You got that completely wrong. I did not go the "hidden esoteric knowledge" route. I researched claims, and many were false. I did this in full faith of God too. I always kept him central. I researched because I wanted to make sure I wouldn't or wasn't decieved. Why do you think your not deceived? Because you were taught what you believe? Your doctrine is correct and others false? How do you know?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28601458 You didn't trust God OP, you had doubts, you said it yourself in the bolded part above. I don't belong to any church OP, and I know that I'm not deceived because the Lord Himself teaches me, guides me, and gives me faith and understanding in all things that I need to know. It's not about doctrine, it's about a relationship with Him, a deeply personal relationship. A deep love, trust and adoration. It's not about believing so much, but rather knowing. Every cell in my body knows that He is real. You never had that because if you did, you would not have been able to doubt and then fall away like you did. They weren't doubts in God, I wanted to make sure that although I followed whole heartedly, that I pleased him in every way. That I didn't believe anything false about god or his word and then taught others false things. I did used to "walk by spirit". I prayed a lot. I did a lot of stuff in faith. You might have "done alot" OP, but you didn't feel Him because if you have ever felt Him, you would never be able to turn your back on Him. Your faith was shallow, alot of "doing stuff" instead of "feeling Him" and building a real personal relationship with Him. There was no trust and love on your part. That's what happened. Now you try and find solace in turning your back on Him, and I guarantee you, you'll never find real peace in that. There really is no such thing as an atheist because we are all connected to God, and we all rely on Him for every breath we take. You don't know that you're connected to Him until you're disconnected. It's almost like breathing, you don't realize that you need oxygen to live until you don't have it anymore. Then, you know it's true, but it's too late because that oxygen is gone. I hope you come back before you take that last breath because after that, it's too late. Who are you to judge the OP like that and speak like you know what went on in his mind and heart? You have no place to do so.
