Quote from ShoeshineBoy:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a better way to word your position is "My faith is in God directly and in MY understanding of God and whatever MY particular opinion may be."
That's fine - it's extremely common in America to make up your own religion. I know a lot of people who take a little of this and a little of that and come up with something they feel comfortable with.
Just realize that you are gambling that God has not already codified who He is and that you are in a position to uniquely discern the mind of Godâ¦
I have faith that if I am sincere, God will correct me if I am gambling.
I don't view that I am making up my own religion, nothing is older than a direct relationship between God and man.
