What are your beliefs?

Question

I'm agnostic, and I believe that once you die, you are then reborn again, and if you were a good person in that past life, you are born into a better life, and things are better for you, but if you were a jerk, your next life is worse. Kind of like levels, if you fail it, aka, being a jerk, you are set back one lever. But this is just my opinion.

Now, if you are a firm believer in God and Jesus, please don't go off and tell me how I'm going to Hell, and how I should convert to whatever your religion is. I have spent many years trying to figure this out, and I am NOT changing my mind now.

I'm only sharing my opinion with you guys, and was curious as to what you believe. I support people to have their own opinion, and will not think less of you if you think differently of my opinion.

Also, I think just morals and Mother Nature would decide whether you should have abtter life, or worse.

I also appreciate the people who aren't judging me because of what I beleive. Personally, i would rather be judged on my personality, rather than something that has no deffinite proff (no offence to people who beleive). Also, for those who don't know what Agnostic means, it means that I don't beleive, yet I don't NOT believe.

Answer 1

I believe in multiple deities, some who have an interest in mankind and some who don't. My deities are neither all good nor all bad---they are a mixture of positive and negative just like me. I do not believe that an all-powerful deity exists. I believe that my higher self (super-conscious?) chooses which circumstances that I am born into and it chooses lives based upon the possible opportunities to learn and grow in the areas that I need. I feel that my higher self also knows when I've learned what I have come here to learn and it's time to go. This doesn't mean that I have any conscious knowledge of the reasons in this lifetime. My beliefs are animistic but I do not feel that souls have a gender. I do not believe in proselytizing and honestly feel that everyone is on the spiritual path that they need to be on right now--if they need to be on one at all. My journey is not "the" right way or the "only" way. It is simply my way and it is right for me.

Answer 2

not sure. I think there is a god, but who or what he is, who knows? Maybe he just helped the Big Bang move along and doesn't really care about us. Maybe he's the Lord Jesus Christ. Who knows? I choose to believe in God because it gives more meaning to life. And it's hard to answer some questions about theories like the Big Bang, so it seems that in the end, it has to come back to omnipotence. How could all of this happen without at least a little help from someone who is not defined by the laws of physics as we know them? It just makes more sense to me that way. Ahh you see where I'm coming from, no need to ramble further.... Have a nice day.

Answer 3

I believe God and the afterlife are irrelevant.

If they exist, God would be able to understand people's motives and send them to the afterlife they truly deserve. Someone who only behaves like a good person because they fear punishment for misbehavior is not worthy of a reward. The only people who are worthy of a reward are those who fundamentally care nothing about the reward and just try to improve the lives of others whenever they can.

If God and the afterlife don't exist, everyone would be better off focusing on improving the world around us instead of worrying about what will happen after death.

Answer 4

I believe that when you pass from this life, it's a birth into the spiritual life, which is faaaaaar greater than this earthly life. I believe the soul keeps on developing after this life. I don't believe in a traditional heaven or hell, with angels and harps or fire and brimstone.

Being a Baha'i, we believe that heaven is closeness to God, and hell is remoteness from God. People can be in heaven or hell no matter what plane of existence they are currently in.

I do not believe in reincarnation. Who would ever want to come back to physical world? We're spiritual in nature, and going through a physical experience in this world. Once we leave here, we don't come back here, but continue developing in the next life.

I have no intention of telling you stuff like you've mentioned, because it's against my religion to argue religion. Besides, that's rude. It also makes enemies, and I like your openness and would never want to make enemies with you or with anyone.

Peace be with you!

Answer 5

What do I believe? Nowhere near what I was taught to believe!

Even though I now believe in God and his Word, I’m not going to tell you you’re going to Hell because you’re already there. But you are right in believing that when you discard your present body you will be reborn into another one. In this manner you will spend “eternity” in Hades until you find the Way out of it. In this way, Man is recycled endlessly in the underworld with no hope of escape by his own devices, and he experiences over and over again the "fires" of Hell. He takes down his tent in his hope to escape them, but wakes up again in the midst of them. It becomes a vicious circle, a circle with no end, and the "fires" become known as "everlasting and unquenchable."

When the tent is dismantled, the spirit departs and returns to the earth. And on the very day that he returns to the earth, his thoughts, his plans, and his memory of his former places perish -- and he is cast once again into the fires of Hell.

Hell is a place where the "worm" does not die. [Mark 9:48] The worm or maggot signifies decay and certainly never dies in the world of decay. Every inhabitant in the world of the dead feeds on death. Nothing can exist in the underworld without the destruction of something else that grows or moves whether it be a cow, a lamb, a head of cabbage, or a blade of grass. Even the blade of grass feeds on the destruction of others for it cannot grow without decaying organic matter in the soil.

The entire Bible, from front to back, is concerned with releasing Adam (Man) from his sentence of death, from his imprisonment in the world of the dead, which is "beneath", and restoring him to his former estate in the world of the living which is “above.”

Answer 6

Well, what I believe is what God says we ought to believe. A real christian would never point fingers but point out the answer. But I believe that if you do what Romans 10:9&10 says that if you believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord then you shall be saved. And after that you seek God to become a better peron and have a more intimate relationship with him. And when we die God is the judge of our good works. He will be the one to say job well done thy servant. Being a christian or believing in God should't be a cult or a religious thing. It should be a way of life. It should become apart of you. And thats my belief. I live everyday trying to be a better servant of God.

Answer 7

Agnostic about the existence of God. Jewish culture. Buddhist thoughts. Blablabla.

Just sort of living my life by words of wisdom and not fearing some higher power. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy life if I was scared I was a sinner that might go to hell.

Answer 8

What kind of answer are you looking for? It sounds to me like you're playing too many video games with all that talk about levels and such. But, that is just my opinion. I never would tell someone that their beliefs and faith is wrong. And I would never think I could be so all-knowing as to say who's going to hell and who's not. I do believe in God and Jesus. It's just something in my heart (faith), I didn't have to spend many years analyzing this.

Answer 9

OK, this is my belief.
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe that once we die, we go before God and Jesus for judgment. I believe that they either open the pearly gates of heaven and let us in for an eternity of perfection and all thing wonderful...or Jesus looks up and tells you that he doesn't know you and to be gone... then you go to an eternal life of pain and torture in hell.

Just curious, with your agnostic belief, who is the one that decides what your next life is to be like.?

Answer 10

I believe in the sand beneath my toes. The beach gives a feeling, an earthly feeling and I believe in the faith that grows. And the four right chords could make me cry. When I'm with you I feel like I could die and that would be all right. All right.
