going back to church seeing a congregation worship relating to an unseen presence one that you do not sense must seem strange are they mad? deluded? are they hypocrites? maybe just detached form reality --- they are neither deluded nor mad hypocrites? not necessarily but scoundrels exist in all realities detached from reality? from your reality as you are from theirs then you begin to question yourself are you out to lunch? mad? deluded? possibly. but not necessarily indeed you are no more likely to be so then they are + the difference between those who believe and those who don�t the level of perversity

John, Man has mucked God's instructions and replaced them with his own--leaving out God entirely, in my opinion--the old, old message is forgotten--heartbreaking! (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. OUTSTANDING, thought provoking series--thank you for speaking boldly!

The search for God, or truth, will always raise more questions that it answers if the quest is sincere. You are convicted in your heart one way or the other. No amount of ritual, good works, self-chastisement, pilgrimage or outward striving will make you any more spiritual. But study and contemplation have merit. Yes, being human, scoundrels exist in all realities...

That is good discernment, those with real tribulation will seek God and church more easily than those in comfort. However, I think the clergy and church doctrine make the message too cluttered and confused. The simple message God gave was that we simply believe and when we do, the rest will follow. When we accept Him , his spirit then begins to work in us, if we let it. Then church can continue with the teachings. Eileen
