Why do you follow your religion?

  • #131 I believe for me independent thinking was encouraged but then I was raised Baptist where that is considered a good thing.
  • "Trinity" is a Pauline invention, (Jesus)Yeshua- the truthful Israelite Messiah ( who was neither a Zealot, nor he belonged to the Zionism people nor to the Judaism people), neither knew it nor spoke this misleading " word" please, right?
It is very natural that one remains steadfast on whatever religion one was born in, but then remains open for the Truth, wherever it comes from and whenever it comes, with reasons and arguments, please, right?

(Clue:-
1:5 Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.)
1:6 Guide us in the right path —

Regards

The first chapter of the Exhortation (the all time most read religious) is the summary of the whole, one could get the detail of the three groups:
  1. the blessed by G-d
  2. those who incurred G-d's displeasure
  3. those gone astray from G-d's path/way
One may like to read the whole of the Exhortation from cover to cover; no harm, please; no compulsion however, right, please?

Since you continue using the expression "Judaism people," are you saying please right that Jesus was not a Jew? Yes/no/please/right/wrong -- which is it? thank you please yes.

Why do you follow your religion?

I answer my question first:blush:

My religion is new age and omnism. I follow new age because I believe it is logical. I also follow new age because I think all religions have something beautiful and holy about them. I can't choose between the different religions, I can't do it. I love songs and worship from different religions. I feel belonging to many religions.

New age beliefs is that God's presense is everywere, that God's presense is also in the soul. Both the souls to human and souls to animals is divine because we are God's children. All souls is from the same source, who is God. And God are love. Because of that our souls is also love. Because of that all people are one. New age belief is also in reincarnation. I believe strongly in reincarnation. New age belief is that God has no religion. God is beyond religion

New age beliefs is also the belief in omnism. Omnism the belief that no religion is the only truth, but that truth is found within them all.
Omnists do not believe one spesific religion, if that was the case then it is not logical.

An analogy that support omnism is this:

Four blind men who discover an elephant.
Since the men have never encountered an elephant, they grope about, seeking to understand and describe this new phenomenon.
One grasps the trunk and concludes it is a snake.
Another explores one of the elephant's legs and describes it as a tree. A third finds the elephant's tail and announces that it is a rope.
And the fourth blind man, after discovering the elephant's side, concludes that it is, after all, a wall.
Each, in his blindness, is describing the same thing: an elephant. Yet each describes the same thing in a radically different way.

This was written by David Horner The Blind Men and the Elephant

Also almost all religions share this: belief in God, hell/heaven/reincarnation, holy souls or prophets, to be loving to others, prayers, ethical rules

.
The Blind Men and the Elephant, by American poet John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887), six blind men meet an elephant for the first time and each man touches a different part of the elephant and makes predictions about what the elephant is like.

This story really I believe dates back to about 500BC.
 
I follow my religion because that is the religion God gave to me to follow. I prayed to God and asked God to show me to the true religion that follows his word. Three days later the Jehovah Witnesses knocked on my door. That is when I knew they where the religion from God that I prayed to.
