Lesson 8 ~ Defining Spiritualism

Defining Spiritualism

Lesson 8 ~ Spiritualism Philosophies Essay

By:  Rev. Trent

 

The paths we decide to take in life are those of our own choosing.  We are grateful that we have the ability to choose those paths.  No one should tell us and we should not tell others which is the right and must path to take.  We have seen and studied many different philosophies pertaining to the leadership of Christ, each valid in its own perspective.  People have the right to make decisions on their own beliefs, right or wrong.  We as ministers should not interfere or persuade them to our personal way of thinking.  We  can be here to guide them with understanding and help them make the decisions on their own as to the paths of their righteous beliefs.  It is always very interesting to counsel an individual in religious matters and have them on their own make those final decisions which will most affect them.  Once again the greatest gift we can give another person is just to listen and not "preach" to them or make judgments. 

Go In Peace
