Hello! I am not sure if I would definitely describe myself as a new Christian, but new in the sense that I have only recently begun to take my faith more seriously.
My question is if other people have experienced difficulties accepting some parts of the Bible as truth?
In the past, if I came across something in the Bible that I didn't agree with or understand, I dismissed it. I used the Bible to justify existing preconceptions instead of allowing the Word to change me.
As I am delving deeper into the Bible and my faith, I am trying not to close myself off to any part of God's Word. I am going through a process of radical acceptance and trusting God's word and that He has our best interest at heart always. My ego still gets in the way but it becomes easier as I practice acceptance and keeping my heart and mind open.
Just wondering if anyone has had similar struggles at points in life, and what that looked like for you?
Thanks!
