Feel like Crying

[elflover59]

I have a roommate who is one of my few friends. Like me he is very religious. But there is a big different between us. He goes to church twice a week, Bible study and Outreach ones a week. I don't go to Church, mostly because i get very bad anxiety plus high BP when leaving the house plus i don't study the Bible. What i do is i pray every night and try to be a good person. In the last 10 years i took like 20 peoples in and let them stay with me till they found a job and a own place to stay. I believe very much in our creator but it looks like being a good person is not enough. I always hear from my roommate i am going to HELL because i am not going to Church. It hurts so much to hear this because i do thing i am a good person. But if you hear this often you start to not believe in your self. Thats why i never talk about my believe because of things like this. I guess i will not be along in this place because there are so many people out there who are like me. I just feel like crying now after Hearing again acording to the Bible i am not good enough.

P.S. For some reason i posted the same entry 3 times and when i deleted two of them ,i deleted the one with all the comments. I wanted to keep your kind comments so i just put them back here from the e-mail.

Sweetheart, as I recall it Jesus said what matters is the content of a man's (or woman's) heart, not how outwardly Religious they seem. Trying to be a good person and caring for others is what being a Christian is really about, not going to Church a couple times a week and making a great show of Bible knowledge.

If your friend is such a great Bible scholar, he's no doubt familiar with God's injunction to "Judge not, lest you yourself be judged." We each have our talents and yours is kindness, and that's really the heart of the faith. You are so not going to Hel.
