I forgot to add...They were discriminated in the past that's how we ended up in the US. In england back in the 17th century we had to leave england because of our beliefs.More on that here:Discrimination against Quakers?
That is the case:^)I'm assuming the differences is just the ways of practice?
I know there are some (but not most) god-religions that don't limit the definition of a deity but see it as a spark of life in us all. Probably very few without a creed. That's kinda what I get from the websites I looked at.
Do you think that's the case?
Aye, that happens now & then.You posted this twice like I just did with one of the posts on here.
I agree..And I find that that is a belief that should be respected.
Sorry but let memmake thist straight Wrong again. Who I am here reffers to? It is again reffers to Jesus bescause that time Jesus is speak to his deciple. So if we want to use this verse it not reffers to us (self) but to Jesus.yes it is but he goes on to say in the same chapter. on that day you will know that the Way is through I AM, self.
John 14:20
20 At that day you will know that, I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
if you're looking to go through Jesus to get to the Father, then the WAY is through self to know the real Jesus and Father is to venture inward. Immersion, venturing into the Name, is the WAY. that name is at exodus 3:14

John 14:20, this verse condition is Jesus want to tell deciples about His relation between God The Father that He is One with the Father.
thank you for the heads up and my apologies. i should note that quakers, as you stated, believe the light is within all.
I accept your apology and you are right the light is within all.the topic of this thread is about quakers. we should respect that. i failed to recognize that. lets discuss quakers and quakerism.
I noticed someone made a thread on this in the Quaker DIR but since nobody really kept up with it and it would be better to make one here where there is more freedom to comment I thought I would make a new one and answer questions. So if you have any questions on the Religious Society of Friends I'm here.
Sorry for the late reply. It consists of me constantly trying to get closer to Him and by listening to the Spirit following it's guidance. I pray a lot I do a lot of silent worship. I read the Bible a lot even if I disagree with some of it. I write a lot of poetry about God as well.Theres more but basically I'm constantly trying to get closer to God and follow the SpiritQuakerism, from what I recall, is about having a personal relationship with God.
If true, what do you feel your personal relationship with God consists of?

Mainly through the conscience...Sometimes I feel like something is very strongly leading me and usually that something is Spirit.How does the Spirit communicate with you?
