What religion are you?Why do u believe in it?

Question

Some are christian some are jehovah witness some are cathlioc what about you.And what do u believe in it.

Answer 1

I'm Catholic Christian, but I abide by this faith over other Christian denominations simply because I feel most at home here -- my family is Catholic, and I like my community as I have grown up under Catholic teachings (at a Catholic high school, at the moment).

However, I do respect all other religions, including the lack thereof, and do not judge a person for their faith. If I truly get to know a different religion, I can only imagine that it would strengthen my faith, as I believe any religion is simply a different way of interpretting God. Even those who believe in multiple gods seem to understand God the Holy Spirit, from my perspective. Call Him what you like, but I think that any religion believes in the same God, ultimately.

I believe that the best fit of a religion for a person is the one that is born out of love. My parents taught me the Catholic faith out of love for me, and I have known no strife beneath the faith I practice. I was never forced or coerced into my beliefs, and so I hold them firmly. I believe in one God because I can't imagine something coming from nothing without a divine power such as I've been told of (I do believe the theory of evolution, by the way, and all other widely accepted scientific theories) -- the Bible, especially the New Testament, has been studied thoroughly by scientists, studying archeology in the Middle East, and so this only adds to my belief that Jesus once walked this earth as well. It makes sense to me that God would send someone to suffer, die, and rise for our sins, to show us that the once feared God as depicted in the Old Testament, is truly a loving God.

But on I prattle. These are the most basic of my beliefs, and the most firmly held.

Answer 2

I am Hindu.

yes i do believe in its teachings.

Why i m in it is because Hinduism is the only religion which gives the freedom to choose.
I can choose the form of God (also male / female if i like), the methods of worship, Festivals to celebrate.
There are no fix rules to get sticked even if they are rotten in modern times.

Hinduism is the religion of self-belief. I can even discard the God and still remain a proud Hindu accepted by society.

hinduism is the only religin which has evolved in last 3000 years and is evolving continously.

Hinduism is the only religion which has remaind the protector of science while in Christianity and Islam it was not possible for a long time.

There is no fuss about the likes of The Da Vinchi Code. there can not be.

Why Hinduism is Great can be shown by the fact that it is still very much alive while all other old religions have either died or are suffering.

If you have patient then just read Bhagvat Gita.

Answer 3

I'm Muslim and very convinced and proud of Islam. Not only this religion means peace and calls for it, but also the Quran is very scientific. It describes scientific issues that people are still researching on today, or only found answers for lately.

How could a very scientific book (the Quran) that was revealed in a desert at a time where people were absolutely illiterate and ignorant not taken as divine?

This book reveals scientific facts in biology, astronomy, geology etc etc. You can never say that these facts were discovered by someone at that time coz when you study the era when this book was revealed, you'll understand why it is impossible.

Peace be upon you all

Answer 4

Christian: Found it pretty hard to swallow and needed to think about it, Much of what I heard in SS class sounded like fairy tales to me. Well I thought about it very carefully and decided: I had a lot more to lose by not believing and being wrong, than believing and being wrong. I was grown with half grown children before I was convinced that Jesus Christ was actually a man that lived on this earth, and there was much more to the bible than fairy tales. Thought it over some 65 years ago and after much experience, and learning; sometimes in my quiet moments I ask myself : Am I a true believer, or am I still just playing it safe.???

Answer 5

It is not about religon it is about your Relationship with The Lord. I believe in The Word, (THE BIBLE) and that directs my life.
If I were to label myself then I would have to say Christian.
But it not about that at all. It is how you live your life and what you do with it according to the Bible. None of us are perfect and that is why we have The Lord to help us thru things. We are umperfect people in an umperfect world but we can be in a perfect place with The Lord in our lives. Someday soon we believers will go to a better place with no pain, no suffering, no need of anything, no sickness, no paying of bills. There is a place where all who believe in The Lord Jesus Christ will go and live forever in total peace, love, joy, worship, everlasting life, free of any sickness, tears, pain, suffering. Non believers won't be so blessed. Their place is also for eternity and it is full of pain, sorrow, torture, misery, and it too is everlasting. So be wise and choose LIFE by choosing The Lord as your Savior. IT is easy to do. Just ask Him into your life and to forgive you of all your sins. That is that, and from then on you WILL be SAVED and be HIS. He will take care of you forever and always. You could laugh at me but this is not a joke. Someday you will see who was right and who was wrong.

Don't be a fool, choise Life Everlasting. If I am wrong, well then you have nothing to lose BUT if I am RIGHT you have everything to lose. The choice is yours. The Lord accepts anyone where they are and for who they are. This day you can make the most important decision of your life. Try it you will be a WINNER!!!

Answer 6

This "question" seems designed mostly to insult Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians.

Trinitarians repeatedly pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian. Trinitarians use an artificial, trinity-specific definition of the term "Christian" which excludes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God Himself, rather than the Son of God. Interestingly, pagans in the first century pretended that Christ's followers were Atheists(!) because the Christians had a somewhat different idea from the pagans about the nature of God.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Both secular dictionaries and disinterested theologians acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.

The Trinitarian arguments are intended to insult and demean Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to give a Scripturally accurate understanding of the term "Christian".

In fact, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all the times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context connects the term with:
"declaring the good news"
'teaching quite a crowd'
'open eyes, turn from dark to light'
"uttering sayings of truth"
"persuade"
"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: “I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.” But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name


So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

Answer 7

Christian, since I believe God was the creator of all things good. Also, having a faith of life after death. And the bible actually records the entire history of man, something other religions have a hard time explaining.

Answer 8

I am a Christian (Protestant). "Christ is someone to know and trust -John 20:24-31. Religion is something to believe and do. - Matthew 15:1-9. Religion and Christ are not mutually exclusive, but they are very distinct. James: 1:27"

Answer 9

I'm an atheist, but atheism is not a religion. It's the absence of belief in god.

I am convinced there is no god because the evidence just isn't there, and there's no reason to suppose that such evidence will be found.

Answer 10

agnodesiac. i used to kind of believe in god, but then forgot what i was doing.

j/k. i was raized eposcopalian, which is apparently the only sane christian denomination. but then i realized that believing in something that has never been proven and something that fails to make any difference in one's life just isn't feasible. i am not at all religious now, and very happy. i am responsible for what happens to my life, and focus on how i can help myself rather than asking for help from some imaginary father figure that doesn't even respond. it is breathtaking, you should try it sometime!
