But isn’t that really just your soul? I don’t understand the whole Jesus Christian thing no offense I just don’t I do get how bad situations can lead to deepening spiritual or newer spiritual avenues or thoughts ....can’t someone be spiritual and believe all that without Jesus?
We each find our path, some with recognised religions, some without. I just accept that each has the own path to find or follow.

I see how it can because my mom dying was a very bad thing to me but it made me feel deeper about God you know. I don't get all the peace he seems to get from it all but I think I agree that no pain is no gain.
My dad is the most spiritual person I know and the one who is the most Christlike and he don't even know if he believes in God so I think Jesus isn't needed to be spiritual but maybe it is easier with him since I think mostly we learn more if we got a teacher to show us how to do or be something.
You know Meggy lately the most loud I am Christian people I know have been the most disappointing and opposite of Christlike people. Someplace in the Bible it says you will know like the tree or something by its fruits so if the fruits suck then that tree can scream Christian all it wants but it don't make it so.

I believe sorrow helps us to better appreciate joy. Chaos teaches us to appreciate peace. Opposites are lessons and one needs the other.

Yes, but I'd be fine with having the rainbow without the storm.
EXAMPLE caleb was going to buy this 2.7 million dollar house. We all loved it. The ppl who built it were the most Christian family around town they r known and respected....well my bro found something with the house inspection and it was kinda big so he asked for a fair reduction well this family went nuts.....started calling ppl at the city thinking they told him stuff and yelled them...wasn’t true and was crazy...they treated ppl so badly!!!they said they were going to rip stuff off the walls...like most Christian like family around here weren’t very Christian like AT ALL not saying they r all like that but ah I didn’t like seeing that.

If a person has to tell you they're a Christian....chances are it's in name only.
