How many of you believe in God?

[Nick]

Hi Buffnewt,

This topic might be better served in our World Religions forum. There will probably be some responses there so I'll move it out of General Metaphysics. If you disagree, pm me and we'll discuss it.


Very best,

[Kuro Majin]

Well i belief in a force thats incredibly powerfull and its called God.
i belief in god but not in the rest,like all those poeple who was "sent" by god.altough it could be that they where realy sent by god.
And heres my theoris
1)God gaven us these bodies and its powers,so wy shouldent we be aloud we use it???
2)(i think this one is not real)Since god created everything satan should also have somthing to do with our creation.MAYBE satan and god has created the world together to keep the balance of good and evil in mankind.thus created god all good and satan all evil and between good and evil there was a power between. that was neutral(TK,psi,...).

"you shouldn't deal with fortune tellers and play with spirits and stuff. Cause it is actually tricks from satin"

Who knew fabric could be so deceptive?

[Tab]

You shouldn't deal with the church and play with God and stuff, cause it is actually tricks from man.

Yes the Bible says that in the old testament. I will research it. I think it refers more to mediums, and especially divining etc. If someone was caught devining with pendulums back then they would be stoned to death. The priests however used divining (they were considered to be clean through the sacrefice). The ummin and thummin was believed to be a sort of set of dice they rolled to find the will of God. It seems to indicate that any prophet had to show his "true colour" by his fruit before he was trusted. False prophets were a curse to Isreal back then and even today. Especially prophets who prophesy peace peace, when we are in the middle of a spiritual war. The negs are known for lying and pretending to be guides. This is why it is (for Christians ) very important and pivotal to test the Spirits. It is believed that a neg or a demon will not admit that Christ is come in the flesh. I have worked a lot of exorsisms and have talked to many negs, using a similar techik to the one Robert uses and it is very interesting to see the reply. This is also why Narrow Path Posed the question. Do you believe in the ressurection. A neg will often hem and haw and explain around the point but it can easily be pinned down by demanding an answer to this question  "well has he come in your body". However it is not something to take lightly as it often brings an explosion of temper and accusations are often hurled at you as well as physical attack and spiritual as well. When consulting a medium in my opinion,you should make sure you test the Spirit. Just my (Christian) 2 cents worth.

I used to believe in a god, but those days have ended.

I believe in god. My god is an insignificant grain of sand in a desert in africa. My god doesnt have any infinite powers. It can get in your shoe and annoy you. My god is great.

i dont beleive in god  as a seperate, independant  entity,  but a SOURCE  and i think  that  the different  "gods" allah/brahman/krishna  etc  of all the religions  are  just different  interpretations and  labels  of this  one  fundamental source.

to me,  consciousness is more  than freak chance.

it  would also  be arrogant  to think of  man as the highest form of life  in the universe, hence  we should  assume  there are higher states of being,  hence we should  assuem that the HIGHEST state of being  is  god/the source.

i  think the  yogis  have it right when they say  heaven  is  unity and oneness with  our  true nature,  not  some  literal place with golden arches etc  which  is probably a collective thought  construct on  the astral plane-  that is not god.

I just want to know if any of you believe in God

I beleive that Jehovah and Allah are the same miserable Neg who is attempting to spiritually shackle humankind. This Neg is known in some circles as Ialdaboath.

Not me. So far, that makes 5 people that don't believe in God as the Bible preaches him to be, and 0 that do. Mustardseed, James, Xander, Tab, and Beavis never specified.

[Tab]

You're kidding right, of course there's no personal man-deity that's also infinite. The infinite is the infinite, the deity is the deity, stop confusing them Christianity/Judaism/Islam.

Brahma is the only one true God. But of course only symbolically []

[kakkarot]

i believe in that God.

I'm not sure....theres many theories out there. one says he is Ialdaboath (sp), another says he's only the creation of peoples thoughts.

I believe that people beleive in him and that in itself is a phenomena that needs to be watched. I geuss in a way I do, afterall it's kind of hard to have this much hatred for something thats not real.

Yes I do believe in Him and His Son But maybe not exactly the way the Church teaches.

[Radha]

The Source can be known directly.  Not by intellect and words and "believing" and so on.  Source can be known directly.
If a person can't yet experience that, then the next best thing is some sort of control system that will more or less keep him "social" until his consciousness evolves to the point where direct knowing is possible.  Religions are that control system.
Man, if you think about it, has more or less always had two kinds of external control: political groups and religious groups.  Man has allowed these two to exert control over him to some degree.  Once a man stands naked before Source, I doubt if he will ever again partake in religions in the organized, intellectual, churchianity way.
Jesus wasn't the great exception.  He was the great example.  In the East, there is PriestHOOD.  They help you into the Light and then stand aside.  In the west their is priest CRAFT.  They stand between you and the Light and tell you only they can tell you what the Light is saying.  And there are people who follow these of the priestcraft.  I think these priest, and their synchophants deserve one another.

I believe in a god that is not supernatural, but an actual group of beings.

I believe gods mustn't be spirital.

[Beth]

Varner-LaPrade,

What do you think the nature of these beings is???

Peace,
Beth

[Tenacious]

I believe in A GOD, but not the one that christians are protraying.  They (some) take it way, way too seriously, it's actually kinda sickening.

Beth, they were once rulers of our civalizations of the past.
They were our creators.MAde in their image.
They gave us life.


Did I mention they are from the planet NIBIRU.

I am not an expert in the bible, but from what I know everything in the bible that talks about the future has come true so far.  It talks about something about the eye and hand.  Like when people will be tracked by their eyes and hand.  Well that too has happen/is happening. It says the average life span of humans is around 70 which is true. Talks about all the wars and stuff.  Plus other things.  I just think that although their is no proof of God, the bible is hard to not take seriously. So that is why I was wondering if any of you believed in God(holy bible God), because the bible is not something with false readings.

[Roshi]

Hi Buffnewt,
um....i don't believe in the bible although it may be true.
