See the big picture. It's called The Oneness.... It's ok to trust in your path, your religion, the way that moves your heart. Rituals aren't meaningless, but we benefit from them more than God does. God is simple. God wants our hearts.... Personally, J.C. is the one that moves me. Yes, He is way, the truth and the life. No doubt about that for me. In going along with this theme of open-mindedness though, you will see that He would agree with this concept of accepting everyone as they are if you've ever read the passage below from Jeremiah. Christ doesn't belong to one religion. He is bigger than that. “The days are surely coming,” says the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,” says the LORD. “But this is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” says the LORD. “I will put my law within them and I will write it on their hearts; And I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach one another, or say to each other, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” says the LORD, “because I will forgive their iniquity and will remember their sin no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34) | Just try to see the bigger picture that's all. Perspective is so different for people. There are many beautiful paths to God. Find the one that wakes you up inside and gives meaning to your life. |
