People have a right to their beliefs as long as they don鈥檛 use them to oppress others. My parents are people of faith, too, and I respect them. 馃晩

@bijouxbroussard You're right we all have the right believe what we wish but we also have the responsibility to believe in the truth rather than the lie. That's what God taught me. 馃晩
@GodSpeed63 I remember something about [b]鈥漟ree will鈥漑/b], too.
GodSpeed6361-69, M
Yes, God gave us free will to choose right from wrong, to go left or right, and to believe in truth or lie. Nobody has the right to take that freedom from us.
@GodSpeed63 I doubt. That鈥檚 pretty much it. But I know what the teachings are. And I do think that the people who claim to believe but are unkind to others don鈥檛 represent their faith very well.
GodSpeed6361-69, M
You're right. Religion without relationship can be deadly. God created us in His image and likeness. What does that really to you? Why did God create us, to worship Him though religious practices or to have fellowship with us?
@GodSpeed63 You have a good evening.
GodSpeed6361-69, M
You too.

@GodSpeed63 What is "truth" to you is not to others
GodSpeed6361-69, M
@Phire1 I don't have the truth, it's the other way around, the truth has me. Listen to the Word of God on truth. "However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." John 16:13. Jesus was speaking to His disciples before going to the cross. This was not for them only but for all who believe in Him for generations to come. This is why the truth is not mine but God's.

@GodSpeed63 Yet, you word it in reverse. Still, what you believe to be "truth" is not to others
GodSpeed6361-69, M
I worded it in reverse because it is the truth. The Truth has me, I don't have it. I'm talking about actual truth that can't be refuted; It's not what I believe or anyone else believes to be true, it's actual truth that no one can change. Remember this, belief follows truth, not the other way around.
Phire151-55, F
@GodSpeed63 Still, you changed your statement to try to fit what I said. The "truth" may not be the same to others.
GodSpeed6361-69, M
Truth is truth. No one can change it anymore than they can change history. That's all I'm saying.
Phire151-55, F
@GodSpeed63 Again, what you beleive as "truth" may not be truth to others
GodSpeed6361-69, M
Again I tell you, I don't have the truth, the truth has me. Without the Spirit of God, no one can know the truth. It's what I know and believe to be true. I did not come by this on my own.
Phire151-55, F
@GodSpeed63 Circular! oh my
GodSpeed6361-69, M
Just being truthful.
