Advice? 12/24/19 (Tue) 02:33:17 1ce6c9 No.11606

So I recently started doing discipleship at my church (I’m still a bit new in my walk), and my leader says that I’m too fixated on information than my actual walk. I will account for the fact that my prayer life is a bit lacking, but nonetheless this knowledge is important no? I’m just fascinated by the biblical basis for the Khazarian Jews (not real Jews), Illuminati, the beast system, E.Ts (fallen angels), nephilim, and the rapture. These aren’t really topics that most churches cover b/c they’re too controversial, but I’m just too curious. It gives me better insight on the will of Jesus so I can understand the word to my full capacity.

Anyway, he brought up that this information is distracting me from my walk, but it’s not like I’m obsessed with it. I just enjoy discussing it b/c it’s a bit taboo. I’m aware life has a deeper meaning than knowledge and that most of that information is irrelevant to me, but it’s relevant to God, so I feel like it’s something I should know if I should continue to do his work. How could I call myself a Christian if I couldn’t explain these things?

What do you guys think? I’m sure a good bit of you are hip to end times prophecy and Jewish history. Is this information part of my walk or distracting me from it?

If you're neglecting the basics, then reprioritize. It sounds like he just doesn't share your interests (even though he should as a leader) and thinks it's weird.

You should not at all stop studying all topics of theology and I recommend especially indulging in the topics that fascinate you

Yeah, he’s a year younger, but he’s been in the church a lot longer and so he knows the walk a lot better than me. Maybe it’s too challenging of a topic for people in their early 20s, even if they have read the Bible. Whenever I’d talk to evangelists they about this stuff it clicked immediately. I mean, secret societies and the occult were the norm since king nimrod up until the crusades. No doubt it still goes on behind closed doors (Looking at you Hollywood). But I guess since it’s too uncanny for churches to say stuff like that in public, he thinks it’s too weird for me to say it too-even though those are two very different scenarios.

I felt like God was laying on my heart that it was important for Christians to be aware of the supernatural. And that the occult isn’t some weird neck beard basement dweller congregation, or a bunch of dirty white people with dreads-they’re affluent, educated, wealthy CEOs, engineers, politicians etc. but what my leader just told me is contradicting that, so was it really God or just the devil distracting me? In the few times the lord has directly communicated with me, he seemed very pleased with the work I’m doing, and told me not to despair. But at the same time, I don’t want judgement to come and have him say he never knew me because I was too busy learning and not going to church. I’m trying my best to humble myself but something about it just isn’t sitting right with me.

>what do i think

Your leader is right, the purpose the Lord walked the earth is for us to have our heart get cleansed so we'd have the same heart as our Lord.

For me, i directed my bible interests to end time prophecy interpretations. So i watch a lot of revelations & daniel thingy.

Any organization that discourages you from thinking and asking questions is trying to sweep inconvenient problems under the rug. This should be self-evident, and I can tell it's self-evident to you. Don't let people make you second-guess yourself, that's classic cult behavior, and you deserve the same intellectual honesty that you are bringing to the table. I won't tell you what to conclude religiously, but I will _strongly_ encourage you to be real with yourself. Truth has nothing to hide.

I was in the same place as you. Actually, I told my discipler that I thought I wouldn't be a good discipler because I focus more on those things than anything else. In time you will change, to care about things to the right proportion. Whether that means less of knowledge or more of walking, I don't know.
