I believe in God and Jesus. Not exactly on the Holy Spirit. I believe the Holy spirit and God is one in the same. I do not seperate them.

No, I do not go to Church. I could tell you why, but then I be belittling your beliefs. Lets just say church is right for some and not right for others. However I pray 3 times a day for at about an hour each time. I also study religion religiously.

I am all religions, including Christianity.

So to answer your last question; yes I am Chrisian, but not your average Christian.

1) There is no God (and therefore also no son of God).

2) Jehoshua ben David (Jesus) did exist and was a Jewish Prince and Rabbi who became leader of a resistance movement against the Romans.

3) There is a universal energy that can be accessed and brought to good use. It has been re-named by Christians "Holy Spirit".

4) I do not go to any church.

5) And I am not a Christian. I am a realist and do not belong to any organised religion.

It seems that you have been brainwashed already and I feel sorry for you, but I also respect your (and everybody's) right to believe what they want.

I am without a doubt a christian. I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I do not go to church because alot of churches I've been to in the past just haven't worked out for me. However, I read my bible everyday (Including today, I read Acts 7 and 8) and I watch gospel programs on television. And I pray everyday for forgiveness of my sins. Nice to see anothe christian in the community. God bless.

I do belief in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I do not go to Church, but I have accepted salvation through Christ's sacrifice for me, for there is no other way for me to attain the perfection needed to spend eternity with God.

Yes. Since I have excepted Christ, my life has changed for the better. Now, I have the ability to help people in a number of areas, and still appreciate that some people might see things differently from me. It is a choice, and I am happy for that. Through Christ, I can tackle the adventures of life, and have fun in the process.

Yes, grasshopper, God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit(Ghost). He is Eternal, Immortal, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, yet he died and rose again to free us from Death. He lives in us and is solely responsible for any good we do in our lives.

you dont have to go to church to be a christian, when two or more are gathered he is in the midst!! all you have to do is talk to god,accept the lord jesus christ as your savior,love your neighbor as yourself and love the lord god with all your heart!! you are the church and jesus told peter that on this rock i will build my church, he did not mean a building on that rock he meant that peter(meaning rock) was to lead the desciples continuing jesus' teaching after he was not there anymore in human form!! you can pray on your on and follow jesus on a whole new level! its not about religion,its about a relationship with god and his son jesus

God is not what church makes "Him" out to be. God is not emotional, not revengeful. God is not like a human being that He punishes others, especially His children. God is not like some humans that He needs to be loved and believed first in order for Him to protect and save us when we are in trouble. If God is so divine, He will protect and be there for us NO MATTER WHAT! We have human parents, friends, husbands, and wives who unconditionally love and be there for their children, friends, wives, and husbands despite the fact that their counterparts do not believe or love them. God must be more loving than these humans. Churches want us to believe the God they have created or we won't be saved so that they control and have power over us. Pay close attention to the descriptions of God by the churches and one will realize how ungodly, unholy, and undivine humans have made Him to be. God should be divine and not humanlike that He gets mad and murders millions of His own children.

Humans have all these supposely messages and predictions from God. But if God is all so mighty and able to see into the eternity, wouldn't He have foreseen and predicted all that is currently happening in the world? So He expected and wanted all the events which happened, are happening, and will happen to happen. Then, the churches should not be stating anything is against God's will because nothing is against God's will. He had already forsaw and predicted and expected the world to progress like it has today. He expected that humans will make scientific and technological progresses and breakthroughs. In addition, do churches know for certain that God does not want humans to be more independent and be more like Him? Why are the churches insisting that God wants us to be weaklings and remain naive and lack of knowledge? I think churches want to have and control all the knowledges and powers. They desire control and power over every details of our lives. They are simply being humans. When churches state that the scientific community is playing God, do they ever think that maybe God wants us to play God. Maybe He wants us to grow up and be as knowledgeable and capable just like Him. Maybe He wishes that humans can become more independent and not always have to ask Him to perform miracles. But that we ourselves have the ability to perform miracles. If God is so divine, why would He have anything against humans becoming more independent and knowledgeable? He has nothing to lose. The only ones with something to lose are the churches.

Churches have long stated that they are messengers of God. However, it seems that all the messages they have brought since the earliest day have been wrong. They did not believe that different races, ethnicities, religions and sexes should be given equal status on this planet, they did not know the Earth revolves around the Sun, they did not know the Earth is round. Wouldn't God have told them all these already? Ideologies and beliefs from churches are fabricated by men. Examine closely the beliefs of the churches and one will realize how narrow minded they are. No tolerance what so ever. Is this our divine God? So intolerant and unforgiven? Is the almighty and divine God suppose to be a cross handing on a wall? Why do churches create all these icons to symbolize God? And why do people believe in them so much? If there is a powerful Creator of this infinitely enormous Universe, I strongly think that he is very open minded and desires us to think, experiment, and explore freely the vast potentials that exist in this world. He would not see progress in this world as a threat or is against His will.

If God created humans to be like Him, then He must have expected and wanted us to act like Him. I believe God wants us to make all of the scientific and technological progresses and breakthroughs. I mean when the Know-It-All Almighty God created us, He must have known what we are going to be like. Nothing we do should be surprising to Him if He is God. He sees into the eternity, right? Or does He have no idea how humans will behave when He created us? Is God just like some of us that He creates and does things without planning and without knowing the consequences? Does He make mistakes too? Does He have regrets and wishes He can turn back time to erase His mistakes? Does the Creator Himself do things by trial and error too? Thinking about all these questions, make me wonder if humans created God. Maybe God is really a positive force within ourselves. He is the unlimited potential within all human beings. We call upon Him especially when we are in desperate situations, when we are sad, when we are in a crisis, when we have a need or a wish, and when we feel like dying and hopeless. We use God to understand and describe all the struggles both around us and within ourselves. God is a powerful energy within ourselves. We should not need icons created by religions to discover this force. This force is not just within us, but it also exists aound us as a balance. It balances good against evil, hope against hopeless. It is mother nature with cycles of fortunes and misfortunes. We turn to churches and religions to understand these cycles and forces. We let religions become the authority and handed our own innate powers to the churches. We became followers and puppets. And churches have created stories to reinforce the idea that we need to be their followers; otherwise, we will be condemned. I believe people will not be condemned because they are not religious and don't believe in churches. As a matter of fact, I believe people will become free. They will have freedom and more control over their own lives. Humans condemn humans, the divine "God" does not condemn His own children because It is a POSITIVE force.
