Christianity influences alot of ppl. My question: I don't believe in [G/g]od as depected in the bible.....

Question

....but I do believe in a [G/g]od that made the universe. I've been titled as "atheiest" and "pagan" even "the anti-christ" lol. I just want to know what you believe about my "title" and not what the bible forces you to say about me. What would you title me?

Answer 1

Maybe you're a pantheist or pagan, seeing the sacred in everything in the universe?

Answer 2

Depends:
You're Deist if you believe God created the universe and set the natural laws into motion but, will not interfere with humans afterwards.
You're an agnostic, if you're not sure about god's existence but believe he doesn't interfere.
You're a pagan if you have a pantheon of different gods who each have their own respective domain.
You're a satanist if you don't believe in an after life but worship Satan, Set, etc. to mock organize religions.
You're Atheist if you're for sure god does not exist.

By the way you're stating it I'm guessing you're a Deist. Famous Deist would be the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. [If you haven't notice that the declaration of independence doesn't ever mention the word God, just creator]

Answer 3

Well if you believe in God you aren't an agnostic. There are two kinds of agnostics: one who says NO one can know God, and the other says people might be able to know God, but they personally have not been convinced yet.

If you simply believe God created the universe, and thats it, then you are probably a Deist. Essentially they believe God created the laws of nature and all that, and left those laws to govern the world.

Beyond that, you might simply be "irreligious". That is not "Atheist". Atheistic is "not believing in God", but irreligious is essentially "not caring" in one degree or another. I suppose it is possible to believe in God and still be irreligious, since you may feel there is something beyond this life but you don't really care to delve into thinking about it. So irreligious might be the term that fits you best from the details you gave.

Answer 4

I don't really know what to call it, but I would definitely not call it misguided, confused, athiest or anything else. The Bible was written by people who had their own ideas about how things are. I personally believe that if Jesus didn't say it it doesn't really matter that much. It's just some guy's opinion on how things should be. Jesus said one of the highest commandments is to love God but he didn't say what God or what you should consider HIm to be. The fact that we have other religions is just a result of people believing in something they've never seen and know nothing about. So we are going to have different ideas of what God is. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Answer 5

God does not care what you think man. All he cares about is the choise you make and if you make the wrong choice, you suffer the consequences. Man has a law and if you break it you suffer the consequences. What makes you think God doesn't have a law. This thing is so real I can smell it man, better pray for understanding or you will suffer the consequences.

Deu 13:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Answer 6

It sounds like you're a deist. You cannot be an atheist because clearly you believe in a god/God/higher power...just not the Judeo-Christian god. And despite what evangelicals say, you can still have a belief in God (or whichever label you prefer) and not believe in the creation account found in Genesis.

Answer 7

Check out Gnosis. the Gnostics Question where Agnostics don't. the first form of Christianity was Gnostic in accordance with Jesus's teachings, then Rome changed everything 300 years later. they perfered their Gods to be like super heroes and so now Jesus is viewed as saving the world through his death. but his life was much more important then his death will ever be.

Answer 8

A non-Christian. You don't say what you do believe so how can one give you a "title" or "label" with regard to your religion?

A few Christians labeled me "misguided" and "lost sheep". I've been told I'm going to hell a time or two.

Answer 9

Spiritual

Answer 10

Many Bible pupils are Christians - many are actually not. regardless of their religious orientation, it particularly is a peer-reviewed academic self-discipline with ties to background and archaeology. So confident, you are able to settle for his or her be conscious on the concern, thinking maximum of them (like Ehrman) carry PhD's. yet New testomony pupils, historians and archaeologists agree that early Christianity grew to become into no longer heavily inspired via pagan religions, a minimum of exterior of the glaring philosophical categories. The opinion isn't with the aid of bias, it particularly is with the aid of undeniable fact that many of the alleged similarities easily have no historic precedent. Take Mithraism, to illustrate. Of the similarities circulated on the internet, maximum are thoroughly unsubstantiated and extremely very nearly exceptional interior the sphere of Mithraic learn. Mithras, to illustrate, grew to become into no longer born on December twenty 5th, grew to become into no longer born of a virgin, did no longer have 12 disciples, grew to become into no longer killed (much less as a sacrificial atonement for sin), and so on. returned on the concern of biblical learn, i think of you ought to be somewhat puzzled on that one. we're not conversing approximately preachers, clergy, or people knowledgeable at a seminary. biblical learn is a mundane substantial taught at faculties and universities international huge. it particularly is interior the comparable vein as Egyptology, Assyriology, Mithraic learn, and so on. The peer overview technique exists with a view to ensure that experts are right referred to as such, with out attention for religious history.
