Im a 21-year old girl born and raised in Denmark, currently studying pharmacy. Im not really danish though, because both my parents are from the Middle East. They are both muslims, so are my entire family so I have been raised to love one God. I dont live with or near my parents anymore, because my studying requires that I live near my University which is hours away from where my parents live. Im not married by the way.
I can't imagine what you hope to gain from secular book-learning, though. All that will come of that is that you will be led astray.
Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Also, at 21, you are already falling woefully behind on your prime child-bearing years. Instead of spending all your time reading about un-Godly scientific "theories," you should have already found a True Christian(tm) husband to exercise his lordship over you and have you give him sons. The apostle Paul tells us that, as a woman, this is your way to Salvation.
I Timothy 2:13-15
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Right now the only thing I really know about myself is that I believe in God as the creater of everything, but Im so scared that I am not pleasing him like he wishes me to. Im scared that Im not looking at him through the right perspective.
I have read about judaism, hinduism, buddhism and of course Christianity. Islam I was kind of raised in to, so I didnt have to study it.
All of this have left me even more confused.
All of this have left me even more confused.
I dont have any idea how I came across this page, but I really wish to know more, but I dont want the wrong people to teach me.
In Denmark it is less and less acceptable to be religious. Religious people are actually ridiculed in this society, it makes me scared and it makes me feel alone.
Matthew 10:14-15
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
II Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Even though I wished to convert I would not have anyone with me. I will not be able to start a family, because it would be completely impossible to find a husband of this church here.
Im sorry for the length of this, but Im confused, and as I mentioned scared that God will punish me for not doing what he wants me to or believing in what he wants me to.
So basically Im here to learn. What I have understood so far sounds reasonable to me, I truly hope that Im near the ending of my search because this is very tiring for me.
I also have a question, which bible should I read?
