Hi everybody, I'm a new member and new to Christianity... Well, not entirely true. I was raised Southern Baptist, in the Ozarks in Arkansas. Now this is where things get wiley. At 14 (God forgive me) I found wicca, or well a psudo version of it, but it was enough to start me down a poisonous path. I moved from that to what is called Celtic Reconstructionism. Worse yet some of us worked on reconstructing a Druid's way. Not healthy! This went on until just a few yrs ago, when I at last saw the light of God - Amen! Now I struggle to find God's forginess, as i try to recall my sins, for they are many and varied! I want to one day get passed the part of my brain that demands proof, to cure my blindness to a world of color and light, to find my mother's unshakable faith in Christ, and i hope posting among you will help me find myself in Christ's glory once more. Thank you for reading. Bye for now!

Welcome to the home of the varied. Might I suggest you don't overthink the past. You used to follow your own will, now you follow the will of the Father. What's done is done providing you don't find reasons to once again put your will ahead of His, and return to self justification.

looks like he is working that out for the Good. Now you are educated in these beliefs and can help those in them. not only that, you will see a link in these ancient beliefs that have many similarities in the story line, with the story of the bible, being that ancient man all had the hope of the coming one or some hero of old, and you can use those links to enlighten those under those beliefs of the true message found in God's word.

Thank you for the testimony. Praise You Father God for getting us to your loving arms. Have faith my friend and when doubt enters push it out of your mind with prayer and scripture.

With forgiveness He gives us victory over them too. Praise You Father God for your gift is complete in Christ Jesus.
