Perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a few questions so that I may have a full understanding of your belief without the risk of innacurately grouping you into a stereotype. Fair?
You believe that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and you believe he speaks to you, no?
You believe him to be the son of God, and the one true path to salvation?
Your allegence to Christ and your compliance to His Father's will surpasses all worldy committment?
Well, I don't know exactly what you are driving at...
But, yes I do believe He is the true path to God. Also, in life decisions Jesus does surpass any worldly committment. As I said He is the standard of excellence in life. I don't think anyone could deny that. Believers, or not.
I, as other Christians live and die daily by Jesus' teachings. Meaning that we are not perfect by any means. But we "try" to instill something worthy of Him with every situation.
All that said, I, personally have had life changing events happen to me that has strengthened my faith. So, I am not foolish to think that everyone has had the benefit of the unexplained, explained to them.
But, to share these experiences is worthless. Each of us has their own path. To God, or away from Him. Thank you for your questions.
