This all feels like a game of semantics to me. I was raised Catholic, so I have Cristian teachings as a part of my internal scaffolding. I don't consider myself Catholic now because I can't stand up and recite the creed with faith- that's when the priest tells you you're not a Catholic any more
Oh, and then there's that whole divorce thing... that's a problem for the church too
Anyway, the way I reconcile my New Age faith and my Old Age (Catholic) teaching is by seeing through the semantics to the true meaning of a lot of this stuff. I really, really have come to believe that all that stuff about "giving your soul" blah, blah, is meant to say that we are to find, connect to, and accept our own divinity and connection to the great power of a unified cosmic consciousness. I also believe that hell and suffering are terms used to describe the state of being that we live in when we do not accept that we are all intrinsically connected and that we as a whole comprise that which religion calls God. If one examines the root of most world religions, these truths exist, they are just presented in semantically different terms. Perhaps the prophets of the time had no better means of wording their teachings?
