Who's Right And Who's Wrong?

How do you make sense of the different denominations with everybody saying their way is right?

Agnosticism seems to be the key.

Because everyone is right

Everyone is always right about what is right for them!
That is the ONLY way it can be.
We create our own reality and reality is subjective, never objective.
What is right for me is right.
Again, so wondrously simple.

Spirituality

Hi,
Each denomination has it's own way, teachings, and practices.
It depends on which one you were raised or brought up in., if any.

The Bible has passages which will pertain to many different denomination, such as Baptist, Church of Christ, Methodist, it depends on how deep you want to look.
I hope this helps, and I hope I understood your question.
There is no right or wrong; if you believe!

Just for information:
If you wish to add or subtract from an Experts' reputation, or show appreciation or discontent with an answer, click on the "balance scales" icon by the Experts' name. You can then choose what you wish.

Best wishes,
fredg

Spirituality versus Religion

Shouldn't the spirituality board be for discussing things without the necessity
of bringing religion into it? Spirituality does NOT equal religion, rather it rises above and beyond it.

fredg disagrees: The word "denominations" in the question is Religion, not Spirituality. fredg

I agree the two are distinctly different. You can be spiritual without being religious. And you can be religious without being spirtual. But for many their religion is the foundation of their spirituality. Or at least their concept of spirituality. Which makes discussing spirtuality without religion getting into the mix very difficult.

magprob agrees: Man created religon in an attempt to put spirituality into a box to explain or conceptualize it. You can't. It is different for each person. Hence, the great arguements.

Yes, but Fred, this is the SPIRITUALITY category! That was actually my point.

Life:

LIFE is that state of animals, humans, and plants or of an organized being, in which its natural functions and motions are performed, or in which its organs are capable of performing their functions. Also, LIFE is an interval between birth and death and the sum of the forces by which death is resisted.
