Why did you Change your Beliefs?

I was raised Roman Catholic, baptised...confirmed...etc. I went to catholic school my whole life. When my parents seperated, I continued to go to catholic school, but I lived in a small southern town, with my mother. Many of her friends pressured her to go to the local churches there. It was all an aspect of social life in small southern towns. We tried church of christ, baptist, etc. All because of one friend or another of my mothers.

Long story short, every christian religous denomination to which I have been exposed, has shown that god is no longer the focus of the very religions that surround him. Therefore I have decided to maintain a personal relationship with an undefinable being that may or may not exist.

Works the other way around too....Many people who were Christian no longer believe in god...

I never said that didn't happen, It can very well happen.

If you had a friend who you thought was in danger would you let them continue down that path or try and help them

I said, don't think about the religion thing for the question. I only want to help a friend. But of course you also have the way of the Devil. God have mercy upon your soul.

But you were the one that stated if others don't believe like you then they will be condemned.....And stating things...once you get face to god you'll be sorry kind of thing, and devil in your heart....

BTW...there is no devil.....It's a teaching that was founded on older pagan beliefs that came into the Christian church...

And I do have many friends that are Christians......I believe what Jesus was trying to say was that we should act the part...fruits, that is...That's how you will known...

First off, Debbiejo is one of the sweetest, least judgmental people I've encountered on these forums. She is ten times more open-minded than anyone else I have encountered here. The very fact that you can tell her that the devil is behind her words, simply shows off your inability to be a truely god-like person. The reason she still manages to get under the skin of people like yourself is because she didn't learn one point of view and decide to stick with it for the rest of her life. She attempts to understand others POV and make her own conclusions in life. The simple fact that you condemn her for thet, is only more evidence of the massive problems that exist in the lives of people like you.

Gonna buy you a pizza and a beer for that.... 🙂

It's just her denomination that all who don't believe like herself are denying god and if so, we all....everyone has the devil in them.

What the ****? You judging us, means we are judging you, means we are judging each other, which means that god isn't paying attention...or something???? I have no idea what you're saying, seriously.

Well maybe if the whole world becomes Christian then there won't be anymore earthquakes, tornadoes, wars, tsunamis and diseases...Is that how it works?
