First of all, I want to say thank you. You've answered some of my questions, brought some very good passages to my attention, and I greatly appreciate it. However, due to some messages I'd received and from hearing from other Christians at various churches, I'm not really sure what to think, so I'm throwing in the towel.
I've tried talking to God, asking him to guide me in his word, I've prayed. Everything that I hear him telling me and I believe to be from his word apparently is all from Satan. I'm tired of believing I'm following God. Chances are I'm already condemned for following what I believe is God and apparently following Satan. I didn't know, but I don't want to follow that anymore.
I always thought we were supposed to love our neighbor, regardless of their sins. Homosexuals, murderers, theives, everyone. Do I want their lifestyle? No, but I'm not going to condemn them, it's not my place. Well, apparently loving them is pure evil.
I have had several passages that I follow, but apparently that's wrong to do as well. For example the Bible says NO sex before marriage. NO sex. Yet rape is not counted. Why am I suddenly counted as pure if I was raped? Isn't that placing myself above what God said? Isn't that saying "Well, I know more than God so tough."? I'm condemned for that.
God will forgive any sin, you just have to stop doing that sin. Well, I can't be pure ever for my soon-to-be husband. So how can I be forgiven for something that I can't change? I've murdered insects as well, bacteria, etc. If all these are lives, how can I be forgiven if I'm forever thought of as a murderer?
Like I said- I want to thank everyone for all their help, I'm just not really seeing a point. How was I supposed to know that everything that I had "someone" lead me to believe that was backed up in the Bible was actually Satan? I had no idea. I'm just do fed up.
