Thank you, Kate. I have visited a few different churches/congregations since I left the church of Christ and now I am visiting a nondenominational church which i am considering becoming a member of. Have a blessed day.

God bless.
I pray it all works out for you. Stay true to God’s word, and He will bless you for it.
Yes, but there are so many denominations/congregations that believe that they are staying true to God's word, Kate. There are so many different interpretations, and each believe they are right... I pray for guidance and discernment as I interact and try to see what correlates with what I understand the scriptures to teach, and look for common bonds. As you might know, I am a Christian Universalist and as far as I know, there are no Christian Universalist congregations in my area. In fact it can be very isolating but I trust that God will guide me and be with me in all things. God bless.

No, I did not know you believed in universal salvation. I do remember posting to you a very long time ago, but I don’t remember what we posted about. There is a huge thread on universalism on this forum.
Anyway, I wish you the very best. Study the Scriptures daily, and stay close to the Lord. That’s all any of us can do.

A University of New South Wales student has recounted the warning signs he missed before his friend became enmeshed in a cult so deeply it "totally took over his life".
Ethan began to worry his friend Keegan* had joined a cult when his weekly "bible study" commitments became so intense he was left unable to work or pay rent.
"He came to me and said 'I can't pay board because I need to buy a new phone to get OneNote so I can teach the Bible on campus'," Ethan, 21, told news.com.au.
"He would go to uni every day and preach, do walk-up evangelism … or go on Facebook Messenger or Instagram and contact people and ask them if they would like to join a Bible study.
"He couldn't work, because he was attending these studies every day, he had church three times a week – it became a fulltime commitment that totally took over his life."
