i was wondering is it exeptable to just believe that there is a god up there that created everything and to just try your best to become a better person each day and put love into every thing you do as well as love others and treat them the way that you would like to be treated after all doesnt every religion speak of love as the most important thing

Answer 1

Don't listen to the crap coming form the other replies to your question. The point is it is a GREAT start and if everyone thought the way you do the world would be a beautiful place.

Take things one step at a time and you'll get there!!!

Answer 2

If it is acceptable to you then that is what counts. You must set yourself on the path that you feel is right for you by figuring out how you want to develop as a person. Learn from, not only your own mistakes, but others as well to help you make decisions in the future. It is also good to have a role model, either fictional or realistic. If you find yourself facing hard times, think how your role model would deal with the same situation.

Answer 3

Love is the most important thing, but yet almost all religions do not show Love. They call people their brothers but wouldn't hesitate to go blow people of their own faiths away if they ticked them off or another world war came. what is acceptable to god is for us to get to know him, build faith in him, prayer to him and be so moved as to dedicate your life around him. He wants everyone to survive and has given us a tool to do so.
I hate sounding like a bible thumper as they call it, but my faith isn't as strong as Id like it to be, but I went and sat in a convention for three days and I came out of it so refreshed and knew exactly what it was that I had went there looking for. Faith without works is Dead. Faith with works is Alive. Look to the bible, it has your answer loud and clear. Just dont let people mislead you into believing what man wants is more important . Don't strive after man made tradition and pray for yourself and others around you and the answers will become clear. One more thing look for gods name in psalm 83:18 and use it.

Answer 4

Yes. As a Hindu I would say that it is acceptable. If that is the spiritual goal you have set for yourself, then that is the goal you should strive to reach. All of us have many different spiritual goals. The Hindu religion (and Dharmic religions in general: Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism) would say that your spiritual goal as stated would help produce good karma in your life. As you work within this spiritual goal you may discovered other spiritual goals that you desire to achieve.

Peace be with you.

Answer 5

That is what we will be judged on come judgment day. But to get back to the father in heaven we also need the Help of Jesus that is why he gave his blood for us. For no imperfect thing can reside with God. It takes the blood of Christ to wash us clean and our faith that he will do it for us.

Answer 6

The devil believes there is a God up there, but he wont be going to heaven. You must accept Jesus as your personal savior. Go to a good bible believing church and listen to what its all about. I would suggest an Assembly of God, Baptist or non denominational church.

Joh 3:15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

Answer 8

A lot of people have that belief. They are called deists (used typically if you think that god isn't involved in our lives) or just non-religious....not agnostics as someone else said.
