I once met a Christian one day who talked of hell and I said to him everyone is going to be saved. He said, "You are funny."

I have a quote from a book written by a medical doctor which sums up human nature. "Get into your head that a human being has the freedom to choose what to believe or not to believe. This power to choose is called the Will. The main beliefs between which the Will must choose are that in a given condition you are either secure or insecure...Beliefs are frequently stubborn and obstinate. They become fixed offering resistance to the summons of the Will."

Many feel secure with teachings of error and blindness. They feel insecure with teachings of truth.

The apostle Paul had the resistance to truth about Jesus being the Messiah. God broke that resistance by striking Paul with light from above. Only God can change human resistance. Only God can change his Will.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mee.

I came out of the Pentecostal Church,and was a leader of our Men's group.
The Lord had been working in my heart, and it got to the point that I had to go.

I told the Men at the meeting that The Lord was taking me on a journey and that I
would not be coming back.
The Pastor would sometimes attend our meetings but he was not there that night.
I never told him, thinking I would receive a call from him and find out what is going on.

After a year went by my wife told me that if I was not going back, I should talk with him
and cancel my membership, which I did, my wife still attends.

I have grown more in the Lord since I left then all the years I went to church.
Funny thing is, that God has given me so much love for every body including the
church people.

Now I volunteer, making sandwiches every Sunday and feeding the poor.
The blessings I receive are beyond measure.

I think it's good to be up front with your decision, but take action when you are ready.
Blessings to all.
John.
