Confusion. >T_T<

I've been observing myself lately. >^.^<; Not my image. But my religon and my beliefs.

And I've become confused. WHAT AM I?? >@.@<

I don't exactly believe in all the same stuff as most christians do. So I'm not sure if I pray to the same God as christians.. I don't believe you have to be christian to go to heaven. And I don't beleive in everything the bible tells me. I just listen to what God tells me.

I know there's God. But who? Are all the Gods that have been discovered, really just one God, but in different forms? >0_o<.. I am very curious, open-minded and free. I love learning about other religions, cultures, and traditions. But I have no boundary. Most people have a book to follow or some kind of guideline. I don't have a book, or an image of what God looks like or is. I believe in most of christianity, but not all of it. Does that make me not a christian? Christianity says not to allow your mind to wander. But mine does.

Am I a christian? Or am I just one of a kind? Am I an outcast?

>^^<;; Um.. Pray for my confusion... Opinions are welcome..

You're asking questions, which is good, and God will answer them.

However, I'd have to say that if you believe non-Christians go to Heaven, you would unfortunately fall outside the realm of what would be considered true Christianity.

But this is not a thread for debate or discussion. It's a thread for prayer, and I will pray for you, c-girl.

I'll be praying for you.

What you might want to know is that when my paralyzed, very Christian grandfather was dying (there were witnesses, including my grandmother, who told this to me), he was dying of cancer, and, well, he was...coughing up blood and should've been in a lot of pain, but he wasn't aware of anything. It was like his soul had already left his body, but he was telling my grandmother what he was seeing. He was running towards a city, and he was seeing his Christian friends, and saying things about seeing Jesus, then he died.

Just something interesting to hear/read that might help you. Only one religion can be true because of the things the different religions differ on. For example, according to Christianity, only Christians go to heaven and according to Islaam, only Muslims (or is it another word?) go to heaven. So both religions could not possibly be right because they contradict each other. One can't go to both heaven AND hell, right?

Just bringing that up before this becomes a public debate, at which point I will swiftly withdraw myself.

Keep what I just said in mind, and PM me if you want to go deeper. I'll be praying for you, C-girl.

It's true that the Bible teaches us to stand in the truth, but It never says it's a sin to question. My advice: Seek God out with all your heart. In Jeremiah 29, God tells us that we will seek Him and find Him when we search for Him with all our hearts.

Hopefully this is of some encouragement. I'll be lifting you up in prayer.

Well Christians believe that the Bible is the Word of God... I don't think you can pick and choose what fits our needs accordingly- that's not how faith in God works. Not everything can be sugar coated. Yeah there are some really nice good people who aren't christians, but the fact is we all sin and fall short of Christ.

You got a lot of other people who are have already sent PM's but like everyone else has stated, if you ever need to talk my PM is always open. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers, and that you find the answers you seek.

A lot of people are sending you PM's, so I'm not going to do the same. I would probably repeat what they are saying.

I've spent time studying the same things you are asking, so please feel free to PM me if you have questions about the Bible or the PM's the others are sending you. I'd be happy to help you find your own way.

I'll be praying for you.
