Do you have a religion?

Question

If so name it and briefly explain it. Thanks!

Answer 1

No, I have a relationship. God can care less about religion. If that's the case every body has religion, but what is going to please God? When you have a realtionship with Him you are trying to figure that out. What will please Him today? The rappers can get up there and thank God and can belittle women in their songs, yet they feel they are christians. Christians meanes, Christ-ones. I have yet to read in the bible about Christ calling a female out of their name, besides DAUGHTER.

Answer 2

Yes, Ásatrú. Long before Christianity came to northern Europe, the people there (my ancestors) had their own religions. One of these was Asatru. It was practiced in the lands that are today Scandinavia, England, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other countries as well. Asatru is the original or native religious belief for the peoples who lived in these regions.

Asatru is unlike the better-known religions in many ways. Some of these are:

We are polytheistic. That is, we believe in a number of deities, including Goddesses as well as Gods. We do not accept the idea of "original sin", the notion that we are tainted from birth and intrinsically bad, as does Christianity. Thus, we do not need "saving".

The Middle Eastern religions teach either a hatred of other religions or a duty to convert others, often by force. They have often practiced these beliefs with cruel brutality.

We do not claim to be a universal religion or a faith for all of humankind. In fact, we don't think such a thing is possible or desirable. The different branches of humanity have different ways of looking at the world, each of which is valid for them. It is only right that they have different religions, which of course they do.

Answer 3

Hello there!

I am a Jehovah's Witness.

Our beliefs.... Gods name is Jehovah, and his son is Jesus. (Psalms 83:18) Jehovah is the creator of the heavens and the earth.

Jehovah God had a purpose in his awesome creations! Proverbs 16:4 says that he does: "Everything Jehovah has made for his purpose."

Jehovah made the earth for a purpose, as he stated to the first human pair: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth . . . , have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28) Because they became disobedient, this couple failed to fill the earth with righteous families who would lovingly care for the earth and its plants and animals. But their failure does not make Jehovah's purpose fail. Thousands of years later, it was written: "God, the Former of the earth . . . , did not create it simply for nothing." He "formed it even to be inhabited." It is not to be destroyed, but "the earth endures for ever." (Isaiah 45:18; Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible) Jehovah's purpose for the earth will be realized: "My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do."—Isaiah 46:10.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the earth will remain forever and that all people, living and dead, who will fit in with Jehovah's purpose for a beautified, inhabited earth may live on it forever. All mankind inherited imperfection from Adam and Eve and, hence, are sinners. (Romans 5:12) The Bible tells us: "The wages sin pays is death." "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." (Romans 6:23; Ecclesiastes 9:5; Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Then how can they live again to share in the earthly blessings? Only through the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus, for he said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." "All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."—John 5:28, 29; 11:25; Matthew 20:28.

How will this come about? It is explained in "the good news of the kingdom," which Jesus started to proclaim while on earth. (Matthew 4:17-23) But today Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the good news in a very special way.

Answer 4

Yes. I am Kateterian, which is a religion name I have given myself. I was raised in a Prysbeterian church, but have learned through many people different aspects of different religions. All of those aspects have helped me to become who I am today, and what I believe today. I can't say that I am Catholic, or Christian, or Atheist, because I don't believe or fully understand any of those, or any other religions. I take what I completely understand, and believe, and apply it to my every day living. Henceforth, giving me my own religion, and my own standards and faiths to live by.

Answer 5

I have a faith and a spiritual path. But a religion with doctrines and dogmas? No.

I'm Wiccan. Briefly, I believe in the Goddess, the God, the divinity of nature and all things natural, An it harm none, do what ye will (the Rede) and the threefold law - whatever energies you send out will come back to you threefold. I also believe in reincarnation and that we are here to learn lessons so that we may progress on our spiritual path. I believe the natural energy of the universe can be harnessed and "bent" to aid me in my life and to aid others in theirs, if they request such service of me.

I do not believe in Satan, hell, or demons.
