Isn't your point of view based on what you are describing as why i have mine?
"fastguitars, you believe what you believe based on what you have been taught to believe".
Well, Kellerman, welcome to yourself, as what you believe is based on your group, and your point of view is consistent with those you classify as your "church".
As for me, im not a part of denominational thinking.
Why is that? Its because Christianity is not a religion, and Denominations were not created by Christ or by the Apostles.
Denominations are the work of MEN, who decided that "their opinion" was going to be the rules and regulations that defined THEIR Denomination., and so, they are defining your point of view, which you think, is you own point of view.
Not quite.
So, setting the traditions of men aside, and all the POV that create religious POV, let me just just say this...
Jesus is real. He died on the Cross. He came out of the Grave. And He said that "No person comes to the Father by by ME".
If this is not true, then there is no reason not to keep believing what your particular "church" teaches, which is...>"your opinion is truth, and all truth is relative".
