Hello Landover Baptist Church,
My name is Nickole, am a twenty year old female, and am not married yet. I have an unfortunate confession to make, something that I know you might rightly scorn me for: I am a Jew. More to the point, though, I was a Jew, religiously at least. For the first eighteen years of my life, I've been a devout, devoted member of the Jewish faith, but once I was free from my parents I started to feel uncomfortable with my faith. I love and respect my parents very much, but after leaving the house, I can't help but to feel as though what they believe in, and what I was raised to believe in, is wrong.
I've thought about this for two years now and I'm ready to renounce my faith in Judaism. I've felt lost for the past few years, not knowing what to do, but then it came to me one night when I was praying about a month ago. You see, the loss of one's faith, willingly or not, is still a tragic experience and I prayed to God for help. The next day I went to the book store and was browsing through it, just wandering about. That's when I noticed a precariously placed book on the shelf, as though someone had haphazardly returned it to its spot without caring much for it.
I went up to the book and picked it up, intending on returning it to a nice, resting position. As I was about to do that, though, I looked at it. It was a bible. Feeling as though this was a sign, or maybe it was just coincidence, I bought the book and have been reading it since.
I've been feeling a lot better now and recognize Jesus Christ as God's son (though I feel bad for denying his existence all this time). I still need help, though. This is all too much. It's life-changing. I don't know what church to go to yet, my city has so many, but I know that I want to go to a baptist church. There's no way I can stand the Papists, even if I want to become a Christian. All their rituals seem sinful and the rituals, their Pope, and their canonized saints seems to be idolatry. As Jonah 2:8 tells us, we cannot pray to idols.
While I have not decided on a particular church yet, I still want help to continue down my path towards becoming a True Christian and I was hoping that you kind folks at Landover would help me with that. My favorite bible verse is John 1:14. Having found Jesus after all this time and denial, this verse speaks to me on a very personal level.
Thank you all.
