I believe my religion is the best but i most importantly believe i know God. I can obviously not say that my religion is inferior but that does not mean i dont respect other religions. I do and have good friends who are not Christians.
I tolerate and appreciate people's understanding of the true divine creator and hope others do so. The unfortunate thing is that many people do not know God. Christians, Muslims and others who belong to other religions seem to be worshiping because they have been asked to do so by their parents, friends and those who reverend.
We tend to be enslaved and do not know why we practice some doctrines. What a Petty! I am writing this because i have been talking to some Christians and i realized that they want to know God but they do not know him, even some pastors do not know the God they claim to be leading others to.
I want all of us to take a moment and ask ourselves the question, WHO IS GOD?
I have a couple of writings on this issue and i will post them soon on my blog. This is just to ignite the desire in us to try and find out if we really know God and are not just following doctrines and not feeling uncomfortable serving God.
One must serve God in truth and in freedom....
I think you are right. Because of the pressure to be 'anointed' have the 'holy spirit' or whatever, being honest could well make you look bad. Many religious people have doubts, crises of faith and have no idea if a god exists. If Mother Theresa was struggling with God's silence why wouldn't the average religious person? People don't have to suffer alone and should be able to talk openly about this.
ReplyDeleteOn another issue, I would like you to write about what 'know God' means as I have no idea what you are talking about! lol
