I'm So Frustrated

--- Quote from: Origen II ---The saddest part is that in all my struggles so far...I have yet to find a group of individuals that believe as I do. I am so alone. Only I and my fiance believe these things and I am scared that I may be leading her into something that will hurt her more than anything else...

We are just so alone in all this. The lot of people around us are all eternal suffering proponents and of Christendom, and I and my fiance feel like aliens. I just have no support and I feel like I'm falling more and more into sin each day because of my anger and depression.

What can I do? Please help us.

You aren't alone - you've found this group, and most of us believe as you do.  :)  While it might not be the same as having face-to-face meetings with likeminded people, it's better than nothing. At least you and your fiancee have each other; most of us have no one nearby who believes as we do. I don't say that to complain--just stating a fact.

I've gone through the fire of being labeled a heretic for even suggesting that Jesus would actually consider saving the whole world. Just last night I tried to talk to my mother when she brought up the idea of people going to hell where they'll never have a chance to be saved. Again, I tried to show her, but she says she'll just go by what the Bible says. It's like talking to the wall.

Hold on to what you know, and remember that only God can open the eyes of the blind--both physically and spiritually. Until He does, they just won't see it.

Please don't get angry at them. You wouldn't get angry at blind people who can't see the beauty of this physical world, would you? They can open their eyes as wide as possible and still not see a thing. It's the same thing spiritually. They'll never see God's truths unless God opens their eyes.

Thats a great analolgy Sandy, liked that a lot.  Dennis is right to say you are blessed in having a partner believe as you do.  I worry about that aspect.  if i lose my "girlfriend" to the church, then that couild present all sorts of challenges.  Her mum is a strict member of the firm and no doubt she will encourage her.

I havent met an=yone who beleives like i do.  APart from the guy i bought a Concordant bible from about 2 yrs ago and that was over the phone.   So, Origen, dont fret, id say.  I keep stum about what i beleive, unless it comes up in conversation - and the only people that l;ove my scriptural views on it are -

Atheists

shibboleth:
I know one woman who lives 80 miles from me. We talk on the phone every 2-3 months. Other than her, I don't know anyone else who I can talk to about the deep things of God. Except you all, of course.
One day I woke up just crying my heart out because I so longed to have someone I could talk to face-to-face. The Lord kind of quickened in my spirit that I still need to grow up in Him and I need to forsake all others before He is going to do that with me.
Then I thought, maybe we could move south where Ray and Mike are. There are more believers down there. Then the Lord said He needs His people all over the country and world, not just in one corner of it. So, as the tv show says"Father Knows Best."
I appreciate the forum and God graciously allowing me to find it so I can have some type of fellowship.

My pastor back home used to quote that all the time. He jokingly said "whatsoever state" even means Pennsylvania (where we lived at the time)! ha!

Origen II:
I am truly blessed to read all these :)

You all have uplifted my spirit in such a great way. I feel overjoyed. I have also realized many of my faults. My anger has overcome me. Just recently I got in a heated dispute with some Catholics and it turned into a vulgar mudslinging contest. I was so ashamed with myself that I nearly cried. That day I realized I had a major problem.

I will continue to study and do my best. I need to come on here more often. I will invite my fiance here so she can post as well :)

Thank you all and many blessings :)
