So there are many different beliefs. That's not a lot different than the different Christian denominations that disagree about certain aspects of it. We call each other "Brother" but we do disagree. The only difference between you and us is that to be a Christian there are a certain minimum set of essential beliefs.

the big difference is that we don't disagree with each other, we never argue about the Creator.

We build each other up in the Lord by edification and clarification as the sanctification process is important as the church is the bride of Christ. If you read in Revelations 3 you will find churches fall under certain characteristics, so even if we believe in the Creator why are some churches successful and others are lukewarm like Laodicea

Actually viz the tribal nations of america are an excellent example of what it means to worship in the Spirit of Truth. You should look into the "WAY" we native americans live and lived. Learn the history and remember to shod your feet with gospel of peace brother.

Ptsum Why is it that the Cherokee don't argue about the Creator? Where do they see the Creator?

Well me being mix I came from both the West and East so I was born from history. How does it go for me now?" I am well and thank you". But I walk with two feet. One in the Spirit the other in the world. And while I walk I see many things that are woven and Beautiful. So How are you Brother? I ask in seriousness. And I call you out for your lack of regard.

Creation in 7 days. Who searches for the Truth in all the blood that Christ gives?
The turtle is the symbol for our Lineage. When we say let us talk about the turtle it is good medicine for that reason. Because in our heart we know the One Tree with 12 fruits. The turtle was the one who carried the world on its back. The turtle is the one that keeps it's home in the heart. The turtle stayed under water for 7 days to gather earth to create an Island for us to Grow. The turtle is the sacrifice of our family.. Bonds will never be broken because Spirit is what Creates them. Love is a Fire that the Creator son brought to us a while back and told us to create a counsel of 12 elders to keep watch on the Fire. And he gave a promise that while we gather together in a circle the Fire is there.

Thanks for asking. I am doing really, really well and I greatly appreciate the good fortune I have had during my life. The world looks nicer to me every day. It is great to be alive, isn't it?

I have no idea what that sentence means, so I will take it as a complement of some type. Thanks.

Well, yes, but you are forgetting about the non-denominational denominations.
