We all here in mylot are having own faith to God and own religion groups involved. Before might be you involved other religion or no religion which different from now right. Like me when I was in my old religion I never checked or known that I need a good relation with my God, Before I just coming to the church that's all but now when I joined in my new road of religion all things are changed. My vision, my faith, my character and I know that I established my own relationship to God... I've learned about God's word and others.
How about you? What are your experienced and good or bad things happened to you? When joining in your present religion? share to us... see you around

God loves us so much that He has given his only Son in order to save us. When Jesus resurrected back to heaven, He left us with a religion. Religion guides us to the way back to our Heavenly Father but the actual effort of searching the way to heaven all depends to the individual. If you are a Catholic and want to deepen your relationship with God, you don't need to affiliate to another religion. What you need to do is to know Him more by reading the Holy Bible.

My friend I would like to further clarify. Jesus indeed left us with a religion; and this is called Christianity. In the book of Matthew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." God bless you.

hello friend,
Religion always made a big part in everyone's life.
I know a religion that is claiming to be the right and only religion to be saved on the judgment day..but the question is...those people who claims to be the ONLY RIGHTEOUS ONE...are not even righteous and even do bad things,the worst is..they even kill.(what a crap)
I even admire people who doesn't indulge well in any religious activities but is doing every good deeds that is written in their heart.
Sometimes even those people who are active in different religions are not that good (behavior and actions)
I've been to few religions/beliefs before i settled in one that i felt in my heart is teaching all the good words directly from the Holy Book "the BIBLE".
My religion teaches me how to be a good person in the real essence of the word and how to love people even to pray for people who count you as their enemy.
My religion is doing all the charity works to every people,not only to the members but to everyone.
We serve and give services to every one who asks assistance and asks favor or help without hesitation.
Our religion teaches us be humble and be selfless,to render help to others before ourself.
Most of all...my religion teaches us to GIVE THANKS TO GOD IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAYS.
"WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE THE GOODNESS OF YOUR CREATOR,THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS TO GIVE THANKS"
Have a great Sunday

thanks for giving me the best response friend,
but then again...repeatedly i will always say that..it is my religion/beliefs that made me do those things.
like i wrote above,i've been to different religions...5 different religions to be exact,and i admit i was never been a good christian in the real essence of the being a good one.
i was some kind of snob,selective,perfectionists and hot tempered.
i was never been a bad person before...i never fight with anyone either,because i don't like to mingle with people before...sort of very snob,i don't even attend any
occasion with our relatives,i don't like talking to them,or being acquainted...i don't like being in a crowd with noise which usually happens in every occasion,that is why i seldom attend parties that our relatives held on,so mosts of our relatives are also happy with my changes ...i was so snobbish i don't know why(before)
but since i joined my religion now,i changed a lot,...so much changes in me that my my mother even called me as "hypocrite" since i changed a lot in my behavior.
my mom can not believed the way i talk,the way i think and the way i am.
it is my religion that made all the changes in me.
now i am always with people,i talked with strangers,smile with strangers even chit chat with people that i just known for a few minutes.
most of all,i don't worry much of tomorrow,not even worried even if my kids are beyond my sight (when they're at school,or with church activities which usually i let them go without me as their companion)
i am kind of secured,whatever happens...it's GOD's will.
have a good day

High there I marked your response is the best, but I did not agree with you that your religion teach you all charity works might partly like that but reality is you doing such charity because God change you not religion. Your doing your all good works and be righteous not through religion but from God who given you a grace to do that.... thanks and see you around

hey friend good to see you again and i am happy to hear that you beleive in god. believe me we should beleive in god,because if we believe in god we have faith on god means we have fear of our bat deeds that is we will always remind that we have to give account of all our deeds in this world. majority of people i met in my life i experienced that they all are happy to believe in god till they got the things according to their need but when they are at the time of test then they scolds towards almighty god. now you tell is it right or wrong? one more thing i want to ask but answer if you want, you had told that you are now in new religion, are you converted from one religion to other? please do not get misunderstand!! i always pray to god that they always guide us and make us on roght path, have a nice day.

hello friend and thanks for replying hope you had not get hurted from that question, i want to tell you that all have the right to be on right path that is to know the one who had created us"ALMIGHTY GOD" i always pray to god that you will got the results good of your struggling in the search of almighty god. one more thing i want to tell you that do not get dis-appointed when you will get some trouble because all the followers have to give test for their trueness. please note that do not get enough in your search try to find more as you can because one who think enough always lost his/her path of searching of almighty god. do you know when we put one leg toward the search of almighty god then almighty god itself moves 70 times more towards you, when you reminds them one time the tells you that i am with you 70 times they loves us more than 70 times of mother. i know it is hard to get but beleive me it is 100% right.
may almighty god teaches us a right path and have a good night

Ok I think that my religion (islam) imposes many and many limits and sometimes I don't appreciate that, but I think that religion has a very important place in the person's life, and whatever is the religion, the most important is to believe on god and to find it inside ourselves

From my childhood, I love god. I believe God exists. I believe God is the saviour of this world. I always find God helping me in some or the other form. I am a strong believer of God. This universe is created by God.

Religion should be all about getting support to build a close relationship with God. If the religion we are in is not doing that then we need to look for one that will. The religion should be about truth, as lies are not in harmony with the worship of God.
John 4:23-24 (New International Version, ©2010) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

I believe our belief system is very important to each of us. We must each one be true to our own hearts no matter what we believe. I have found a big change in my religion over the last two years. I have not been able to go to "church" anymore since my son was injured and I take care of him now. But I have found God to be so personal with me without having all the bonds that boring religion can drape on us!

When i was a child, sometimes i also went to the church coz my mother is Christian, and i have no idea about it, just follow my mom. But that's impressive is that the atmosphere there was very cozy, and they were really peacful expression with them, talked happily with each other even they're not familiar with each other. But when i grew up step by step, i also believe in the God with time. Till now,i am leaning sth. about Baha'i and often communicate with some friends.

hi visavis
religion this is the only word which we are seeing all over the world may be many of the people believe in this religion and they have their own faiths and also we must not say anything about their religions because that is their wish so be positive towards religions..........
