Hi,
I have been pondering much about life and after-life a lot lately and I am not sure why.
my question is, What religion OR what would I be classified as if I have doubts about god but believe in after life here on earth?
I know I am not an atheiest, I guess I'm just lost...I want to believe but a part of me just can't find it to be serious.
It is good that you are seeking the truth... you are on the right path, and If you continue, I believe that you will get where you need to go.. God is spirit, and he draws us unto him self, he desires to have a real working relationship with us, to have fellowship, and communion with his earth family. Jesus did not come to start a religion, and relationship often gets lost in ritual. God is real... his spirit is real... his truth is real... and ever lasting. If you seek him with all your heart, you will find him...his ways are pure and just and holy, he can be trusted, so can his word. He cares about you... and what happens to you, what you believe and where you are going with that belief, he has a plan for your life, he will be there for you. And when you come to his word, to learn, you have to come in an attitude of faith, if not, you will never unlock the truths that are in his word, they are spirit and they are life, and they are available to any who seek him with an open heart.. He does not have to prove himself to anyone... He is God... we humble ourselves and come to him.. he accepts us... into his family... He bought us back from sin, with his own blood, but, we have to accept it, and learn how to walk in it... It is a journey... a very worthwhile journey... Blessings...
see that is where my confusion comes in, people say accept the lord and you will be forgiven...reject him and go to hell? that seems idiotic in my opinion...
i have a thought about heaven and hell, here it is:
Do good on earth and be accepted without any doubts, do bad on earth and stay there til' you are forgiven...i believe in ghosts and spirits and all that jazz, what IF they are just souls that still need to be forgiven...what if HELL is earth and you will spend your time here witnessing every bad act being performed and you as a spirit cannot do anything but watch? take this into mind: If you were a spirit in the after-life who was told to spend time on earth"hell" until you are forgiven...what if you had unlimited traveling abilities, you could move about the planet in seconds going from place to place, you would see extremely horrible things happening, you would here horrid ideas and plots...you would feel it as torture not being able to do anything about these actions right? you would cry,yell,and scream in agony while you watch a cruel act being taken place, what if this is hell and humans are the demons...we are the torture for the after-life. what if?
PROMISES TO KEEP
My eyes stay through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. Psalm 119:148
Your promises revives me; it conforms me in all my troubles. Psalm 119:50
God, I will focus my eyes on your faithfulness rather than oon my own failures. I will look to you to help me fulfill the promise of all that my life can be. Amen.
The Bible, God's word is clear - the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ - one must be saved (have their sins forgiven / covered by the blood of the cross) - each person must decide for themselves to either accept or reject Jesus as Lord and Savior - it determines where they spend eternity - God's Love comes in, in that He made a WAY for man (Jesus) - He certainly didn't have to...I hope this helps clarify...Take care !!
I would like to tell you that u should try "Buddhist". It says that if you do good things in this life, you will accept good in this life or the next life. but if you do bad or cruel things, you will accept them as well. You should find out more about "Buddhist".
I believe that how we act in this life dicates to where we go on in the next and we'll keep on coming back untill we get it right and finally go on to a higher better place. I'd say i was spiritual and do beleive that there is someone watching over us.
ok this is wat i think about religion, there are over 10,000 religions in the world, one of use is going to be wrong, so i believe and go for what ever god really exists even though i dont know his name it still counts if i believe in him. hope i helped
Agnostic = somebody who believes (has faith) but not sure in exactly what higher power, etc, and doesn't follow a specific religion.
You can believe in something without having to subscribe to any religion, you know.
