What are your religious/spiritual beliefs? Why? Ever had a spiritual revelation you care to share?

Question

I've rejoined the spiritual path after being away from it for almost a year and have been reading some heavy sacred texts from many different beliefs and religions.

More background on it can be found on my blog entry, "Spirituality and Religious Revelations".

Thanks ahead of time for sharing your personal spiritual/religious beliefs.

PS. Yes, I do read the Bible, and other major religious texts.

P.P.S. Yes, I do believe in God. It's all the other stuff I'm not too sure about.

Answer 1

I believe that God tests us in many different ways....and does not abandon us if we fail....While in a prayer meeting..I had four sets of healing hands on me at once...I was uncomfortable for some reason....I knew that two sets of hands had ill intent.....I asked God in my mind to remove the ones who were a threat...and within seconds....two sets of hands were removed....That, my friend, is the Lord I Love at work! He knows EVERYTHING!

Answer 2

You should pray to God everyday and don't let the sins of this generation shine on you and trick you.Satan will do anything to take you out of God's word.You might think that some things are right because Satan tries to make it seem so right like having sex before marriage.So amny people think its alright but that's wrong.Just saty in God's path and don't take any breaks from God.He's coming and you won't even know it.(Revelation 22:20-21)God Bless You!!

Answer 3

I'm a Nondenominational Pagan. (I hear everyone muttering, "no! not again!!", so you can stoppit now.) ;)

God... whatever name you choose to call Him/Her/It/Them... Divinity for me, is, as most paths admit, perfect.

Mankind, however, as more paths admit, is not.

Imperfect Humanity, by definition, cannot fully comprehend Perfect Divinity (I know, a lot of you have read it already, I'm probably driving everyone nuts...).

Divinity, however, being perfect, knew when It had brought us about, that we would not be able to agree on It's nature, or be able to worship It in the same way. Divinity is smart though (being Perfect, It has to be.) and figured that It would make sure that everyone had at least part of the Truth. (This is the explanation for the similarity in Paths, not that the Devil is misleading everyone who isn't Christian, otherwise, everyone who was around before Christ is going to Hell).

Divinity is Whatever has put Order to the Universe (or to Chaos as I say from time to time). Everyone knows what they call It. Some don't realize what they're calling. (One day I'm gonna get hate mail for this) Atheists know Divinity as well. God didn't make the Universe (nor did Divinity) it was the Big Bang and Evolution. It's merely Astrophysics and Biology at Work. Hmm... sounds like Order being put to the Chaos to me. Sorry, guys. (Hey, at least I don't try to narrow it down to "their" God.)

Divinity created it all, Divinity is within it all. I am just as close to It in a kayak as a Christian is to God with their Bible, or a Muslim facing Mecca is to Allah, or anyone else being close to their Divinity for that matter.

I don't do a lot of spellwork, I -do- do a lot of Praise. (I said do-do.) I don't see the difference between praying -for- something and doing spellwork other than the amount of personal energy focused into it.

I believe Divinity has a Sense of Humor and that is one of It's Gifts to us. (How else can you explain the look of indignation on a cat's face when it falls off of something? Or better yet, the reaction of a squirrell that has fallen out of a tree?) I believe Divinity adores seeing us enjoy It's Creations, otherwise why would sunsets and sunrises hold such beauty, or why would ice crystals in clouds cause sundogs and other atmospheric phenomena? (really, check this stuff out, people, http://www.weather-photography.com/gallery.php?cat=optics&subcat=light_ice&expand=light_ice )

BUT Divinity doesn't put in a Hand (or noodley appendage) for no reason, THIS is why bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people. Karma (being more a Force of Nature than a part of Divinity) takes care of these things. Bad deeds get paid off, and -everyone- has some bad deeds. Good deeds get their rewards.

Anyway, that's a basic overview. I know my explanations drag on and on, but if a question's asked, I want to give a good answer and explanation, you know.

Oh, spiritual revelation, yes. I dreamed of Jesus last month. He said that I "Honor his Father through His Creations." *shrug* I still think he meant the whole Son of God thing as ...and so are you, and so are you, and so are you.... though. Good man with good teachings, it's a shame more of his followers don't follow all his teachings.


Ok, I'm done now.

Answer 4

I'm pagan
Why? Its something hard to explain I attended catholic school when I was younger and never believed what the father and nuns said they taught kids to hate everything non christian and I was disagreed with that I never believed in the bible . One day when I was 6 (I was kinda precocious girl LOL) I had a dream and I knew that I was pagan, a witch since then I'm a druid Celtic witch and I'm happy and proud )o(

Answer 5

The real spirit of God is found in Jesus name. John 3, that if you ask the Lord to come be your personal Savior he will send his holy spirit into you. And then that spirit will give you revelation moment by moment for ever and lead and guide you and bless your life. John 3 and acts 2. get that spirit and you will have daily revelation of what God is doing and his plan for your life. Go read your bible its all there! Start in john and read to the end.

Answer 6

I was listening to CBC radio one evening on the way to visit a friend who had a brain tumor, and it was an interview with someone from "Rolling Stone" magazine, who was recounting an experience he had in Medjugorje, I couldn't stop my tears from falling as he spoke. I felt so confirmed in the Spirit right then and there, and felt the rightness of all that I believed encapsulated in this one man's spiritual journey, which was bared down to his soul for me to hear....and I heard it well, my friend, I heard it well.

I'm Ukrainian and Roman Catholic, and happy to be able to say I'm both.

Answer 7

I'm athiest.

Why am I athiest?

When I was 7 I started going to Sunday school. The 4th time I went the priest dude said "Rock n roll is the devils music" so I quit.
