Can you find God?

[AquaTeen]

My sister has been telling me that I'm not a true Christian because I said I found God when I was at an all time low in my life and converted. I was told you can't "Magically" convert to Christianity. I was told that God can only find you and that you can never find God. Is this true? Can you not find God or can you find God? Do you have to wait for God to find you? I'm new to being religious so I don't understand... is it just my sister criticizing me for being a religious person or is she telling me the truth?

Re: Can you find God?

I hear people saying they found god and that their life has been pretty much flipped upside down from it. I'm not religious though, so I don't really know the "rules".

Re: Can you find God?

Are you wanting to be a true Christian or just one with God? I'm not a Christian, but I can tell you that if you've made a profound spiritual experience then you should embrace it if it helps improve your quality of life. The universally defined "Christianity" might not be the same for everyone as dictated, but if you connect with the guidelines and beliefs then I'd say that's what defines your religion.

Personally I'm not a religious person at all though. Just a spiritual person aside from religion.

No one is a "true" Christian by your sister's definition. But what's more "magic" than finding God or better yet, believing in what others consider magic (God)? And you don't have to be a Christian to "find" or believe in God.

You know what? It does seem like she is saying that no one is a true Christian maybe she needs to have a conversation with God like she says she believes and follows God but apparently she skipped over verse Jer 29:13 (NIV) that states: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Yea we do believe that but apparently true Christians have to believe that they have to wait for God to find them according to her so I guess I'm not a legit Christian :-/

Sounds like your sister is just bitching for the sake of bitching. I wouldn't take her words to heart. You know what you believe, don't you?

If you haven't found God, you haven't looked hard enough into the mirror and the surrounding universe, plus you are blinded by something.
