I don't mean, do you feel like you live your religion perfectly, all the time? But in general, do you feel you abide by the precepts which represent your religion?

Since you've been kind enough to allow for a degree of human error and mistakes, I can say yes.
thanks

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I try to live what I am taughtand know is right. I know I will never be perfect in this life but I also know I am expected to try and then after I have done all I can do, the Lord will make up the difference!
Of course I have my weaknesses, but I hope I can always be a good example.

You know it seems like the longer I've studied the bible, the more I see myself in a true light....which isn't very flattering! I strive to do as Jesus asks, and fail often. Thank God for a savior. Psalm 37 tells me not to be weary in well doing, and sometimes I am. But I'm grateful that I have such a high mark to aim for (example, the Beatitudes in Matthew 5)...even when I miss it.

I don't exactly have precepts. But I'm constantly aware of what I believe, and I kind of tend to exist in a swirling mass of it. All the time. Maybe too much.

Yes, I believe that I live my faith.
Does this mean that I live it "perfectly, all the time"? By no means.
I believe that I am a spiritual child growing in my faith of the one true God. Each day I learn more. Each day I make a mistake here and there. Each day God continues to forgive me and continues to love me.
Good guestion. Thanks for asking.

Greetings!!!
Contending with the weakness of my flesh, I have a long, long way to go. Yet when I can recall memory to my aid, I think I'm doing the best I can at the moment.
Peace and good Will!

I don't subscribe to any particular religion anymore, but I was raised Roman Catholic. Do I live by it? I would hope not, because I don't believe in "an eye for an eye" and other such teachings.
My belief is "Harm none and love all." Except for the occasional fly, I think I live by my belief. :)

Yes, I pray 2 or three times a day not because I have to, because I want to, I try to help people to come to Christ, on here and other places , talking to people when I go out, I try to read the Bible every day, but I don't read it as much as I would like, and there's usually not a day goes by that I'm not reading or looking something up about God, the Bible,...so on..I go to church on Sundays and I have several TV ministries I listen too daily some of them while I'm on here answering questions I can listen to them and do what ever while I'm on the computer, when I'm driving ,my radio is set on a Gospel music station, and I still feel like I need to do so much more, I'm also working on a poem that I dreamed about going to heaven that I'm trying to get to people because in the dream the angels told me to tell everyone about the dream....so I am , no I'm not perfect I'm far from it and I wish I was just more dedicated to serving him....my goal is to be more like Christ....but I fall very short of coming anywhere close to anything he's ever done...but i continue on. Oh here's my dream poem...pass it on if you like. God Bless You
THE DREAM
I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE." I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH, THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATE QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME." I HEARD THEM SAY, "WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY." THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN. YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN, IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME, PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!
I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

Yes. I go to communion almost every day....go to church every Sunday....go to confession at least once a month. Give to christian charity and spread the glory of Jesus and Mary and all the blessed in heaven.
