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.

Oh Bettina, I am so sorry that you have this awful person in your life. First- Going to church doesn't make someone a better Christian or a more Godly person. I know so many people who go to church and are some of the biggest sinners. Your roomate sounds like one of them, It is not our place to judge anyone else. Our only judge is our Creator who will will face in Heaven.

Second- There are many people who cannot go to church for various reason, but they are believers, good people and will go to Heaven.

Your so-called friend is sadly mistaken Do not let his twisted beliefs get you down. You are right, he is not. You are a wonderful person and don't let anyone else tell you different.

If he really read and understood the Bible and the teachings of Christ he would know how very wrong he is.

I know your heart is good, but I think you should probably ask him to find another place to live. You do not need anyone like that in your house. It is not healthy.

We all love you and so does God!

*hugs you tight*

PS- Pray for God to lighten your heart of this burden. He will
