Who here is Spiritual? What is your belief? [Spirituality & Religion]

Christianity....being IN CHRIST....is not a religion. Religion is nothing but man-made philosophy, all over the world. It is without God’s Spirit for guidance and salvation. Followers in Christ, have a [i]relationship [/i] with God. They are joined with His Holy Spirit. Religion didn’t die for our sins on the cross. But Jesus did. Without relationship and forgiveness in Jesus, one’s spiritual life is d-e-a-d.

Anyone can be “spiritual”. A better question might be....”Have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, and turned from willful sinning, to a new life in Christ?”

@LadyGrace The quality of the question depends on the answers I'm seeking.
Agreed. @JimboUk

Amen, sister, amen!!
I believe all people are equally spiritual. Spirituality is just the construct. Through what means or practices the spirituality is expressed, is different for everyone, even if only slightly. I'm pious in my beliefs, but my beliefs have nothing to do with religion. Someone who's pious in their religious beliefs is no more or less spiritual than I.
@JimboUk Your point is founded on the false premise that people wouldn't know how to find themselves without Jesus. And, the promise of an afterlife, which is really what religion is about, is here for all of us, regardless of any religious or philosophical practice. Most teachings of Christianity say, yes, you can have what awaits you after you die, so long as you live your life according to scripture. Living your life within a system of reward and punishment, is slavery sold as freedom.
@JimboUk Christianity is the only religion or ideology which does not propose a way to end suffering, but rather a way to use it.
@PhoenixPhail With all due respect, that is not a good description of Christianity. At the risk of great over-simplification -- Christ came because it was obvious that people could not make it by bare knuckling obedience to the rules and laws which had been laid down in the law.
Thank you for BA.

I'm a blood bought adoptive son of the living God who is my strength and my courage and my everything since He was the one who created me. I am a Born Again Christian who loves Jesus and who needs Him every day of his life.

Pantheist. More and more influenced by Zoroastrianism.
