what church do i join Sherry asked, comments added





Sherry asked this question:


I was raised christian but not any more. dont know what od about my childs religion.?

I am pregnant and ive been thinking about how my parents raised me christian and how am i going to raise my child.
When i was growing up i would prey everynight with my dad next to me and i went to sunday school till i was about 11 and then around 15 i started study and learning about other religions and relized that christian is just what my parents raised me to believe in, but i learned by my self that i dont believe in that, i just went along with what my parents did. i did believe it until i started seeing things in a different view point.
so now im trying to decide if i should raise my child they way my parents did. i was a very happy child but i would be teaching my child somthing that me and my fiance do not believe in is that wrong?
should i raise him/her with the beliefs i have or should i just keep it christian
i know alot of you are going to say what you think of your religiions and how they are the best or w/e im just curius if i shoud raise mychild with what i think


i replied:



i dont know about boycotting all religion(s). that is is wrong and undeniably unrighteous.

i havent been to church in about 5 yrs.

but i was forced out of church because of witchcrafts and sorceries. it didnt matter which church i joined. whether it was baptist or Lds or presybyterian or lutheran. i finally came to the conclusion that it was much better and less evil NOT to go to church. I imagined at one point that i may have been disfellowshipped or excommunicated, but if it was SO! it was done UNrighteouslly because i never gave a defense on my behalf. i beleived i was a pious man of faith and righteousness though i made a few minor mistakes.

ANYWAY. i do know there is a God in heaven, my testimony is always i am a witness of jesus christ. i made the covenant and i prayed and fasted, and i was given the righteous desire of my heart. The only 2 greatest pleasures in life is SEX and Seeing Jesus. Sex is second place.

dont give up on christianity at the very last resort, it is a greater Mistake to forsake God and righteousness and the only begotten son.

and do NOT raise you Son to be completely biased against christianity. in my opinion. the correct authority is the best church. but they all Claim un-apostatized authority. whether it is greek orthodox or Russian orthadox or catholic or LDS or baptist. The truth is wrapped up in all of these. but so are untruths... "in all of these".

The greatest truth i know: is that there is a God. dont give up faith... i have never lost faith but there are powers that be in this world and all around us that wear down anyone's faith. Look at job.


addendum:
I spent my whole life studying and bearing my testimony. as much as i could, i made a vow of poverty when i was about 9 or 10 because i saw it on tv in the 70's. i was not born a saint but i was baptized and thought i could become a saint. the balance of my life is to bejudged by God, not by man. but one thing i do not lie about Nor am i deceived or beguiled, seems to be the vision of the sun of righteousness. There are greater visions than this! but i realize i never achieved the status of sanctification to get justified to receive such visions. i have been threatened terrorized, hunted, stalked, tortured, beguiled on many levels. The ONE great thing I ever experienced was the presence of Jesus in an ObE. I believed I studied the scriptures honestly and taught everything openly. I know i didnt understand all things as i taught them but i did know various perspectives of doctrines and i thought i chose the Right correct principles as i grew older.

I never Sinned any great sin after I gave my life to christ. I tried very faithfully to keep myself. but as joseph smith describes foibles in life i am also impacted of them. there were a few sins that might be sins unto death but i dont know. i had repented of them so perfectly that i had forgotten that i had ever done them. and when i did remember them, i stopped having faith in myself and stopped being active in the public. the internet is all i have at this point.

i lived in my car for 2 years because of the oppression of satanism and because of this i quit my one good job.
what i saw is like the painting of jesus
