I like a lot of the morals and ethics that come from Christianity. But there are many aspects of the religion that don’t make sense to me. However I still attend church weekly and study the Bible.
So basically I don’t know where I am religiously lol. I guess I’d be labeled as agnostic
Shoot I love talking about my religion and other religions. Concerning other Gods, here is a verse In
Isaiah 44:6-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
There Is No Other God
6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
7 And who can proclaim as I do?
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;
Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock;
I know not one.’ ”
Yes I dont wanna clog up the thread and ramble on but I'm a firm believer in how a man should carry himself and I really try to live my life differently then how I used to carry myself. FAMILY and wife come before anything and this is hard for me to say but even before AAS lol. Na all jokes aside I know we all get caught up in are own lives but the 9 virtues is a really good thing to try and abide by even though it's hard sometimes
1.COURAGE
2.TRUTH
3.HONOR
4.FIDELITY
5.DISCIPLINE
6.HOSPITALITY
7.INDUSTRIOUSNESS
8.SELF RELIANCE
9.PERSEVERANCE
My mother inlaw is big on ancestry.com and did my results and I'm mostly from Scandinavia which made be a bigger believer into my history.

That is God saying if you got it. Bring it! You had one chance to be wrong and you were proven not to be his prophet. Better listen close and not be given to what people think. This is one of the many where he sets himself aside and apart from others.

By that theory we can have 2 scenarios.
1. I could be a "saint". I could donate to charity, help out people who are sick and never commit a crime, but i don't accept jesus, so i go to hell (because as the bible teaches, you don't get into heaven on good deeds alone). Or..
2. I am a serial killer and rapist for most of my life. Then on my death bed, i ask jesus for forgiveness and i get into heaven.
Neither of those sound very "just" to me. Not to mention my last point of kids suffering with things like cancer. Also doesn't sound very "loving" to me
And I'll pick just one verse of many from the bible, which proves that god is actually quite violent
Joshua 6 verse 21 -They devoted the city to the lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
I love your honesty my friend. To be honest I'm not a 100% sure about any of the writings. But I have to believe in nothing because I believe that there can't be nothing. I believe more Christianity's anything else, I mean how can always people be wrong, people that I look up to respect would like to be like.You only think that I'm positive about is that there is a God and I'm not him. Because for a long time I really thought that there was nothing above me and that's a lovely place to be. I 100% sure that terrific God resides felt him and he has been very present in my life
