“You believe in God, believe also in me…” Jesus
The most common faith of the people I have spoken with in recent years is not Christian but actually, a number of faiths joined by whatever works best for that individual. This is not to say that they do not hold to Christian beliefs. Most people respect Jesus and have borrowed some of his teachings-at least the ones that work for them. They may also borrow from Buddha, Mohammad, and Confucius, or anyone whose ideas will support their notions of being happy. It would be fair to say that this mixing of beliefs and practices is not truly Christian, nor is it Buddhist or Islamic or purely any other faith. Christians do not believe every notion held by other faiths is erroneous. We believe that simply borrowing from Jesus falls short of Christian faith when the only option Christ ultimately offers is to accept Him and therefore His whole message. Anything less is to miss the only point He really came to make. 6/28/2010 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
