I'm 17, I was raised on Christianity, ive decided for the time being to stay away from religion but now I feel like something is missing, I dont wanna go back to religion but I also don't wanna stay this way do yall have any advice? (Pls ping me in refrence to this(

I'm not sure what advice we can give

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ I think you need to sit back and just think for a little bit about why you feel like something is missing in your life. Maybe talk to a close friend or adult about how you are feeling. And if you have an old pastor that you can talk with even if you don't want to go back to Christianity he could still help you figure out what you are going through.

If you ever need to talk just ping me and I will try to help the best I can.

Thx @Bradyn

No problem.

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ I would be happy to talk with you later once I’m available, maybe an hour or so, more or less

Can be PMs or here, whichever you prefer

I'm in school rn @CoolGuard

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ Alright, feel free to msg or @ me when you’re available, and if I’m free I’d be happy to talk

I think this quote is applicable. "If you wonder why, it probably is"

I’m losing brain cells reading chaz’s posts

Oof lol

😂

I don’t agree with him on several things, but let’s not talk bad about people

If we substitute his name for Biden is it ok?

I respect his opinions it’s just annoying that he repeats the same thing over and over no matter what you say to him

Mmm

Was he still going on about Socrates?

That and the gay argument

@President Elect Adams which one

those were two different discutions

You have brought up the same argument about gays many times

because it was never refuted with evidence

I know you are not a Christian and I respect that but you are also not a biblical scholar

Many times people told you what Paul meant with homosexuals but you seemed to not listen and keep repeating your talking points

no, but I have looked at the passages and their wording

What about the context around it?

Leviticus 18:22 "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable." the words of god have been argued for ever

@President Elect Adams and thank you for phrasing your grievence in such a respectful way

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ I definitely think you should find a church that resonates with you. The Holy Spirit is longing for interaction in faith (hence your feeling). Find a church that accepts you and, if it matters to you, accepts everyone. Because that’s what Christianity should be; that’s what Jesus wanted🤘🏼.

Chaz the bible is not a clearly written book. The people who have told you what those verses are trying to convey, are people that have meditated on these verses for many hours, days, weeks. You cannot say you understand black and white what the verse is saying just from reading it over and over. You need to meditate on it.

@chaz @President Elect Adams let’s not get into a debate about religion and instead focus on what the question was and help a fellow member.

It's a long process. And it takes dedication and time to understand God's word. Some verses are easier understood than others but that doesnt mean they dont take meditation or thought.

ok, point taken @Osha19 but it is still evidence for my argument, following the word or god, not what has been infered by wiser men before me

@Eagle aight I'm ready who we helping

Chaz have you taken time to meditate and properly read the bible and those verses you use to counter?

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥

^^

Have you thought deeper into their meanings?
