TRUTH of the divine

[cryogenicplum]

On my search for religion and spiritualiuty, I have recently come to realize (ponder): why am i asking these questions? Why am I continually asking questions about the bible? I want to dig to the root of the beliefs and find what is true to me within them...

but what if I'm just asking questions until I find the answer I want to hear?  And if I

Confused Spirituality

[erin_darcy]

Michelle, I think that you like most of us are deeply confused about your place in the universe. I have encountered similar problems when looking for the religion that fit my personality and beliefs. The truth is we are all so different that it is difficult to find a belief system that truly embodies our own set of morals. For, me I just had to look for the religion that came the closest to my own unique set of beliefs. I have come to believe that if each person thinks about what his or her own position is in the universe each person will come up with a set of morals that is unique and, in some way, different from the morals of any other individual. I don't know if I'm making any sense so I will try to use an example. Let's say you are a devout Christian, you do what your religion tells you is true and you follow the belief system that your religion teaches. Yet, the mistakes you make and the sins you commit are unique to you. No person is perfect and we each follow separate paths. The truth is we can never know for sure that we are not following a path that leads to destruction.

I chose Christianity because it is the one religion that I really feel I belong to. I don't know how I would be able to exist if I didn't believe that there was some being watching over us who brought meaning to our lives. Christianity makes me feel comfortable living in such an unfriendly world. Just to have this belief that there is much more to who I am than what I show on the surface. Just to know that there is someone who cares so much about me that He gave up his only son to give me a chance to reach eternal paradise. Just to feel that there is always someone there beside me no matter how lonely, afraid, or desperate I become. Christianity and my belief in the Lord helps me get through my most difficult days with a promise of better days in the future.

I honestly don't know if you got any sense out of what I have just said. It's always difficult for me to put the spiritual beliefs that I feel within my heart into words.
