As I have said, I've returned to Christianity. Often, I wonder what it means. Will I have to become the mainstream Christian down to every small belief? Will I lack in spiritual knowledge?
When I look down in my heart, I feel the answer to these questions. I have to become my own kind of Christian, the kind of Christ follower I feel needs to exist more often: The Christ follower that is open to all, the Christ follower that embraces all with love, trust and respect no matter who they are or what they've done.
I will be the Christian who does not attend anti gay rallies, pro life protest, and other such protest that show a hatred or disgust towards the life style and choices of others. Why I will not do this is because I feel like it goes against Christ and against the notion that we are not to judge others. I know, that no matter what is right or wrong, there will be a pregnant female who will abort her child for fear-- and that there will always be people who wish to spend the rest of their lives with those whom they love of the same sex. What I say to this is that this is their life style and choice-- that it is between them and God. Not them, God, and I. No.
Christians must love everyone and be understanding of the world around them environmentally, socially, religiously, spiritually, aside from personally.
Constantly, I am sick of seeing one minded Christians/ Catholics, so eager to hate in order to prove their loyalty to God. They are so eager to put themselves above everyone else in the world-- so full of their ego. "“I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.” MLK jr. I feel the exact same way.
I will become my own Christ follower. I want my Christian experience to shed nothing but love, understanding and hope-- to distance myself away from hatred.
I have lately attended Church-- To find a religious habit that suits my spirituality.
Hope. :)
