Although my faith has been renowned. I still believe that many of us can follow the teachings of Christ and his righteousness. Doesn’t mean that my righteousness views are going to be the same as everyone else’s. We are all different and view things differently. It doesn’t make sense to me that if a god is loving and so vast in his creation that he would create each of us the with the same perspective. So, although I believe we should have high value and be righteous towards god. Being one that follows the same views as another is not agreeable to me. If one church is saying the Bible says we are all sinners. You must know that. I think deep down it may be true for that era of time that they were all sinners. They did very wrong things apart from gods righteousness. I think we can all agree though that most people make mistakes and don’t know god and who god really is to us. That is the most important questions because god is so vast and moving and shows up in different ways. It’s important to recognize that he may not be the same god as another. Just because we don’t agree that my god and your god are the same doesn’t mean we are wrong and should go to hell for it. Why people get so mixed in this idea is beyond me and not sustainable for human lives and culture. One thing does remain and brings us in unity as the ideology that there is a god of creation.
I remember as a child sitting in Jesus school and not understanding any of it. It causes me to question myself a lot as a child. I wanted to be a boy. And I was forced to be a girl because that was my birth order. I didn’t fit in with the girls. I didn’t like doing make up and dressing up. I didnt like boys like that. I liked playing with them. But I do remember knowing in my heart that something may or may not be listening to me when I would talk to myself or wish upon a star.
I remember my dream was to find my best friend. Someone I can cling to and love. Although I was very shy and quiet I knew how to play games very well. So I did have friends very few for that reason. As I got older, I would say I did find my best friend. It took a long time and once I did she brought me even more closer to god and that’s when I knew it was real. God was real. He answered my prayer and she taught me her ideas and beliefs. I realized I hadn’t really had any of my own. I spent a lot of my life hating myself.
I will say this the truth lies in your heart. The truth of who you are and the truth of who god is to you shouldn’t be a battle. That’s where society has gotten it wrong. The Bible can be interpreted in many ways and that’s because we all have different minds. The minds and hearts we have are no mistake. We should be killing each other over it but embracing and connecting the best way we can about it. If we continue down the road of this idea that there is a battle field of good and evil, then we continue to hurt each other. That is my knowing since it has been going on for centuries and history keeps repeating itself for this reason.
