Hey... I'm new here and I was just looking for some advice. I don't ever go to the internet for advice but if God decides to use one of you to give me an answer then I will be happy.
I am in a Christian Apostolic Church, I have disagreed with my Pastor on a few occasions, I don't believe you need to be baptized to be saved (It is important but not the point of salvation), I disagree that God turned into a Man for a little bit then went back to being God up in heaven, I believe Jesus is God, but He is part of a TRIUNE God, I disagree women need to wear veils, these are all things that my pastor believes strongly.
This is the first church I have been to in the last ten years, I am 17, I started coming 2 years ago, it is all in Spanish which I am studying, but I became a youth leader, a sunday-school teacher, a worship leader, part of homegroups and intercession group, and very active in serving, to the point where every day of the week I was at church before this quarantine.
I also have a 2 1/2 hour morning time with the Lord, so I do not use this church to compensate for my time with Him.
I have quietly disagreed with my pastor on these topics, I am a teenager, homeschooled, kinda shy and I don't think its a woman's place to question her pastor, only inquire. So if I do talk to him I would be extremely cautious of being respectful.
The issue I have is... I recently found out he is Pro-choice... In my mind this is terrible. I am sorry if any of you feel different, but to me, it is completely unbiblical and convicting. His reasoning doesn't make any sense and if you see it from my view, it is absolute murder of the innocent. I haven't talked to him yet but this is a huge problem for me, how can I be under the authority of a pastor who believes it's ok to murder children? (This is my personal view, I have my reasons for it) I have a heart for small children and babies, I think they are the most precious beings on earth, the only ones who are truly innocent sometimes.
What am I to do? I will not disrespect my pastor even though I believe he is truly in the wrong. I adore my church, its people, I have many ministries built here, I don't want to leave but I am not sure if I should stay when so many of my beliefs are in conflict with my spiritual authorities and especially his political views too! He votes for the evilest people, and I pray the Lord opens our eyes to the truth. But am I to stay under him when he is deceived?
Thank you all,
Sorry for it being so long.
