Is there such a thing as Spiritual Growing Pains, cos I think I'm having them, everything I thought to be true is being questioned, and I'm not sure where I stand right now with regards to doctrine and the Bible. I'm fed up with claiming to know this and that and everyone else claims to know this and that and it's different to my this and that, I don't want to hold onto any lies at all, I desperately want to worship God in Spirit and in Truth, I know I have a love for God that I cannot escape and I do confess Jesus wholeheartedly, but with regards to studying scripture I am currently praying for guidance. I am craving truth.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pressing toward the mark
I can understand your point. I am tired of doctrines and theories that seem to have arisen out of nowhere, to the point where I don't even discuss them any more. I hold fast to the simple truths that God created man to have fellowship with Him, that Jesus gave His life for my sins and is my Saviour and that we should love the Lord with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and love our neighbours as ourselves.

and ArohaB, I have been through the same thing....wondering what do I really believe, why havent I seen things happen the way a preacher says they will....does anyone really know 100% doctrine....and have came to the conclusion like BeeHoney posted I know for sure the simple/basics of truth in Jesus Christ and his atonning blood for us, draw nigh to Him and He will draw nigh to you and to spread His Love is the ultimate message!

Thankyou ladies, I'm glad I'm not the only one, I mean what you've stated are the things we know for sure, and I do know that Christ is real and alive and my Saviour, and also I find argueing about doctrine doesn't seem to serve much and I find it's much more exciting to speak in love and see results than anything else, maybe God is leading me to the ultimate Christ experience, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul, and Love your neighbour as yourself. Well with help from Holy Spirit I can at least attempt to do that wherever I go!
