Hoping to make some new friends.

[Jasn.Bennett]

Hi, I'm new Christian, I'm also new to forums and as sad as it is to admit I don't have many friends and even fewer of them are Christian. I am hoping to make some christian friends to help combat the lonliness I am feeling as I travel down this path toward christ. I admit I haven't had a personal encounter with god, which makes it difficult to have a "relationship". I honestly think I am doing something wrong because I didn't think faith would make me feel worse than I did before. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi

I fully get where you're coming from. I had prayer earlier at church as I realised I had lost that relationship with Christ. I know the arguments, I know the evidence but the Christian faith is not about a set of answers to be mastered. Being a Christian is about relationship with Christ. You still need the answers to help stop doubt but the relationship is primary.

Turns out that I haven't lost that relationship, Christ has me in his hand - and he's probably laughing

May I ask, if you haven't had a personal encounter with God, how have you been able to put your faith in him and follow him?

I think the easiest answer is second hand information, I'm having to use others who have to figure out how to get my self there. Plenty of people are quick to tell me what an exciting path I'm on and so on. They tell me their experience and all I can say is that I am envious of them for it. As far faith, I believe there is a God, and that is as far as my faith goes, I'm sincerely trying to have child like faith but it is exceedingly difficult when I get nothing back. I'm frustrated by it all, but I'm supposed to follow him somewhere to do something at sometime. Why not save time and say "hey here's the plan" then I say "roger that" and go do it instead of walking around lost wondering if God even cares. I'm going to shut up now because I get frustrated talking about it. I appreciate your reply, Thank You
