Is it not possible to be Spiritual And Not Align Yourself With Any Religions of The World ?

Can You Butress ?

Kindly, Butress Your Point.

*SPIRITUALITY is having a PERSONAL relationship with someone in the spirit realm.

*RELIGIOSITY is having something to do with your neighbours who feels like worshiping something or someone.

So when a spiritual person is asking questions so as to know better about the spirit he or she wants to go into a relationship with the religious person is just following where the crowd goes!

Don't you go to church?

True Christians don't go to 'CHURCH' buildings designed for worship and nothing more rather we meet together to plan how we will do the work assigned to us as Jesus commanded {Matthew 28:19-20} and after gathering as a group we move to an assigned territory in pairs! Luke 10:1
That is the one and only true religion.
Spirituality has to do with how each of us is working zealously to make sure he preached and teaches in his territory so as to increase the number of disciples Jesus has {Matthew 25:14-30} if you read this Bible passage note how the master distributed talents (wisdom) to his slaves but how one failed to make any gain for his master.
So even though such a slave is part of religion he is not spiritual as he doesn't know what he's doing for the spirit for which they gathered as a group. Matthew 18:20

If you go to the store with your hard earned money do you buy whatever they label as toothpaste or you go for the best?

There are countless gatherings people refer to as "RELIGION" but have you ever wondered or ask:

What is the purpose/benefit of religion?

If you know what religion should accomplish surely you will know how to fish out the true one just as you would do regarding toothpaste.

Each human has a brain in his or her skull but since we differ in likes mankind doesn't think the same way yet as intelligent creatures we ought to cohabit peacefully and settle matters amicably within ourselves without resulting to barbarism or exterminating one another.

That is what TRUE RELIGION should accomplish as the one true God is the brain behind true religion!

The word "INDOCTRINATION" comes to mind when the wrong message is passed you and i know for sure that we can't raise children without inculcating in them the knowledge about right and wrong.

Only the true religion can help us all to arrive at the same page!

But:

Almost Every Religion of The World Preaches About The Same "Right And Wrong".

Almost Every Religion Tends To Train Children in The So Called "Right Way".


Yet; Why Do You Refer To Just One Religion As The "True Religion" ?



Are you not SELFISHLY Picking Your OWN Religion As THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION Because You Were Born And Indoctrinated into It ?

I was born without any religion, raised by Muslims but when i grew up i began asking:

What is the purpose of religion?

That's what led me to the one and only true religion today!

Religion is man made,attempt by fellow men to exert influence and control of others and also to enrich themselves.

The example of religious individuals In the Bible would be the pharisees.

Spirituality is the worship and acknowledgment of the existence of a divine spiritual being.

For example I read the bible, pray and believe in existence of God and Satan but I have stopped going to church the past one year.

I realize the main purpose of religion is to give the church founders control and wealth.

I consider myself spiritual but not religious.

Good Points.


Now, Let's Forge Ahead Thinking Progressively Together.


The People Who Created Religion Needed To Utilize The Concept of Unseen God And Devil To Put The Minds of People in Captivity So They Can Easily Control And Manipulate Them.

You Already Agreed With This.


So, Why Do You Still Believe in The Concept of "God" And "Devil" Even Though You No Longer Go To Church ?

Only a true religion can move round the globe and gather peace lovers throughout the earth to make one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers.

There is no God (Supreme Being) that can do such a thing if not the one true God who created us all!
