Why wouldn't it be? What one believes is personal and every-ones personal beliefs are valid.

Here's the thing. A lot of people mistakenly believe that religion is the thing that saves them, that becomes the center of their attention, rather than love. It is a relationship with God that needs to be the focus of a person's life, not a religion.
When you have a relationship, it results in religion. That doesn't mean penance or confessions, either. What it means is that when you have a relationship with God, certain behaviour results from it. Wishing to serve him and follow his word, wishing to please him in all you do, serving those who are less fortunate, showing compassion on those who do not have a relationship with God. Religion isn't a cause of behavior, it's a result of a relationship. It's the side effect.

You may "believe" in any thing you wish... All "religion is man invented. no "religion' has anything to do with God.
Those of The True Christian Faith do not follow any man invented "religion" The relationship of God to those of The Faith is one-on-one and personal. no religion involved.
There is only one God. Come to God in The Way He proscribes and you will receive His free gift of Salvation.
If you choose not to... that is your loss
I accept honest email questions concerning the basics of The Christian Faith.

yes you can! religion has gotten kinda out of controll for years now. Many have forgotten that it is all about GOD...not about money, power, or anyhting else. Find God first.... then later if you want to, find a religion that supports your beliefs!

yes that is ok
jesus often rebuked the religious leaders of his day because they led the poepl astray, paraded their religion around liek a trophey and were generally hypocrites. Jesus didn't come to spread a religion, only a message of salvation.

Hi,
Abraham not only believed in God but is considered the Father of our faith and he did not possess a bible. He simply listened to God through the conscience and trusted what God spoke to him. Denominations give you a creed to follow and hold you to the earth with it. To answer your question...YES.

Of course, because it's not about a "religion," it's all about the "relationship" we have with God. The Bible clearly states that in order to attain immortality in Heaven, we must place our faith and trust in Christ as our Savior. Simple as that! :-)

i believe in God but religion is a crock. they have hidden God's true word from man long enough. the dead sea scrolls are just one example. i have God in my heart and we are all one with all.
God loves us and that is the word he wants us to know. his love is for all, for we are all one with him. he is pure unadulterated love. walk with him daily and let his light shine thru us for all the world to see.
blessed be,
Elizabeth
