I just think it’s peculiar

Hmm

I respect the voice inside that said my tradition were trash and let em go. I KNOW what you mean tho

I think I think this way similarly to interracial dating

Which is why I asked him the question of if the ideologies are similiar, why not study Christianity because it is the root? He got mad, you said I had an ego for asking.

Do you see where I am getting at?

I see it

I just don’t think it’s important where a person studies, as long as they remain their loyalties to the traditional religion of their culture

Again, he is black and not Indian. Not valid.

That’s why I said I don’t think he should have done that lol

I think if he was interested in the Veda’s by all means he should have studied it, but stayed Christian at the same time

If the Apostles travelled this earth to speak of Jesus and God, and people didn't make up their own religion based off this root, the world would be better.

You can't worship multiple religions at once, that is against the teaching of God.

But is learning and acquiring knowledge worship?

If you are learning and acquiring knowledge, it is a gift from God.

Right, that’s what I think too then

Because it’s no threat to your faith anyway

Only according to His statutes and commands.

well i need to step in and say that you can't worship a religion, but a religion is a set of beliefs, and a person is 'religious' if they live according to them.

Right

However knowledge is meanless

Sorry if I didn’t word it right then <:GWpinkuNotLikeNico:392308498282840065>

Knowledge and experience is good

There should be a balance of everything

@J_G_ That is not what I am saying. If I worship Terra and more than one collectively do so and claim her to be my god, it creates a religion.

That's worshipping the creation rather than the creator.

or woshipping the creature rather

that's idol worship.

a bunch of people worship idols all day long in the form of sex, lies, and video games

God is pure consciousness, that's why we are made in his image, because we also have that breath of life

most of us have a limited consciousness though. sometimes it is centered around who has the biggest butt or the biggest house.

or the cobwebs in their pocketbook

That’s right 🐛

but God is infinite in scale, and if we look to him, he will reveal what we need when we need it

Religions are the guide to the destination, but not the destination

The map is not the territory.

<:GWchiakiKannaWave:369468313157369858>

Religion is a great map, but careful cause there are snakes in the grass who will use the scriptures.

also, I am not a doctor so take my "spiritual ideas" with a grain of salt

Even Jesse says we should doubt him too.

(if i recall correctly)
