Faith & Religion are often confused.
Religion is an inclusive path to God.
Faith is an exclusive & unique path to God.
I cannot have faith without a clear path to follow.
Without the clarity of what my path is and what God means to me, I cannot have a true faith.
True faith is knowing the truth of my path and the truth of who God is in relationship to my Self.
Unless my religion offers me a unique path to God, I will have no faith in my religion and I will lose my faith in God.
Unless I know God personally, I have no faith.
Faith requires me to know God.
I follow my faith with knowing.
Unless I follow God intuitively, I will not recognise my path.
I cannot know God and be without faith but I can follow a religion without knowing God.
