Questions about this forum

I don't see any specific doctrine listed in the purpose statement. I don't want to post here I don't fit in. Allow me to share my beliefs so you can understand where im coming from. I hate theology. I believe in simple doctrine without trying to discuss things that we don't have answers to. Such questions and debates only starts quarrels. I don't go to church and probably wont ever. Its not that I don't believe in Church but I have my own personal reasons. I still believe I can live by faith and follow the Lord regardless though. I also believe many Churches may be teaching doctrine that I might not agree with, according to how I understand doctrine, so that's another factor in why I don't attend Church but not the main factor.

I believe in love and that love is the best thing to study in scripture. I believe that love is the reason we are commanded the things we are commanded to do. I believe in sexual morality, honesty, humility and love. I believe in holiness, holiness is all of the above mentioned things but is also to be separate from the world and its politics as well, in my opinion.

I believe in perseverance no matter what trials we face. I don't believe in condemning people with mental problems and I understand what its like to have problems like that as well. I believe a person should admit they have such problems, and that they can grow in a deeper relationship with God through it. I don't believe in rebuking demons and all that stuff. I believe in faith instead. Faith that God will help anyone who seeks him. I believe that sowing to the spirit and enduring Gods chastening is needed to fight the good fight of faith. This is my personal mission in my battle of faith. I believe that brotherly love is very helpful too.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your love and faith with us.
As I've lived my faith longer I can come to see Christian is very simple, love God and love people.
I go to a church that I don't agree with entirely. Probably like you there isn't a church that I can agree with 100%. But since God love these people I do as well.
Since you are about love, I'm curious as to why you can't love them enough to hang out with other Christians?

Your question isn't so easy to answer. I could go into detail but I don't think its wise to do so. I will say that is has nothing to do with by inability to love others. If you notice the forum rules for this forum ask that we not try to get others into a church.

From my experience there are all kinds of ways to love people that doesn't involve going to their church let alone making a commitment to a specific church.

Love is a deep subject. Its the hardest thing to do because it involves things like turning the other cheek. The scriptures say that love suffers long. I don't believe love is simply a matter of accepting peoples doctrine. It can be that, but it can also be the opposite of that as well.
