Several years ago, when I was hit with the realization that there are too many religions.
Differing ideologies that separate good people.
I looked inward and found my own salvation.
My belief:
When we are born, our souls are bright white and unsoiled.
As we progress through life the soul either stays bright or darkens.
Live in a just way, and the soul remains white but stray submitting to your own foul devices and the soul starts to turn darker.
Upon death the soul is harvested and depending on the shading of the soul is determined to be fruitful or ruined.
Some may be gray but still has more light than dark.
The good fruit joins the rest of the crop while the ruined fruit is destroyed.
What do you think?

I am really trying to understand your point of view but it is some what distorted. Looking within ones self we are determined to find something (the truth).... If this works for you then go with it...
The dark and white... sounds a bit racial to me... I don't know but it sounds to me like you are saying white folk will be pure while dark folk will be demonic... Just a theory... couldn't really tell what you meant.

Not even the judicial system works this way. If you are convicted of a murder, they don't say its ok because you haven't killed billions of other people in the world. The fact that you didn't kill billions of other people doesn't outweigh the fact that you killed one.
Who sets the standards for morality? Is there absolute truth? What is just and unjust?

I think this idea assumes a God so incompetent that he can't even organize a simple educational field excursion and get all of the student’s home safely.
This amounts to saying that God has a plan for your salvation, but it is not going to work.
How likely is that?
Sorry little idea of God isn't it.
My God has a plan to get each and every one of us home safely, that is going to work.
This is what real faith sounds like. That first idea is only partial faith.
My faith in my God is perfect, not partial.
Maybe you should look into trading your small g god and his plan that is not going to work in on my big G God With the real plan. He’s actually pretty big. Looks like There’s room for all of us over here.
Love and blessings

The Bible says that we are born in iniquity and are incapable of obtaining our own salvation, and unless we trun to Jesus Christ and are reborn spiritually and given a new nature we will all perish for eternity. You can write your own Bible but there will still be many of us who will believe the Bible to be God's Word and will trust Him for our eternal life.

It's a good metaphor.
May your soul remain ever bright!

When I say I am a Christian — by Maya Angelou
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow

It sounds fine until you get to the part about fruit. Also, there should be some provisin for tarnished souls to get back their shine!

What I think is you should go on the Internet and apply for a preachers license....then buy a little piece of land....then build yourself a little church....invite some people who have your mind-set....then you can talk about this stuff forever.

Off the charts wrong. People complicate things when it is so simple. Accept God as your Lord and Savior. End of discussion.
