"Spiritual but Not Religious"

I don't think it's dogma that really bothers us. The real repulsive thing about religion is that it binds us to sinners. And Christ did just that.

The devil is spiritual but not religious

The pic that appears when Johnathan says"and so if we stand together"...been there...and it is such a beautiful place ❤😊

To be fair, it's not always driven by selfishness; rather, it may reflect a desire to avoid being tied to individuals who don't truly share the same understanding. Even when two people profess faith in Jesus, their intentions can differ significantly.

If you reject "organized religion" you just get disorganized religion.

What about hermits that became saints?

[@minasoliman]

Sounds almost like the original sin of Adam and Eve. I want to become like God but without God, on “my” own terms. I want to be spiritual on my own terms without the religion of binding me to God and to His church.

I’d ask that man to expand on the dark side of dogma. Then give examples of that dark side, THEN that can be properly addressed

This is very deep. I have called it "collective therapy"

Worshipping God and his moral laws are intrinsically connected to him.. to base your morality on your own morals you become a god

[@jukkaahonen6557]

I partly disagree, because I don't think that the "spiritual but not religious" thing is in all cases about me wanting to do things my way all the time. It could also be about not agreeing fully with any one tradition, but seeing some value in several ones. It could be a matter of conviction rather than a mere preference.

Followers of Jesus were first called “ Christians “ in Antioch. ( Acts 11:26 ) … for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great number of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. They were called “ Christians “ because their speech and behaviour were like Christ.

You spoke I spaced out. Not in a negative way. Regurgitating the same old written words gets OLD real quick. It's not a knock on any religion. In fact, it should inspire people to find out what is real and what isn't. If we all make mistakes that means god and his chosen ones also made mistakes. So what do we do? That's the billion dollar question. I respect all religions. Some rules are too rigid. Why? Who? Started that? They injected their own view to religion. Why can't I and other people do the same thing? 🎉

Bible says there are only 2 spirits...God/Holy Spirit and the other is Satan/ demonic/...so it's not good to just be spiritual because Satan is a spirit...we have to choose who we will align with( choose ye this day whom ye will serve)

And it is the function of the Transcendent to bring all things together, especially as revealed in Christ

But truly spiritual person realizes that he doesn’t need religion with all its dogmas and rituals to experientially know the oneness that he is with everyone and everything. Unfortunately, if religion isn’t properly understood as a means to an end and is instead made to be an end in and of itself, the religious person can mistakenly think that it’s the dogmas and rituals which bind him to those of his religion, never transcending the dualistic limits of religion and knowing himself truly.
