Why Do Christians Persecute Themselves? This Requires Someone Who Doesn’t Mind Reading Lengthy Situations.?
Question by Alexi The One Of Metal: Why do Christians persecute themselves? This requires someone who doesn’t mind reading lengthy situations.?
I’m in desperate need of guidance from Christians who would know why other Christians feel the need to persecute other Christians when they share the same beliefs but may have a different perspective of things. I’ll explain.
My Church told me because I have premarital sex that I’m a sex addict and told me to pray for a solution that they called Pure Life Ministries a Sexual Rehab place for Christians where God works on you with your problems of sexual sin. Now I thought I was following Gods voice on this but I soon realized that things I’ve learned when I was a Satanist back in my high school days (I’m 23) that I manipulated my Church because I was envious of their connection with God and I wanted that to the same degree as they did. Okay before you get angry God did convict me of this out rages blasphemy I have done and I feel guilty as my Pastor told me I rightly should because I “defiantly quit the program” for sex rehab when I realized that I don’t need sex in my life to survive, I just enjoyed it thus wanting it, which isn’t a trait of an addict.
So I am finding it ridiculously impossible to repent for my sins because my church has not let me in their church for the bible says something about not being around Christian’s whom are immoral? So they say because God told me to cut of my ties with my ex fiance and I didn’t that the relationship was found on an immoral basis before I was a Christian and they seem to think they have the right to tell me that even though I’m no longer in her life as a romantic item and that she is in God’s hands now that just by still talking to her I am being immoral and sinning even though I do not contain a lustful thought for her but love her still righteously in a way glorifying to our God yet I still am persecuted with this?
They persecute me for having more of an open mind as well. They believe God is the word and truth of the bible. They believe God’s yes is yes and his no is no. They believe that God is mercy, grace, compassion, joy (joy pertaining to of only a Godly joy brought on to people by only God himself). They believe that Jesus is the only way to go before God, and that Jesus is the only road to salvation. They believe that God’s will is absolute and that is blasphemy to form your own ideas about it as stemming back to God’s yes is yes and his no is no. See I believe these exact beliefs they do except I believe when God tells you to cut someone your in a relationship out of your life that it means to break that romantic tie, and it so happens that she was cut out of my life for 4 days and I prayed following the 4th day of her being cut out of my life that according to God’s will would he reunite us back together and give me a sign if I was suppose to be with her. That following Sunday at the end of the time she was cut from my life she was at church, and I do believe that God’s will was for her to be there only if she was the one for me according to his will. My church however disagrees with this because 2+2 = 4 and when you say 2+2 = 5 is wrong and there is nothing you can do to fix it. Even if you say 2+2 = 5 minus 1 = 4 that even though you got to the right answer that the foundation was bad to start. And all I did was ask simply advice and they are trying to control what I do with this woman from my perspective and It boggles my mind that they would say to me that they don’t have to respect my views because they are wrong even though I believe the same way they do just that God wouldn’t forbid you to stop talking to someone you were immoral with because God has the ability to heal all and make new again according to his will and all things are forgivable through the sacrifice of Jesus dying for us and that true repentance on that situation would be to simply stop masturbating and having sex with her or anyone else and to worship and honor God’s law of premarital sex by not practicing or giving in it willingly or through temptation as that would become sin. And really that’s the only view of mine that’s different from their that does not contradict the beliefs both my church and I have, and I don’t know why they feel they are in the right to tell me that I’m 100% wrong. I don’t know what love is other than the 4th grade version of puppy love, and that I am worshiping God to my own terms when I clearly worship God the same way my church does but according to them I do not.
When I told my pastor that God’s will did not send me to sexual rehab that my following men before Jesus did and thats why I came back early breaking contract with my pastor because God already took my fiance away from me and then reunited me with her and I believe God wouldn’t do that to you twice and they forbid all unmarried men to talk to their loved ones such as girlfriends or fiances, so God’s conviction to my breaking their rules to talk to her being the only conviction I received I came home because I prayed for God to deliver me home and he did with huge convic

Persecuting Christians are no Christians simply, as God would never accept this.
