Hey joyful and samson, thanks for your replies.
Yeah, i feel it so easy in here to ask questions.
And i got really good answers.
Maybe the reason people don't question me so much is I'm a lot older than you. I guess they figure it I'm so mixed up at my age, there is no hope for me then ;)
But I can see your family's concern. They are fearful of something that they don't understand. What may help is to get a real firm understanding of the major beliefs you now have and the Scriptures that they stand on. If you can prove what you believe is Scriptural, how can they find fault.
Ray has a Bible study that is just about this subject called 'Foundational Truths.'
Here is an excerpt and a link to the study.

So I want to give you enough information so that, on a rather simplistic level, you can take on any and all comers, TV preachers or people, you know. Because a lot of us run into people who will argue about Scripture and say, ‘yes God is going to torture people, because it says so.’
Is there a way to learn how to overcome virtually all of these hundreds of Scriptures that they throw at you? I think there is. That’s what today’s study is all about.
So many of the doctrines of the church, they contradict each other, they contradict God, they contradict the Scriptures.
------------------------------------------------------
and i have jused this study allot, i have write it down, and explained about it to people, like my smallgroup (iam not in that group anymore).
And it worked great. They maybe didnt belive me, but i didnt feel that i was putting down.
The best argument i got was, well you didnt juse so many bibleverse from ROM. Yeah and what kind of bileverse did you juse at all, to prove me iam wrong? Well i didnt say that, but i was thinking that.
But anyway thank you for your posts
Another question, iam the youngest here? I feel like evryone is over 40 here, well not you Eirik.hehe
I sometimes wish i could be much older, to get experience and wisdom, beacuse thats not done in 1 day.
Thank you for your kind words.
Morten

Experience does take time, but most people live to be a ripe old age and never hear this Truth. You have a lot more going for you than most youth do - THE TRUTH.
Make the most of the time you have, every day is precious. When you know that you are in His will (because you know this Truth), then everything you do becomes more important. I mean you are not just being toss to and fro by all these doctrines of man anymore.
Eph 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
Eph 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
Most of us older folks here, have to go through the process of purging all these false beliefs we have accumlated over the years. So that's good you have not went through so much of that stuff yet.
There is a lot of good things about being young, I have young adult daughters and it is so good to see them living in the zest of their youth.
Every morning just wake up to the idea that you have been given another day in this world and make this most of it :)
mercy, peace and love
Kat
