Here is a newsflash for y'all!
Religion to me, is one's own personal "outward" expression of an inward faith!
I have been a Christian since I was age 8. I've stumbled a few times, fell down and bruised my shins, but I always got back up and perservered. But, I would never have gotten where I am today, if I hadn't cast off "religion".
All those things that are suppose to signify to the world: "I'm A Christian!" I truly believe that no one can tell another person how to walk. Not entirely! We can suggest, and we can lead by example, but when it comes right down to it we have to learn to do it on our own. And we do it, more times than not, thru life's experiences. Getting up and falling down!
If one is serious about his personal growth as a person, I believe, for me, there is no other way.
The things that I believe about doctrine, are just that. They are doctrine. I believe the Bible is the "inspired" word of God, and I read it because I am always in pursuit of understanding and seeing how it can apply to my life.
Tell me what you think!....
