I would like to ask you what is says about me that I am loosing interest in Christian Forums, Church and Christianity in general. I guess i am a t a place in my life where all of this seems irrelevant and a waste of time. I don't see it as helpful or useful above and beyond teaching use to be good and relate to people in a loving and kind way. While Christianity helps make sense of the world. It no longer help me with my life. It seems like chasing God as been a big waste of time. I have spent 30 years chasing God and i am not better of for it. I cannot say I would recommend it to others either. It seem my passion just has died or evaporated. God has disappeared. I am more confused then ever and I am to to point that I don't care anymore, I am indifferent to this whole subject, It seems like God is indifferent to me or just not interested in me, he just doesn't care. so why should I care anymore? when I come to CF I am not interested in what is being said, seems pointless.Many of the converstion on CF are just pointless and immature. When I go to Church I just don't want to be there, seems pointless and not helpful, when I read my bible & pray seems pointless and not helpful. Just saying that is where I am at. don't know what to do about this don't know why it is happening and suggestions.
I would suggest a problem with
root. Remember the parable of the sower? It describes everyone:
Mark 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Now, what I would suggest is that your disinterest is being caused because you're not being fed. You've mistaken what we might call "worldly Christianity" or "manmade Christianity" (or, as I've heard it called by some "Churchianity") for the true worship of God, and have not been fed with understanding, and the knowledge of God. Everything in the scripture actually talks about things we all know to be true, and is practical information: but this truth is obscured by the misunderstandings of men, who further an understanding which is "vanity" and a "chasing after the wind":
It's because of this that people become disallusioned, that things like, atheism, exist; why people look around confused and saying "I don't understand"; it is because of poor teachers, who teach things that are not, as though they are; and confound the people: and so that which was is that which will be: Jeremiah 10:21, Jeremiah 12:10, Jeremiah 23:2, Ecclesiastes 1:9, Jeremiah 16:19
For instance, when you say "no longer help me with my life" this shows me that you don't understand, or, you would understand that your life is exactly being helped at every moment, and is why it is where it is. But it happens such as this: Psalms 32:9: so you see, you are going to be steered where you need to go, in order to get understanding; for as long as you have no understanding, you're like a mindless beast (this is not meant as an insult, but as an analogue): so everything is you being manipulated, even now. It's because of the lack of root; this is what you need: a depth of understanding which you weren't given, because there was no understanding in the ones who delivered the word to you.
But the good news is, you will be given that understanding when God purposes it be given; as only Christ can open the seals: Isaiah 29:10-12, Revelation 5:5, Luke 24:45, 1 Timothy 2:3-4: just wait for it, it will come in the appointed season: Job 14:14.
