A wrong reason to go to church? [+ favourites]

this may sound funny, but i started going to church for a simple reason, and i think most guys would agree, a gurl.. but not just any gurl, the pastor's doughter. To start i was not much of an organized religon guy, nor is my family. Everything i need to know i get from Plato. Well i started gettin' into the church idea when i was around this gurl. I started to think about God and Jesus alot, and of course the gurl. Well we ended up goin our diff. ways (brake up) and i stop goin to that church, for obvious reasons (dad).

heres my question, Even though i went to church for the wrong reasons, i learned quite a bit about christainity, and i actually started believing in a higher power... but since it was wrong to go there in the first place, does that mean i am goin to hell... lol did not mean it to come up that way, but it did...

perhaps what you saw in this girl was a little bit of God, and thus you became curious because of the reflection she cast on Him. going because of a girl isnt wrong, i started volunteer work because of a guy, it doesnt mean that God won't use it.

General 'rule' of the Christian 'thought process' :
Christians have error which through Christ, they exist in God's Will . . . that via their own willfulness, they shall come to [accept] the Truth.
Sounds like your right on track?

I think you can have a wonderful relationship with God and not go to church--i do beleive you need the fellowship in church--maybe you went for the wrong reason but you are realizing you actually got somthing out of the deal--Just be thankful you can recognize that maybe you were selfish at first but you are now seeing the better end of the spectrum--Good luck!!

you did go originally for the wrong reason. but after you had started going, and thinking about god when you were there, rather than just the girl, then you are going to church for the right reason.

that's what we call multi-tasking.

If there is a God and the Bible is right and all that God has a plan stuff is true. Then you were meant to go there, and sometimes God has to use interesting ways of getting people to find him/her (whole other topic) . Anyways I know too many people that go to church with the right intentions but get the wrong thing out of it. It's the end not the means.
