Kia Ora! (Hello)
I'm E-J and I'm from New Zealand.
Despite my somewhat blasphemous attitude, I was once a budding young theology student, doing an internship with the church I went to, I didn't end up finishing my studies due to a variety of reasons, chronic illness which lead to my absence from college, the inability to see eye to eye with the pastors I was working for (very long and complicated sotry behind that) and the hypercritical people I associated with at college (I include myself in this picture)
I soon realised that I wasn't as "Super Christian" as I thought, and this has led me to question a lot of things, my faith included, and has led to a complete turn around to how I see and accept others, I'm a firm believer of following Jesus, (loving the unlovable, forgiving the unforgivable which can get me into a fair bit of trouble!)
I have also found it hard to accept the image of God that I grew up with (caring and kind, fatherlike etc), I am from Christchurch, and in light of the devastating february earthquake, we have been left with the question "where is God in all of this turmoil?" and with several of my friends still unaccounted for I am very much having doubts over this God figure...
And that is my story so far...
Keen to know a bit more? Just ping me a message or email or whatever you do on here
