Nice to hear. To be honest, if you talked to your agnostic friends and the conversation was interesting, its no doubt they have some belief in God or some religious related issues, they just dont like to think its 100% true and confirmed, because the whole Old Testament and New testament could have been written by normal human beings, not by God. But some parts of whats written in the scriptures, could be a message by God in some way, so it depends how you look at things, I guess. There arent many Christians in Israel and honestly not many religious people around the city I live at in Israel, so I dont have irl people to talk to about religious issues, or ask religious questions like I did here.

Overall I'm glad I joined even if I havent become a very religious person, I'm still interested in the subject and I'm also glad I got answers to my questions. Being agnostic for me is the best decision I made in my life, it means I dont jump to any conclusions about anything, I stay in a neutral position when it comes to religions. I was just really curious about Jesus and all that, because Jews in Israel here dont say he didnt exist, they just express their lack of belief in him and the whole "Jesus is the messiah" thing as something stupid Christians made up, which is sad to hear in a way.

Chabad is everywhere in Israel, so presumably they are in your town too. I would contact them. They are warm and welcoming and available to answer your questions.

In all honesty, to get to the heart of the truth, it is best to have this conversation with God Himself. Follow Him and His leading you into all truth. Then it all will make sense. Everything on earth is in a verbal battle between truth and fiction with no guidance other than God Himself. Put your finger on Rev 3:20 and ask for that one-on-one meeting. Prepare yourself by learning about all those who have been in His Presence, so that you can better understand what you will experience, and what you will need to meet Him.

Read about Moses' encounter, and see what is required to be in His Presence, study the sanctuary and the steps it takes to come into the Most Holy. Read about Isaiah, when he encountered God. There are many more stories of those in scripture who met God and lived to tell about it. It will help you understand, that He does exist, and He will meet you if you seek Him with all your heart. Well worth the spiritual trip.

He is truly Most Holy. That is not some title placed on objects in temples or churches, it is His very Presence. Sin can not exist in His Presence, it must be covered by His Blood. Sin will melt like candle wax in the presence of heat. If sin is on or in you, and you are unprepared to separate yourself from identifying with sin, you will find yourself taken away by that very sin. That is why the forgiveness of sins is so important. It doesn't matter if the sin is a "little" sin or a "secret" sin, it is exposed before God. When the Lord presents a sin before your mind, ask Him to forgive you for it, to take it away from your mind, all the roots, branches, and seeds of it. May He blot the sins from your Book of Life, Cast them from your mind and heart, and give you a new heart. May He explain sins the way He sees them so that you can better understand the odious wicked sin in its true light so that you abhor it too. I know some sins are especially sticky to your soul. It will take much prayer and effort to be an overcomer with them. Satan knows when he is losing you and will come full blast, with serious temptations, serious bombardments of doubt, and holding onto God during this storm is the only way you are going to get through this. It is worth it.

I will be praying for you.
