What faith or religion are you???
 

A lot of us here ask for prayer for our babies and also other area's in our lives, and I am wondering what every one believes...

I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus died for our sins.
:)

I am catholic but I enjoy learning about other religons. :)

I am a christian also and know that Jesus has died for our sins and has forgiven all of mine a long time ago.I can't thank him enough for dying on the cross for me and every person that will accept his wonderful gift of salvation.And because he did this for all of us, if we have recieved him as our lord and saviour,we can know for sure that our heavenly father will answer our prayers when we pray in Jesus name.He is so wonderful and loves to answer us when we call on his name .Praise the Lord.

i'm catholic

I'm Catholic. I don't go to church every sunday, but I do say my prayers every night.

Amen
 

And the Good News is that He Lives:thumbup:

I'm Lutheran. I thank the Lord every day for this beautiful world.

I'm an agnostic.

I certainly do respect everyone's religious choices.

I am Catholic:)

North American Baptist Conference which is a German based Baptist.
I found this link for an online radio station just the last few days.
There are some great messages from Pastor Chuck Swindoll, Pastor Greg Laurie, Dr David Jeremiah, it is wonderful with a program guide as well

And all God's Children said -- AMEN.

I am a christian and so is my whole family. The Lord has helped us so much, we are thankful for everything he has done for us and everything he continues to do for us. It is truly amazing what he has done for us. With God all things are possible.

A little off topic here, but has anyone here seen The Passion?? It was a huge hit here. We went out and bought it but I could only watch it once. It was so gory but they say what really happened was alot worse then what they showed in the video. I think of it all the time and how much Jesus loves us to go through that suffering for us. What really amazes me was when he was on the cross and the people throwing rocks at him and cursing him and everything else he still prayed for them saying father forgive them, they do not know. To be able to do that just amazes me. I know if it were me, forgiveness for them would be one of the last things on my mind, but I am only human. Anyways, I thought it was a great movie and a great reminder what Jesus did for us all.


I am sorry I don't know all the religions, I know the more common ones but could you explain what a Lutheran and an Agnostic beliefs are??

Is the Agnostic were you don't belive in any holidays or heaven or hell?? I thought that was called something else. If I am wrong please correct me, like I said I really don't know what it is so don't take offense if I got it totally wrong.

It is really nice to see other people here with the same strong faith and beliefs that I have.

Christian and forgiven because of Jesus' blood. Praise God, He lives !!

Martin Luther is the father of Protestanism. In the 1500s, he led a revolt against the existing Church and its teachings and views - and this movement was the beginning of protestanism.... the Lutheran Church was named after Martin Luther.

An athiest does not believe in the existance of God.

An agnostic isn't sure. He feels that God may exist - or may not exist.... He feels that man can't be sure about the existance or nonexistance of God.

All the above - are very short - but I think you can get the general idea.

:rolleyes: Wow, normally this question elicits a lot of disgust and lack of desire to be discussed. I'm glad to see this response. Since we're on this topic and we're all sharing our beliefs, here's mine:

I don't believe that Jesus was who the bible makes him out to be.
I do believe that there is a higher being. A God if you will, but I don't follow any particular practise. I enjoy seeking the truth and I find that more and more to be in history and what we uncover about our past.
The "telephone game" was never a very reliable one, was it? (i.e. the bible)


In the end, I think it's important for a race like ours that we really need a belief system and the stories of Jesus and the like help many people find comfort when thinking of the unknown.

I am catholic, my bf listens to One Place all the time....I remember a while ago he was playing something from a woman (not sure the name) but she had this series on marriage and it was very interesting...

I am Christian

i am a christian. my birth record states babtist. i went to babtist church up until i was 12. i have been to catholic, lutheran, etc... churches and found all of them to be very enjoyable.

Grew up Baptist, went to a Catholic school...yeah, I was pretty confused about a lot of issues. Now, I'm non-denominational but our church reminds me of Church of Christ.

Grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school. Now I am Non-Denominational. If it wasn't for his loving arms, I am sure I could not have made it.

I am very blessed to work for a company that serves churches of all denominations. We get to pray at work for our customers, ourselves and sometimes Yorkie Talk members (some of my co-workers think I am nuts).

Catholic here. I like the pomp and circumstance, but I don't agree with all the stuff in-between. Learned the most about my faith during the 14 years I taught religious education.

I respect and honor all religions and love exploring them.

I'm not any religion, I believe you should be a good person and help others. I've found religion too restricting(the people I've enountered tend to be too judgmental or closed minded or like to tell you their religion when in life you know that they do things that you'd consider wrong). I don't like religion because I find it's such a personal thing that I hate when people try to sway you towards their thinking about it.

Basically, my belief is be the best person you can be, volunteer, help someone when they need it(especially if they don't ask), treat others how you want them to treat you, don't hurt anyone(emotionally or physically), don't judge someone because they are different than you(race, nationality, gay/straight, prochoice, prolife, religious or not.

A religious symbol doesn't make you a better person...it's your actions. My brother goes to church every week(me, never). He once told me that he considered me one of the purest people he's knows. I took that as a compliment because of the fact that he knows I'm NOT religious.

Pentecostal.

Christian and proud of it. No doubt where I will spend Eternity.:angel2dl:

I am a Christian, but it wasn't always this way.
In 1980 my doctor told me I had cancer need to have surgery to remove it, My marriage had ended, I could not find enough work, had to live on food stamps, and I was on medication every day for allergies. So I gave up and one day ask God to come into my life and help me. I didn't know anything about God but I still ask.

Then amazing things started happening , It was not cancer! I get a job that paid about 4,000 a month grooming!! Three months on food stamps, the most degrading thing I have ever had to do was over, and my allergies went away, I am not joking no more shots or drugs.
So I am a believer in God and Jesus and in Angles , and peace is in my heart every day because of it. Even when the bad things happen in life I know I am not alone. And that is a great feeling, I wish it on everyone.
Some days I can just feel his arms around me. I am lucky.

I totally agree with all this, except, I'm not convinced there is a "God or a higher being". I am more of the belief in a "Universal Energy" that everything (and I mean everything,down to the last little molecule) moves in and around and is highly influenced by. It's this same energy that created the earth. This energy is neither negative or positive, but can be harnessed for positive or negative influences in one's life.

Basically, none of us are victims. We create the life we are in and we can choose to uncreate it. It's just a matter of how you use the energy.

Simplistically stated.

We are catholic, new catholics as of this past Easter. My daughter and I went through the RCIA classes and my husband was raised catholic. Me, my daughter and our son (four at the time) were baptized. We could be better catholics though and really need to go to church every weekend!!:D

I'm a Christian. I believe Jesus died for my sins and He is the only way to God and eternal life. Although I don't like to use the term "religion" because what people understand of that term is an imposed set of rules that one is obligated to follow. I do what I do, I live the way I live because I choose that and because I want to please Jesus because I love him. It's like when you are married, If you do stuff just because it's your obligation but you don't love your husband, it's not gonna last long, but if you do love him, you want to do things right and please him in anyway you can.
I serve at my church in the music ministry and also I teach kids in Sunday School.
I can't imagine my life any other way and sometimes I wonder how people that don't know Him can stay afloat in life.

i am catholic

raised catholic
 

I also study Kabballah I just love religion
