[QUOTE="TzephanYahu, post: 74677507, member: 412979"] Shalom friend, It sounds like you have a lot weighing you down. But I feel the same heaviness from you as I would expect to find in an unbeliever OR someone on the verge of a breakthrough! Noe, consider this important point: When the Messiah walked on earth, He had disciples and followers. The disciples applied themselves to the Messiah's teachings as students whereas the followers on the outskirts mainly followed Him for signs, wonders, miracles, healing and food. The disciples sought what they could [I]learn from Him[/I], the followers sought after what they could [I]get from Him[/I]. This is how it is today as well with many Christians being followers rather than disciples. Despite what they might say, their actions speak louder than words and they are easy enough to recognise. Be careful not to fall into the category of follower! I know you want to "win" but what if Yahweh told you that you would have to lose in order to truly win? Think upon this deeply. I also get the impression that Christianity has been mis-sold to you. You may have been told the Gospel and that if you believe you'll go to Heaven and then left alone to figure the rest out - is that near to the truth? If so, don't worry, it's definitely not too late to become a disciple. But why become a disciple? What's the point? Isn't it just hard work? It can be at first. But trust me, it is a life with clarity, joy, peace, love and life and devoid of confusion, depression, fear and darkness. However, in order to get there you need to push through the crowd of followers and join the disciples, close to the Messiah to hear and do what He says. Therein lies eternal life. Have you read much of the Bible? Did you get stuck or confused over anything in particular? If you would prefer to answer privately, feel free to PM me. Love & Shalom [/QUOTE]
