I totally understand what you mean. I too was raised Christian, went to a private school from Kindergarten to eighth grade, and went to Church Sundays, Tuesdays(1st-4th grade), Thursdays(5th-8th grade), and every first Friday (church and monthly awards), then every May we had May Crowning. From 1999-2009 I didn't go to church at all. I was spiritual and believed in God, and could see him working in my life. I go to a Baptist and a Pentecostal church, but truthfully I find Pentecostal more of my beliefs, cause 98% of the time you can feel the presence of the Lord and Holy Spirit. In saying all this I feel that kids get burnt out from Catholic church cause in all honesty the catholic church doesn't teach what Jesus is about. It's more about doing good, and the history of Christianity. They don't focus that the only way into heaven is the blood of Jesus. As kids go into their teen years, most find they never knew Jesus, just the teachings of the church, and they drop God from their lives.  |

I have a Personal relationship with God, His Son Jesus Christ by Faith-Believing, I am Saved and have been a Christian for 36 years, that's almost all my life....a relationship is not a religion although I do follow the Doctrinal teachings of Jesus Christ's 1st Disciples and attend The Church of God, it is Pentecostal, Apostolic...here in Kentucky; where I attend church, no one is judged criticized or "put-down" for tattoos, piercings etc etc..... Too many times it has been instilled in others from such a young age that God and His Son Jesus is on The Throne looking down from Heaven with an Angry look or an Accusing finger......So not true!....God cannot be any thing then what He is LOVE.....Though He Convicts Whom He Loves.....But when He does we are Glad......only the adversary brings condemnation, feelings of guilt, rejection and other negativity......there's so much more to a personal relationship and Faith-walk with The Lord.....but God being Angry, Unforgiving, He is not.....He is Righteous, Holy and Just and will not ever tolerate Sin.....His holy Word says He Searches the Earth to find One who Loves Him, who is Obedient in His Precepts....He Delights in Our Love of Him...in Glorifying, Thankfulness and Praise to Him in All things....I Pray that I may always walk in His ways.....Take/Care  |
