See there is God.
Half of the time I really struggle with my faith.
A younger version of me wrote that earlier reply.
He's always cryptic.
marky knows who he is.
I'm just sorry that I was too intense for him.
I push everyone away.
I'm not certain why.
I miss my friend.
Being cryptic is your only option when you are blending in.
I'm not suicidal physically.
I'd love to walk away from the faith that causes me so much internal strife.
Knowing where salvation lies, makes walking away spiritual suicide.
I'm really conflicted.
No one can answer my questions with anything other than mysterious ways.
That doesn't work for the trapped child in my mind.
Being cryptic does not make you blend in - it attracts attention and may also cause people to think you are trying to be edgy.
Pushing people away does have the advantage of keeping you from pain. You avoid being hurt if you are not close to someone. But you also miss out on love and a lot of good things. Guess you have to decide if it is worth it.
People of faith usually end up with questions unless they are not terribly introsective. Pat answers are very unsatisfying.
Have you ever read Ecclesiastes? Bible scholars used to have problems with the book because it seemed to contradict so much of the Bible.

Something I find amusing is when people say the God they know would never send people to hell or such things. Pretty good indication they never cracked open a Bible

I don't know. I suppose you just wrestle with it until you come to some peace and acceptance, or not.
People seem to need to believe in something greater than themselves. Lot of people hate to think this is all you get. It seems like, now that it isn't cool to believe in God, people turn to witchcraft, satanism, crystals, whatever.
I'm not sure you can commit spiritual suicide as there is always a path provided to repent and be forgiven according to the Bible. Although there is one sin which will not be forgiven. Once again according to the Bible.
Not trying to preach here lol. Just reporting things.
You can walk away although it might be hard.
