Help, I Dunno What I'm Turning Into by Marissacooper(f): 10:18am On Jan 29, 2017 |
I'm very confused about religion and this is not something that just started, I never liked attending church services right from childhood. The thing got worse when I got into the uni, and it's making me depressed. When I got admitted I started attending my church fellowship in school, right from time I never liked the people in my fellowship because I feel they are bunch of hypocrites and very judgemental. They preach the truth but they don't practice it. I never got along with them because of this, I've quarreled with them, I've warned them that religion is a personal affair and how I leave my life is between me and God and it's non of their business. Right now I don't go to church anymore because anytime I go I feel disgusted. I've tried other churches but nothing is working, so many questions tormenting me, I don't wanna turn to an atheist or agnostic. I've been really disturbed and depressed, shutting everyone out of my life. It's really affecting me. Please help, I'm in my late teen and I feel I'm too young to be having these thoughts. |

brandonobi:Don't you think it's bad that I don't go to church? Cos people around me tell me that church gathering is important and staying at is putting a lot of doubt in my mind.. |

My brother, i understand you perfectly well.... You see, that is the problem with religion in Nigeria. It is a shame that Christians have turned Christianity into a religion and that is not what Christ made it to be. I know the kind of Church you are looking for, but i don't think you will find it in Nigeria. You cannot find a 100% Grace-based church in Nigeria. Just find one that still teaches Christ and attend. I left my former church becos of this same issue of Self Righteousness, Being Judgemental & Hypocrisy... Read this article, it addressed your situation, you will love it. https://www.nairaland.com/2601230/jesus-measure-righteousness-joseph-prince Go through my posts and read them also, it will set you free!! |

Marissacooper:a church gathering is only as good as the people in it, if they are stuck up and judgmental then how do they help anyone |

Marissacooper: God loves you and want to show Himself to people like you who want the real God. If you seek for Him, he will show you the way. |

Marissacooper: You are not alone... You should look inward for God and not in the churches. God is with you and inside of you. |
