Hello everyone!
My name is Cathy and I have been perusing this forum for a little while. In preparation for posting I have read through the KJV once and I am partially through my second time. To tell you all the truth I feel like I will never have read it a satisfactory number of times, and so I will continue to do so throughout the rest of my life.
I don't attend a proper church because I am having trouble finding one in my area. I was born into a Roman Catholic family but I knew from an early age that it was not right for me. However, I respected my parents' wishes and continued to attend the weekly service with them until age seventeen, at which point I elected to follow a different path.
At first, under the ignorant and misguided impression that most Christian churches operated similarly to Roman Catholic ones, I avoided religion altogether. Recently though, I have found myself wishing I could find a good church where I could be closer to God and avoid all of the corruption and the focus on money that I observed in the RCC. That is the reason I am here, asking (or more like begging) for guidance on finding the church where I belong.
My favorite Bible verses (for the time being, as they change all the time) are:
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you" John 15:12
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved"
John 3:17
"So when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you let him cast the first stone" John 8:7
"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for where in thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things" Romans 2:1
As you might have guessed, the Gospel according to John is my favorite book of the Bible. I find it to be very elegantly written.
If you would like any more information about me, please feel free to ask. I was not sure how much to say in this first post, as it seems to be running a bit on the long side already. Thank you for taking the time to read all the way through this. I look forward to hearing from you all.
