I understand your problem very well. I live in a small village in Norway, and have no Christian friends that I socialize here. I feel like I can't go to the Lutheran church, because they hardly preach the Bible there. There is a pentecostal church here that are mainly for people from Eritrea, so I am not sure I feel comfortable there either.
Can I ask where you live? I know the west coast has some good churches and Småland, too.

Hey brother. Thank you.
Yeah i trust in God to help me understand what im reading.
Right now im doing research about trinity because i dont believe in it. Reading bible of course.

My mind is spinning.
Then i remember..
Trust in God to help me.

Hello, Karin. I hope you find this space encouraging and meaningful. It’s good of you to share with us a bit about your situation. Following Christ is one of the best decisions one can make. Welcome to God’s family! You might be interested to do some reading to strengthen your faith : https://bit.ly/2rWhW3B. I’m praying that God will surround you with His infinite love, draw you closer to Himself and give you wisdom as you trust in Him.
Thank you for your concern.

Hello Karin,
Praise God that you have the desire to study the Bible. In order not to be deceived, we have to know the truth of God's Word for ourselves. As you get to know the Bible for yourself, you'll discover that Jesus Christ is both the Son of God and yet, He is also God. He is the only one who was tempted in all aspects and yet did not sin. Hence, Jesus is the only one that God the Father accepted to die on the cross as our substitute. By repentance of sin and believing in His death, burial and resurrection, we can be forgiven of our sins and spend eternity with God in heaven. Furthermore, God is by nature a Trinity--God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He's not three Gods, but one God in three persons. I know the concept of Trinity is hard to understand. For this reason, I've provided links that will help you grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Please feel free to ask any questions. ~Blessings to you~
