(This is an archived correspondence at The Path of Truth. We have sent notification to the correspondent.)
Hi Victor/Paul. I have been searching to know who God really. I believe in him and I also believe he really loves me. I left the SDA church about 2/ years ago. I thirst to know the truth. I also have a lot of mixed feelings(fear of not being right).
By The way my name is Dinette and I am from the Caribbean (St. Lucia). My heart needs to be in the right place.

Re: Searching to know who God really is
Hi Victor/Paul. I am writing to ask about tithing. I don't know everything but I don't believe in religion but in the ten commandments. What do I do with my tithe.

Re: Searching to know who God really is
Hi Dinette,
You say you believe God loves you. Indeed He does, which is why He brought you here in order to hear the Truth and to learn His ways that bring life and the peace you've lacked.
John 3:16-21 MKJV
(16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
(17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
(18) He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
(19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
(20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
(21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
You have come to the Light - the revelation and teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ He has given us. Your thirst for the truth will be quenched as you learn His ways and walk in them. You will be set free as the Lord promised:
“Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32 MKJV).
