Well, I guess tonight I feel the need to talk a little bit about whats going on with me spiritually. I've been trying to avoid really talking about it because the answer I have is messy and hard to explain. But after a lot of thought, I've desided it all really boils down to one thing

I'll be honest- I don't think you're going to hell either way

Its great that you can step back like this.

My personal thoughts on hell: If the standards are as high as people like to think, its going to be pretty lonely up there. I love an awful lot of people who don't meet those standards. Maybe its the social worker in me that believes that people aren't meant to be perfect; just to work to be the best people that they can be.

People forget that God's message is supposed to be pure love.

If you ever want a laid back religion chat, you know where to find me :)

Another thing is the fact that I'm not PERFECT!! I'm flawed, and broken, and painfully human. I'm tired of pretending that I'm something I'm not. I make mistakes, BIG mistakes. I stumble and fall more times than I succeed. I have NEVER wanted to be placed on some kind of pedestal.

That's why Christianity is so great, you aren't supposed to be perfect. Just human with reliance on Christ, with all the flaws and stumbles that comes with.

ok, I read some of the other posts and I didn't realize you were just stepping away from the pentecostalism. I left from that awhile back and I'm happy in just being a Christian. Mainly once I started reading the Bible for myself I could see that no denomination has it 100%. Either way, I will be prayin' for ya.
