Do you believe in a God? If you are an atheist or a dedicated follower of a religion tell me how you feel about it.

Yes.

Yes, I believe in the Creative Force that I call God/dess. I believe the different gods people worship are all aspects of the one God. I work with different god/dess energies when I am in need of a certain type of help.

Perhaps there is a god out there, but I've never seen proof of one.

That would be agnostic correct when one doesn't know for sure. Yes?

Yes.

I was into what some would call the occult. When I became scared of what I discovered, I began searching for truth. A gutsy christian woman asked me to go to a house meeting of christians. I met a supernatural, holy God of perfect love. His beauty defied

the realms of my knowledge. His Spirit met with mine in the form of a rushing, holy river of eternal, pure love that flowed like a niagara from my belly out of my mouth. I was so overwhelmed by His mercy & grace I did not stop crying for hours. How I feel?

I am a woman of faith.

I am not particularly religious, although I identify myself as a Christian and raised my children in the church. I am currently among the "unchurched."

Faith is about relationship. Religion is about law.

Words could never express the gratitude and joy I have had in knowing God.

Prophesying is against my religion...It is as personal to me as my sex life; a private matter between me and my higher power...Sixteen years ago a spiritual awakening taught me the meaning of "MY" life...It was enough...

Do you mean proselytizing?

No...but I'm not a fan of that either...

Ok then I'm not sure what you mean. You're saying that prophesying is against your religion and that it's a private matter between you and God. I understand prophecy being information given to a person about the future by God. And when you tell others that prophecy it is prophesying. What do you mean by it?

I didn't say it was between me and God.....However, I did say it was private...

I was just trying to understand your point. No offense intended.

You never offend me Ruth...

Then is there some reason you won't answer my question?

Yes, and I gave it to you and anyone else who read my post.....I chose to answered this.."Do you believe in a God? If you are an atheist or a dedicated follower of a religion tell me how you feel about it." with this "Prophesying is against my religion...It is as personal to me as my sex life; a private matter between me and my higher power...Sixteen years ago a spiritual awakening taught me the meaning of "MY" life...It was enough.." To me it's pretty clear why I won't "continue" to answer your questions...I hope this answers your question...

Ok, I am/was confused because "prophesying" does not mean sharing your feelings about God or religion. That is why I asked you for your definition of prophecy.

I now understand that you don't want to answer the OP's question because it's a private matter for you.
