If the average person knows the difference between religion and spirituality? Know the difference and you're the average person? We go through our daily journey through life thinking that we all think we know everything and think that we have grown, but when it comes to spirituality and religion, so many of us lack the Point Entirely.
Think of the great religions and cults, and we think thatThese are the ways of God to be close and we think that this will be in our skies and we think that those who live alone in the street, but we never really know the truth, because we may be so busy follow what we think are the rules that we lack true spiritual reality.
What about the Catholics, who dress on Sunday and cursing the world for the rest of six days a week? What about the Catholics, that the phases of the migration of the crosssee at night and day ever that the gay man created by God so that they will believe? What happens with born-again Christians who hate the one hand, abortion, but should think it is right to kill an abortion doctor have? Where are the Christians say they love the Lord, but serious damage to their families? Where are the Buddhists, who believe in God but believe in their hearts, think only of themselves? What about Catholics who believe thatPope has some more power, some additional authority on an entire religion is not yet aware that God created us all equal and no one infallible on this earth. What about Catholics who believed in the fifties and sixties who eat a hot dog on Friday certainly is sent to hell, but now are accepted and can not eat meat on Friday? There are Catholics in hell eating hot dogs on Friday and in 1965 the Catholics in the sky, eating hot dogs on Fridays in 1998? ThisThese are just questions, not judgments, but honestly, sincerely for all the answers to their questions, then I urge you to think about the answers.
What about Catholic priests who eat meat, informed on Friday and go to hell doctrine, which were at the same time perhaps seduce young people into the church for society? Before and those who hesitate to questions or statements, go back and read all the news and go back and remember the stories leaked to theFront pages. These were not religious people? What happens to all women in their finest Sunday, for those who go to church dressed in jeans and T-shirt smile? It is religion that requires people to move in and not show that spirituality requires God accepts you as you are, accepts you as you do it?
What are you? Are you religious or are you mentally? Are you one of those blessed to be both in real life? Perhaps the greatestDifference between those who are exclusively those religious and spiritual, is that people focus aimed mostly religious and rules and regulations and share true love, true respect and acceptance in the drawer of real life. You can be religious, and I hate people, but in general you can not be spiritual and hate people because this is a direct contradiction of terms. Some religions demand that you hate certain acts and sometimes religious people interpret as an importantpeople should hate and avoid those people. But in the real world of religious history and spiritual, real, Jesus Christ has never truly hated anyone or avoided.
Are you the stories of Christ, then you remember remember nobody has been as perfect as it was and is. Therefore, no one stood up to his standards were, nobody and nobody and nobody can ever resist the standard of Christ. Only we humans can try, but the unfortunate problem with some of ourproof is that our fellow human beings to perfect that we do not expect. Is not it strange? We expect others to be perfect if we can not be perfect.
And this is perhaps the biggest difference between trying to be religious and try to be spiritual. The difference is that most religious people are searching and striving for perfection, while people have found more spiritual to seek peace and to be no less than God. Yes, you can try the men to be closerGod, but by their very nature prohibits, if they use their rules and regulations, to deter people from their community because these people are not perfect enough for them.
So what we do with our religion or spirituality? How do you deal with your real life and your religious life? Assess people all day and relax and worship God on Sunday? Do you hate homosexuals from Monday to Saturday and Sunday we pray to God that all people on earth? YouI propose that we killed the death penalty for people who other people? What is your opinion, your religion, your spirituality, what is your life and how life really makes you fit your brand? You said one thing, but living your life as another? You are a true Christian, other people hate?
A true Christian is against abortion, but never, ever want to hurt a medical abortion. A true Christian would neverkill or harm another person. A false Christ hates abortion supporters, but the killing of abortion doctors. What is wrong with this picture? Killing in a sense could be considered religious, and none of spirituality is to correct the killing. Spirituality teaches that life is precious, life is precious to everyone, not just the lives of people you'll agree. A true Christian can be against war and have not protested the mass protests against the war, that hisThe obstruction of traffic and endangering life. Make the difference between religion and spirituality.
During the war, thousands of protest could be breaking city ordinances and protests without permits, those who have the spiritual power, peace in a place where it is legal to walk. Peace is going to be really for peace during the protest for peace in the military because it is more peaceful. For example, the difference between religious and spiritual attitudeActions. You can not usually be arrested for a spiritual act, as you get arrested, perhaps because of religious protests.
Before anyone gets up and decides to violently attack this article, I urge you to walk a spiritual path and only post comments with your opinions on civil, rather than their own judgments. One might suppose that I am anti-Catholic, even if they are not. You might think that I am a Buddhist, even if they are not. It could make many assumptions that are unlikelytrue, then paused. Stop and think. Indeed, choose your words in response to words and not judge, but the words of honest opinion, the words of a possible open communication, then the connection instead of separation.
Religious people and those judges who are strict religious people judge without spirituality, but remember that Jesus Christ has accepted the men come to him. And when religion begins to accept people, when it come to these religions couldSpirituality can be real. And yes, there are those who have learned difficult lessons, lessons, such as the obvious, that in reality, honest, religious and spiritual use their religion as a means to separate the people as a means of discrimination against individuals or as a means to hate people because Jesus hates anybody. True spirituality is the acceptance of all people.
But wait, yes, yes, but rememberAnother important point is also essential for true spirituality. We accept people but we are not obliged to accept all their behaviors. So if someone comes to church smelling of wine, all addicted to crack cocaine or pot, then yes, we accept that person as a human being, but we do not need this kind of behavior acceptable.
There are so many differences between those who are religious and who is spiritual, so many that it is probably too much forList or discuss here. But perhaps we could change the world a single step at a time when we could only think of spiritual and religious at the same time, and remember that for truly religious, as God wanted us to be, we must be very spiritual before.
God did not invent or church, but God must draw our souls, our spirit and our need to be more spiritual. That is the difference between what God has done and man. Even if God wants a churchHe does not want one, humiliate, hurt or discriminate against people that he himself created.
Living in peace with all men as possible, and remember that if you give people with the name of religion, then you've lost the orignal spirituality whole purpose of religion, God, and. What prompted me to write this article? Only experience. There was a time when I was in a building owned by very experiencedslumlords religious. He owned the building and took advantage of tenants, molested her, belittled her, tortured her, but on Sunday he dressed his best suit, to worship God in a local Catholic churches. Obviously, no one has the difference between religious and spiritual beings really taught.
Jesus wore a dress. Yes, they called a tunic, and they called it a robe. But bottom line is that there was a dress. It 'was the same material, same style, but with adifferent name for the ages. Like today, there are producers who put together what they call tops or blouses, but for all intensive purposes, these garments are bras. Yes, they want to see, hear, such as bras are not the manufacturer calls his style blouses and tops. This is an attempt to women to wear the bra off? Wow. Rememember the book titled, The Emperor's New Clothes? Child in this story of the whole city was saying that the Emperor wherehad new clothes, but in reality, and for all intensive purposes, only the emperor was naked. The same idea with the point that manufacturers require blouses and tops, bras are.
So, yes, Jesus wore a dress and / or all women wear skirts, right? However, wearing a dress, but most of his supporters are Catholic anti-gay and anti-homosexual. When they see men effiminate or when they see people who dress differently than the rest, you frown, and well, will moreFrown. But when they see Jesus in the tunic, which all have thoughts of love and faith. It 'really funny how people judge each other, but do not judge people or things they like or respect.
I love Jesus, and He is my Lord and Savior, but I still see the way he dressed. Yes, I know that this time the dress was very popular and normal for this period. And you can see that what people wear now a fashion of the time? TheNext time, when a man wearing a pink shirt or sporting earrings could see, he wants to rethink the assessment of the child. I'm not saying either. All I'm saying is that words and clothing is clothing and all people should stop judging people by their words or clothes.
And what has to do with religion or with Catholics? And 'the fact that I do in my experience, many Catholics are criticizing judges and magistrates and judges andthe way in which people walk or talk or dress, but have pledged to God with all your heart and soul to love. To me these are contradictions in terms and statements. So what's with two sides, religion or spirituality? Only you can find out.
Personally, I believe that a person who truly loves God, is not usually judge other people. Yes, they could for a moment or two, because the judges are human beings and all human beings are imperfect, but as soon as you remember,what they do, they try to backtrack, apologize and do good things. This is spirituality. Unbreakable While religion with strict rules strictly. This is packaged one observation from life experience. I lived religion and spirituality that I experienced. And they are two different things.
So what about the author of this article is the place where spirituality, when it comes to religion, and IStanding here, right here in my humanity and my personality error some mistakes and some events in my life that would be perfect, so unless the sun But I'm there with my thoughts on religion and spirituality, as I more championships and lived experiences of these two small pieces of worlds. And I'm here, knowing that I like and try to enjoy as long as the promotion of spirituality and before I everAdvancement of religion. Religion is man made entirely, while spirituality is something of the spirit, a little 'closer to God, and something that has not changed. I would say that this is going in the direction of spirituality. Spirituality is solid. Are you a spiritual person, you always try not to hurt before. Before you judge me for writing this, remember that I am not perfect, foolproof and certainly not to make hundreds andHundreds and hundreds of errors in one of my life. But I'm happy and glad that I see spirituality. There was a time in my life where I was the total with a particular religion, and during that time I was looking for other religions, because what was raised and grew in and, yes, almost brainwashed, it was not to my heart there is joy, peace and growth. Religion, the family was in my Grand seemed only provide rules andAfter this life sentences, or grow so offered, and looking closer to Jesus Christ. So, finally I realized that what I had, in addition to religion, spirituality was a big, huge faith in God and a future where I could get closer to God, when I just looked around and asked, and reminded me that when I needed God, it was right here by my side. I think for me, this is the ultimate in spirituality, learn, remember andTo act as God is on your side.
I do not say that without religion or no religion should. What I mean is that if a person is religious, then at the same time, it is hateful towards other people, and has no room for forgiveness, love, joy, kindness and courtesy to others, then their religion is best to get wrong and unnecessary. Nobody is perfect and no one has evercheerful and friendly. But if the person, religion does to bring goodness, joy, peace, peace, respect, love, clarity, and other wonderful things in his life and the lives of others, then that person is missing something very important for religion The spiritual health.
These are my views and opinions in this, there are some facts and some experience and some comments. You choose for youthe facts, opinions and experiences that are useful for you and the rest is here to absorb someone else or enjoy. You are a free man, but free enough to have your opinion, and you a spiritual person, you value my opinion I know that my thoughts do not do according to your religion or spirituality, not less, than it is. I invite your comments, criticisms and ideas and we hope that the kind, caring, open dialogueDiscussion or if you prefer, I can not wait to hear only on these themes and topics.
