I'm Charlotte, I was raised a christian and became wiccan when I became best friends with a few pagans in high school. I lost touch with god and I am simply trying to find my way back. I recently started to read the bible for the first time. I have heard little bits from it but until now I have never really given it a go from cover to cover.

My biggest fear is that I will never be aloud into the kingdom of heaven, I'm worried that unless I change my way of living that I will never be deserving. I am also concerned that the it is drawing closer to the rapture, I fear that the world we live in is corrupt and full of things that will stop us from reaching god.

A lot of my friends rarely take me seriously, and because I have recently become more interested in the bible I feel like a lot of my friends are loosing interest in me. I am no longer the cool rebel pagan they looked up to, I now believe in unpopular ideas like evolution is made up and that the world is only about 6000 years old.

I am looking for someone who shares similar opinions with myself, and someone who can help me understand the world just a little bit better. And of course, I am also looking for Jesus.

You have come to the right place! It can be difficult submitting yourself to Christ. It is a part of our flesh where we DON'T want to submit, but inside we know we really should because the life we currently live is no where compared to the live we will live with Christ in our hearts. I do not know your particular belief (Baptist, Catholic, etc.), but I will say this: Having a relationship with God does mean our lifestyles will change, and we have to change the how we live. We can't call ourselves Christian's if we are doing the exact opposite of what Christian's should be doing. I know your fear all too well; I had it for many years, but trust me when I say this: Your old life style is absolutely NOTHING comparable to what God has for you. Accept Christ into your heart and ask for forgiveness, and you will come into His kingdom.

Somehow we are worthy of Him and His love, and kingdom. How? No clue! But we are. As you read more of the Bible you will draw closer to Him, and He will draw to you. Do not let fear get in the way of having a relationship with God or becoming a Christian. As for your friends, they are not the kind you want to be around! The actual COOL kids are the followers of the Lord. ;)

Wow, you definitely have an interesting story/situation. Congratulations on initiating your potential repentance. While it may seem hard and uncertain, repentance can be one of the most beautiful things imaginable.

I know what it's like to not be taken seriously for my faith. My university was somewhat hostile to any sort of belief. You may not be a cool pagan, but you do seem strong for following your passion. I hope that you can make new quality friends that support you in all that you do. Personally, I don't believe the world is 6000 years old, but I think it can be wrong to judge those who believe so. However, I'm sure you'll find people who agree with you on this.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to CF. We offer various forums for both serious discustion and fellowship. As for not being allowed into the kingdom, provided that you repeat of your sins, claim and follow Jesus He will forgive you no matter your past. As for the issue with your friends the Bible says that that will happen when you seek Jesus the best thing to do is to pray for them and seek out like-minded people.

God's gift of grace is free. If you cooperate with that grace, you will be welcome in God's kingdom. He is not a score keeper, looking for things we do wrong. Jesus came to save us ...help us...gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Don't worry... God bless, and welcome to the forums. :)
