What is your religion or belief, why is it right for you?

Question

You don't have to be equated with a religion to answer this, just tell me what you believe and why you believe it.

Then answer if there is any room for change in your way of thinking, why or why not.

Answer 1

I believe in common sense. I believe we should always try to overcome ourselves. we hold ourselves back with fear and judgements and doubts. Also with negative thinking. I believe in respect for all people and all religions. I feel we should have open minds and try to find answers for ourselves. I look to all faiths for inspiration and understanding and if i find something good i just accept it. If it doesnt make sense or i dont agree, i just let it go. I believe there is something out there that answers your prayers if your true and honest about the things you pray about. we get what we need not what we want.

Answer 2

Church of Christ is the church in the bible

The church of God also which states that you are in the church He GAVE ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY TO CHRIST

It's really very simple because you follow what is aid in

scripture and you can't go wrong. Most so called churches go

by what their Pastor says and th Bible says to follow Jesus

(Jn 8:32) the Christian church is founded upon New Covenant

faith. Luke 16:16 ... Laws were preached until John then the

GOSPEL and all presseth unto it. This is backed by the Hebrews testimony Chapters 7,8,9,and 10. We are under

a New Cov....t but so called churches follow the Old and CRUCIFY CHRIST AGAIN AND AGAIN TO AN OPEN SHAME (HEB 6:6)

CHRISTIANITY and no room for error the bible speaks of the

other RELIGIONS (1TIM 4:1-4) CATHOLICS REFUSE TO MARRY AND TO EAT MEATS (LINT) , MUSLIMS REFUSE TO EAT MEATS (PORK, CATFISH, SHRIMP ETC.)

AGAIN it's too easy to find THE simple TRUTH (JN 4:23)

I DON'T HAVE TO shave my head worship under a fig leaf

pray towards the East become like a virgin where clothing

or my wife where too much clothing pray at certain times of

the day (Christians pray without ceasing)

Pray through a man (Christ is the only one who intercedes)

NOT a priest Heb says Christ wouldn't even be a priest if

He were on earth today Heb 8:4 AT ALL!!

Answer 3

I would find it difficult indeed to be "equated with a religion." Perhaps affiliated at times, but never equated.

I am an agnostic. Fundamentally, that means that I believe that there is the possibility of some spiritual component in human life, but that I don't believe that it is a "God," in the sense understood by the three major monotheistic religions. I don't believe in an afterlife.

Since I am an agnostic, I constantly seeking and learning, so my way of thinking alters often.

Answer 4

I'm a Catholic convert who accepts the teachings of the Church. My beliefs are summed up by the Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty and in Jesus Christ, His only-begotten Son. I believe in the Holy Spirit, one Holy Catholic and apostolic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Those are absolutes in my belief system, and I won't be changing my mind on them any time soon. But as far as being open-minded toward other faiths, yes, I am always willing to learn more about them.

Answer 5

I believe in God, the Father Almightily, Creator of Heaven and Earth ... I believe in his son Jesus Christ ... who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born onto the Virgin Mary. For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilot, suffered died, and was buried. He descended to Hell. On the third day he rose. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He'll come again to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, The Holy Catholic Church, The communion of Saints, Forgiveness of Sins, Resurrection of the Body, and life everlasting ... Amen

Answer 6

I am a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My conversion came after a loooooong period of research and soul searching.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of our Heavenly Father. I believe that they are different entities (I believe this because of all the many scriptures where God speaks from heaven in Jesus' presence, and because Jesus prayed and talked to the Father while on earth).

I believe that the Biblical prophecies of a falling away from the complete and full teachings of Jesus Christ have occurred in the recent history after the disciples were killed.

I believe that the Biblical prophecies of a restitution of all things has occurred. I believe that this was done through Joseph Smith. I also believe that he is the farm boy that William Tindale spoke of while being persecuted for translating the Holy Bible into English.

I believe the Book of Mormon is holy scripture (I do not believe it replaces the Holy Bible - it stands as a second witness of Jesus Christ)

I believe that we are all sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father and that we were all present in the grand council spoken of in Revelations. We all chose to come here and gain a physical body and have our faith tested to see if we would make all the choices necessary to return to live with our Heavenly Father.

I believe in the resurrection of all people as is told in the New Testament and a judgement day.

I believe in the Spirit World (Paradise and Prison) spoken of by Jesus Christ.

I believe we can all draw closer to our Heavenly Father if we sincerely try.

I believe that we will all be joint heirs with Christ if we follow all His commandments.

I believe that there is a living prophet on this earth at this time to lead those that believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. He acts as the mouthpiece of the Lord (I believe this because of the scripture: Surely He will do nothing, but he revealeth His secrets through His prophets. I see the necessity of a prophet in these days, just as those of old).

I believe that all people that have ever lived on this earth will have the opportunity to hear all the teachings of Jesus Christ, and will have the opportunity to accept them or not, even after mortal death (I believe this because Jesus went to teach the souls in prison after His crucifixtion, and He would not do this to mock them, He did it because they still have the ability to choose).

There is much more I believe, but due to length, I'll end.

There is no room for change in my beliefs. I would absolutely accept more truth, however, as it is revealed by God.
Why not? My entire life I have searched for truth. Once I found it, why would I walk away from it? I would have to deny the Holy Ghost, and that sin is unforgivable in this life and the next. I choose not to deny the witness I've received.

Answer 7

1.) I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

2.) I am a Christian. I have testimony of Jesus Christ as my Savior and as the divine Savior of all mankind.

3.) I believe we are all literally spirit brothers and sisters and spirit children of God.

4.) I believe the Book of Mormon is the Word of of God and the Bible. I believe that God is not limited to the Bible in scripture. I believe he could bring forth more scripture if he so chooses. I believe he wants us to pray to him to find out what is truth and what is not.

5.) I believe there is a prophet of God on the earth today. He guides us through revelation and in love of Christ. If we follow him we will not be tossed to and frow with every wind of doctrine and point of man.

6.) I believe Jesus is the literal Son of our loving and perfect Father in Heaven.

7.) I believe families can be forever and the family is the most important unit eternally and while in mortality.

8.) I respect the right of others to worship in the best way they know how.

9.) I believe in doing good to all men and loving our neighbors as ourselves.

I know in my heart, mind and soul that these things are true and I want the world to know for themselves. I know everyone can know for themselves. Through careful and humble prayer to our Father in Heaven.

There is more, but I think this is enough to answer your question... thank you for the opportunity and have a good day! :)

Answer 8

Buddhist philosophy interests me because it seeks to explain existence without recourse to God and it seems more lucid and logical than Christianity or any other religion I've studied. There is always room for change but I don't see myself looking elsewhere in the near future.

Answer 9

i'm muslim and i'm completely believe in my religion ((ISLAM)) cause every thing in quran make sense ,there is thousands and thousands of proves which show that islam is the only true religion, sorry i know it's hard for anyone who doesn't believe in my religion to accept and face the truth but that all i have to say :)

Answer 10

As your nick suggests, surely one does not need to be asscociated with any religion to answer you this very simple question.My belief is self belief, why?, because without which one is aimless.Adaptive thinking is best practised.
