I am really struggling to comprehend...

That God could love me and yet judge me so harshly. It just doesn't sit right with me. The threat of going to hell if I do something wrong can really play on my mind. I don't like the thought of a God who would do that to me. How can I love a God like that? I'm seriously beginning to question my beliefs. It's not that I want to not believe in God atal. I'd just like to believe in a God who is loving and accepting of everyone. But I don't know where to start with that belief. I don't want to be pagan I've been there I know that for sure. There must be a way of believing that is outside the constraints of religion. I don't know where to look though. Plus that would mean leaving behind everything I've been taught. I'm pondering things like if I don't believe in a judgemental God does that mean I don't believe in Jesus? Or are any of his teachings still valid? It's like I have this desire for a complete shake up in my beliefs and yet I'm too scared to implement this. Simply because I'm scared of being attacked by demons again. This unsurety keeps happening, its like a cycle that repeats. It feels like I am spiritually stagnant. Like I'm not going anywhere spiritually. That this cycle is because I'm missing something but I don't know what. I'm not happy that's for sure and I miss my crystals, oracle cards and daily meditation. Something needs to change. I'm spiritually searching for a way to be me and encorporate everything I enjoy. The closest thing I've found is new age belief. But it's all about manifesting stuff and that's not what I want either. There has to be something else...

God is all full of love and forgiveness. The cult you were in teachings sounded really toxic. God being very judgemental and harsh sounds like the old testament ways. God is way past that now. He is the life giving spirit. He is literally waiting for us to turn to him he has so much love and mercy for everyone be it saint or sinner. He is not judging us harshly. He is all love and forgiveness.

@Littlewing yes I'm getting theraphy soon so I'm going to bring it up. I have moved away from Christianity though to practice Buddhism. I need a complete change. I still sometimes talk to God a little though. So I've not completely closed him off. I'm just not able to connect with him like I did at the moment. I don't know if that will change with therapy I'll have to see how I feel because right now I just can't go too deep with God because it brings up old wounds and fears.
