I am a spirit-filled Christian.
I am very interested in talking with other Christian Aspies.
I also have a survey for Christian Aspies (and others on the spectrum) and how they relate to church. I am hoping I can compile the information and help other Aspies with their church experiences. If you don't mind taking about 7 minutes to do the survey, I would appreciate it.

Aspies and Church Survey

Hi! Is there any christian aspies by any chance?

I am a Christian and I have Asperger's Syndrome. I love Jesus so very much. :) "God made me according to His perfect plan. I am loved and beautiful." That is a quote that one of my online Christians friends told me to write down and say everyday. I find it really hard being a Christian Aspie. :( I have NOT been doing well lately and I would really like prayer and maybe someone to talk to. :( Thanks.

Hi! Do you feel sometimes alone as a Christian aspie?

Yes. I have tried a couple churches. But they seem to be so much focused on social things and family. I don't have any local family and I'm not that great at socializing. So I always feel left out at churches. But atleast I have God, I've learned to depend on Him when Christian friends stop being my friend.

I find it very hard as well.

As I just said to a fellow Christian in an email:

"The Apies all get angry with me because of things I say and do due to being a Christian, and the Christians all get angry with me because of things I say and do due to being an Aspie."

Basically, it feels like the whole world hates me.

:cry:

I am a Christian, but not affiliated with any church or group. Christians like that are stupid.

i just want to make my mark on here cause the conversations' a little boring, but i would just like to add, that its nice to see that i'm not alone on WP though i don't agree with a few religions on here, but what's most important, is that we spread the gospal as much as we can.

I believe Christ exists but I do not believe in church. Does that count. Probably not. No offence intended.

You can believe in Christ and not in the Church... He just wants you to go there to fellowship and learn. =)

This is a wonderful topic/discussion, so many kinds of Christians, so many different lives, so many ways of following Him. I especially like the longer posts, a deeper look inside different facets of Christianity.I feel like others here, that my Aspergers is why I never fit in with the social part of the churches I tried to 'belong' to. I like it here. Sylkat :D

I am a Christian but find it difficult to go to church because of all of the mingling afterwards. I don't feel comfortable. I just want to praise God and listen to the message not make small talk. So I don't go too often

I'm a Christian and on the spectrum as well, and I know some people would wonder why i can believe in God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, the Bible and so forth when I have a high IQ level and some people would consider me geekish or something.

And I am like well I think those who cling to the evolution theory have not bothered to question it, I mean boom if one can question creation, why can't evolution also be questioned?

Also when you look at how our bodies are put together and how every living thing is put together, you gotta ask yourself, do TV sets, CD players, Computers, Cars, Trucks, Buses, Buildings and Roads all make themselves or pop up my chance? no way, they all have intellegent designers.

Likewise I believe we could not exist without an intellegent designer, in order for our bones, muscles, organs, blood and all that to be inside of us the way it all is, someone had to have put us all together like this, and some cultures believed multiple gods were at hand in such things, although some faiths believe in just 1 God alone.

Indeed my believe is that God created us, and sure the believe I have is the Judeo-Christian (Jewish and Christian belief in creation, I do have a trace of Jewish ancestry by the way), but stories I have heard from other religions are interesting even if I disagree with said stories.

A good example is the story originating in Japan about the gods creating Japan and then the rest of the world, now I don't agree with that story as I am a believer in the Judeo-Christian doctrine, but the story of gods creating Japan and then rest of the world is interesting anyways, and while I disagree with that story I do find it more believable than evolution for sure.

Plus even if one disagrees with that Japanese story of how the world was created, you can't deny it is an interesting story, and I do like that story in spite of the fact I disagree with it.

Of course there are tribal cultures out there that do believe in 1 God in spite of having no Bibles around, which tells me that said tribes remember God since ancient times but lost contact with further details, although I am hopeful some at least believe in a promised Messiah even if said culture did not get a chance to know the name of Christ, but at least knows a Messiah is to come or is aware he had come.

Of course the Bible does call for the Gospel to be preached to all nations and in all languages, and well thanks to modern technology, it is possible to achieve such a thing, is there still work to do? of course but I believe it will be done, for the Lord wills it.
