Blog #3 What I believe

I believe in the Lord Our God, the son of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.  I have faith that they exist, and they are one.  Not because I have seen with my eyes, but because my soul knows that there is an infinite wisdom that my heart desires, and knows that I was created in the image of a greater being.  Trusting and having faith in someone who is not there.  To have faith in someone you cannot see nor hear, nor have never met.  To know that you are one with God because he loves you, and loves you so much that he gave his only son for you.  To feel that no matter what happens in this world, someone and something, awaits you and it's far better than you can ever imagine.  That is what I believe in.  I believe in my Father.  The creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is seen and unseen.  He is my power and my light.  Without him I am nothing.
I have been through many hard times in my life, and he has seen me through it all.  I cannot imagine ever walking away from God, or not accepting Jesus as my savior.   He does exist. 
God is not Religion.  God just Is.  God is in your heart, he is in your words, and he is in your actions.  God is everywhere.  The catch is, you have to want him to be in your life.  You have to welcome him.  He wants you to want him.  He wants you to believe.  "In as much as a mustard seed".  All it takes is to ask him into your life and to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and ask God to bring the Holy Spirit into your heart, and you are born again into the Lord.  Give your life to God.  It is that simple.
I believe this to be true, and no one, but no one will ever take my beliefs away from me.  There is nothing anyone can say to disprove that my God and Father exists, nor that Jesus Christ is his son.  I don't have to prove they exist to know they exist.  That's what faith is all about.
There is no amount of "Critical Thinking" that can argue any fact to a believer that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that the Son and God are one.   It is not something that you are taught, it is something that you come to believe is true, whether at a young age (all your life) or as an adult. 
However, Religion is totally up for grabs.  There are so many views who to say who or which is right?  I grew up Catholic.  The Catholic's say that they are the "True" religion.  Yet they have two kinds of sin.  Mortal (at one time meant unforgivable) and Venial (forgivable).  Now if you read the Bible, the Bible states that Jesus died for all sins, so how can one sin be more sinful than another?  Also, the Bible states that you should not have worship any Gods but God himself, and yet they pray to Saints.  Now I am not one to say they are wrong, but they were not right for me, and I walked away.  I have entered Baptist, Mormon, Christian, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Jehovah's Witness and Lutheran Churches just to say that I know a little about all of them.  Thing is, religion to me is an organization that I would rather not belong to.  I would hate to follow one and come to the end of my life to find that I was doing it all wrong.
Every once in a while you might find me in Services, because I like to get in touch with the Holy Spirit in me, so don't DAMN me for it when you see me singing to the Heavens along with everyone else.  Singing ain't never hurt nobody.
