I've said this before. You need some serious talks with a professional counsellor.

For 20 years I lived a lie, my parents lied to me about Santa, the Toothfairy, and many other things.
But how do I know that I'm not a false convert?
Apparently to some I am for not believing in a flat earth and bla bla bla and so on.
I think you need to stop listening to the opinions of men and start reading the Bible on your own with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will never guild you in the wrong direction and He will not confuse you. The only way to achieve peace is to give it to the Lord and He will show you the narrow gate that you so desperately seek.For 20 years I lived a lie, my parents lied to me about Santa, the Toothfairy, and many other things.
This is one major reason it was so hard to take any supernatural event seriously as I got older the lies have been constantly fed.
Evolution, and the like.
Now I am in a constant traumatic episodes of "what if I am still in the illusion"?
What if my personal faith in Jesus is an illusion and I am believing in vain. What if I am a false convert and don't know it?
I need to find out.
I feel at much more peace. I had a break down today and cried out to Jesus to help me.
I don't feel bad anymore I feel good.
I just need him to hold off the constant stream of fiery darts. I don't know how much more fiery darts I will be able to take.
I need the shield of faith.
When Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life he said it to you.For 20 years I lived a lie, my parents lied to me about Santa, the Toothfairy, and many other things.

What if is a big question, but you'll work it out. Everyone who looks for the substance of thing's will find substance.For 20 years I lived a lie, my parents lied to me about Santa, the Toothfairy, and many other things.

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
That's where I got that from.
Yes, I believe in one God. And that he is fully God and fully Man.
I don't think the Trinity is claiming there are 3.
I used to think Modalism was true.
The first week I got saved, then found out God was a Trinity.
What else will I find out?
And what if I am still wrong?
Hmm if it was me.. I would repent.. for anything as in my doubt about HIS word. For believing a lie. I then would forgive anyone and all that told me lies. My Father freely forgives me 24/7.. always. So as He did me I will do for all. I then REJOICE! For whom the SON sets free is free indeed.
I then do as the word says.. I let go of the past.. FORGIVE! And I would not make it about ME! Its ALL HIM. I die daily so HE can live through me. If I make it about me.. then He gets no glory.. and as He said.. no man will glory in His sight. All glory all praise ALL goes to Him
OK, so what happened around age 20? Because you did say 20 years.I will make my best guess.
I believe and think Santa is not real same with the other stuff like evolution.
And I believe and think I found out at 3rd grade.
I don't know if knowing is possible. Except for me exclusively.

It's a journey. Take it. I started out a Unitarian Christian who doubted the canon of Scripture way beyond what was helpful. Went through many, many phases. Let go. A little. Trust God and let Him guide you through.I used to think Modalism was true.
