Maybe I'm a little lonely, even after saying I'm not.Interesting, why do you want a woman in your life?

I see exactly where you are in Romans.Something bothering me... I think Christianity has become mechanical. Try this, this will work. No Try this, and this will work. Just resist harder. Just pray more. Just read the scriptures. NO read the scriptures correctly. If you just fall on your face, and ask him. If you just put your heart in the right place. The list just goes on and on, and on. It's all do do do do do. What happens when you've done it all, and still not enough? The Bible says you can't get to him by good works. He's not kidding!
I feel like I shouldn't have even opened this topic. This stuff isn't going to help me.
Sadly no, to all those questions. Because all the local 'Bible' believing churches rejected US, my parents and myself. I guess we just don't have the social status to be involved with them.
That's a good question! We aren't told that in a logical manner. It's how they treat us.
That's what my parents and I were trying to do, but we ran out of places to try.
Thank you for the suggestion. Most of you here wouldn't know this, but this is probably my 14th online Christian Community. That's right, I've tried around 14 different online Christian Communities. There have been other people who have tried to help me find a local Church. They couldn't help me! I've also had people try to help me find a meetup group, or even someone to date. They couldn't help me. You see the problem isn't just the local Churches. The problem is the whole community. I just happen to live in a very snobby community, where you are either IN or your OUT. I don't think this community got this way over night. When my Grandparents were young and still alive, they found groups of people they could fit in. When my parents were younger, they also found groups of people they could fit in with. But when I was going through Elementary, Middle School, and High School, things just kept getting worse and worse. Gradually we as an entire family became excluded, as my generation gained control of everything. My parents are old, and my grandparents are dead. These days my parents are only concerned about serving, and looking forward to going to heaven. They have given up on Church completely. As for me, you could say the same thing. There is really nothing you can do when your excluded by the community. It's really hard to explain it logically. But I guess the best way to explain it is like this. You know what it is like when you are around someone that you click with. And you know what it is like when you are around someone that you don't click with. Now just imagine if you couldn't click with anybody. That's how my life is.
I don't like all the King James. I can't read it.
Summer of 1999 I was baptized in water. But I don't believe that you need to be baptized to be saved.
