Open floor ... tell me what YOU believe without the mention of what others believe?

Question

This is open for EVERYBODY.

Sorry, I should have said what I believe too. So here it is. I am a believer in the holy bible.

Answer 1

That there is a positive force that moves through every thing as well as a negative force. I have a choose to which I'll follow, this is free will, it makes me human, that ability to remember the past and use it for experience, making plans in the moment that will follow into the future. I am the product of billions of years of evolution and am interconnected to every thing that has ever been. My cells contain atoms that were once part of a star in a long gone galaxy therefor I am part of the universe. I was born a spiritual being into a society that followed both paths and wrote that upon my Psyche, therefor it is my duty to reclaime my birthrite, to find my true nature. The Journey is a adventure.

Answer 2

I believe that most of today's religions are completely unnecessary and result in wars and hatred rather than true spiritual knowledge. Sin is man-made, as is all the other bs dogma about imperfect humans falling short of some stupid ideal placed by a dictator-like God. We are here on this earth because we were meant to be, so live life to the fullest, help and love others, try to make a difference in the world, fight against the foolish dogma and man-made barriers that we place upon ourselves, stand up for peace, love and justice. We all have the power to make this world a better place. We need to begin thinking for ourselves and not regurgitate what a centuries old book and some religious leaders tell us to believe.

Answer 3

I believe that capital punishment is wrong. It's murder right, and besides what if the jury's is wrong and the person didn't do it. What a shame.

I believe in treating people and animals with respect and decency. I hate the dog eat dog world we live in where people step on each other to get ahead. We should just work hard when we are at work but not hurt each other to get ahead. Money isn't everything, but integrity is.

And I believe marriage. When you make a commitment to someone in front of God and everyone to stay together forever. Then you should do it. If you can't make that sort of commitment then don't get married.

I believe in the Trinity. I believe that even though I mess up and sin constantly that I will go to heaven because Jesus died and forgives me. I can't prove this inconclusively, but I believe it.

I believe in family. If you have kids, then love them and take care of them and spend time with them. And for God's sake--love them equally.

I believe if you take a pet into your home, then it needs to be loved as part of your family. It's not a toy. It's a living breathing feeling animal. Don't just stick it in the backyard and feed it occasionally. Give it love, cuddle it, let it you love it everyday. And of course give it food and water and take it to the vet when it needs it.

Thanks for the opportunity to get this all off my chest! I feel better! You rock! Good question.

Answer 4

I believe in a continuity with ancient religions past. I believe that there are as many gods and goddesses as we create for ourselves. I believe that religion is a confuit through which we organize our thoughts and feelings, that spirituality is how we act upon those feelings. I believe that there are things in this world that we will never understand, so we just take our best guess at what they are and how to work with them. I believe in the power of prayer, of magic, of spells, of dancing. I believe in visions. I believe that the earth is talking to all of us if we just learn how to listen. I believe that myth serves a vital need within us. I believe that all myths are created by man. I believe that all myths are true. I see no contradiction between these two beliefs.

I believe that love and respect are the highest callings for a human being to achieve in their lifetime. I believe that a lot of humans are lazy about this. I believe that a lot of people divorce themselves from the reality of their actions because they can. I believe that our reliance on petrolum products is incredibly destructive to the earth.

I believe that people are capable of acts of great viciousness and also great love. The key is to realize which is which, take responsiblity for the ones that are hurtful, and take your lumps. I do not believe in sin, I believe in choices. I do not believe that humanity is a bad thing. Humans are as good or bad as they choose to be. I believe that no one needs to be or can be "saved" by an outside power, we can only save ourselves. Any other kind of saving is inherantly shallow. I believe that none of us have any right to hurt each other, with words, deeds, or spiritual powers (prayers, spellwork, etc) and that anyone who tries will find their efforts unsucessful because that is not how the universe works - spiritually.

I believe that there is no hell but the hell that we create for ourselves. When we die, our bodies go back to nourish the ground (or at least they should if we don't plug them full of formeldahyde) and our souls go onto whatever place they go to rest up for the next trip down. I believe that in this way, the dead never really leave us, and they're here if you want to talk to them at any time. They are the grass, in the trees, in rich soil and dusty dirt.

I believe that the only great commandments are thus: love thy neighbor as yourself, do what you will if it harms none, and live every day being proud of your scars.

Answer 5

Believe are based on others theory's of others or person experiences. If you
eliminate others than all you have is your own experiences. I have hear and seen thing witch are not explainable by science or logic. These thing lead me to the believe that there is other realities beyond the physic. These profound experience have formed that I believe. You could not believe them if you had not experienced them yourself. They are personal and don't fall into any standard.
P.S.If you are wondering I have chosen to become a Christian although many of the things I have experienced don't fall into the standards of others.

Answer 6

I believe in God, the Eternal Father, in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.

I believe that man is not born into sin, that he creates his own sin. Adam's transgression doesn't mean that I'm a sinner. Jesus' attonment, death and resurection cleansed Adam of his sin and so his sin is no more.

I believe that we create our own heaven or hell. It isn't what we believe that matters, it's how we believe.

You can believe what you will, I won't push my beliefs onto you, just don't try to push yours onto me.

I believe in the golden rule- do unto others as you would have then do unto you. If you follow this rule, no one can ever say that you were a mean, spiteful person.

I believe my elder brother, Jesus, suffered in Gethsemane for me, personally, and died on the cross to open the way for all of us to repent, be forgiven, be resurrected and have eternal life.
I believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God and the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly.
I believe that Jospeh Smith was truly a prophet of God. I believe that he saw and spoke to God the Father and Jesus Christ. That they called him by name and instructed him to restore the fulness of the everlasting gospel to the earth.
I believe that the covenants I have made in the temple will enable me to return to the presence of my Heavenly Father and that I can live forever with him and my family. I believe that my marriage is sealed for time and all eternity.
I believe that by reading and following the Book of Mormon's teachings, any person can become closer to the Lord than by any other way.

Answer 10

In a God who is supreme and created everything-all knowing and everlasting eternal powerful and strong yet so kind he cares even for the sparrow-his son Jesus who willingly died(sometimes hard to understand) why -when we do not deserve such LOVE! The holy spirit that dwells in our heart now if we let him!-and ask--There are a lot of things in this world that I don't understand!
