Hi brothers and sisters. I used to be a strong Christian, then I got sick and that took my faith away. I have a what’s called schizoaffective disorder which is a mixture of schizophrenia and bipolar, I had it for around 19,6 years. Anyway that’s a long story.
Now, my faith came back in what Jesus Himself said, but I am not sure if Paul was the real disciple. Maybe he is. Lot of people say that some of his teachings contradicted some of Yeshuas teachings, in other places he says what Yeshua already said. I just need some insight from you in regards to Paul and in general the book of acts. Why do you think they are true? In the Old Testament the story of Samson and Dilailah doesn’t make sense, what’s it supposed to mean that his strength was in his har? In the book of Mathew Yeshua already prophecies about the end days, so why do we need the book of Revelations?
In the past I found Christian forums to be the best places to discuss Christianity. When I go to YouTube to see Christian videos I normally watch street preachers and I tend to listen to lay Christians. Jesus said don’t call anyone rabi for you have one teacher and you are all brethren. When it comes to churches, which church should I go with if I’m not supposed to call anyone Rabi? I yearn to be with other Christians but I can’t find a Church that I can entirely agree with. Plus, my understanding is that church are believers, not institution, and that Yeshua is the head of the church, not some so called ordained minister.
I also haven’t been baptised yet. I live in Melbourne, Australia, so if anyone is from Melbourne on the forum please recommend a church. I think finding one that’s closest to my beliefs and just go with that is the only option I’m left with.
Well, that’s all, I’m more than interested in your response please!
Thanks
