Subject: Finding God
I do have one question that has always bothered me when attending church. If what you read in the bible is only based on how I interpret it how do I know I’m reading it correctly?
Another issue i have always had is that i feel the idea of god was more so planted in my head then i feel the power of god. When you’re a baby you’re unable to ask for things yourself so then you would cry out for help and magically you began to be feed (your mother would feed you). I feel this notion plants the idea that if i prayer things will become better and thus the idea of a god looking after me.
Im trying to find religion again but the more i do the more i feel im fading away from it. I still feel church is a wonderful place to gain good morals and still live by them, but i just feel i may be to open minded to accept religion.

Really?!? You write an e-mail to the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth, and these are your questions?
2 Peter 1:19 ¶ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
With time being very short, it is time to get your obey on and quit it already with this nonsense.
