OPEN TO ALL: Let's try something different, shall we?

Question

Rather than bash the next person's religion or church, kindly do these 3 things here:

1.] Briefly SHARE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CREED, beliefs or moral code here WITHOUT the need to MENTION as to what other groups may or may not do in theirs;

2.] Mention the church that you belong to, or the philosophical ideology/ies that you follow now; and

3] Rate yourself from 1-10 [10 being best] as to how close you are in adhering to your own CREED at this stage of your life.

Thanks for all your responses.

Peace be with you!

Email me if you want to know my laws or anything else

Answer 2

Good idea on something different!

While I do believe in some supernatural forces and in an interconnectedness of all things, I do not feel that it any particular diety or force set me here, in this time and in this place for a reason. I believe that I can do with my life what I will, and I fully intend to make the most of it, especially as I am nearly convinced that there will be no afterlife. . .at least, not in the conventional sense. I feel that the mind is our largest power source, with many capabilities and facets we cannot even begin to fathom as of yet. I do have a strong ethical framework for myself, despite the fact that I do not believe that anyone put it there but me.

I belong to no organized group, but my beliefs remain as above and the "power" that I have in physical, mental, emotional, and influencial states satisfies me with this.

Because I create my own creed--I must rate myself a 9 in adherence levels.

Answer 3

I like this question. :D

1.) I'm Catholic. I believe mostly what they believe. There are some exceptions; for example, I don't believe that God hates homosexuals. I also believe in both creation and evolution, and I believe women should be able to be priests and priests should be allowed to marry. I can't think of any more specifics right now, but I know I have more.

2.) As stated, I am Catholic.

3.) I would say 7.

Answer 4

I believe in God, The Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, i believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, He was conceived by the power of the Holy Sprit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered, was crucified, died and was buried. He went down to the dead and on the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of The Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Sprit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins and ressurection of body and life everlasting.Amen.

rating less than 1 :(

Answer 5

Personal Creed: Following the original 10 Commandments makes for a good start.

I do not attend/follow any specific doctrine. When I read the (in my case) Bible, I read the black part and listen for answers relevant to me and my situation.

On your scale, I'm only halfway there: 5

But if you want to talk about Godless atheists, then I have a ton of bile! Don't they just creep you out? How can you trust someone who doesn't believe in God? It just can't be done! And what about forgiveness? Can they do that on their own, with out Christ as an example? I doubt it very seriously! And Grace! What about Grace! Was there ever beauty in the world, before Christ? I doubt that too.............................................................................just kidding...

Answer 9

Just need to correct justthisonce....the Catholic Church *does not* hate homosexuals. The church's position is quite the opposite.

Answer 10

What God did...
Think of it this way... Imagine you're in a courtroom, you're guilty of many serious crimes. The judge says, "It's a fine of $500,000, or prison." You don't have anywhere near that amount of money, so the bailiff begins to walk you out of the courtroom when someone you don't even know appears. He runs up to the judge with a check and says, "I've paid the fine for you." Now that the fine has been paid, the law no longer has any hold on you. You're free -- because of the gift you were given.
This is what God did for you by sending Jesus to die on the cross in your place. So that you wouldn't have to go to Hell, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross -- suffering the punishment that justice demands. Then He rose from the grave, forever defeating death! The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Just like the court case we just talked about, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.
If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical," what God cares about is the attitude of your heart. When you pray, it should sound something like this, "Dear God, I repent of all my sins, such as (name them). I put my trust in Jesus Christ as Lord (to say Jesus is your Lord means you are now making Jesus the master over your life) and Savior. Forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John," and then read the one named "Romans." Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read every day.
