Belief, but in what or whom?

I do believe in God. But I don't believe much in religious stuff. Other than God I so much believe in my husband. He is the best husband, best decision maker, best in everything he does, and I believe in him for everything in our life.

I believe there is a Higher Power out there for me. I pray to him each morning and evening. I was raised a Catholic and got it jammed down my throat. SO now I call myself a Recovering Catholic not anything else. Hee hee! HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I am a believer, a Muslim. I am following the guidance of our creator - Almighty God. God had been revealing messages since the beginning of mankind through several prophets. The final edition of guidance is received through the final prophet Prophet Mohammad, Which is the user manual for human beings prepared by the creator of human beings. And the name of the manual is called 'Quran'. One only need to realize that Quran is the words of God, whoever learn Quran by reading from cover to cover, he can realize that it is not a human work done by an illiterate man 1400 year ago. May Almighty God guide us all to the right path. peace.

hi karen I also believe in God and in Jesus Christ, and that most people are inatelly kind. most people are more good than bad. I also believe in love and in prayer, Have a very MERRY cHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEARhugs from hatley.

Hi Karen! ^_^ I'm so glad you opened this discussion. It's good to know others who have the same beliefs as you do. I also believe in God, the Creator of all things. I also believe that He is the Author of our lives and everything around us. But I also believe He gave us free will. So i believe that our lives has already been predesigned way before we were born yet we have the free will to change it. God always has the best plans for us yet we tend to live our lives our way. So it's very important to live our lives His way since He designed it. I believe that God created us so that He can pour His unconditional love to us, for indeed, He IS Love. :) I also believe that faith is something very important. and we need this in order to please God. Faith is believing in things that are not tangible as if they were. :) so keep the faith Karen and continue with your daily prayer. ^_^ I pray for the best for you! Be blessed!

Karen I think this is a wonderful topic. I think one should be free to express their religious beliefs. I believe that we would have less religious intolerance if we discussed these sort of things more. For myself, I have gone through many different beliefs. I was raised as Christian Word of Faith/Pentecostal. But when in my late teens I studied more and I became a Messianic Christian. Then I began to really study religion a lot, the Bible, the Koran, secular and religious history. After years of that I stopped believing in Jesus and left the Messianic's and am now Jewish in my beliefs. The Hebrew Bible (what Christians call the Old Testament) is what I consider scripture. In short, I believe in the God of the Hebrew Bible (Yehovah aka Jehovah) who I believe is the creator of all things, and that He is incorporeal and should not be depicted. I do believe in the after-life and also in angels. Some of the greatest commandments the creator gave was to love Him with all of our heart & soul, to love our neighbor as ourself, to love the stranger, to help those in need: the poor, orphans, widows, the sick, and even to help those who hate us when they are hurt or in need of help. So yes I also believe in love. :) My ultimate goal spiritually is to be at peace with God, at peace with myself, and with all people. If anyone wants to talk or know more about the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity or Islam) feel free to send me a message. Cheers, InfoSurge

Good morning Karen. I think u & i think about alike on most things. I think u are nicer thn i am but we both make it & that's a blessing for us both. hugs, jo

I believe in all teh things you mentioned :There is a God and he still directs mater .I believe there is evil too and Satan ,many people dont believe in him and taht is wher they go wrong.I believe that true love exists but I think few people will find it and I believe that my mother and sister loves me.Oh and I believe in honesty

i think that i only believe myself,i find that i met many difficultis and failure,nobody can really help me to get rid of it.so i often think about ways to deal with it.sometimes i could not deal with it,i would select to avoid to it,but whatever i do,the only way i should deal with it depending myself and learn to face all of thing and learn to be strong in spirit.so i think that believing myself can overcome all of difficulties.

I first and foremost believe in God. That belief has been instilled in my throughout my life and I've experienced things that I come to believe as miracles throughout my life. I also belief that the nature of people is good for the most part though there are some people who are misguided and do things that shouldn't be done. I believe that everything that happens to us in our lives happens for a reason.

well i belive in both three things you have mentioned earlier that is God,myself and also in fate...but with the changing time my dependence also changes..but my believe in god and myself never changes..but sometimes also i have to believe in my fate which is most of the time not seem to be in favor of me

I believe in all of the above, but the reason I believe in myself and fate is because of my belief in God (Jehovah not Allah). I study the bible and has read it several times in its entirety. I have also read the Koran, the teachings of Buhdda, Confucius and many of the great theorist like Fraud , Darwin and the acient Mayans. Yet, I still believe in the intelligent design principle simply because it makes more since to me than anything else.

i think i believe in myself more.i don't believe in God that don't mean the God don't exist,just because i don't want to put my life on the hands which doesn't belong to me.but if God really exist,i will be thankful that you give me the rare chance to realize the universe.ant that's all,no matter what my life will be,painful or happifull,successful or unsuccessful,that's my business and my life.

I believe in a supreme power, though i do not like religion. Why? because religion brings turmoil, war, and separates people by creating factions that discriminate those who do not believe/join them. Yes, private institutions like the church has brought many many benefits specially to the poor and the needy but they did a lot of, i mean a LOT of things which violated mankind (the burnings, the excommunication, the crusades and a lot more.) ok religious rant ended. what else do i believe in? I believe in the power of the human mind. I do not believe in destiny, i believe in CHOICE. I believe that acts are greater than words and i believe that there is no such thing as impossible.

I believe in God, and by believing God, it reminds me that there is nothing as powerful as the power of God and that power is nothing but infinite love, and it's unconditional. But always bowing in front of the Supreme Absolute, it reminds me that I must reduce my ego, I must lower my head, and make myself more and more humble, because I am nothing compared to the supreme love which is all powerful and encompassing..... It's important to bow to this Creator who created me, so my ego and arrogance and pride never takes control over me.

I believe in the supreme power/cosmic energy/God whatever you call it. I believe in love. I believe in hard work. I believe in ME. I believe those who believe me.

I believe in the energy of life and in the fact that it constantly changes. I believe in the attraction of like to like and that as long as I put out positive energy I will receive it. I believe that our entire world is but one of many where the life force is manifesting to encounter the experiences in this particular world. I believe that each of us has the power to influence this experience. And that we each choose according to our needs.

Yes me too believe in God, Then I believe in my soulmate, Then I believe in myself. Since I said I believe in my soulmate next to God, I believe in Love, I Love God, To me: Love is God and God is Love.

I have been looking at some of this type of thing for the new year to come because im wanting to be more emotionally and physically healthy. I think over the years ive lost some of the sense of who i really am. I do believe in god. I do believe things happen for a reason. But it seems like theres more missing to the picture, such as a real life energy that helps in directing our paths. Good thought provoking topic.
