Sorry that I just posted another thread, but I had to post this.

There are so many interpretations and explainations being thrown in my face recently over the nature of God, etc. etc.. I'm seriously raging right now so I won't go into it, basically I'm just asking if I can just pay no attention to them. Can I just say that my God loves me and sent his son Jesus Christ to pay for my sins which I have committed throughout my life and just leave it at that? Can I forget about trying to explain the mysteries of the Trinity or whatever and just follow Jesus's example? Because I'm getting awefully tired with trying to do this, I just want to live my life the way that God wants me to.
 
Thing is, once proclaiming to be a Christian there will be times when others will want to know something. What are you going to tell them? Don't pay attention to anything else?
You, we, all who believe are ambassadors for our Lord and Savior, with bible in hand. Sooner or later you will be put into a position where you must speak. Not once, but throughout your lifetime. There are inquisitive people out there especially when Christ touches their hearts. What will you tell them when God puts them in front of you?
 
Read your bible and work on your personal relationship with Jesus. Mature in Him before you subject your mind to all the opinions out there, or else your simplicity in Him will become corrupted.
You should probably turn the internet forums off for awhile.

2 Corinthians 11:2-3

2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

There is simplicity in Christ, but the enemy will use man to complicate that simplicity to confuse and corrupt you.
 
Good post Destiny :thumb
Finding guidance is also well advised.

Acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
 
I agree, Rick... I pray kenan gets some good discipleship in a face to face setting. There's just too many voices and opinions on the internet that will cause him severe confusion.
