If you truly want to be a Christian, read through the Gospel of John. ask God to show Himself to you, and He will. A relationship with God is a personal thing. It's also important to go to a Bible-believing Church where you can hear the Bible read and preached in a simple way that you can understand and grow from. Christ says He has chosen us, not the other way around. He calls; answer yes to Him, and the Holy Spirit will help you to hear and understand His Word.

>> Hi all. For years I've saught the truth. For years I've looked and looked to find God, and just when I think I've found him, I'm not sure. First there was Gnosticism that challenged me the most. I studdied it, and even downloaded a few of the gospels, like of Thomas. Now don't get me wrong. I don't just flit from view to view on religion so easily. I soon emerged from that with the firm conviction that it was just not true, for Jesus wouldn't want just a little few to become children of God, and while the world is fallen, our main wish shouldn't be to get out of it and not live on our way through it. But there's a book called Satan's counterfeit Christianity that I found on iBooks. I started reading it thinking it'd give more about other ideas I should keep away from, but it basically reads that all knowledge me have of Christianity is wrong. It says that Catholicism is rooted in other religions, based on Babel or however you spell it, and that Protestantism is just an extention of Catholicism, just split and without the rituals and such. So, now what? But the book's only advice about learning the "true faith" is to read the Bible deeply. Well, I've been doing that for as long as I had a Bible to read, and the only thing I disagree with of most Christians is that the sons of God in Gen 6 were fallen angels, not sons of Seth. So, is this something I should keep investigating, or should I just dismiss it before I cause myself more confusion and ache as happened with Gnosticism?
