Do you really believe? Or do you just "believe" for peace of mind?

faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations.... i'm sorry i did not know who wrote that, i read it from somewhere,, and that best describe how i feel about GOD...

I believe there is something but I don't think we are open minded enough to comprehend and I think very few people have learnt how to have an open mind enough to see what there is, maybe we are not really meant to know until how time comes, but I don't necessarily believe in a holy book as there seems to be so many of them only one can be the truth so I think it is best to live a good life, listen to our inner voice as I think that is something else we don't understand and then wait til our time comes.

I really believe in God & I trust him with my mind, body and spirit.

I believe because I felt it in my heart for a yearning towards my Creator. I just can't subscribe to the idea that all the things that I see and the universe out there in space is just one cosmic coincidence. Big bang? i don't think so. All of this stuff are just theories and "a bunch of maybe". We could not be just an accident of the universe. The earth and all its inhabitants have a variety of genetic make-up that is so complex and yet lived on only one planet that could sustain us all. The universe is a well thought of masterpiece that is surely not an accident of cosmic proportion.

I absolutely believe in A Source or Higher Being. Everywhere we look there are creations within a Divinely ordered universe...creations ususally have a Creator. My spiritual views are energy-based and I do not subscribe to any particular Religious doctrine. I have throughout my whole life quested for common threads of truth that apply to all people...regardless of their race, creed, gender or religious affiliations. I cannot subscribe to any teaching that promotes a belief that the very Being who created us and gave us free choice will condemn anyone to a life of hell because they exercise their right of will. Within my Source-centered faith I believe in the power of love and view life as the ultimate gift of love from the One who provides it. I think we are here as sparks from Source and are spiritual beings going through human experiences. As energy beings we have eternal life because energy can never be destroyed. Within my understanding of our purpose we were given the right to choose so we can experience ourselves and each other. We learn through our errors in judgment..but each lesson is never a failure if we learn from it. The Creator I know and love does not judge us...because of an unconditional capacity to love and understand...and as we become more enlightened we become more able to know God and express those attributes in our daily life. Whether people believe this life and the afterlife is the only one...or whether they believe in soul path development through the various lifetimes during reincarnation. We are inarguably energy beings. I truly believe we all live on beyond our brief physical life on this plane. I have questioned the way you have at different points in my life. As I questioned I have been given answers that confirm my beliefs. But you know what nikkiwith...even if none of what I believe is true...when I leave and there isn't anything more I won't know anyway. For now I am fullfilled and happy to continue exploring the cause and effect of my choices and following a spiritual path that continues to confirm that as energy-based beings we are so much more expansive than most religions teach.
