This memorial day I went through some old docs and other sources and found that my great, great, great grand parents were both Quakers. Evidently there's some lineage also traced back to the 1600's of in the "New World" even. Finding this out, it got me going down the path of looking into what Quakers stood for and it seems that the main premise is The Inward Light.

Which led me to some reading about, which led me to, yet another, confirmation that any and all ideologies have been compromised by ilk.

I have never been someone that follows(persons or rituals) and have always found that "God" is within and is of us all.

It also led me to create an account, after removing myself from a previous one, to query those of you who are a bit more well read and versed in theology than I.

What is the Inward Light?

Quakers were Christian. Im unfamiliar but any light mentioned in their doctrine would have been through the in-dwelling holy spirit that only saved Christians have. Every human alive wants and craves this, having the spirit of God within, your own curiosity proves as much, and every heart is given this irresistible urge for God to make them whole and at peace - especially those who claim to hate it the most but are incapable of having it such as judeo-atheists, Muslims etc or just to be general “deniers of Christ” such as yourself. It sounds like you’ve stumbled down a blind alley though, Christ is the way the truth and the light.

They were Christian but evidently stepped outside the realm of what was heavily handed. To the point that they didn't have a church, and went elsewhere to get away from.
