I never said I’m a HinduBy the way, which Hindu deity was that?
??Why are you keen for me to call you a liar?
So what is your faith?I never said I’m a Hindu
Love is love is love.So what is your faith?
Sure, and the devil is the counterfit king in this world.??
I literally said the opposite.
My point is people believe they have experiences with the “Holy Spirit” or “God” and that serves as justification in the individual’s eyes to believe in what they believe. My experiences used to be the backbone of my faith.
What you do is up to you, how do you suppose I justify/explain my faith by avoiding the greatest thing that ever happened to me about that faith, or anything for that matter?Is experience and perception both fallible and questionable? I think so, so I don’t use my “experience” with God as talking points when trying to show my religion is “true”.
Can/will you elaborate on what this experience is/was?how do you suppose I justify/explain my faith by avoiding the greatest thing that ever happened to me about that faith, or anything for that matter?
I see, so the man who loves killing is ok then?Love is love is love.
That’s all there is to it.
I didn’t say that, what I said was-I see, so the man who loves killing is ok then?
It's personal, those close to me know, it's not going to make any difference to anyone else on here, nor am I unique in this respect.Can/will you elaborate on what this experience is/was?
I can answer that for you, it is meaningless without context. A serial killer can use it to justify his actions, it has no moral or ethical basis.I didn’t say that, what I said was-
Love is love is love.
These words are my Bible. They run deep and are all encompassing. I have yet to grasp and understand the phrase myself.
But I bet you use them to try to justify your own faith.??

Aye I empathize. I don’t/can’t share my experiences in detail. And ultimately testimonies shared on a forum can be perceived as simply words to many.It's personal, those close to me know, it's not going to make any difference to anyone else on here, nor am I unique in this respect.
Not anymore. I just move with the motions and by doing that, I find myself spiritual. It is my natural stateBut I bet you use them to try to justify your own faith.
I personally believe we'd be remiss to discard personal experiences.Aye I empathize. I don’t/can’t share my experiences in detail. And ultimately testimonies shared on a forum can be perceived as simply words to many.
I’ll just once again iterate that I believe perception is fallible and experiences should be questioned. I’ve seen God face to face but that is not why I believe anymore nor is it a valid reason for me to believe.
Use the whole universe and the totality of your experiences as contextit is meaningless without context
I'd say a 1:1 with God is about as much justification as you could ever ask for.Aye I empathize. I don’t/can’t share my experiences in detail. And ultimately testimonies shared on a forum can be perceived as simply words to many.

I'm a detail kind of guy, vague flim flammery doesn't really cut it for me I'm afraid, this also makes it very easy for me to rule out most faiths (prior to my visit from the Holy Spirit).Use the whole universe and the totality of your experiences as context
Yes, I used to think so too. I’ve already reiterated my stance though why I don’t think so anymore. I suppose I didn’t go too much in depth of why I believe perception is questionable. But I think I can leave this at that.I'd say a 1:1 with God is about as much justification as you could ever ask for.
In my own experience God doesn't leave any room for doubts on this matter.Yes, I used to think so too. I’ve already reiterated my stance though why I don’t think so anymore. I suppose I didn’t go too much in depth of why I believe perception is questionable. But I think I can leave this at that.
I suppose you are right. I’m thinking about it right now, and I guess I just do what “feels” right experientially. It is grounded in personal experience, but I suppose the key difference I have in my perspective is that personal experience is a fallible method of acquiring knowledge.I personally believe we'd be remiss to discard personal experiences.
