I don't want to doubt gods existence, but I find it really hard sometimes not to listen to logic, and I know god is not logical, and doesn't care for logic. I guess, what I want to know is how can you be so sure? I want the same unshakable faith, but find it so difficult to achieve.
Believing is not easy is it?. Where your present thinking is at the moment, is not a bad place to start from. When I got out of the military, I wanted to hitch-hike across the country with nothing but a light back pack.
I remember standing on the outskirts of L.A., asking myself, “Are you crazy? Three thousand miles with twenty bucks in my pocket. Might be bad weather, no place to sleep or clean up…and hay,,,there are nuts out there. ”As you get older you get smarter.
Jumping into a belief of God with nothing but a back pack full of notes that read, “Just believe,” well that might work for the first few miles, but when trouble comes along, everything falls apart. I guaranty you would never go down that road again. I‘ve seen to many folks jump right in, and fall by the roadside.
Tell you what I recommend. Keep your life pretty much as it is, and find a mature Christian who will give you a weekly Bible study. All Christians will do it for free. If one wants to charge…their not a good Christian…yeah, like everything else, we have some of those.
Start a search of local churches on your computer. Make a service or two, God will hock you up with the right person.
This is a good Christian forum to learn from also, but you need a face to face person. If you’ve read through some of the threads on our forum, you’ll see we don’t all agree on some things. That’s normal. Human nature I guess. One thing most agree on…there is a God, and we want to serve him. There’s a lot of people like yourself too.
One more thing. If you’re ever feeling stupid enough to hitch hike across the county, do it from truck stop to truck stop…most have showers, an hot coffee. Plus their open all night. See you around the forum
