Is it necessary to believe in God to communicate with Spirit?

The word God is a man made word and therefore it is not necessary to believe in the word God. Spiritualists believe that the creative force, that from which we all came, is God or the God force. It is from this belief that their first Principle was given "The Fatherhood of God". Other than this Spiritualists have the freedom to perceive God in whichever way they wish.

This God force is within us all and all things within the universe, to deny that this creative force is not within us is to deny the very act of creation.

The creation can be viewed in many ways but if we look at it as beginning and prior to that there was nothing then all that came after must have come from that initial spark how ever we see it.

Many people see spirit those who are religious those who are not and the same for those who are completely indifferent. So it is not necessary to believe in religion or God to see or believe in spirit. There are many cases throughout history where the most unlikely people have seen spirit, including Sister Bernadette from Lourdes, Joan D' Arc and many more all received inspiration from spirit.

Again Spiritualist's believe that religion is to serve "God" by serving each other not just Spiritualists but by treating all men as equal and the same.

The definition of religion is belief and faith so to deny religion means to deny your beliefs whatever they might be. It also means that you distance yourself from faith not only in yourself but others. Religion is that which makes you go out into the world and give service where ever you can. Religion is service and service is religion.

The reason so many people have difficulty with God and religion is because they look at it in a conventional way which over the years has been clouded by the misdeeds of the leaders of the worlds foremost religions. They also ask that if God does exist why does he let so much bad happen in the world in particular to children?

We have to accept if we believe in spirit and an after life that we are on a pathway of learning and that before we chose to come to the Earth we picked our pathway and actually know that this is what we wanted to experience though we are not aware of it until we return to the World of Spirit.
