more than anybody. I will pray for you.

Sure.  I'll pray for you.  Also, I've found that often prayer leads me to answers which are different than the ones I expected.  Try to keep an open mind and be patient.

I'm sorry that you had so much trouble and pain in your life.  I am Catholic also.  I was away from the church for a long time because I just kinda wanted to do my own thing.  It was about 4-5 years ago that I started feeling something missing in my life.  I couldn't figure it out.  Initially I started looking for a sense of meaning in my life.  Tried a couple churches, even a Methodist church.  Nothing felt quite right until I found the church I attend now.  It's a Catholic church.  It is truly amazing when I look back now on things that happened in my life and to people I love.  I looked at things very much like you.  My son went to jail, I was in financial hell, didn't have the greatest relationship with my wife which caused us to separate for a year.  Looks pretty gloomy huh?  Where was God during all this?  Well, my son was running with some pretty bad people.  He was put in jail where he had time to reflect on where his life was going and he now attends mass with me and my wife who are now together with a relationship stronger than ever because we needed time apart to see how much we needed each other.  As for the finances, we still live week to week, but when I look back, there is always enough there.  There is always a sum of money that comes from somewhere right before we really need it.  Sometimes God doesn't give us what we want.  Sometimes that's a good thing because we rarely know what we want and our mind is always changing.  Mostly God gives us what we need.  Because he knows us.  I doubt what I said will change your mind about God right now.  But please keep in mind what I said.  Please give Him time to work in your life.  I don't know what you have been through, but maybe some of the things were for the better.  For your better.  Maybe they weren't what you wanted.  Maybe they were what you needed.  God is always there waiting for you to turn around and talk to him.  Start small and tell Him how you feel.  Even if it's anger.  Tell Him that you hurt and need healing.  I know it's cliche' but even if you don't believe in him, he believes in you and he loves you very much even if you don't feel it.  Faith isn't a feeling.  Faith is what keeps us praying when we have no feeling to grasp.  If everyone had that feeling of God's love and presence, there would be no need for faith.  Hang in there my friend.  God Bless you.

man, i feel bad for you. you're playing on the wrong team. God is so real. it seems like everyday he's proving himself (to me anyway). i mean there are times i look back and it could have only been God that got me through. God gives me peace, protection, and he is a great provider. My first year in college I didn't have a job or a dime to my name, but God made a way for me. He made is so that I was never hungry, and that I never wanted for anything. to you God might be an "invisible friend" but for me he is my best friend. the bible is a guide that tells us how to live. and if people live right they dont have to fear God. he gave his only son for us, do you really think that he wants to destroy us? to cripple us with fear? No, thats not him, he is loving. I'm sorry if you feel that God has failed you, or that he's not real, because you're missing out.

Avoid the false teachings of churches. They set people up. They preach and teach prosperity and blessings and then when it doesn't happen the people fall hard. True relations with God are quite different and not easy but the comfort is there. If you are truly seeking out God and need to talk you can e-mail me through my below website. I can't promise that I can help, but I try and genuinely care. I also am very busy but try to check e-mail daily. If not and I don't hear from you then best wishes in your life.
