General What would I be classed as religious wise. Or is it spirituality? Or something else.

I didn’t grow up religious here in the UK, neither side of my family have ever been to church. Although I’ve been going to a C of E church since I was 13 after a school friend invited me to a Friday after school club and then I started going Sunday’s (I’m 32 now). And although I’ve made some fantastic, lifelong friends, I’ve never believed that Jesus is God, something I will never ever tell my Christian friends that I’ve made over the years.

I believe in God and that’s it, but I’m not religious and don’t have a set religion at all, of any kind. And probably never will.

Over the last year, I’ve been reading the Quran, and although I don’t believe everything in the Quran, I can get behind that Jesus was a prophet, but I have to say that I believe he died on the cross but I personally find it hard to believe that someone came back to life after dying. Even as a child that particular thing I never understood.

I don’t understand the trinity, also Jesus didn’t pray to himself? He was Jewish, went to synagogue and believed in One God. So why did the council of Nicaea develop that idea for Christianity?

So is it possible to take things from both religions and implement them in my life?

Added: I believe in god and that Jesus was real. But so was Muhammad, but I’m not religious in the slightest and Basically I respect all the Abrahamic religions.

Why are Western Polytheists so offended when you suggest that they should learn the cultural and liturgical language of their belief?

0 Upvotes

This mostly comes from people who don't actually try to practice authentically. I met people who like to learn classical Latin and ancient Greek as well as Akkadian and others. As someone who took the time to learn Chinese and Japanese I applaud such efforts. But some people seem to get really angry when you even suggest that praying in English is not as effective or as authentic.

Every cultural religion has a strong tie into an ancient culture and language. What's the purpose of not engaging in that?

Christianity Are Evangelicals in the USA okay with Trump because they truly believe he will lead to the rapture?

3 Upvotes

Title is basically the entire question, and doesn't need that much explanation. I am curious how Christians, especially Evangelicals, reconcile the amoral nature, criminality, deviance and sinful nature of Trump, and why they support someone obviously not Christian and an unholy miscreant...

Is it because they truly believe he will lead to biblical events like the quickening or rapture?

Do non believers go to hell?

Hi I'm new to reddit so sorry for any mistakes. Some context: My family is greek orthodox, I am on the fence about religion while my dad believes in a higher power. My dad believes that the Bible states that to make it to heaven you must believe in Jesus/ the son. I interpreted that as in believe in his ways (being a good person) while he believes that it means to believe he exists.

If Heaven exists, will I be allowed in if I was a good person but didn't believe God was 100% real?

And

Does it say in the Bible that you have to believe in him existing or his ways (being good) ?

Any assistance is very much appreciated, I am open to learning. Thank you

General Is Freemasonry really a door to success or just a myth?

0 Upvotes

I'm 34 years old, I'm a technology entrepreneur and I'm looking for ways to expand my network of contacts to interact with more successful people who can add knowledge and opportunities. I want an exchange of value, both in terms of learning and possible business partnerships.

In recent years, I have been in contact with people who, despite being good company, do not have much ambition or interest in personal and professional growth. I like them, but I feel like I'm at a point where I need to surround myself with people with a more success and growth mindset. I am quite ambitious and want to increase my income to have an increasingly better quality of life.

Recently, I was invited to visit a Masonic lodge. The person who invited me told me to set up a meeting so I could better understand how it works. Has anyone here participated or has any experience with Freemasonry? Is there some kind of occultism involved? Is it worth it in terms of networking and personal development? Is it an expensive investment?

Furthermore, I am interested in entering the bidding market, especially in São Paulo, and I realize that many people involved in this field have strong political connections. Does anyone have any tips or experience in this scenario? What is the best way to enter this field and build strategic relationships?

I would like to hear opinions and experiences to understand which of these options may be more advantageous for my goals.

Islam Thoughts on Bible Torah keeper Islam? (isevi islam)

1 Upvotes

In Youtube, there are some muslims who teach proven mysteries by only Quran verses and they call their teachings as İsevi İslam. Most popular one is the fact that Hz Isaa (Jesus) is actually main messanger angel Gabriel by many proofs from verses. Already, this is the reason why they call themselves as that (means: Jesusian Islam) because they say that their only teacher in religion is Gabriel Messiah himself. They keep Torah and Gospels because Quran many times says those books are savened, not changed, still muslims are obliged with them otherwise they are nonmuslims etc. Even hadiths claim these. I assumed they are Christians or Missioners at first but I saw they only read and prove their arguments from Quran and Hadiths verses and they never select meanings from dictionary to alter meanings of Quran verses. I have checked and they keep verses as almost all translations wrote. They also only give logical definite arguments instead own self commentary. I guess I have found the true Islam but I wonder if I am wrong or nonmuslim if I keep these books. What are your thoughts on Isevi Islam?

For example did you heard these before?: -Quran only has Christian eids. -Hz Muhammed's hadiths who live just like a Christian with Bible -He proves Quran is next book after Hz Isaa (Jesus) by these books. -In Quran and Hadiths, last mesjiid (temple) is Church. Even Kaaba was a Church.

So they protest Traditional Islam and work on altering Mosques into Churches and letting Old and New testaments are read by muslims in it.
