How many have felt spiritually homeless?

Question

I've been in a free fall since freeing myself from the mind prison of my former religion.

I feel a kinship with many spiritual types but don't know where I fit in.

How many have had that problem and how did it turn out?

Answer 1

I once felt that way and finally realized that I was the problem and not my religion and I went back to it.  I realized that my religion does not teach that God is as concerned for our financial well being as He is for the health of our souls, once I came to that realization I was able to see how wrong I had been and went back to my religion.

It's a terrible feeling, I hope things work out for you.  I hope you don't feel the anger that I was feeling while I was going through my "homelessness", it isn't healthy spiritually or physically.

Answer 2

Went through that when I was 15...After much searching (living on a military base, it is easy to research other religions and faiths because they are all pretty much in one place) I found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and knew I was home.  Only later did I find out that it was because it was the restoration of the Church that Jesus established during his earthly ministry.  I didn't understand that when I found the Church, I just knew I was home.

Answer 3

I have, and boy my life was a screwover until God saved me.

If I continued my sinful ways, my parent's would of kicked me out of the house because of my disgrace and everything.

Answer 4

i have felt like that many times i am catholic and ive figured out that its not my religion that makes me feel like that its the church they manipulate every word in the bible to their liking to scare people into being religious, now i just pray at home if i do go to church its under my terms, i dont receive communion any more cause i don.t believe in confessing to someone that i dont even know. AND THAT QUITE FRANKLY MAY BE DOING WORSE THINGS THAN  ME.

Answer 5

Nope.  The feeling will probably go away once you're comfortable in knowing you don't need that stuff anymore.

Answer 6

Do you have to fit in? Like really HAVE to?

Is it peer pressure that makes you want to take some religion up? Do you want to take some religion up so they can tell you how ridiculous it is so they would get you to take their religion back?

Answer 7

A "fall" is clarified in Galatians 5:4, from grace to law;

and notably a humpty dumpty fall, of the "bewitched",

notably the "churches" that Galatians is written unto.

Glad to hear you're "free" of them: impure religions;

But do also consider there's "pure religion": James 1:27,

which arrived undefiled and remained unspotted; And

reconciliation unto, which doesn't impute sin: 2Cor 5:19,

for law imputed sin breeds alienation, not reconciliation,

and Mt 12:30-37 says "either" gathering "or" scattering,

which allegorically translates to "either" grace "or" law,

and de-fault notably goes to law (condemned already).

Let not your heart be troubled(lawed),

for a troubled heart will attack itself,

condemn itself with it's own mouth.

(Job 15:6... Mk 7:18-23... Rom 2:1)

Take heed that no man deceive(law) you,

for the law ministrates condemnation and death.

(Mt 24... Mk 13... Lk 21... 1Cor 15:56... 2Cor 3:7,9)

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. Amen.

Answer 8

I have not had that problem, having grown up without any religion.  My spirituality was my own, and still is.  It is free flowing and always evolving.  So I don't think of spirituality as a home as much as a wave of water that carries me.  I respect you and all the others here who have left their religions - I can't imagine how scary and lonely that transition must be.

Answer 9

I feel alone in my spirituality, but surely not homeless

Answer 10

I don't have a religion and I do not go to church but I have never considered myself spiritually or religiously homeless.

I don't think it's necessary to go to church to prove to god that you love him.

There is nothing weird about praying, worshiping and reading the bible at your house. Why do you need to get all dressed up and be in a public place to worship? I like to be alone with god when I talk to him and I would feel totally weird if I had to pray in public in front of strangers.
