I consider myself spiritual, I was a Christian for a while, and left then went back then left...it went on like this, and then I came to find that being spiritual, having beliefs in a higher power, but not holding to a religion, suits me best. Have you always been a Christian?
Thank you for asking, I've been a Christian and active in God's work for many years. I grew up going to church but it was later (mid twenties) that I came to Christ as my savior. It was even later that I took what I had committed to seriously and it was then that God changed my life in many wonderful ways. Living for Him gave me real purpose in life and God then gave me the personal evidence to know who He was and why he did the things recorded in the scriptures. Believe me this has brought a peace to my life that is unexplainable and gives me hope of a life eternally better.
Why have you left Christianity if you don't mind telling me?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
