i have a far too open mind to be "christian". No you don't. God can change anyone's heart or mind if you we ask him to. Guess who recently became a Christian? Norma McCorvey. That's "Jane Roe" from Roe V. Wade in case you didn't know. God could change her heart. That's pretty heavy stuff. why are we given a mind that thinks. is not thinking the essence of being human? Yeh. It is. Sadly haha. We all have free will. God gave us the right to choose to love him. He did that from the beginning of time. He made us as companions. But he also has to be praised. God gave us the choice of loving him or forsaking him. There are only two choices. why do we have to do things a certain way. can we not love god and please him without following a set of rules? God is not about rules. A relationship with him is not about following rules. It's about loving him. And if you have a close relationship with him you just know what's right and wrong. It's hard to explain I guess. why must i always question. why can't i just follow blindly. am i wrong here? Even Jesus questioned God. Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?", which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" God wants you to question him. If you don't, how will you grow?
In the end, you have to do what you think is right. As much as I'd like to tell you everything will be okay and guide you by the hand, I can't do that. And I shouldn't do that. And it wouldn't help you if I did that. So I'll just say that you are in my prayers. I'm not saying that in the mediocre way... you know how sometimes you say it, but it's just formality? That's not the case. I talk to God about you. And I will continue to. Just read. And pray. That's all the advice I can give you. I wish I could say the magic words and make all your doubts dissapear, but I can't.
