But I am not good enough, yet, to be able to do that. I carry all my sins upon my back, as punishment.
The burden has become to much to bear any longer; hence my thread.
I just spoke with a Pastor who’s church looked good on paper. My interview with him went well. He stated they are strictly Biblical. I asked about allowing the homosexuals as “pastors”. He then asked me “what does the Bible say about homosexuality”? I answered “He stated it is detestable to Him”.
The Pastor then went into scripture regarding that subject and they DO NOT allow it, as the Bible states.
I am going to their service on Sunday, he told me to come earlier and go to the hospitality suite for visitors. He told me to seek him out. I told him about my Bible studies w/ the JW’s and that is still the Bible I use. He told me to stay away from them because they are a cult and to throw out my Bible.
I said I couldn’t throw away my Bible, but could he do it for me. He told me to bring it with me and he would look it over. If it needs to be thrown out, he would do it for me and give me one of theirs. I believe they use the King James Version, but I could be wrong. There was so much info being passed back and forth my head was spinning!
He also stated that they do not believe the body and blood of Christ (they call it the last supper)is literal and told me to read the 1st Corinthians which explains it.
I read it and am very confused and have NO idea what I read (I will certainly tell him that part). He also stated if I believe the body and blood is literal I should seek the Catholic Church. I told him the problems I had with it (praying to Mary, Saints and statues).
I have a feeling I will be staying after the service for a true one on one. As I have stated before, a lot of what I believe can be wrong.....which I have a feeling a lot will be.
I just need to find that crooked, unlit path that is almost impossible to stay upon.
AMEN!!
I, too, have had an image that I could NOT get rid of.
But God did it for me!
