Are you of the same religion as when you were born? Or have you changed?

Question

That is, were you born into a certain religion and have stayed with it? Or have you found a different belief system?

Answer 1

no
I was raised a Lutheran, and although what Martin Luther stood for, the Stripping away of the unscriptural practices and teachings of the apostate Catholic Church, he never fully removd the levening from the dough. Also, his followers down to today, have not followed through with the example he set in pursuing the course of weeding out the false teachings. They continue with the false doctrines of the trinity, immortal soul, eternal hell, and such, and also participate in the unscriptural traditions of Christmas, Easter, a separate clergy class, vestments, infant baptism, etc.

After studying the Bible extensively, it became obvious that the most important thing for a person to do who wants to please God, is to let go of teachings that are untrue and have their origins in paganism. Also to actually be willing to do what Jesus the Christ commanded is paramount to showing all that one has faith that by doing what was asked will be recognozed by God as
having faith accompanied by works. James write that faith without works is dead.
I made a conscious decision to remove myself from the membership of the Lutheran Church by reason of these and other facts.
All humans are personally responsible to take religion seriously enough to make certain that what they were raised believing is actually 100% in harmony with the Bible.

Answer 2

I was no religion when I was born, but attended Baptist churches infrequently while in my youth. At the age of 30 I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I found that the ideas presented to my by the Missionaries were not all 'shocking' to me and that I actually believed the much the same, due to some similarity in the Baptist church.
Basically I am still a Christian, just attending a different church.

Answer 3

No one is born into a religion. Religion is a choice that is made consciously. My family baptized me in the Episcopal Church as an infant, but thereafter made essentially no effort to raise me as a Christian.

Indeed, they were not even happy for me when I later became a Christian. That was 27 years ago, and to this day I still get flack about being 'intellectually defective' at the dinner table when I visit my family. This despite the fact that they know where I went to school...

Now I have no formal religious affiliation, when I'm visiting my family I go to a Friends (Quaker) Meeting; when I'm back home (in the country to which I emigrated 15 years ago), I go to a Lutheran church because they have the best sermons in town :>

Answer 4

Rigilions do not get down to the math of the facts of the matter.

I became a bible student on my own at age 27, no more religion, just pure bible.

I can not understand 1000 religions. Bible an excepted translation after 300 years.

KJV Bible 1611 published plus 303 = 1914 after Jesus in Rome #6, bible is from #7.

Rev12:1-11[ 1260 days ]; 12:6,11; 13:1-5 [ 42 mo ] ,6-10 is WW1. 13:11-18 is WW2. [1260 plus 1260 is 2520 years after Babylon, plus 1260 days, 42 Months or 3 1/2 years of WW1, as all the bible say, 2520 after Babylon is 1914 after Christ was in Rome Empire six, the bible in seventh Rev.17:10-14 [ #1 to # 5, #6 Jesus, #7 Bible, Jesus comes again in the 8th]. Eighth on soil never organized as 1620 colonies.

Dan.8:12-14 [ 2300 truth in world published 220 years ago next Empire after Rome}.
Dan.8:12-14 [ it was 606 years before Christ ]; 2300 years truth worldwide plus 303 excepted that world has truth at 2600 after Babylon less 606 is 1994 ];

Some intelligence forming here, right?

We are in the last days of the world that has existed from Eden as Jesus warned?

Matt.24: 3[ End of world comimg ], 7 WW1, WW2 &. 14 [ Rev,20:1-6,12,13 1000 years to make all new a world without end Eph.3:21 with Jesus, TELL THE WORLD ] 15 [ As to all Daniel said ], 22 [ For ELECT sake days may be shortened ]. 34 [ this generation will not pass away until all things be fulfilled to pass on from 1914 next 150 years ].
36 [ Only God knows the day and the hour to Rev.20:1-6,12,13 ]; 38 [ for most it will be as in the days of Noah, they will not have a clue that Jesus second coming is near ];

KJV Bible 1611 + 83 = is 1694 + 220 = 1914 + 75 = 1994 Matt.24:34 generation to see.
KJV Bible 2300 less 606 BCE = 1694 + 220 = 1994 + 12 years to 2006 AS TELL ALL.

KJV bible 1611 Rev.9:1-5 [ 5 x 30 = 150 pit open for Satan, the SEALED OF GOD ARE
THERE. Rev.9:12-16; 16:12-12] plus angels time is 391 to 2002 end time established.

Dan.12:11 [ 2x 1290 = 2580 less 2520 is 060 years after Rev,12:7-12; Dan.12:1-13;
Dan.12:12 [ 2x 1335 = 2570 less 2520 is 150 years after Satan cast out of heaven by
Michael.

I CAN NOT LEARN THIS IN RELIGIONS

Answer 5

I was born Catholic and raised that way to the point of doing 2 years seminary. I learned Latin before English and had studied much of the Bible and Hebrew text. I chose to leave the church after I found it too patriarchal and the doctrine was not grounded in the real world. I searched and studied Judaism, the Koran, even looked at Hindu mysticism and voo doo. Ultimately I came to an understanding that the Universe, God, the creator, whatever name you wish to give wanted me only to be happy and be generous and kind to others. I believe in a supreme being and have faith, but I will never return to organized religion, if only because it lends itself to hatred, half-truths, discrimination and sorrow.

Answer 6

I wasn't born any religion. I don't think that anyone is born a certain religion, though many people are raised to follow a certain religion. I wasn't raised any religion either.

I chose to be Pagan at age 15 and have been Pagan since that time. No other religion ever seemed true to me.

Answer 7

No. i became born right into a catholic theory. in spite of the undeniable fact that, 12 months of catholic college and that i became cured from faith completely. :) The christian faith got here alongside after that and it merely re-enforced what I had already been made attentive to from the catholic faith. i'm particular maximum recommend nicely, in spite of the undeniable fact that I witnessed greater hypocrisy and hate than I did Love. I left the bondage of religion years in the past. i've got faith interior the non secular presence of affection in spite of the undeniable fact that, I unquestionably have felt it ever considering that i became little. that's real to me via fact I unquestionably have had quite stories with it throughout the time of my life. :) i'm happy being Myself in what I planned to be God, or, capability. by ability of no ability the non secular deity guy has concocted interior the bible.

Answer 8

Born and raised Catholic.
Always have been, always will be.

I am attending a youth group at a baptist church though, trying to get the best of these two sides of Christianity.

Answer 9

I was baptised Catholic and am now Catholic, however I went through the ususal rebelious period and questioned my faith and looked around at other religions. Then I moved across country away from my family and began to study my Catholic Faith and found that what I was taught made perfect sense....more so than the other ideologies that I researched.

Answer 10

Is the question about religious belief or is it about individual church denominations.....there is a difference that is not always very clear on here.......all the christian based churches are actually part of one body, Christianity. They do not always see it that way, wanting instead to focus on differences rather than the core......
