I'll let others compete for the "Most Compassionate and Understanding Christian Award". I'd rather say that you are a grown woman, you know the Word of God and you know better. If you are where you are now, it's of your own design. God does not forsake someone that hungers and thirsts for righteousness. I'm not going to share the depths of hell I have experienced to prove my point. Needless and fruitless pandering is not one of my strong suits. |
Michlow is free to respectfully post her statements of a "questioning" nature on this Apostolic board. You of course are free to respectfully post a reply, but being so dismissive isn't particularly helpful, neither to Michlow nor to anyone who may be lurking and asking the same questions.
I'm not competing for any "awards" but I do find something in Michlow's experiences that are kindred to my own. When I was tossed from my position of Apostolic holiness and right standing, I ended up questioning everything.
The faith that I had been raised to possess seemed to be false if I were to pursue moral righteousness. Yet, remaining "faithful" and "obedient" meant pursuing a course of at least implicit immorality. So, to be righteous I had to leave "the faith."
Those were the circumstances that I was faced with. It was as if God Himself didn't want me to be a part of "His church" and "He" forced me out by demanding that I become unrighteous by staying.
In time, of course, I came to find a bigger God than the one I was limiting myself to previously. But He had to completely destroy my "faith" in that "smaller God" to allow me to find the bigger One.
I don't know what the "bigger God" is doing in Michlow's life right now, but I wouldn't want to mess with Him.
