I went to a Baptist church, well because I broke
down crying one night and told them I love Jesus and that I have been saved,
after that they started putting pressure on me to get baptised, which is
fair enough, but I smoke and have a problem with alcohol and I got told that
once you are baptised, you have to stop smoking and never be able to drink
again because Jesus wouldn't like it, I was trying real hard to
give up both and was told that
I cant have been saved because I have not stopped smoking etc . all I have
to do is read the bible and the answers are there,
Well any way I started losing all my confidence and felt so worthless that I
must be a horrible person because of my problems and I'm a horrible sinner,
I felt that I was not good enough to be in this Church in Gods presence, I
would come home from Church every Sunday and be crying my eyes out, my
husband said God does not want you to feel like this he knows the real
you and he know you are trying and that everyone is a sinner including the
people at my Church, they were so patronizing so that is why I do not go now
because of this one bad experience, its really put me of.
Jesus loves us all regardless of our faults.
Why do people have church think they have the right to tell you how to live
your life when they are not perfect themselves.I really do not understand
this.
So nowI dont go to church and say my prayers in my home and feel much better because no one can judge me now only god.
