on the cusp

[ThinkForYourself]

I do associate myself as christian but I also follow a very budhist and very pagan life style as well.

Associating myself as a Christo-Pagan.

I have run across controversy every where I go but I have finally found a spiritual calling that works for me.

and truly the only difference is I have a bit more statues around my house then other people varying form Hindu to Egyptian like bastet
and I light lots of incense and lots of candles probably more so then other people.

I have always been a big appreciator of other faiths and mythology so making the personal choice to stay christian but also be pagan was my choice. I know I am an odd ball I know that what I do is probably frowned on by many I mean hex I am bisexual as well.

and none of this I truly plan on changing but I don't view myself as a bad person for this and I love Jesus just as much as when I first meet him.

Good for you, I admire someone who doesn't believe the dogma they are surrounded by, but instead seeks the truth.

Don't beat yourself for meeting someone else's imaginary standards. They do not know the truth, regardless what they tell you. Remember, the bible is written by man, and is the word of man, not God. God loves you for who you are, and does not judge you based on the politics of a barbaric tribe of nomads who lived thousands of years ago. According to the bible, Adolph Hitler, a Catholic, is welcome in heaven if he repented, but the most moral man in the world is destined to burn in hell for eternity if he didn't happen pick the correct God to believe in. Does that make any sense? Of course not!

It is far too easy to harshly and unfairly judge ourselves, so I would ask that you do one thing: Each day I want you to spend five minutes thinking about your positive attributes. I'm sure there are many!

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, so don't give up!
