• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I dont even care anymore. Im tired, weary, obsessed with finding the truth of the bible. Almost exactly a year ago i went through a depression that almost made me kill myself. When i came to my senses i got up and went to talk to my mother and ever since then have been looking for the truth. Now i want to know what Jesus really taught. Im looking into Eastern orthodoxy now, but i think im going into depression again. Almost everywaking moment im thinking of religion and whats right. People on the EO forum say i need to stop obsessing, but I just dont know anymore. The more i think of it the more I get sad. I even swore to myself once i wouldnt let god have me till i shared christ with as many as i could. Now it seems silly. But i want to get my facts right. Im even hoping god doesnt look at what a person does but decides who goes to heaven by whats in a persons heart. But the more i think about this stuff the worse i seem to feel. :sigh: :(

I don't think that looking for the truth is obsessing. I think it is looking for the truth and som of us have an instinctual need and drive for that truth and that bond with God.... It says in the Bible that the Lord is the reader of hearts and that we will be judged by our hearts and it's desire not but the things we have done in our life, because none of us are truly worthy of the Lord as we are all sinners and he is the one without sin.... In order to be truly like him we too would have to be without sin but then we would be him and there would be no need for God to redeem us from our sins in the first place.... And what a wonderful God he is that he has given us each the opportunity to choose for ourselves to be redeemed from sin, and how we do that is to simply except the Lord as our Saviour ....and then to follow his example...

Let me give you some solid advice that was given to me, read the Bible for yourself and ask God everyday to help you understand what you are reading so that you may understand what HE wants you to see and not what Man wants you to see.... From there then you can then have a better understanding of God and the Bible and maybe be able to choose which religion you may want to go with... it doesn't have to be complicated...
