Tell me about your Religion...?

Question

(without making any snyde/ignorant comparisoms to someone else' --- PLEASE)

- I'd like to know the name of your 'god(s)' (or God)...
- How you worship...
- What thing convinced you to follow the 'god' (God) you follow...
- If you believe in Heaven/Hell (or equivalent...and no, earth doesn't count)
- the name of your official 'Bible'
- Why you worship God (god)

This question is Open to all faiths....and even atheist who worship no god (but rather themself)...

I'm Christian. I believe in God. The Holy Bible is my 'bible'...lol...I believe in Heaven & Hell. I believe God judges all ( & not man!) and I believe the only way to worship is in the way we live...to bring honor/glory to Christ, by obeying God's teachings.

Note to "jlmbratz" ... you say you're a Christian and that your 'gods' are God & Jesus...

I'm confused. I thought Christianity was belief in ONE God (The God) Jesus is God. If this is what you meant well & good...but meanwhile, it might be confusing to some readers --- who may be led to think you worship 'gods' (plural)

It might be a mild case of syntax adjustment (gods - God) but whatever...
God Bless!

Answer 1

Well darn, sounds like you covered all the bases. That's not fair. They made it so that you can't answer your own question for a reason. What kind of quiz has the right answer at the bottom? At least joke books write it upside down to make it fun. Now I'm all bummed out.

Answer 2

I am a Christian. I believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and the Virgin Mary. I may not be a Catholic but I still believe in her. And not that this has anything to do with it but I am tired of people asking questions about if they tell God to go to hell is it a prayer and stuff like that. The world should accept Jesus Christ as our savior and then, maybe the world crisises will just go away! I do believe in Heaven and Hell, my book is the Holy Bible.

Answer 3

I am a Catholic Christian. This creed explains what Catholics believe to be Catholic:

Nicene Creed (Profession of Faith)

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten not made, one in being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day, he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
with the Father and the son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy, catholic, apostolic church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Answer 4

as a catholic,

I beleive in God, the Father Almighty

Creator of Heaven and earth
I believe i Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary
suffered under piolot, was crusified, died and was burried. He rose again from the dead, He ascended into Heaven, sits at the right hand of God,
from there, He will come and judge the world in the end.

This is pretty much the Catholic church in a nutshell, but like all churches, or at lelast most, you can't write down everything you believe (that is without making you regret you asked the question :-) hee hee ) but I am glad you asked.

God bless

Answer 5

I am a Catholic. I beleive in the trinity, which is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, three in one. This concept is impossible for humans to understand, so Cathioics (i'm not sure about protastants) beleive out if faith.

Whoever said that God and Jusus are two different gods is wrong, they are separate, the same, equal, and each part of eachother at the same time, together with the Holy Spirit.

Answer 6

First of all good question.

I was raised in a Protestant environment however I have gone down my own path. I figured out what my beliefs are, which are more based on a spiritual path as opposed to a religious path.

Through this spiritual quest I came upon material of the Edgar Cayce and the A.R.E. I'm in a Search For God study group (which has been very helpful).

I believe in God. I worship by praying, meditating, reading spiritual material (Old and New age) and by the daily practice of manifesting God's Love in the service of others as best as I can.

Love God, Love Others, Love Yourself

Answer 7

I am a Catholic, we believe in Heaven and Hell, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the Saints and the Angels, and we read the Bible, but do not take it literally because of the fact that many priest, bishops, archbishops and Popes have completely screwed it up. First of all Mary Magdalene was not a whore, she had some demons and she was a hairdresser (believe it or not hairdressers have it harder than you think and I completely love and respect them because my aunt is one). Pope Gregory said she was a whore because she was introduced after the whore, but further reach showed that Mary Magdalene was not one. The word "sin" in the Torah and in Hebrew is a letter in the alphabet and a word meaning "to miss the mark" not to go against God. Jesus or God is a mentor a teacher, he will not send you to Hell, you send yourself to Hell due to your state of mind (good and evil are all in your mind, think about it). God loves and forgives everyone no matter what, but you have to love and forgive yourself first before anything else. God does not care about what you say because words are meaningless to God, God cares about what you do. If you help others and do good things, then that is all God cares about.

Answer 8

The name of my GOD is " I AM THAT I AM" Exodus 3:14

I worship on my knees in prayer every morning.

My observation of the world has convinced me of the existence of GOD. Since there is both good and evil, I chose to believe in good.

I believe in heaven, however, hellfire does not come until after the Second Coming. Revelation 20

My official Bible is KJV/NKJV. Also known as the "Holy Bible".

I worship HIM because I love HIM. HE has given me hope for eternity.

Answer 9

I am Pagan. I was raised in the Episcopal church...but didn't get much from it. Seems I mostly spent time looking at the stained glass. lol I do have a love for Christ ....but he is not God to me. He was a very gifted human who had a wonderful message for us all. I believe in both the male and female aspects of the DIVINE. I refer to the female aspect as Mother Goddess or Mother Azna.....the male aspect is Father God. I don't believe that God is a wrathful and I believe we judge ourselves. I worship by living in a way that is respectful to myself and the earth. We celebrate the Solstice's and the Equinox's. I like the Buddist saying...,"Religion is like a wheel...all spokes lead to the center." I believe that the Divine is different for everyone and manifests in the ways that we would relate to or understand best. It's all the same "GOD" energy! ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just different for different people around the world! I don't believe in the dogma of the Church ..........such as confession for Catholics etc...I don't feel that there needs to be a "go between person" persay...The Divine knows what is in my heart. I believe that each human being has the right to worship or not worship in whatever way they choose.......as long as it harms none! No one has the right to tell others that their idea of God is wrong...........and in turn....people don't have the right to "inflict" their religion on others!
I believe in the afterlife...in fact... I believe that we are spirits having a physical experience. The earth is our classroom. We are here to learn lessons to help our souls become evolved and enlightened. I don't believe in Hell. But I do believe that pure evil does exist. I don't believe in a heaven......not like in the clouds or anything like that. I believe that our physical lives are somewhat like a dream and our true waking selves are the spirits within us. I believe that everything happens as it is supposed to and for a reason. I don't have an official Bible. Dont need one. I worship because my soul needs to be in touch with its waking self! I have a very STRONG faith in what I believe and it has helped me through many a rough time. Bottom line........I worship and believe the way I do because it feels right and true to me! I have some very Christian friends and I'm glad it works for them.......but I don't appreciate being told that I'm giong to learn the truth when I die or that I might go to hell because I don't believe the way they do. I respect their beliefs and simply ask that I am respected in mine! Namaste! (That means I respect the spirit of the Divine that is within you! )

Answer 10

I am atheist, I do not believe there is a higher being, but contrary to that little remark you seem to have not been able to help yourself from throwing in, I do not worship myself. I worship nobody. I still believe in morals and values. I believe that evolution has taken place, my proof comes from the fact that things are always evolving. They may not have enough proof yet as far as humans evolving, but there is proof of viruses, birds and such evolving. This is a great question, it is always good to learn about what others believe or think.
