I am a Godian…OmniGodian

When asked if I am a born again, or a Christian or born again Christian, I sometimes go blankMore oftern though I profoundly confess that I was born a Christian. Often, that last answer either leaves the ‘interviewer’ baffled, dismayed or belligerent. I usually remain quiet and become very observant as the most time ‘born again and save’ or ‘redeemed’ person draw conclusions, all of which I often disagree with and surprisingly with no attempt or desire to justify my statement.

I have often felt challenge to ask myself am I…
… A Christian?
… A born again?
… A born Christian?
… A born again Christian?

I guess that’s one of the many reasons why religion or religious sect – segregation and I don’t go very well.

So much competition to belong to the group that is guaranteed a spot in heaven and eternal life; or a group that belong to this faith, that creed or everyone’s dogma!

That certainly doesn’t appeal to me. To me, that represents a contradiction to attaining personal and intimate relationship with God without the quest for escaping hell and purgatory after death.

It all boils down to respect and sensitivity of another’s point of view. The part that still saddens me is too many people still seem to experience some trouble in sharing their understanding of God, firsthand.

Interestingly, that’s one area Jesus had no apprehension... and in that area I am Jesusian.
