About Me:
after 56 years of life i have come to the conclusion that all of humanities religions are false. all religions have been responsible for murder, genocide, destruction of other cultures & religions in the name of their one true god/gods. But at the same time there has been much good & Love also done by believers of all religions. I base this on my own experiences with christianity and my own personal researching of history and the evil & the good that has been done in the name of Christ,Mohammad,and others. i also base this on the everyday activities,actions,and examples of how they don't follow their own teachings. Now having said all this. I don't believe that any one religion is the only path to God or is the only one that has the "TRUTH". I personally have found my own spiritual path. I've changed a lot & hopefully have grown a lot from how I was when I first came to beliefnet. At that time I was a very angry & hurt person. But this site has been cathartic for me & has helped to heal some of the pain I was in when I first came here. I'm a former Christian who at the age of 55 in 2000 turned away from & rejected Christianity. I am a former Sunday School Teacher, Lay Youth Minister in two different Denominations, former Ordained Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood of the L.D.S. before leaving them in 1968 & returning to traditional Christianity. I'm married to a wonderful Christian Lady who is also my best FRIEND & SOULMATE. We've been married since 1976. Have one Daughter who also is Christian. One of my accomplishments while a Christian was developing a course for the teens in our denomination on Women in the Bible & on their accomplishments. I've also learned to beware of a majority, but not all, of Christians & to wear protective armor to protect from the knife in the back.
I hope you and your love ones are doing well. I am sorry I have been away from beliefnet but I did not forget about you, you and your family is always in my prayers. Peace and love in Jesus Christ.
I read your profile. I see too much pain at trusting man-made "religions," their dogmas, and those Scribes and Pharisees of modern day who are tenuously guarding their imagined empire. (et tu Brutus?) I see nothing about trusting Christ, the Holy Spirit, or the Father. If you are happy where you are, there's nothing to add except to keep your heart opened because the Holy Spirit is real and he is available. Recall the baby and the bathwater. Don't give up; put your armor on. We have principalities to fight, not each other. Pax. soonvapor
