believing in God means you're willing to follow His teachings and apply them into you life to get closer to Him. You can't follow God unless you keep His commandments without any deception or hypocrisy. For thus reasons that His children could be instructed in His ways and always remember Him and keep His commandments, He has called prophets and apostles and established a church. Faith without works is dead. contact me if you have questions.... www.mormon.org You can't have fulness of joy unless you're doing God's will and learning of His ways to find real happiness and progress in this life. Choose to seek out the true Church of God, then your joy will be full

I think not. Just saying I believe in God without following a religion seems a little dodgy to me. It's like you do take the nice part, but you don't want to know the consequences. What is the consequence of the existence of God. It means that you have a certain responsibility of the way you live your life. Just believing in God is to easy.

If you believe in God, you may already accept that there's only one religion since the beginning of the humanity.The question is which religion to follow. This depends on you desire and will to find the truth. People cannot satisfy their interests and desires just by doing what they want. If you want to find guiding lines in your life you should look for the sipmlest path that best fits your natural need to believe. But you have to compare certain sources before deciding. By employing sincere efforts, I hope you'll get the answer.

Your faith isn't about what church you attend necessarily, though some churches are suspect and I have a few I would never go near after what I have learned about them. It is about what we believe and learn from reading the Bible and studying what it says, and following the guidelines so to speak that are set for us in the Bible as they provide guidance on living a life that is a reflection your beliefs in God and your acceptance of Jesus as your savior. Being a Christian is a religion. Perhaps you are confusing religion with denominations of religion such as Methodist or Lutheran. As for the question: is it useful? Imagine a world without hope or something to believe in that is greater than ourselves.

In simple terms Religion is a way to reach God. If you believe in God then you fallow a certain religion.

You can do it, It makes no difference. Your true religion and God is there inside you, and there is nothing wrong in believing in any religion because "Religion gives you nothing new; it only takes off obstacles and lets you see yourself." God bless you to find out your true religion.

Yes. Organized religion is the creation of man. Understanding God is a individual journey. Don't let some ideology cloud your journey. Learn to know God yourself, it will make your understanding more clear and much stronger.

A personal relationship with god is better than organized religion any day. The religious aren't necessarily Godly.
