So from about grade 6 forward my beliefs about god and the world matched my dad's world view. Which meant I could justify anything I wanted to do so long as it didn't hurt no one. Just like he did. Which is probably why I spent the next 10 years of Sundays doing whatever he did.
Quote:Got it. A kind of cafeteria belief, you (not god) get to pick and choose. Not realy the word of god but your own particular conception.yes my father knew enough bible to use it to justify whatever he did, and I picked this up as well.
Quote:Why do you need to "go into any Jesus Christ centered church and worship God one on one"?I don't need to go to church at all. I can literally do whatever I want. But the point of worship is not about you/me. It's about bringing glory to god. which is just easier in a Jesus Christ centered church.
Quote:Can't you do that on your own? If your still attending any church you're particapating in groupthink.
I go to church to help those who go to the church who are in need. again going to church is not about what I get out of it it is about giving to others.
