wishful belief

I placed my faith and hope in the Father and that caused problems because I wouldn’t believe in Jesus.
I no longer believe in the Father.

How is this an “either or” issue? One God… three Persons… faith and hope can be placed in all three Persons of God.

So do you still believe in Jesus?
If yes, then who is he?

The Trinity is very complex and I suspect many of us don’t really understand it. I know the difinition but still its reality is not clear to me. Yet we Christians accept it, it is the central article of our faith.

Pray that you do accept it and eventualy understand it. Prayer is the key to most (all?) stumbling blocks in spiritual life.

I am sorry to here this.

I must say though that this line of thinking can only lead to dispair…

You can only come to the Father through the “Son”, but that is a New Testament teaching and you have made it clear you wouldn’t believe in Him.

I suggest you pray for the truth, if you are willing to accept it for what it is and not the way you wish it to be it will be revealed to you.

I think you ought to change your screen name and stop thinking of yourself in that way. I’ve read other posts by you and am saddened that you don’t realize how beautiful God thinks you are. Such negativity surely has a profound effect on your spiritual life and your faith.

You’re relationship to God is between you and Him alone. Who caused “problems”-or who have you allowed to cause problems?
