Hello!

[sunfordays]

My name is Kate, and I currently don't attend any church. My parents stopped taking me when I was very little and haven't had the opportunity to go to one since.
I've also never read the bible, but I believe completely in Jesus. I am here in an attempt to better start a connection with Him and myself.

How did you come to believe in Christ without the aid of church or Bible?

How old are you, girl? Do you have your husband's permission to post here?

Re: Hello!

I have heard friends talking about Him and know the basics, but not much more.

I can just feel that there's a higher power looking out for me, and I believe it is Jesus.

I'm 18, and I am not married.

Being a Christian isn't just "a feeling." Unless you know what you believe and why, you are nothing more than a superstitious fool.

I don't believe I made the claim of being Christian, just that I would like to learn.

Do tell, how is this possible?

Were you incarcerated?

If you wanted to attend church, you could very well do so.

Would it not be more accurate to say that you have chosen not to go to church since your parents stopped taking you?

You have chosen to ignore God?

You have chosen to make up a God and Jesus in your head, who happen to agree with everything you think, rather than devote just 15 minutes a day to reading the Perfect Word of the Creator of the entire Universe?

Re: Hello!

I suppose I could, yes, but I have not found any churches here that made me comfortable.
Many churches here are Korean or a sub-category of Christianity, and that is not what I am looking for.

I have, though, chosen to ignore the bible up until now. It was only recently that I started feeling like I was wrong in my convictions.

That's Jesus speaking to you, telling you that He is real, not just some fairy you can make up for yourself like Zeus or Allah!

So, how much of the Bible are you going to read daily?

Re: Hello!

That's what I was thinking it was, yes.

I'm not sure! I've got to find one first.

Re: Hello!

Now I know for a fact that there are Independent Baptist Churches up there in Alaska. Are you trying to say that none of them allow Whites?

Or could it be that you were barred entry into God's House because of the moss and mold growing in your hair?

Oh, thank you so much.

I'm pretty sure my hair's got nothing to do with it. I just hadn't seen most of these churches around, though a couple of them I know have strayed from strict Baptism.

But if you're unfamiliar with the Bible and Church, then how would you be able to judge? And where is the man in your life to decide these things for you?

Because I have had friends who have left the churches because they were unfit.
I don't need a man to decide things for me, thank you.

Ah, see, that's where you're wrong little lady.

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
