Why do you follow your religion?

Rather , isn't it an admission that one's methodology is of isolation, right, please?

@paarsurrey, your profile signature indicates you, also, are an Omnist though you don't use the term. What brought you to accepting all religions with love?

Isn't it enough that I/we accept truth of/in all the truthful religions ;or using the term Omnist is essential, please, right??

Labels are not needed. I was just wondering how you became to be open to all. If you had a story to share.
Namaste

Is there any belief system that doesn't require adherents to jump through a hoop or 2? If so, which one(s)?
About what? The discussion was on Monotheism and the belief in God being monotheism, there are no hoops to jump in Islam.

Cheers.

That's irrelevant to what I was talking about. Cheers.

Complaining about others jumping through hoops for their belief system while you yourself have to jump through equally implausible hoops for yours is relevant though.

You don't accept their rationalisations, and they don't accept yours and the neutral generally rejects both.

That the same omnipotent god can manifest itself in multiple ways is hardly the most implausible Abrahamic tenet.

Would you say Christianity is Tawhid?
I believe so but Islam has often in its interpretation moved away from that to a trinity concept which the Qu'ran forbids. Sometimes we get Christians saying something similar to three Gods and that is not the true Trinity.

Islam has moved towards a "trinity concept"? Can you give an example?

I can't say I follow my religion. I was raised in my religion, and I continue to branch out from it, yet remain firmly rooted in it via the basics of it. Truth obligations, honor obligations to truth, and remaining open to receive guidance through accuracy and correct and truthful realities/current affairs is typically the crux of my following and honor. The way of truth and life was the way I learned my teacher. Spirit of truth

Edit: I increase my understanding through various channels able to help me learn more about it, its history, and the various applications of its branches. I continue to learn of my religion, but I don't necessarily follow it as a Christian belonging to the Abrahamic root systems.

Sounds like a good example/description of how culture and religion evolves to me.

I can see why you call yourself a Christian evolutionist.

"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?

  • #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.)
Regards

Spiritually cannot be about logic only. It's more about the mystery. It's about being humble, about knowing we know nothing in the big picture.

But one cannot escape logic. If logic is out, we cannot have a discussion. So end of discussion. Cheers.
I am not quite so ready to ditch the logic. I find it far more believable that if anything spiritual exists, much of the logic involved is totally beyond our current understanding.

And that's why, IMO, we can't insist on logic. Our "logical minds" are still in development. We still are evolving.

You mean their nature is beyond your current understanding. Not logic. Your statement is making a category error.

The Trinity is in John 14 which proves your statement is false.
