Peace be with you.
I agree with this "Just because you walk into a garage it does not mean that you are a car." Too many so called Christians go to church and are not really Christians. Still, there are a chosen few that are givers to the poor and needy. We need to humble ourselves, help our brothers and sisters and not be so greedy.

Amen

I have always said you don't have to got ot church to believe and we all find our own way of conecting with Jesus, and yes Felix I have seen the many hyprocrits that enter through the doors,
You've made this fully understandable. Thank you,
Love your Cuz, Rose XOXO

I can understand what you are saying, but if we only talk to God and Jesus and not suppost the church, then eventually people will not have churches and the word will not be spread. I can only imagine what the world would be like without God in it with us. I won't try to convince you that you are wrong in your feelings, and it is good that you pray, or talk to Jesus, but there is more than that. We all need to share the joy of Christ with the world.

I know what you are saying!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Lovew Tinka

you speak of the false church wisely ... we are our own temples ...

Yes, yes Dear Felix! Couldn't agree more!
"...total blind faith... " is the way of old days!
Thank God we're finally questioning, examining and addressing our individual soul experience... -- The realization from which brings unity to our essential oneness as humans! Love is the result!
Love it!
Love, Suzie :-D

I know that of which you express, Felix. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

A powerful and honest write, Felix. So much truth here, wonderful penned.
Love, Birgit and Roger

i was attended a church that i truely loved but one day it come to light that I was amongest hypocrites. On Sunday they were telling me not to do something that on Monday they were doing. I walked away for that church and found my faith on my own. This has made my life happier. bless you for this write.Pamela

As I struggle to find my place, I can say I truly relate to this one and appreciate its honesty coming from you

I believe there is a difference between 'religion' and 'spirituality'. As my bumper sticker says, "God needs more spiritual fruit, not religious nuts!"...

You have many others here who share your relationship with God. The temple most hloy is your body Fee and God hears you where ever you choose to worship...at least this is what I believe too although I attend church regularly.

My dearest, gentle friend, allow me to share my thoughts through a quote:
“(…) you know, sometimes there will be a man, a very righteous, very virtuous, very austere man, a Cato who has never abided by anything but his duty and the law… And yet, nobody likes him, nobody reaches out for him. Why? Because he has never given, never forgiven, never cherished, and never assisted. Then, right beside him, there will be another man – flippant, careless, with flaws, with guilt, a man who may even have forgotten his duty or may even have broken the law… but then, he is loving, generous, devoted, supportive, always has a kind word, a gentle touch; and thus, everybody loves him, and I wonder, may God forgive me, if God himself does not prefer him too…” – José Maria Eça de Queirós, in his novel “The Illustrious House of Ramires”
You are loving, generous, devoted, supportive, always have a kind word, a gentle touch. You are a good man… and I know that God – the Essence that feels the Essence beyond the apparent Substance- knows that. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{many hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
With all Love&Light*
