Should i be worried about being part of this church?
Hi.
Right now I've been going on an emotional rollercoaster with something serious. I know it's going to be a long story, but please bare with me.
Really it's about religion. I guess with every church I go to : Catholic, Christian, it's always been the same thing. You know worship God, sing songs to him, pray and have the unleavened bread and wine. That's it. And of course listen to the pastor.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that when. I wanted to truly know God, I wanted to be able to study about him and learn about his life and get to know him properly. However, that Never happened because All I knew was in the Bible itself but never understand much and how Jesus spoke in parables.
Yes, we did know some things, but I feel like ever since I've joined a church called the Church of God (the world mission society church of god) I don't even know what to think anymore. It's like I've been Reborn on this Earth again and have to relearn everything from the top.
However if you're wondering: this church of god, is not like any other church. What I mean is that they teach about how we not only have a god the father, just a god the mother which is apparently here on this Earth as a Korean woman. They also teach that the second coming of Christ came already as a Korean man named Ahnsahnghong and he was born in 1918 and died in 1985.
At first I thought this was strange, because I've never heard such a thing in my life. Especially being baptized in the name of the father, son and the holy Spirit (Christ Ahnsahnghong).
They do teachings, actual Bible teachings and say the Passover is the only way to eternal life in the (last days). I slowly believed it and then I truly believed every word they preached.
But last week, as me and another member was preaching (it was my first time), I was expecting to just go up to a random person and preach to them only to find out that we were going to preach to youths (young adults). I was confused and asked myself, why not the elderly? Or families. But then again, if we loved our lost brother's and sisters that were casted down from heaven to earth after sinning against god as an angel, why not save the elders too?.
I'm still very confused. And what's making me more confused is the NIV VERSION of the Bible. Members from this church from what I know only use the NIV version even though I heard that it has some missing verses and meanings of the original version and now I'm starting to think I made a mistake of entering the church.
Because they have different belifs from other churches, but they still claim to be Christians, I don't know what to do.
It's all very too much for me to deal with. I NEED HELP
