Religion

Questions concerning my religion always arise within me. Questions that I ask myself are usually thoughts about doubt, disobedience, and unnecessary traditional obligations that we are taught to continue in our religious atmospheres that we live in.  But religion doesn’t help us unless our religion is based on conviction rather than tradition. 

I remember as a child I was told I was to go to church, but when I had a question that I didn’t agree with or had questions about those around me didn’t give me answers, they instead based my beliefs on their religion.  I think it would have been best if they would have admitted they didn’t know an answer.

I’m sure there are many people like me who have had questions like me.  When people have questions concerning which route to go in their religious journey, I think it is best to be encouraging and open minded.  Because of people who are stuck in religious tradition, it has in the past pushed me away from seeking more of who I am and who God is. 

I believe the Bible, but whatever is in question we must as a body of Christ take a stand and be open minded to what others around us are saying and we must be less critical with our answers.  The Bible doesn’t answer every question that there is on the face of the earth, if it did everyone would be following it with out question.
