What religion are you? If Christian do you stick to any denomination and why?

Answer 1

United Pentecostal because we believe in the relationship with the Creator the same way that the Apostles did. We believe in the Salvation Process as laid out in Acts 2:38 as St. Peter preached, we believe in the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of tongues, as the first assembly experienced, and we believe that the Holy Ghost leads us in all truth. As Jesus Christ came to reveal the truth of the Old Testament, the Holy Ghost reveals the truth in the whole Bible.

Answer 2

If I have to belong to a major religion, it is Christianity. I have faith and I believe, including believing that Jesus was born of a virgin.
I do NOT belong to any denomination; the hypocrisy is just too much! Also, I do tend to mix Native American beliefs in with Christianity...but then, peoples all over the world do that (witness the Christmas tree, mistletoe, Easter rabbit, etc.) All of the different ones are so willing to change what is stated in the Bible. Baptists scorn Catholics for their "dead Jesus"; they are so sure that the only way to Heaven is through their church!
Sorry, I believe in the Bible, but not man.

Answer 3

I have my own personal faith. I think Jesus said and did some amazing things, but I have no time for any organised religion. I think for myself, and do not obey the dictates of what others tell me.

What I believe is long and complex, so I want bore you with it all. But I do believe there is something more to all of this. And that it is a great deal more wonderful than we can imagine. And I do not believe at all in concepts like Hell. A personal Hell perhaps of having to realise wrongs done. But certainly no lakes of fire and everlasting damnation.

Answer 4

My religion is Hinduism.

Hinduism, the world’s oldest religion, has no beginning--it precedes recorded history. It has no human founder. It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one. Hinduism has four main denominations--Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism.

The following nine facts, though not exhaustive, offer a simple summary of Hindu spirituality or about Hinudism.

1 Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.
2 Hindus believe in the divinity of the four Vedas, the world's most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are God's word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion.
3 Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution.
4 Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.
5 Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not a single soul will be deprived of this destiny.
6 Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments and personal devotionals create a communion with these devas (divine beings) and God.
7 Hindus believe that an enlightened master, or satguru, is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry, meditation and surrender in God.
8 Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa, noninjury, in thought, word and deed.
9 Hindus believe that no religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine paths are facets of God's Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.

Hindus believe in one Supreme Being. In the Hindu pantheon there are said to be three hundred and thirty-three million Lords(divine beings). The plurality of Lords are perceived as divine creations of that one Being. So, Hinduism has one supreme God, but it has an extensive hierarchy of Lords.

Hinduism views existence as composed of three worlds. The First World is the physical universe; the Second World is the subtle astral or mental plane of existence in which the devas, angels and spirits live; and the Third World is the spiritual universe of the Mahadevas, "great shining beings," our Hindu Lords. Hinduism is the harmonious working together of these three worlds.

The Veda is the Hindu holy book. The four books of the Vedas—Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva—include over 100,000 verses. The knowledge imparted by the Vedas ranges from earthy devotion to high philosophy. Their words and wisdom permeate Hindu thought, ritual and meditation. The Vedas are the ultimate scriptural authority for Hindus. Their oldest portions are said by some to date back as far as 6,000 bce, orally transmitted for most of history and written down in Sanskrit in the last few millennia, making them the world’s longest and most ancient scripture. The
Vedas open a rare window into ancient Indian society, proclaiming life’s sacredness and the way to oneness with God.

Hinduism is unique among the world's religions. I boldly proclaim it the oldest religion in the world. To begin with, it is mankind's oldest spiritual declaration, the very fountainhead of faith on the planet. Hinduism's venerable age has seasoned it to maturity. It is the only religion, to my knowledge, which is not founded in a single historic event or prophet, but which itself precedes recorded history. Hinduism has been called the "cradle of spirituality," and the "mother of all religions," partially because it has influenced virtually every major religion and partly because it can absorb all other religions, honor and embrace their scriptures, their saints, their philosophy. This is possible because Hinduism looks compassionately on all genuine spiritual effort and knows unmistakably that all souls are evolving toward union with the Divine, and all are destined, without exception, to achieve spiritual enlightenment and liberation in this or a future life.

Answer 5

Catholic! And yes I was raised a catholic and will remain a catholic. In spite of the problems the catholic church and certain priest have had over the years my religious beliefs
have nothing to do with my being a catholic. Changing ones
religious affiliation does nothing. Those who profess to be born again are people with huge nose problems. At least that is the way I find it.
