I'm thinking of changing my religious beliefs to Allah (Muhammad) rituals .

I'm a Christian and I've great love for Christ and the saints but after doing some research on Muhammad and the rituals they have it's seems very interesting.
At time the Christian life can be too painful . I'm not made up for it even tho as what I said I do have a lot of passion for Christ .
What's your view and opinion

@riseofthemachine only semi serious. It was made famous on the tv show Seinfeld. Gotta wiki the thing 😁

I'm not familiar with Muslim rituals. So no opinion about that. But Muhammad came AFTER Christ.

Christian life certainly can be painful if you are very sincere.
@riseofthemachine [i]1[/i] friend said that about meditation?
4meAndyou · F
@riseofthemachine Do you really think God is such a tremendous nit-picker? I don't. I realize that fundamentalists disagree with my views, but yoga and meditation are really NOT sinful...and they are NOT part of practicing another religion unless you make it so.

@4meAndyou thanks

Islam is demonic. Not sure why you want to engage in rituals either Christian or muslim. I'm a Christian and the only ritual I have is communion. A sip of wine and a bit of bread. I was baptized as an adult years ago so I don't do that again. Everything else is by my choice. Are you born again as in have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit?

@hippyjoe1955 Catholic . See I don't like get into conversations like this cause it can create conflict and I'm not a conflict person .
I'm neutral

@riseofthemachine I am not trying to fight with you at all. I am just curious. You mention ritual and in my Anabaptist tradition we don't have a lot of ritual. I have gone to catholic churches and they have a lot of ritual. The same with orthodox. I call them liturgical churches and for those who find fulfilment in such ritual I have no problem at all. My only question is since you are contemplating leaving the catholic church why not check out a nearby baptist church or other evangelical church in your area? Just curious and not wanting to come across as being critical of you at all. I want to support you in your Christian walk.

@hippyjoe1955 thank you . I'll look into that 😊

Are you willing to pray, fast and obey a whole lot more?
riseofthemachine · 41-45, M
@SnowBlack I looked it up and the things that caught my attention was 1. Waking up early . 2. Meditation. 3. Prayer

Giving up something you have great love for for something that is interesting? That sounds strange. 🤔

@riseofthemachine Pain isn't unexpected according to the Bible, but the source of that normally shouldn't be Christians.
riseofthemachine · 41-45, M
@Classified I get you cause Christian's are supposed to live by the 10 commandments. I be look at some and the way they live and I be saying to myself I dont want that .
It's after turning my whole way of thinking . Do you get me ?
Classified · M
@riseofthemachine I think so. Christians are supposed to be followers of Christ.
Why not try something really different. Why not try something that doesn’t require that you bend the knee and tell the big guy in the sky how fabulous he is. Wanted to try something that is not a slave the minds and hearts of billions of people. Why don’t you try going without religion at all.

Eternal Salvation only comes through the Atonement of the LORD Jesus..

All other paths lead to deception and eventualy eternal destruction..

All religions are some form of cult with the Muslims being the worst.
Have faith in yourself.

Mona86 · C

People are saying I don’t look aboriginal are you telling me the truth @Kingfish1
My opinion is that rituals have nothing to do with it

Well if you believe in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus as they are represented in The Bible then unfortunately they are in direct conflict with Islam.
In others words they do not align and you cannot believe both at the same time.
If you try you will have to ignore teachings of one or the other.

@REMsleep Well said.. 👍
