Hello and welcome. I don’t believe God made you autistic. Gods image is much deeper than that.If I was made in God's Image, why did God make me autistic?
You speak of your autism as something less than normal. Maybe people in our society tend to define you in those terms but it doesn't have to be. God's definition of "His image" is probably quite different from ours.If I was made in God's Image, why did God make me autistic?
I already suggested reading the Bible slowly. There's a reason for that. I read or listen to the Scriptures all the time. I get together on Tuesday mornings with a group of about 6-8 guys and we read from the Bible and discuss what we've read. I get together with a group of Gideons on Saturday mornings and we read Scripture. At 64 years old, it seems I am always learning more all the time. The learning never stops. Even the gospel of John says this....Thank you so much...I am kinda used to letting peple just label me and sterotype me
Yep, that's a thing for neurodivergent folks like usI would try to go slow, but once I am intrested in something I hyperfixate and will read the bbible in a matter of a month...
I don't think anyone fully understands the Bible tbh - not even people who go to college or seminary to study it on an academic level. You have a community here you can talk to about stuff you may be confused about. There are also a lot of resources that are meant to help. It's going to be a learning process, but that's ok.Thats ne thing i am kinda scared of, nor understanding the bible
