I used to be a strong Christian who was in love with my precious Jesus and filled with the power of His Holy Spirit and who studied the perfect scriptures daily and who also prayed and fasted often - and who enjoyed the fellowship of Christians. I "felt" God's presence in my life.
But, through my experiences with other cultures (travel) -not like a missionary who goes somewhere with the intent of evangelization - I began to realize that over 4 billion people did not believe as I did. Were they stupid? Were they goingto Hell? Did they have rebellious hearts?
I found it was not so. They had valid reasons for their OWN beliefs. I actually did open-minded research on my own religion and found so many holes that all I hadleft was my faith alone (strong faith)!
But in a few years of still more travel and meeting people outside my Christian reality, I was blessed to be able to see myself objectively. Today I am agnostic and love God more than ever!
God is bigger than Christianity!

Philippians 4:6 Philips
You are a child of your heavenly father. Confide in him. Your faith in his love and power can never be bold enough.
1 Corinthians 15:51
The final heart beat for the christian is not the mysterious conclusion to a meaningless existence. It is, rather, the grand beginning to a life that will never end.
Stay Blessed...
