This is kind of a long story but please bear with me.
In October I got baptised into Christ after studying the bible for months. I said "Yes, this is what I want and need!" After I got baptised things seemed to go downhill for me; I still wasn't happy and I struggled with believing in God. So I said "This isn't right for me, I'm done" & about a week later I stopped considering myself a christian. I still wasn't happy though and my life got worse than before - I met some 44 year old man on MySpace [I'm only 17] and I tried to meet up with him; My mom stopped me, of course. I've also been really depressed and kinda suicidal. I've also been practicing Witchcraft against my mom's will. I've basically went against everything the bible says is wrong. =/ There's so much more but I'll leave it at that. Basically, I'd like to come back to God but I don't know if I believe in Him anymore. I want to believe in Him so bad but I'm all for science, which disproves the existence of God. So I don't know what to do. I'm so grateful for my mom, aunt, grandma, and family friend. They're all born-again christians and are really trying to help me but I just don't know what to do. If anyone wants to help me I would really, truly appreciate it.
Thanks so much for reading this [if you did! Haha].

Science does not disprove God. You can be a supporter of science, and still believe in God.

Yea I was gonna say science does not disprove God, you're listening to those who try to use science as a tool to try to disprove God. Science isn't like that, science is there to make observations and state proofs based on the observations of those facts, if you listen to creation scientists they have very solid evidence based on geology, genetics, physics, etc. But science isn't your main problem, it's belief. Belief isn't a head problem it's a heart problem. The most I can recommend for you right now is to pray and keep knocking until he answers.
Jer 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Isa 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

And this is Psalm 77 for you, this is the psalmist's own despair that God had utterly forsaken him. However, he snaps out of it by remembering God's own works and faithfulness, I encourage you to do the same after prayer.
Psa 77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
Psa 77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
Psa 77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
Psa 77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psa 77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Psa 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
Psa 77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Psa 77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
Psa 77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
Psa 77:10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
Psa 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
Psa 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Psa 77:14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
Psa 77:15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Psa 77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
Psa 77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
Psa 77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Psa 77:19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Psa 77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Krista, the introduction to Jesus is through the Holy Spirit in you. The first action of the all loving Jesus is to Love you with all his heart. Discovering God is not about following a route map or defining him in history or philosophy. You are young and still searching yourself for the reasons and answers to loving Jesus, this is natural and it is allright not to be allright. I was in the darkness of the pit for many years and found Jesus through a mighty conversion, not everybody is like me though. You will find Jesus is relationship with other like minded Christians. They will not push you, instruct you or judge you, try and find a group of lovinf people who want nothing from you but your presense amongst them. If we could proove God through science then would he be God? I doubt it, the doubting world demands this of you, not Jesus. I think you need to be kinder on yourself and let the real you experience the love and healing power of Jesus work on you. I do hope you find what you are looking for but I will pray daily for you.

hello krista i have been where you are. having been exposed to Christ at an early age i later became an athiest for a number of years until one day our Creator revealed himself to me. like yourself it is a long story and maybe someday you will hear it but for now we will discuss yourself and your current issues you are having with your faith and where it rests.
There is ample evidence of our Creator. you seem to be an intelligent person and so if i provide you with some of this evidence i hope you will be able to digest it and come to a reasonable conclusion.
Within the first chapter of Genesis there are four points of creation that is supported by scientific theory and fact. these four points are; 1. the formation of a planet 2. continental drift and the continent of pangea. 3. life came out of the water/evolution type formation. 4. the caveman/neanderthal/australopithicine-this is most assuredly misspelled.
The first chapter of genesis (KJV) addresses these 4 issues and is supported by science, however we have been duped into believing that science refutes the existence of a Creator.
Yahweh, our Creator has allowed this ideology to manifest itself and become what it is today so that He may refute it after it has had plenty of time to garner strength and convert many to its beliefs before He destroys it with its own claims.
The origins of man and i use this term loosely, is really a great mystery to the paleo world of study though they make great boasts to know exactly where people come from and all that. the fact is is that the evidence that paleoethnology and anthropology has uncovered is so controversial they wont dare release it in a public forum and they flat refuse to draw the conclusion that their findings imply and for now i will not reveal those to you for that same reason; you are not ready.
Please hold off any lifealetring decisions and commitments until such time as we may fellowship further. You should be well informed when you decide as to your future. The Truth can withstand any attack and welcomes all attempts to do so and is not offended by inquiry. Use this as a litmus test as you go through life. I do hope we will speak further and your mom was right to stop you from meeting that 44 year old and you were right to listen to her. Be wise and productive, we have plenty of foolish people to go around but few wise ones and none to spare.

Krista, I'd like to recommend a book to you. It's called I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, by Norman Geisler & Frank Turek. It covers everything frm the question of "Is truth knowable?", all the way to proving beyond a reasonable doubt the historical and spiritual reliability of Scripture. I read it in about a week, and its not always easy to grasp...by by the middle of it, you start to understand what the authors are getting at. I'd recommend it to anyone who either wants to believe in God, or needs a firmer foundation for their faith.

i have attempted suicide and been involved in witchcraft. the devil will throw things at you to see if you will desert christ,when you first become a christian. read Isaiah 41:10. It will help clarify for you. if you want to talk you can email me. i have lived a very bad life and now God is all that matters. He does forgive all sins.Just ask Him.
