I'm a Christian, and I came across this when i was talking to sum1 who said that other people had spirituality, but the wrong kind. Is this even possible? I thought spirituality came from God....? Thanx and God bless ya :)

Are all choices good choices? Are all options equal in the physical realm? Do all our decisions result in positive consequences?
If there are good and bad choices in the physical world, then there are good and bad choices in the spiritual world.

i dont think so... religion and spirtuality are two different things... there are some people who confuse spirituality with religion... you dont have to have religious beliefs to be spiritual and certainly it has nothing to do with Jesus or any other Gods... spirituality comes from within yourself, your own spirit which has a direct relation ship with the universe as it is a part of it. The universe was there before these man made religions or the human beings themselves came into this world... no point in relating the spirituality with religion....

Sounds like that person has a closed mind and can't or won't admit to any other type of spirituality. It is a very common occurrence among people who think their belief is the only one. Don't even try to convince them of a different view. It will be a total waste of your time. In my opinion, it's people like them that gives Christianity a bad name. I believe we were put on this earth to use our minds and all our other functions to for fill that reason for being, not to follow through life like sheep, only doing what some religion tells us is right.

Spirituality is simply a description that pertains to a person's spiritual beliefs. Some people, like my sister are into things like the I am discourses, Wicca, Paganism, etc. To them their Gods are just as spiritual guides as Christ is to you and me. It is not necessarily the wrong kind, just different from ours.

Good for you. In my opinion, there is no wrong kind of spirituality. I don't see how anyone could worship Satan, but to each his own. My point is, pay no attention to anyone that claims to be the only right way. Common sense can prevail, if you let it.

When your spiritual ideas are all in one box, book or group of people, then it's wrong. True spirituality is well rounded, not on paper and loves all people in all groups.

A lot of spirituality also comes from Satan. This is his most popular tactic. Anything he can do to lead people from worshipping God he will do.
Here is the test, if spirituality leads you to do something bad or puts the focus on you or another person. It's bad.

There is almost certainly no God, and totally certainly no Christian god. You have to realise that your faith is based on the convictions of those writing several thousand years ago, and is entirely irrelevant to a modern, scientific and logical age. Stop clinging to these things, you'll be stronger if you believe in yourself.

In my opinion, what gives legitimacy to a religion or spiritual practice is the *result* of tangible, applied compassion.
If that's the result, it's not "wrong".

Wonderful question--no there is no such thing as a "wrong" spiritual path--thank you for posting this!
