Answer 1

I am apostolic. I understand from the bible that there is One God, not a trinity. Jesus is the father, Jesus is the son, and Jesus is the holy ghost. I know that the bible says that to be saved, you need to repent, be baptized in Jesus' Name, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. You need to lead a separated life, and touch not the unclean things of the world.

Scientology:
Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable personal estate, when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

P.S. You're welcome.

Answer 4

I'm a Pagan. God is both male and female, and every natural thing on Earth is a part of them. The Circle of life, the wheel of the year, karma, and reincarnation are all parts of Paganism. If you would like to know more, there's www.witchvox.com that has a good amount of information. One think I love about Paganism is that it's very diverse and there almost no wrong way to practice it.

On an side note, I think it's awesome that you're asking such an open-minded question. Blessed be.

Answer 7

jewish. G-d is neither male or female. G-d is indivisible and has no physical form. G-d is eternal. the torah is a lawbook from G-d to the jews. non-jews of whatever religion do not have to follow the 613 commandments given in the torah, they just have to be ethical. there may or may not be an afterlife, but most jews believe in some form of an afterlife. there is definitely no hell and definitely no devil. most believe in something similar to heaven, many believe in reincarnation (gilgul haneshamot in hebrew). we do not believe in original sin, we believe people are born pure of sin. many jews also believe in a messiah ( a human man who will bring about a peaceful world ).

Answer 8

Muslims believe that God revealed his direct word for humanity to Muhammad (c. 570–July 6, 632) through the angel Gabriel and earlier prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the last prophet of God, based on the Qur'anic phrase "Seal of the Prophets" and sayings of Muhammad himself, and Quran'ic teachings will be valid until the day of the Resurrection. Muslims assert that their holy book, the Qur'an, is flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God to humanity.

Muslims hold that Islam is the same essential belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam. The Qur'an, used by all sects of the Muslim faith, codifys the direct words of God. Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians "people of the Book," and distinguishes them from "polytheists." In order to reconcile the often radical disagreements regarding events and interpretation that exist between the earlier writers and the Qu'ran, Muslims believe that Jews and Christians distorted the word of God after it was revealed to them, deliberately altering words in meaning, form and placement in their respective holy texts, with Jews changing the Tawrat (Torah) and Christians the Injeel (Gospels). Without these distortions, known as tahrif, or tabdīl ("alteration, substitution") the main content of the Torah and Gospels would allegedly have been in accord with the later teachings of the Quran
