I believe in God. I believe he (Jesus) is in me. I asked and I received. Now it's my responsibility to let his light shine to the world through me.
Jesus didn't force himself on anyone. People were naturally drawn to him, he didn't call anyone names or try to belittle them into following him.
We are to live our lives by following his example of love, even if we are to love our enemies.

I'm not ashamed, I'll never be ashamed. I don't believe though in trying to force my beliefs on people by calling them names or constantly throwing scripture at them.

WE are not forcing, we are telling, and for some reason that bothers everyone...but oh well to bad

Yes there is a God, one true God, he's a lot of fun! I've hung out with Him most of my life. He always shows up and surprises people just when they thought they could put Him in a box. He's got a book "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth," and if you don't read it on His level (the spiritual), you'll come up with all kinds of crazy notions.

Well thats good that it works for you..just like I'm glad that what works for me works for me and what works for others is right for them...no two ppl are alike so no two paths should be either and thats IMO as it should be..

I do not believe or not believe in a god. I don't think the idea of a god has much relevance in the day to day life of a member of the human species.
The god you are speaking of is a fiction created in the human mind to give comfort and a sense of some control over things that otherwise are treating and perceived as dangerous. This construct of god is a remnant of magic ritual.

How do you know for sure that she is not a fiction of your mind? Could your god exist without you thinking about her?

How do you know for sure that he is fiction? I believe god is real, he created me, and you and everthing that is today.

I believe in the Almighty God, the GOD of gods, the KING of kings, and the LORD of lords. The Alpha and the Omega, the Author and the Finisher of my faith. I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord! I serve and worship the Lord God Almighty with all my heart, my soul, my mind and my strength to bring glory and honor to His holy name through Christ Jesus and to set the captives free...God bless us all.

definitely a clever question!
I'm not actually sure if i believe in him or not to be honest, its such a hard question to answer because no-one knows really. Something i think about is how 'Adam and eve' were born, i know in the book it says out of soil and things, but that cant be true, its just all soo confusing really. Its like how was this world created, it can't have been God, its just soo confusing to me.

Yes adam and eve CAN have been created by dust, and yes, GOD DID create the world, you may not think so...but it;s all very possible! It even confuses me, i cant say how all this happened, but it is very possible.
Godbless

Yes I believe there is a God, but I can not put him in a box and say God is this or that, How can you define the creator of all that is?

I dont beleive in the Christian concept of god
I beleive that the Christian concept of God was created by men of power to keep their followers obedient
I think the concept of the Christian god was taken from the pagan beleifs and then twisted to suit those mens' needs
I beleive there is a divine energy but it has many names

I dont understand what the changing of times has to do with the fact that the Christian religion was created by man and the bible was written by men

My point is , is that it was written in a different time, when they did things different, like they sacrificed lambs then...and now people cant do that or we'd get arrested...
Gods rules back then if you commited a sin was to sacrifice a lamb, in order to repent for it...

I think that everyone who says it was made up doesnt understand that times have changed, but the things the bible says were for the old days, god understands since there are things we cant do that you could used to do in the old days.
