Why did I leave born
again Christianity?
I’m 23 yrs. old guy from Lithuania, who left christianity 1 month ago.
For 3 years ive been a serious christian, walking as hard as I could on the
christian path. All of my dreams and goals in this life were related to
fulfilling G-d’s plan in my life. I was really serious about that. I spent all
of my time (free and not free) for christianity. I was strongly focused. I was
praying in tongues so much in order to build my spirit as strong as possible,
reading the bible so much too. I lost all of my friends, I actually disowned
them myself and everybody what was on my way. I wasn’t too sad because of that
though, because I saw a bright future. I knew I’ll achieve it, couse I was even
ready to die for these dreams and for G-d. I saw many kinds of miracles, it was
natural for me and I really liked it. If
1 month ago, somebody would tell me that I would leave my faith, I would
laugh strongly. I was so strong in my faith, I was sure I knew everything about
this earth, about the spiritual things. Until one day, I saw this documentary
on Syria war. I saw there muslim doctors with fear in their eyes sacrificing
their lives, while trying to heal people and help people fight Assad’s regime
and saying that theyre not afraid to die, because it’s good for them to die
doing a good thing in the sight of G-d.
Everybody of them die. I remembered Jesus words: ‘no one has greater
love than this, than he, who lays down his life for his friends. ‘So I thought
to myself, here are these people having the highest quality of love described
by Jesus and according to my Christian faith, they’re all going to eternal
hell, simply couse they’re worshiping the wrong G-d. I realized I need to find out the truth about
hell and I must go to the jewish roots first. I saw that jews never had this
concept. But, what’s more important, I noticed a video called ‘how Christian
missionaries twist the scriptures’ by rabbi Michael Schoback. I felt I must
watch it. After watching It I was a bit shocked, because I was always told that
jews are blind, but now I see this guy talking very logically. After that I’ve
watched all of the jewish vs. Christian debates. After watching one of the
debates with rabbi Tovia Singer tears came out of my eyes and out of my heart.
I was convicted. I stopped praying to Jesus. I started rereading all of the
Tanakh, restudying main theological questions. I needed to be 100 percent sure
about everything. And, yes, I’m more than sure this day. I also watched all of
the material on jews for Judaism channel, I also watched lots of stuff from
jews for jesus side. To tell you the truth, this day my life has no purpose,
and it’s quite dark, but I still have a small hope that G-d will give me a
direction to go. Because I see my life only with Him. However, this day it
feels like G-d is far away from me, and I don’t know how to find Him and this
feeling more than sucks. I pray that G-d
would either kill me, or that He would give me a new clear purpose. G-d bless
you, guys.
