What is your religion/philosophy?

Question

I am primarily a Buddhist which consists of philosophies, it is not a religion. I don't agree with all of them, but I do agree with a lot of them.

Whats your religion/philosophy?

Answer 1

I am a Humanist (renaissance), a type of atheism. Humanists believe that a moral and ethical life can be led without dieties, that all mankind's problems can be solved by collective thinking and cooperation. I also tend to lean toward the Wiccan viewpoint of holding the elements in high regard, Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Spirit, (where spirit pertains to the rememberance and sacrifices of those who preceeded us). Humanism is compatible with faiths where "God" is not the ultimate authority and source of knowlege. You, and many of the posters to your question, may also be Humanists and are not aware of it.

Answer 2

I am a Roman Catholic. It is the largest religion in the world and I believe it is due to divine providence. God wants people to know him and his will.

My philosophy is that knowing the truth should harmonize with reality. So, I have searched for the truth about certain philosophies to see if they actually harmonize with reality by asking the right questions.

For instance, Christians believe in the HOLY TRINITY in ONE GOD. Can this be proven by reason. Here is what I discovered:

HOLY TRINITY: A term used since A.D. 200 to denote the central doctrine of the Christian religion. God, who is one and unique in his infinite substance or nature, is three really distinct persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one and only God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet God the Father is not God the Son, but generates the Son eternally, as the Son is eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son, but a distinct person having his divine nature from the Father and Son by eternal procession. The three divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial and deserve co-equal glory and adoration.

We need to know how we are created in God's image to grasp the concept of the Holy Trinity and I think your question is a good one.

God is spirit. He cannot be seen. If you were to examine all the creatures, the CREATOR has made a pattern emerges: angels and demons are intellectual creatures without a body; plants and animals do not have an intellect but a body and mortal soul. IT IS ONLY LIVING, HUMAN, BEINGS, that have a MIND, BODY, and SOUL. Only human beings have all three. Now, living, human, being is the existence of man. Those words describe the essence of man's mind, body, and soul. The Body is living, the Mind makes us human and distinguishing us from animals, and our Soul makes us the being that we become (good or evil).

Now, even Muslims will agree Allah is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (ever present). These words describe the existence of God. So, what is the essence of God? I will hold off answering this question till the end.

Now, if you think about the existence of a person they have a three components to our existence: physical (body), mental (mind), and spiritual (eternal soul). In fact, whenever we create something it has all three of these parts. When we cook we have a recipe (in our mind), we gather all the raw ingredients, and we cook (don't burn it, ha ha) what it is we are making. Cooking has the physical, mental, and spiritual parts. Same with engineering or technology it has three parts: the blueprints (to convey an idea), the raw materials (physical), and the workmanship (spiritual). If something goes wrong investigators will look for a design flaw, material flaw, or faulty workmanship. THIS DEMONSTRATES CREATION HAS THREE PARTS LIKE THE CREATOR.

Now, in the Bible it says Jesus is the visible likeness of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15) The ESSENCE OF GOD IS: Father (mental), Son (physical), Holy Ghost (spiritual). ONE TRUE GOD IN THREE JUST LIKE A PERSON. THREE PARTS ONE PERSON. When you are sick you send for a doctor; when you are mentally troubled, a psychiatrist; when spiritually seeking you seek out a holy person.

I wouldn't necessarily call my denomination a religion either. Religion sounds like some sort of institution or system and that's not how I categorize what I believe

Answer 10

I do not really even like the word religion. I believe that Jesus Christ came to earth to free us from religions. He wanted to teach us to have a life changing relationship with God.

I believe that the Bible is God's life manual for us. As it was written by humans, it was inspired by God.

The Bible says the Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and no one will enter to the Father's house except through Him. I want to be with God after I am done here, so I really need to go to Jesus for my Salvation. As we have a lot of choices here on earth,there is only two choices what comes to eternal life: hell and heaven. And we get to choose.

Buddha abandoned his family ( wife, son , dad and step-mom)...and he became to realization that there is no god. He made many conflicting statements. For example there is no god, but after he reached nirvana, he knew more than god...and stuff like that.

Jesus lived here sinless. He paid for our sins, so EVERYONE can be with God if they just accept His invitation. We have all the time until we die. He loves us. He gave us free will. And He will respect your choice.
