I have no idea where to start. I believe in Metaphysics but most churches are of the traditional Christian type with a lot of social dogma I don't believe in. Maybe I don't believe in it becuase it is not convenient for me IDK, but being a Metaphysics student I do not believe in Heaven or Hell but only in reincarnation.

You read books until you find one that makes sense to you and go with that. And then you find their place of worship and start going there. And you then you make friends in that religion. And then you find that some of them are hypocrites and realize that all religions have a one key weakness: they are populated by people.

BELIEVE IN THE LIVING GOD WHO PROMISES YOU ETERNAL LIFE!!! MANY PEOPLE" STATE" THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN HEAVEN OR HELL but believe and know for sure that there are good guys and bad guys living in this world!!!!!!!. Why should there be any difference in the existence of heaven and hell?? If good guys died--don't they deserve a good place to go to?? Or when bad guys died, where do you think they will end --up or down??? Only with child-like faith, will you understand and accept the existence of heaven and hell. BECAUSE A CHILD POSSESSES A PURE FAITH. You believe in Metaphysics--that is what we called " intellectual faith"--you only analyse what you can see. BUT WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE --DOES THIS MEANS IT DOES NOT EXIST????? CAN YOU SEE " BEYOND" WHAT YOU CAN SEE??? Your knowledge is limited. In another word--MAN's KNOWLEDGE IS LIMITED. WE have not even understand the mysteries of the UNIVERSE!! HOW CAN WE FOOLISHLY STATE WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF HEAVEN OR HELL??? And you believe in reincarnation-???-something you cannot see!!! HELLO!!! HOW 's that?? There are things in life, apart from Metaphysics, that are more important that you should be aware of. Questions like WHO IS YOUR CREATOR?? WHO CREATED YOU IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE?? Atoms and particles in the metaphysical world existed for a reason. YOU EXISTED FOR A REASON TOO!!! I wish you all the best to discover a reason WHY YOU EXISTS !! Look into your very heart--and you will find HIM there all the time always loving you and caring for you--with or without you KNOWING!!!

You should read up and study about all the religions before deciding which one is the best fit for you and that you can whole-heartedly believe in. I was raised a Catholic, studied Buddhism for a while before I finally came to Islam. I can honestly say that I feel a true connection to Allah more than any time before I became Muslim.

This is why I do not subscribe to organized religion. I don't believe ANYONE has it right. All I can do is trust my instincts and my research and my own experience and let those guide me. And none of those things, for me, leads me to any existing organized religion. So I simply believe what I do and don't profess a doctrine or religious title.
Good luck to you-I really do hope you find something that makes sense to you, whether it's with a church or on your own.

Well then obviously Christianity isn't for you. I'd suggest studying many different religions and finding one that fits what you believe. Never try to force yourself to believe in something if it goes against your gut instincts.

Theirs one God,one Spirit of God and a soul in each of us, I have studied .Most. religions.Dogma is not something that allows the free expression of spirit.
I am not religious,
but as Jesus said, all that call upon the name of the lord will NOT be saved.Only this that do my fathers will make it-to heaven.no matter what religion people or in.in this particular reincarnation. if they don't ask of the spirit. listen for the answers and try their best to do Gods will,then they will be separated from others in what Jesus said or my fathers house of many mansions.who wont to be around other souls that don't believe God or wont to do his will.?theirs a place for everyone who loves God and or IN the spirit.if we dont have some sort of relaionship with the Spirit of God then of course the spirit CANT lead us on when we die.the prince of the power of the air will then lead us on. to somewhere? I dont know where.who knows?I dont know.
when My grandmother Ballew died.my mother was there with her.she suddenly smiled brightly. eyes got bright, she raised her hands up and cried out Jesus! and passed on.mother said.of course she only knows who that was that came to take her to heaven.That really inpressed me.But the spirit of God is for everyone of all faiths or even those who dont have any particular religious faith.I love God,and ask of God for guidance.and I trust in God, and I know that Gods spirit is with me,I have seen supernatural miracles.
I wish you the best on your spiritual journey.have you ever loked into Eckankar?
How do you pick?
You Pray about it.and listen for the answer.

do your home work and read lots of articles and books and Internet..... there is lots of groups out there...... but don't be codependent on them for your information or wisdom....... and as for joining any one... look at the ones that don't ask for money.
