Hi Mindy, I became nondenominational,Just a follower of Jesus Christ. To me nothing but my relationship with my Lord has changed. I have come closer to His Heart and have become the person He has called me to be.I encourage you to pray and seek the Lord to see where He wants you to be. God Bless.
Thanks. I like attending services and such, which is why I’m trying to find a new place to go. The university I attend is Catholic-oriented and they don’t offer any advice regarding other religions except to stay away from anything that’s not Catholic. There aren’t even any non-denominational student groups allowed. If it wasn’t for the scholarship, I’d transfer.
I respect what you believe but I am here to tell you that there is only one way to the Father and that is through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus said I am the Way,The Truth, And the Life. Without Jesus you will not see the kingdom of Heaven. .I disagree with you for Wicca will point you in the other direction. There is only one who can fill the void in your soul and that is Jesus Christ because that is the way God created you.
I completely agree with this post. The truth is the truth, whether one believes it or not…it’s still the truth. Religion is not (and should not) be like Burger King. You don’t get to have it “your way”. It seems all to common these days to hear people say “well I don’t agree with that,” so they go look for a church that conforms to their views. If they don’t end up liking that church, they go and find another. Unfortunately this is backwards. People should be willing to let go of their personal preferences if they are contrary to truth, especially when one’s eternal soul is on the line.I respect what you believe but I am here to tell you that there is only one way to the Father and that is through His Son Jesus Christ.

You should do this as a Poll, then we could see the results histogram.
No there isn’t.
So what?
I will.
It won’t.

You put things so nicely. Descibed my thoughts exaclty. Thank you.
The Bible (especially OT) doesn’t support this (concerning the Christian God, Yahweh).
Love and the threat of hell are mutually exclusive.
We do not deny Him (the Creator), just the man-made doctrines that are told us of Him.
Agreed. Christianity isn’t it (the Christian God is real, but Christian truth-claims such as monotheism and hell are false).
There is no hell.
Good. I trust the Father of Light knows what the real spiritual blinders are.
Love and the threat of hell are mutually exclusive. How many times am I going to have to say that?
It may hurt the Christian God, perhaps (and even then, He does accept Jews without Jesus); but the assumption that the Judaeo-Christian God is the only one, the Creator-God of All Things, is unsupported.
“Patient and loving” and sending/allowing people to go to a place of eternal torture don’t seem to mix. He also seems to be a jealous God, if I cannot worship the Divine in any other form but him.
No it isn’t. One day I typed in a search engine “Wiccan Forums” and somewhere in the list this site came up talking about the “evils” of Wicca, so I decided to check it out.
I may be denying the Bible’s description of the Divine, but I am not denying the Divine. I still have faith.
For some, but not for everyone.
Spirits have not told me anything regarding God. And I don’t believe in hell.
Thank you.
Okay Dawn and Blessedbe13, do it your way,but I want you to know that Gods Words are Truth. Life and death is in the power of the tongue.Its your choice for God does not force himself on anyone. Choose Life or Choose Death. We are going to be held accountable for ouselves,we all will come before the Lord Jesus Christ for judgement whether you accept Him or you reject Him.I now wash my hands and move on. There are so many souls that are waiting to hear the Good News . So I continue in Jesus name.
Sure. Now all you’ve got to do is prove the Bible is really God’s words.
S’right. And for what we do wrong, we pay. I believe there are no free gifts, and no blood of crucified saviour will ever wash all those away.
I don’t regard it as good news.
There’s a formal, Latin name for this type of argument: Argumentum ad Baculum, literally “Argument from the Stick”, meaning Appeal to Force or Fear. This is the argument that the school bully uses to make less able-bodied schoolkids comply to his demands: “Give me that quarter or you get a knuckle sandwich.” If there’s anything that can turn me, a spiritual seeker, away from a religion, it’s this, the Argumentum ad Baculum. Your signature says “Apologist in Training”—so here’s your first lesson in apologetics and evangelism: the appeal to the fear of people by the force of threat only works on the feeble-hearted and opportunists and shrewdly-calculating businessmen. For me, who look upon nothing but the spiritual merit of each religion, this appeal is no less short of blasphemy against God and cheapening spirituality to the level of prostitution.
