Hey, I don't know you. I'm a lover of Jesus for 62 years now. I've decided that if I get to the end of my life, and it's not real, it's ok. It is the best system of life and peace for my family there is. It's all good. God has redeemed the time for me, with all my disasters, especially as someone who has served in the church in the music ministry. I've had times I needed to pull away, but I had too many real encounters with Him to deny him. I can't be that guy, in my heart. Yes, He loves you, without deserving, without believing, He loves you and will allow you, me, and all else to walk away. I pray for clarity for you brother, no condemnation here. Following.

That openness and acceptance and flexibility you spoke about at the end seems like you want to believe in Jesus it sounds like the way of Jesus but I also see the deep hurt you associate with that because of what others who claim to believe in Jesus have done to you and I’m sure it feels rejecting Jesus is a way to distance yourself from the pain and I understand that as a believer myself I am deconstructing evangelicalism right now. I am so sad to hear what you’ve been through I send you all the best on your healing journey

It never made sense to me that Jesus or God, who supposed to love us, stands back and “let’s“ all of these awful things happen to us and to other people. No one can make sense of that. in real life, if our parent allowed awful things to happen to us, they would likely be held accountable. So why isn’t he? The simple answer is he doesn’t exist.

For me, after spending so much of my life being given answers, this chapter doesn’t need to be about finding another set of answers. It’s about finally giving myself permission to ask the questions. And it’s ok. We can’t go back and nor should we. The ONLY way is forward.

I think it's wild that you get all of those messages because the ones I always receive are that I was never a real christian to begin with or I left because I wanted to be free to live a sinful life.

To hear ‘Jesus loves you’ feels like the person saying it is deflecting it off themselves. You’re right we should have just loved without mentioning Jesus. Actions of Jesus go way farther than the words.

There is no Middleman between us and the Source, because we are The Source manifested within the physical vessel, Source and the truth are within. The truth is unconditional love; everything else is an illision. ✨️💚💫

Realizing how it feels to be on the receiving end of the “I’m praying for you”s and the “Jesus loves you”s has been one of the hardest things to work through because having to wrestle with the fact that I actively created anxiety and pain and fear and whatever else in other people SUCKS. We know better, we do better but that also doesn’t undo the harm already done.

I felt like when I began to deconstruct, it actually wasn’t something I “wanted” to do. It was this feeling inside that kept growing almost demanding that I face all the questions I’d stuffed deep down my entire life. Because, if I was wrong, that meant I spent most of my life devoted heart and soul to something untrue and that was really scary shit! I loved being a worship leader. Letting go and finally being able to admit I don’t believe anymore was deeply painful and lonely. It still felt like a betrayal to say out loud what I believed. It took a long while before it actually felt freeing. Had to wade through a lot of emotions while pursuing and accepting the truth that I no longer believed. The weirdest part was simultaneously being pissed off at God while coming to terms with the fact I no longer believed he existed. Walking through those contradictory feelings was part of that 5 year journey for me.

Phillipians 3:9-10; Romans 10:3. Don’t blame Jesus and God for the actions of somebody. Your spirit is still speaking through your conscience. The Lord be with you.

my big ond is it was the church hurt you not God. Even if I accepted that what do I do with God let it happen? Things like childhood cancer that my family is going through right now. Nah. no one knows all i went through in that church in that house. I did a take two for years at a different one. Yeah .... no.
