There are those who seem to have always had discernment, the ability to "just know" things of spirit, their whole lives. I am one. I don't necessarily need to quote anything, or anyone, and have always rejected efforts to spoon-feed me. But I do read spiritual books, and I feel that I have a grasp on the Bible's meaning as opposed to what many others read into it.
Yes, I have faith in the presence of Something greater than me, that created me one with itself, as it created all. My experiences are only of love that cannot be compared to any idea I ever had of what love is. This is the real truth...that there is one teaching, and all teach it. There is no disheartened superbeing, separate from all he created, angry, and attacking even those who pray and profess their adoration for him; this is my faith, and it is why I have been answering questions in this forum for about a year now.
I usually do not write such long answers, and only when I feel a strong need...

Sure I can.
I am the ocean, you are the raindrops. We are the same. You raindrops, because of your similar size and location, see yourselves as separate, as units, as individuals. This perception of your selves has been your only reality since you were born in the clouds. You have no other perspective of your selves. As you fall through your short lives here, you see the ocean far below. On a certain level you understand that it and you are one and the same. You envy its magnificence. The thought comes,” I am water too, am I not also part of this magnificence?” Then you realize that you are but an insignificant raindrop. You can only look at that distant ocean in awe. The ocean with its timeless knowledge sees you quite differently. It sees you for what you really are. Its most precious children, bravely returning home to share the experience that ocean as a whole could never have experienced. The ocean has nothing but love for you. Because it understands that it is you, and that you are it. It knows only truth. Until the moment you reunite you can only speculate. The ocean's love for you is unconditional. It holds no foolish thought of punishing you for not falling quite right. It only waits with great patience for your homecoming.
The tiny collisions you had with the other drops on the way down, at the time seemed so significant. Often you feared that if you mingled with them too long you might get to close and in the process even lose your identity. All this because you understood your true identity not! You are ocean, you always were ocean, you always will be ocean. How you currently perceive yourself raindrop, snow flake, puddle, stream, River, or lake matters not. This is all illusion, only perception. You are ocean, you are spirit. You and I are one; we are the All That Is!
Love and blessings

Truth, as it relates to spirituality, is all about the individual. Religion just tries to market something that few have experienced and explain it to those who have not had the experience. Something is lost and people fill in the gaps with some of the funniest things. It all comes down to you and your relationship with the Divine in whatever form you see It as. The human spirit is universal. There is no One True Faith that makes all others False and Paths to Damnation. That is the extremist talk of someone in a fanatical cult, like Christianity and Islam. You could worship a bar of chocolate and, as long as you are seeking positive things, you will come out in your next life just as good as someone seeking Christ or Mohammad. Faith is about following what you know is right. Kindness, compassion, humility, joy, humor, spiritual/intellectual pursuits. These are 'truths' that I seek out. Find what is right to you. Make a list and keep it and add to it or subtract from it as you go on in your quest. The thing about spirituality is this: you have your whole life to do it and it takes your whole life to do it too. Aerosmith's singer once said 'life's a journey, not a destination' and that is so true. Personal spiritual development is never something that you will one day achieve and then you have to find something else to do. I happen to believe in reincarnation and think that it takes many lives of concerted effort to ever be so enlightened that you needn't return to Earth to learn some new perspective or 'spin' on things. Flocking together with others and listening to some guy in a tie lecture you on how you should or shouldn't live is not a spiritual act. Good questing, sista.

Yes of course one can have faith and speak the truth of it. One must of course judge what one perceives as the truth to make sure it is not a trick or a personal opinion. Judge the spirit and see from Whom it proceeds.

nicely positioned. What change into put in the structure change into the favor to dodge having gov't shove faith down electorate throats. Christian Fundamentalists opt to revert, and void the Constitutional separation of Church and State. the concern is having Christians be a lot less fascinated interior the structure than pushing their faith. it will be more beneficial positive to ask someone from each and every faith to assert a prayer, so all should be tolerant.

We are the only Bible many will see, how you act and what you talk about can lead others to Christ.
Many on the web are angry at Christians or think we are ignorant or mislead, how we react to them could reinforce their ideas or maybe if we show them or faith and love change them.
Yes, anyone can have faith and yes if they know Christ as their savior they have the Holy Spirit and can speak the Truth.

Truth is based on that which corresponds with reality - faith is belief in that which does not correspond with reality.

To be Christian is to speak the words of other, such as from the Bible.
