Holotrope-

Another great post friend. I always love a good discussion. I've tried it on Christian web sites but all I've had is names thrown at me like false witness, satanic, etc. It seems as soon as I prove them wrong they either ban me, insult me, I even had one guy investigate me and call my work. They can be crazy when they get proven wrong. Now to get to your post. In my belief system I believe everyone has a connection to God. It's called our conscience, it tells us right or wrong. I believe if we are honest with our conscience that is following what God wants. Thats how we can reconcile if it is Christs teachings or not his teachings. If it goes against our conscience then I would believe it's not Christ's teachings. People grow at different paces. It took me 18 years to grow to the Christian that I am today. For 15 of those years I didn't grow because I thought all I needed was to show up for church and there are alot of people like that today in the churchs. If I go to a church and all I see are rules and all the pastor talks about it rules I think it's teaching wrong Christ's teachings. What I have learnt about Christ what he wanted was us to have faith that he is who he said he is and love everyone anything more then that I think it's bogas. Faith being the key thing to have. I agree that we have to leave room to question if we don't people will not grow. I didn't question for 15 years and when I did I found out that I was taught wrong. People that taught me gave me so many rules when I looked in the Bible it said I didn't have those rules so I finally grew. All one must do is look for the answer themselfs. I believe there are three things one must always look for but will never fully find those three things will make you grow by them selfs. Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. Jesus helps me with them day to day. I hope I answered the questions if I didn't just keep on posting at me.
