[QUOTE="aiki, post: 72327956, member: 178791"] It sounds like you're approaching the matter of religion as you would choosing a new pair of socks or a meal from a menu. Your personal preference seems to be your paramount concern. It shouldn't be. Truth - objective truth - has no regard whatever for your particular preferences. No matter what you might prefer, fire burns, gravity pulls us downward, water is wet, and 2+2=4. The Christian religion claims to reveal the truth about the nature of God, His will, and our relationship to Him. If it is correct in its claims, then you cannot afford to ignore those claims in favour of other contradictory claims of another religion that you feel better suit you. If Christianity is correct, choosing to ignore its revelation of truth will have devastating and eternal consequences for you. As has already been pointed out to you in this thread, Christianity does not offer you merely a set of truth propositions to accept and/or a collection of rituals to perform, but [I]fellowship with God[/I] through Jesus Christ. The Good News of Christianity is that God made you to know Him personally and to enjoy Him forever. Jesus said, [B]John 10:10 10 ... I have come that they may have life, and that they may have [I]it[/I] more abundantly.[/B] and, [B]John 6:37 37 ...the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.[/B] and, [B]Revelation 3:20 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.[/B] Choose today whom you will serve. [/QUOTE]
