What are yoru religious beleifs? Why? What brought you to those beleifs? How strongly do you beleive in it?

Question

Please be as specific as you can here when describign your religious beleifs and why you beleive in them.

Thanks.

To fireball226: Why do you think it is true? I don't agree with you. I think all religions are true and yet they are all false. It's just an opinion based on your spiritual beleifs and whatever your heart tells you. I'm open minded spiritually and what you say is a closed minded statement.

To Quas: I beleive in the Mother Goddess too and am also a pagann. I grew up Christian, but when i moved out of my parent's home, I found the religion that's right for me.

Answer 1

That's a difficult question to answer briefly, but I'll give it a try.

Prior to birth we lived as spirit children of heavenly parents. As part of a plan for our continued growth and development this earth was prepared with conditions under which we would have experiences that would help us learn. God can and does provide us with information about what is right (e.g., through prophets), but the idea is to learn to really understand how to tell the difference between right and wrong. One necessary ingredient for this to happen is to have competing voices telling us what is right. Another is for us to be able to experience what happens when people make both good and bad choices.

For example, I teach my children that honesty is important and I hope they'll believe what I say. As they experience what happens when a relationship is damaged due to a lie, they may gain an appreciation for why honesty is so important.

This is a small piece of my beliefs, but is at the core. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is also central, but to go into this would make my answer too long for this forum.

The reason I believe these things is that I've learned a good deal about distinguishing between right and wrong by using both my mind and heart together instead of independently. It's easy to be deceived unless you do this. When you combine this with prayer, you can learn a great deal. God does answer prayers.

Answer 2

I grew up a reformed Christian and I am now a Baptist Christian. I love who I am and who I get to be while being involved with the church. It is nice to belong to something and have that solid ground to walk on.

I have been a Christian forever, I grew up that way. So leaving the church was never an option until I moved out. I stopped going for like three weeks but I had to go back, I just love the Lord that much and need to learn more about him.

I believe in him very strongly. But that doesn't mean I know enough about him to minister my beliefs to other people. I want to be able to do that but there is so much I do not know. It is hard to explain how I feel about my religion, all I can say is I love God and everything He represents, I only with I could love him as much he loves me.

Answer 3

Raised catholic, my family were peasant Cajuns farmers, live without the basics utilities. I grow up in a small town & most of the people were Christians of some sort. But as I grew up and got older I realized the trickery in religion, when your young you embrace it because its the way your taught and the young mind will say yes mother I love Jesus, because you know that if you don't mother will slap the crap out of you. Using terroristic tactic on our young minds makes good useful citizens. To work for the rulers. the same physiologies used in the creation of civilian is used today to control the mass, not just religion but religion is the base of terror used to control us. Because we know what happens if we don't have money. our butts will be without society and the hardship will dome our minds.
Why, I lived it and seen it, its planted deep into my mind of what can happen with out money, but God will comfort you enough to understand that the social live you can no longer afford is meaningless compared to what he will provide for you. God showed me . There is no other thing or person on this earth that can do the things god can do, you have to understand god communicates with us telepathically, so the mundane things you say and do has no meaning to God. Its your true feelings that are important,We try to hide from god by trying to present ourselves to others as good and moral but we know we also can be evil and cruel at the same time.
I Know there is a source that we call God with all my hart & I also know the religion we now have can be the most evil base of learning about God, Religion needs to transform and turn away from the power of money & greed because it also promotes these.
I belong to god and have no religion.

Answer 4

I think my beliefs go beyond religion, since I felt God in my heart as young as three or four years old. I feel my spirit and soul has been around perhaps lived other lives. The more lives you live, the more knowledge of God you have in your spirit memory. People that lack faith in God could just be new spirits created, but they will learn in time, the next life.
I ascertain this to be true because of memories, and spirits that come to me as if they know me, they are very protective of me, loving and comforting. How can I not have faith when I feel like this and these things happen to me, even God's presence intervene to me once, and what he said to me.
What I ascertain through the experiences in my life is you not need to be in a religion, just believe that God is there and be open to all the ways he communicates........ God Jesus Christ is my religion~!~

Answer 5

Great Question.

As children of God, I believe that God is hidden deep within each person. (The kingdom is within you) I began practicing a meditation that allows the mind to settle down to perceive that which is behind everything. It is a strong believe for me because it is based on direct experience.

I believe in it now because I have the evidence of my own personal growth that verifies the practice.

Answer 6

I am Pagan, and follow the path of the Mother Goddess, that Her spirit, essence, is in all things on the planet and universe (the smallest grain of sand, a blade of grass.)

I don't know you well enough, nor anyone else here to tell you why I believe strongly in the Mother Goddess.
Regardless to say, that I am a devout solitary Pagan, and put my life in Her.

Answer 7

From your question it appears you believe that truth is relative. What's right for me may not be right for you. If you really believe that, why ask the question? If my truth is only true for me, then what good does it do you?

My truth is that you're completely wrong. You couldn't be more wrong. It's pointless for you to argue that point with me because that's what's true for me and everything you say is nonsense.

Unfortunately (for you) truth isn't relative. There are absolutes. For example, you say that's true for me isn't necessarily true for you. That's an absolute. It's true for both of us. But if there are absolutes like that one, then your statement that what's true for you isn't necessarily true for me can't be true.

You're laboring under a false understanding of truth. There are many absolutes. We know lots of them from science, but the same principle applies to religion and philosophy.

I'm assuming you're going to realize the error of your ways and simply stop coming here. But in the event you decide to examine absolute truth, you'll find there is a God, he cares about you personally, and has revealed himself to you through the Bible. In it you'll find more truth than you can likely handle.

Best wishes.

Answer 8

Christian Methodist cuz the Trinity is true and im born again since 76...God called me thru His spirit....100% belief

Answer 9

I believe in the harmony of the universe. If we speak about GOD... to abstract to understand. I don't believe in churches or mosques or whatsoever... neither do I believe in priests of any kind and in religious ceremonies of any kind. A person doesn't need an intermediary to communicate with the superiour powers.

Answer 10

I am Christian, Baptist/Holiness. I was raised in the Church. I believe with all of my heart and soul in the Bible, the Love of God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am in spiritual warfare in a sense. I am determined to be what God has outlined for me no matter what. Thanks for asking a great question.
