What do you believe in, can you express your beliefs without talking about others, here is your chance?

Question

I am curious if anyone can express how the believe without talking about other people.

I believe that Jesus Christ died for all of our sins, so we can be saved. I believe that one day I will be walking in heaven in peace. I love to worship the Lord and read the Bible.

What do you believe?

Answer 1

What I Believe:
1. God is sovereign (1Ti 6:15), good (Psalms 86:4), loving (1 John 4:16), Holy (Isaiah 6:3; Rev 4:8), and righteous (Psalms 7:11).

2. Every unregenerate person is a sinner (Rom 3:23), dead in his sins (Eph 2:1), possessing a deceitful heart (Jer 17:9), is full of evil (Mark 7:21-23), unable to understand spiritual truth (1Co 2:14), does not seek for God (Rom 3:11), is a slave to his own sin nature (Rom 6:14-20), is hostile in mind and deed to God (Col 1:21), and naturally and rightfully are objects of God's wrath (Eph 2:3).

3. Because of their sinful condition (Rom 6:14-20), the unregenerate do not and cannot freely choose to believe the gospel (Rom 3:10-12; Rom 6:14-20) and that they cannot come to God unless it has been granted to them from the Father (John 6:65) who appoints them to eternal life (Acts 13:48) and grants that they believe (Phi 1:29).

4. God in His love and mercy and out of the kind intention of His own will (Eph 1:5), from before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4), elected (Mark 13:20; Rom 8:33), chose (2Th 2:13-14), and predestined (Eph 1:5,11) some of the lost to salvation and left the others to go their natural way, to damnation (Eph 2:3).

5. God's sovereign predestination was not based upon God looking into the future to see who would pick Him (this would mean that God learned) for no one would pick Him because they are slaves to their sinful natures (Rom 3:10-12; 6:14-20), full of evil (Mark 7:21-23), enemies of God (Rom 5:10), with nothing good dwelling in them (Rom 7:18), hateful, disobedient, and enslaved to their lusts (Titus 3:3).

6. The elect's believing is based solely on the grace of God (Eph 1:7; 2:8), not the will of man (John 1:13; Rom 9:13), and not based upon any foreseen goodness in man (Rom 9:11-13). If God elected based upon the foreseen goodness or choice of someone, then God would be a respecter of persons since He would be showing favoritism based on something in the sinner. God's decisions are according to His own will, according to His own purpose (Eph 1:5), because God is not a respecter of persons (Rom 2:11).

7. Furthermore, those who receive Christ (John 1:12) are justified by faith alone (Rom 5:1), through grace alone (Eph 2:8), in Christ alone (John 14:6).

8. God loves the world (Mat 5:43-48; John 3:16), not just the Jews (John 7:35; Rom 1:16; 2:10), and gave His Son as a propitiation (1 John 4:10), not only for the Jews to whom the Son was sent (Mat 15:24; Acts 13:46), but also for the whole world (1 John 2:2), both Jews and Gentiles (Rom 1:16).

9. As many as receive Christ (John 1:12) do so because they have been appointed to eternal life (Acts 13:48), granted that they believe (Phi 1:29), granted that they repent (2Ti 2:25), and caused to be born again (1Pe 1:3), not by their own wills (John 1:13).

10. The atoning work of Jesus who is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col 2:9), the second person of the Triune Godhead (John 1:1-3; John 10:30; Philippians 2:5-7; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3), who became sin on our behalf (2Co 5:21), who bore our sins in His body on the cross (1Pe 2:24), who died, was buried, and rose from the dead (1Co 15:3-4), in the same body that He died in (John 2:19-21; Luke 24:39; John 20:27), whose sacrifice was sufficient to save all, but was intended only for the elect and therefore, Jesus only bore the sins of the elect (John 10:11,15; Rom 5:18; 2Co 5:14).

11. God first regenerates the hearts (Ezekiel 36:26-27) and minds of the unsaved so that they are then able to respond to the gospel message and then, by faith, they receive Christ as is evidenced in the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:22-23), the third person of the Triune Godhead, and that they are born again not of their own wills, but of God's will (John 1:13) who has caused them to be born again (1Pe 1:3).

12. Because the salvation of the elect is completely grounded in Christ, they cannot fall away (John 10:27-28; 1 John 2:19).

Finally, in short, I am a five point Calvinist, amillennial, post-trib rapture at the Final Judgment, pseudo-baptistic (not for salvation), non-cessationalist, and covenantal.

Answer 2

I like you believe in My Lord Jesus, who is also my Saviour. While I agree that you cannot just be silent about your beliefs I aslo beleive that your actions will speak far louder than your words. That is why James said "faith without works is dead."

So in addition to all you have said I believe in the praying and healing of the sick, the casting out of demons, no affliction from poison and the the raising of the dead. The Lord has blessed me in that I done most of the above and except the raising of the dead. It does not mean that I do not have my moments of weakness but I see that with eash passing day my faith is grow.

I also believe that there is only ONE TRUE And LIVING GOD. And that all the rest are dead or demonic. That does not mean I do not love all people...I do...but hate all sin (including my own) and all false gods.

We live in a time where compromise is the order of the day. Jesus never did!
(Watch the reaction!)

Answer 3

I believe there is one God for all. We were created by One. We went in different paths on earth but once we leave this earth we will all go back to one path to God once again. It doesnt matter which religion we study as long as we follow basically loving others as yourself, and showing respect kindness and lending a helping hand to whoever that needs it. Also when you go to speak ask yourself if what you were about to say, does it do anyone good or does it spread anger and hate. Allow others to have their own opinion without feeling superior. I believe we have much more ability in our minds. I believe in intuition. I believe in the afterlife. I do not feel it is devils work at all. I have an open mind.

Answer 4

I believe that waring religions are tearing the world apart.
I believe that religion is used more often for profit and control then for love.
I believe that science holds many answers about the world, however there is still so much to learn.
I believe that everyone in their life should try to improve themselves intellectually, constantly learning something new is the greatest thing something can do with their life.
I believe that there are many beautiful things in nature and in human history that should be explored.
I believe that when I die my mind ceases to exist, so one must leave their own impression upon the world before they leave it, be it through raising a family, writing songs, discovering planets, creating equations that solve questions, creating beautiful works of art or just in general devoting their selves to their work and doing a brilliant job, no matter what that job is.

I believe that Life should not be wasted.

Answer 5

I believe that there is a sacred force that manifests in living things, which are all things in the natural world. This creative force, which has no gender, is imminent in all the natural world, and is also transcendent of the natural world.

I experience this divine Source in maleness and femaleness, in light and dark, in community and individuality, in the cycle of life - gestation, growth, maturity, decay, death, and transmutation, in cold and heat, etc.

The God is one polarity, the Goddess the other.

This is the world view of of many Pagans (though not all) - not a fight between good and evil, but a dance between the Goddess and the God.

The balance of God and Goddess is ever-changing and yet follows a repeating pattern. At any moment, the God energy/force may be in ascendancy (Summer) or the Goddess energy/force may be (Winter), but the dance has a pattern that does not change.

We circle around and come back to where we started from.


Since the Divine is *manifest* in the natural world, we can learn about the Divine from observing that natural world. It is the primary source of our understanding, and the reason that we cannot claim to know the "one truth" or "one right way" - for just as there is no one right way to be a flower or tree or dog or bird or rock or cloud, there can be no ONE right way to experience the Divine or have a relationship with It.

We celebrate the Dance of the seasons, and the dance of our own lives, which also follow the pattern; we grow, and mature, and decline, and die, and change into something else.

Our holidays (holy days) mark the most important of the balance points, and also the seasonal changes: the solstices and Equinoxes, and the seasons of planting and harvest and fallowness. We gather also at full (and for some, dark) Moons, and we look inside ourselves and see what we need to work on.

We gather to celebrate LIFE, to honor death, to celebrate change that repeats and repeats and repeats.

Our altars are everywhere, for the entire Earth is sacred. Our names for the Goddess and the God are myriad, for They have been experienced in many cultures through the ages.

Our purpose is to align ourselves with the sacred pattern that exists in the natural world, to be an active part of the cycle of life, NOT to try to make the natural world conform to our convenience or greed or hunger for power.

If you can be deeply moved by listening to uplifting music in your church or synagogue or a concert hall, then you know how I feel when I listen to birdsong or breezes; if you can just NOT help but clap or shout "Amen!' or "Hallelujah!", then you know why I dance in celebration to drums and chants; if your eyes fill with tears of joy at knowing that you are loved by your God, then you know how I feel when my feet touch the flesh of our Mother; if you weep over the story of the crucifixion, then you know how I react to seeing people polluting and degrading the good green Earth that we live on.

The Divine is in all things in the Natural world. We don't own the Earth. She is not our possession, but our Mother.

Answer 6

I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior, he paid for all my sins and I must Live to love and learn to love.
I can fight against evil but not with my strengths but with His Holy Spirit. I need to be inspired by my God and do what he asked, " Love each other as I loved you "
Yes, I'll be one day walking in the valley of the Lord.
God had have compassion from me, and I believe that He Invited to me to "Practice what I preach" and let's pray for the world.
God Bless you!
Peace be with you all!!

Answer 7

well, I am a Muslim and i wish every human being to enter the Heaven and may God (Allah) guide us to the true path to know the truth. Amen
and we believe in the whole prophets included ( Jesus, Muhammad, Moses, David...) all of them.
According to Islam, Jesus(P.B.U.H) was raised up to God (Allah)

thanks for your question ;)

but the thing that I don't like is that people think that Muslim people are terrorists :( althought, those who explode or burn or kill innocent people are not Muslims according to Quran.

That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not (4:157).......

Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;- (4:158)

God carried Jesus (P.B.U.H) up to heaven in a whirlwind at some point during Jesus' life



and if you want to know more go to:

Do Muslims believe that Jesus will come back? Do they believe, like the Christians that someone will come first acting like Jesus? If so, how are we going to recognize the true Jesus? then enter this website:

Answer 8

I believe too many different things to fit in this space. :)
Here's a few:
I believe that I'm intelligent and beautiful.
I believe that I am a good and loving, lovable person.
I believe that science has many, but not all, the answers.
I believe that life is a learning and growing process.

Answer 9

I do that all the time--I'm santerian and I believe that God's name is oludamare and he creates universes--he created ours and moved on, leaving behind his son to choose mortal people who had lived virtuous lives to become saints and act as gods in his stead--that's the nutshell version anyway

Answer 10

I do believe Jesus (yeshua) is our saviour his salvation ( yeshu'ah ) was for told in the old testiment psalms and by isiah and when mary became pregnant both she and Joseph were told to call him Yeshua as he would save his people, that is those who accept him. Yesua means savalvation or God saves but it is clear he was the one God sent and still is with God.

Answer 11

Put religions aside....

I believe in loving kindness and compassion.
I believe in generating a good heart.
I believe in live everyday to the fullest so if I would die, I can die without any regret.
