Subject: Arnold Murray and the Bible

Hello, my name's Name Withheld, I'm 17 from California. I just read your article on pastor Murray's doctrines. I recently started watching his program and studying the word along with him. This after trying to study the bible myself and failing to understand, so that's why I liked studying with him. However, now I've read from you that he is a false teacher and man am I at a breaking point of confusion. If it were up to me I would jump into God's word and study and learn truth and get meat myself. But I feel really dumb when I try because I just can't understand, I ask God to give me ears to hear so I get it but I just can't get it. I don't know what to do so I'm guessing I'm asking for your help, I don't even know your name how rude of me as well, I feel like I'm a mess but I just want God and truth and to be with Christ an eternity ahhh idk I think I'm almost at the point of giving up.
