Your religion...?

Question

Give technical answers and expect some thumps up and down (I believe religion is a sensitive matter).

What makes your religion true (proofs of any kind)?

From how many religions have you had a chance to choose from(only the ones you knew about equally at the time(s) count)?
If just one, will you ever check other ones out?

Do you follow your religion strictly, just the idea or do you do it for others(to belong to a group or make others act nicer towards you)?

Answer 1

My religion is true because I believe in it. It makes me feel happy and whole and at peace. I dont need proof when its a completely personal thing.

I was born and raised in a christian home, it was the only choice I had. Took me 34 yrs to figure out I didnt believe anymore and it was a false religion and that I could follow my heart and not be "doomed" for it.

Ive checked out and read up and asked questions about other religions over many years. Im happy where I am now and have no intention of going back.

Im still learning about my path/ religion if you like, so Im not up to following it strictly quite yet but am getting there. I dont belong to a specific group like those who attend church do so I follow my path just for me as my hubby follows it for him and we've come together to follow it together.

Answer 2

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES believe in Almighty God, Jehovah, Creator of the heavens and the earth. The very existence of the intricately designed wonders in the universe surrounding us reasonably argues that a supremely intelligent and powerful Creator produced it all. Just as the works of men and women reflect their qualities, so do those of Jehovah God. The Bible tells us that “his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.” Also, without voice or words, “the heavens are declaring the glory of God.”—Romans 1:20; Psalm 19:1-4.

People do not mold clay pots or make television sets and computers without a purpose. The earth and its creations of plant and animal life are far more marvelous. The structure of the human body with its trillions of cells is beyond our understanding—even the brain with which we think is incomprehensibly wonderful! If men have a purpose in bringing forth their comparatively insignificant inventions, surely Jehovah God had a purpose in his awesome creations! Proverbs 16:4 says that he does: “Everything Jehovah has made for his purpose.”

Jehovah made the earth for a purpose, as he stated to the first human pair: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth . . . , have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) Because they became disobedient, this couple failed to fill the earth with righteous families who would lovingly care for the earth and its plants and animals. But their failure does not make Jehovah’s purpose fail. Thousands of years later, it was written: “God, the Former of the earth . . . , did not create it simply for nothing.” He “formed it even to be inhabited.” It is not to be destroyed, but “the earth endures for ever.” (Isaiah 45:18; Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible) Jehovah’s purpose for the earth will be realized: “My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do.”—Isaiah 46:10.

Hence, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the earth will remain forever and that all people, living and dead, who will fit in with Jehovah’s purpose for a beautified, inhabited earth may live on it forever. All mankind inherited imperfection from Adam and Eve and, hence, are sinners. (Romans 5:12) The Bible tells us: “The wages sin pays is death.” “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Romans 6:23; Ecclesiastes 9:5; Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Then how can they live again to share in the earthly blessings? Only through the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus, for he said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29; 11:25; Matthew 20:28.this is all iv ever been and i am firmly rooted and yes i do follow the bible completely but we sin in little ways every day iam not perfect but hope to be one day on earth

Answer 3

My religion is Christian. You are confusing religion with denomination. There is only one true religion and that is people who follow the Holy Bible, not people who are just going along by the denomination they choose to participate in. There will be only one heaven and only those who have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior will be there. Read your bible for all the answers. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 4

I play spiritual "follow-the-leader". Jesus is my leader, and I follow Him. I try to follow Him carefully so as not to fall and stumble in sin, though I sometimes fail, yet He picks me back up each time I cry out to Him.

As I faithfully follow Him, He protects me from the pitfalls and dangers of this life so I can make it safely to the other side into His Kingdom.

I did not grow up in a Christian home. We were always taught that Jesus was a liar, possibly a lunatic, but above all else, very definitely dead.

When I had an encounter with God, and Jesus revealed Himself to me as truly the Son of God, I was forced to change my opinions of Him.

It's amazing how that once you actually meet Someone, you can no longer deny His existence.

Answer 5

I was brought up a protestant.
I don't follow religion,but try to keep to the humanity and moral teachings

Answer 6

I'm a non-denominational christian. Jesus sent His son to die for us also, by sending His son, God established a relationship between Himself and man. therefore...Christianity is not a religion.

religion is man made and God has no part in it.

i have a personal/spiritual relationship with God through His son Jesus.

i try to live by the word of God to the best of my ability. im only human.
