Have you too many questions before you can turn to God?
While there's nothing we can do about the past, we must remember that even though we don't have all the answers, we are not God, nor gods. That is, we can't begin to figure out an infinite God with our finite minds. If we had been meant to know all the answers, I'm certain God would have given us that knowledge and ability. As it stands, he gave us exactly what we need to know, and he didn't even have to do that.
We must remember....there's no figuring God out, and there are way more different sides and reasons of things than we could ever imagine, so for us to make a judgement based on only what we know, is ludicrous. Further, for any of us to make a judgement on the all-wise, all-knowing, totally perfect, non-sinning, eternal God of this entire universe, is the height of arrogance and hypocrisy. We are not smarter nor wiser, than God. We should just be grateful Jesus loved us enough to provide us a way to have eternal life in heaven with him. If it weren't for Him, we'd ALL be headed for an eternity in hell.
Will we miss heaven, because we were so consumed with having all the answers, instead of asking the most important question of our life, which is, "How can I have eternal life?" How foolish. That would be more than a shame. It would be the biggest mistake of your life. You only get one shot in this life. You must make it count, as there are no second chances. Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. It's just not worth losing your soul over. Jesus is just a prayer away, and will forgive you of your sins, and bring you back into fellowship with Him, if you'll only ask Him.
Mark 8:36 - "For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?"
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever (that means you) believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
He never turns anyone away.
