I am an agnostic theist. I affirm an inability to know about the non existence of a deity or deities and claim this inability leads me to a belief in a catagory of myth containing soul and spirit.
I intend to balance emotive force of one extreme, that of thoughts, beliefs, and expectations arising from discovery of the impending disease and death of my seed body, with emotive force of another extreme, that of the thoughts, beliefs and expectations arising from mystery of immunity and life of soul and spirit. Therefore, I define souls as the animating forces and vital principles credited with ordering thoughts, feelings and actions that manifest as conscious will in bodies that live and die. Souls exist as the divine eternal essence of finite self. I define spirit as the animating force and vital principle credited with the creation and evaluation of the universe. Spirit exists as the divine eternal essence of the infinite world.

I believe in God: The father, Son and Holy Spirit
I think to a certain extent everyone's belief is unique in the way that we understand different things even people of the same religion. Some have more faith than others, some have more knowledge. I think God made us unique and so therefore our belief's may be similar but are different also.

I believe that Christ is the ONLY Son of God.
That He came to this world: born of a virgin, sinned not, performed miracles, taught, healed, and died--taking the sins of the world on His shoulders.
I believe that He was dead, and laid in a tomb three days and three nights, before rising again--having the keys of hell and the grave!
He conquered death by rising again.
I believe He walked the earth after His Resurrection and was seen of men.
I believe He went back to Heaven to prepare a place for us.
I believe He sent the Holy Spirit to be a Comforter and Help to His believers.
I believe He is coming again soon--to take those who are ready for His Coming.
I believe that after the Tribulation--He will war with Satan and his cohorts (including the antichrist) and will triumph.
That's a basic outline of what I believe. How about you?

I believe to my Lord, and to the Fate He created for us
But know that I have ever believed that we just the toy of God. Why? Because we are controlled by His Fate. There is no one can change the Fate except Him. Altough there are some people say that "He would change your Fate if you are trying to change it". However, Fate is the creature of God too, isn't it? So the Fate has its Fate. And the change of the Fate is The Fate's Fate. Confused? So your Fate today is being confused. Ha...ha...ha...

Almighty God is Compassionate, Loving and Merciful. The essence of falsehood is the claim that God cannot deal with and forgive His creatures directly. By over-emphasizing the burden of sin, as well as claiming that God cannot forgive you directly, false religions seek to get people to despair of the Mercy of God. Once they are convinced that they cannot approach God directly, people can be mislead into turning to false gods for help. These "false gods" can take various forms, such as saints, angels, or someone who is believed to be the "Son of God" or "God Incarnate".
The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values
However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.
The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.
This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.
There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.
These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect
It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.
Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.
The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.
As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).
The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."
you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.
The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.
I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach
Your brother in humanity

Most people believe in either creation or evolution. I believe in both. I believe God created the "big bang."
