So what's the constant here? God or the person? If when I was 20 years old, I prayed to Krishna, but now I've decided Nyasaye to be my God...so was I wrong earlier by praying to Krishna? Am I the one to determine who God is?

1. Whatever you believe, am sure you have a reason for your decisions.

2. Yes, you are the one to determine who God is when you find him in whatever way.

3. I don't know if you were wrong or right. Those were your decisions and I was not involved in anyway whatsoever in making them. That's why I maintain it's a personal decision/relationship.

One's relationship with GOD is what is important. We all worship GOD is different ways even those who face Mt. Kenya are worshiping so all these battles of the orthodox, protestants, catholics, islamists, jews, etc are useless. All these religions have been used by man for his selfish interests, from slavery to racism you name it.


@murchr

How do you propose this relationship with God is to be had? Under what context? How does one approach God to have a relationship with Him?
Please, I want you to tell me!


'God' is always accessible to man, and the 'path' is threefold;

1. Light of nature

2. Refinement of heritage

3. Revelation of the mind

My issue with cCatholic church is that, you cannot demonised one thing then comeklater to glorify it.

You know deep down inside your soul that what you're saying makes no sense!

Did you create yourself?

Do you know what tomorrow or even what the next minute portends for you?

Do you know when or how you shall die?

Since we know the answers to all those questions is no, shouldn't that be cause for our humility and awe of a supreme being (Jehovah God) that is greater than our minds can ever fathom?

For all human life is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower in the grass. We bloom then we die. And the cycle continues.. 1st Peter 1:24.

I hope and pray you may come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and your life will never be the same again!

I didn't know wazua is about repetition of previous thought.

Lucifer is referred to as a "morning star" in the bible. He rejected FAITH in God and chose intellect/knowledge, then went ahead and preached that false doctrine to Eve and many others even today. And look at the resultant mess nature is in.

Without FAITH you cannot please God.

The problem with people in this world is that everyone one thinks that the denominations or religions they subscribe to are the best. They have made the right choice and the others are wrong.
Common sense dictates otherwise.

Religion is about faith. We choose to believe what we want. Why then should you seek to choose for others what you believe. Selfishness at it's best.
