    Hello, my name is Martin Hubertus Wilhelmus van den Boorn… At the moment I’m 36 years old and I live in the beautifull city of Mestreech in the Netherlands… I grew up as a Roman Catholic and for a few years after my first communion I was even an Alterboy at my local church untill I went to middleschool… Then my life fel appart and for years I blamed God for all the bad things that had happend and all I knew was that I was angry with God… I did not persue God for years… My filosofy at that time was why would I worship a God that allowed so much pain and suffering, not only to me but in the whole world… That cannot be a good God I thought… I thought I didn’t need God in my life and for years and years you could consider my halfathiest… Then a few years ago some people of Jehova’s Witnesses came to my door and starded the conversation about god… I spend hours talking to them about god and how I felt about it… They really rekindled my interrest in getting to know God again and wanting him back in my life… Then I starded their biblestudy group wich I took for a couple of years… some things I agreed with and some things I didn’t, like they said that Jesus was not crusified but nailed to a pole… Personally that didn’t bother me that much because to me that was a miner detail on wich we differed on oppinion… To me that was not a major be saved or not issue… But after a couple of years they said that Jesus was “just” an angel and then I stopped their Bible study instantly, that to me was a real dealbreaker… Then I spend a lot of time on the internet listerning to multiple teachers to see wich one would be the best “match”… eventually I found Unlearn and Lex a couple of years ago and I’ve been loyaly following his Q&A ever sins I saw the first video… And now today I subscribes to this site looking for people who believe the same as me because in my own life I have nobody that believes the same as me and there are NO churches in my proximity who teach what Lex (and the Bible) teaches… I am a sinfull man but I really try to better my life but unfortunatly my flesh is very weak and my mental problems are not helping… Now I am trying to get God involved in my life and I try to to do what pleases him and I try to pray at least once a day… For now I try not to have any expectations about this site… Anyway this is a quick introduction in who I amand my religious history… please, please forgive my bad English but it’s my 4th language I learned… Greeting, Martin

    • Martin, I found your testimony to be very inspiring! Don’t feel as if you are alone. I’m sure many of us on this site are living in areas where the best biblical teaching we receive are online through Unlearn and the Grafted Church. Personally, the Q&A’s are one of the highlights of my week.
      We are all sinners but you are going in the right direction. Pray every day. Repent when you commit sin, and most of all, don’t give up.

      • Hey David, thanks for your respons… yes I know I’m not alone in my belief, however in my life I’m the only one that beliefs this way… most people grew up Catholic and are nowadays half/athiest… some still believe that God exists, but they believe that when Yeshua died on the cross that the law was forfilled and no longer applies to christians in our day and age… they believe that as long as they try to be nice to people they will go to heaven… and I tried to explane the way I believe but they refuse to hear it… because you know rules are an inconvieniance and therefor they reject it… I’ve been looking for a church near me wich would be the best fit with what I believe, however all throu history this region has been Roman Catholic… so 80% of the churches are Roman Catholic… I’ve only found a Jehova’s witness church and one of those churches that speak in tongues… I don’t want to go to any of those… so I am unable to find fellowship in my proximity… wich I find very sad… well the Q&A is also my highlight of the week… so sad I can’t be a part of it because it’s like 4 in the morning so I always watch the episode after I wake up… I really like the Q&A because I have trouble reading the Bible, it seems like it’s written in a language I do not speak… I can read it but I don’t understand what I’m reading, so I like it when Lex tells us in plain english what it says and what it means 😉
