"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand."
I felt like, because I had left the LC, that meant I was outside of God's hand, then was God even real, because he promised to not let anyone be snatched out of his hand.
It's interesting though, since getting in touch with others who have left the LC I feel like my faith is being restored. I realise that the LC was not where God wanted me, but I still have issues, I don't know which teachings the LC taught are true and which I need to reject, and I still have some fundamental doubts about the bible.

Decades ago I went thru a similar thing.
At first, after getting the boot, I felt I was no longer in God's eternal purpose. So I let go of it all. I had to, for the sake of my sanity.
But God came back around ; He coming to me, not me doing the coming.
Still, like you, I still have doubts about the Bible.
