something's missing

I've been on the old experience project. I'm glad to be back. I wanted to start with what's been on my mind. I'm searching for a spiritual home. Not Christian for sure. (I've been hurt by churches too many times). I've been following the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold path of Buddism. I sit Zazen, but I'm looking for something more.

I have an indigenous background, but don't think I can practice it. I have blonde hair & blue eyes. It's sort of frowned upon. My dad was indigenous & my grandfather went to a residential school, so I identify as that.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for. A group? Friends? People to talk to?

Christianity is not churches...

Christianity is the Holy Bible.. The Word of God..

@Adstar I agree, but it’s the discussion and study with others I miss. I don’t know how to get that without a church

@allincluded There are online Christian forums where all they do is discuss and debate and you get all the denominational variance you would ever want or not want..

True, but I’m not sure that I even AM a Christian anymore. I mean, I believe in God, but not the way I used to. I don’t think that Jesus was the only one God sent to tell the Good News. @Adstar]

@allincluded Well Jesus and God are One.. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh.. He came down to earth to pay the price of all humanities transgressions.. The Good News is Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and we have been gifted eternity in His perfect eternal existence.. That is if we accept the Gift.. No one else suffered death for our transgressions.. No one else took the punishment.. Jesus did it for those who would accept His gift..
