cincity: Religious = belonging to a set church such as Baptist or Catholic..

Spiritual = believing in a higher being without belonging to a set church.

JMO for what its worth...

I think spirituality promotes harmony and awareness.

I think religion divides people.

I believe we are all born with the divine spark inside our souls. Its our universal birthright. Religion seeks to control that. JMO

HealthyLiving: Spiritual but not Religious...

There is no Spirituality without Spirit. It envolves being led and instructed by the Spirit. Man is made up of Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul. When we allow the Spirit to take the lead, it will keep the rest of the body in balance. This is Healthy!

Religious beliefs are mostly Doctrinal, made up by man according to his interpretation of writings, rules and regulations or traditions handed down by man.

Churches have Doctrines and Traditions. Sects have Doctrines and Traditions. As we mature Spiritually, we no longer are bound by the rules made by man, but become led by the Spirit. We in fact evolve to become a spirit-being, thus saying, Spiritual but not Religious.

Is that more understandable for you Conjor?

Hi there, iq has nothing to do with the fact that, to be spiritual is to walk your talk, fully aware in why you do it, be it wrong or right.
To be religious is to follow a docrine blindly,without questioning it, and walk your talk blindly. Even if it isn't "religious" at all.

Erm not quite, my experience in these things go further than what you have just described.
Not everyone needs to "believe" in the "holy spirit" to "walk the talk" as you call it.
I have seen satanists, more "christlike" than those that claim to be christian rolling on the floor laughing
Or an even an atheist more "religious" than a self proclaimed religious fanatic laugh handshake

thoese who are led by the spirit are sons of GOD-holy spirit
if we do not have the spirit of jesus GOD liveing in us.
we do not belong to GOD.-holy spirit.
if we do not have the holy spirit wittnes to the truth.
liveing in us we are unholy and unsaved-holy spirit.

jesus said, when he.the spirit of truth comes,
he will guide you in to all truth. he
will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears,
and he will tell you what is yet to come,-holy spirit,

Crap, THE HOLY BOOKS were written in an ancient language Almeric script then Translated to Greek, Latin and eventually English and Man YOU KNOW US had a great part to play in it's writing that is why it is not the WORD OF ANY GOD......But mans interpretation of in the case of the new testament stories and fables passed down.......Not as you say GOD'S wordgrin grin cheers So when you add on your misquotes it is total C R A P ...........
