Quite a few years ago, I was discipled by someone but later I felt some things were really off.
I did try and speak on one occasion to them, but was told I ought to forgive.
So much time has passed, but honestly I still think that relationship and some things about the teachings I was exposed to have left me with difficulties for a long time.
The person left the church and so did I. I tried to speak to a church elder after wards but to be honest I didn't agree with their stance which was that their church was apostolic. (It was an independent revivalist church).
I caved in when I spoke to the new elder and omitted to say I was still angry.
The thing is, this has been a wound I feel that I've been left with. I haven't successfully settled anywhere since. It was my first real experience of church. I heard of others who were hurt there too.
How can i resolve this?
