everyone. serious question about religions. please no bible verses or rants.?

I started when I was 6 trying to understand the world from my perspective.

I was 12 before I even read the bible.

I search for something that would explain what I knew to be true.

In my 20’s a Pentecostal minister uncle had a talk with me about going to the old scriptures and reading, while understanding how the language was used.

From there I back track through the religions before, clear to the Chinese.

In my search for “THE ANSWER” I went though from the oldest (Chinese) to the youngest belief systems.

In all I found a thread of simplicity that it seems everyone misses.

I find the human loves to take simple and make it complicated.

Here is what I have boiled down to its simplest form.

Yahweh gave us a soul

Yahweh communicates to us through the soul.

Yahweh provided, through the soul, love and strength continuously.

Yahweh had given us the living word that resides in us.

Soul is love

Soul is strength

Soul is pure

Soul is eternal.

Through experience I know this.

The Love fills us and keeps us from wanting

The Strength allows us to over come our human desires and face the situation life gives us.

The belief system we chose should guide us to stay connected with our souls.

to answer your question directly:

1) Gnostic-to know ones innerself.

2) Many covering from Chinese beliefs forward.

3) as explained above, something to explain me.

4) what I stated above about the soul.

your welcome

1) I am wiccan

2) I do not have specific scripture that is used for my belief system but I do have a book of spells, rituals and remedies that I use in the practice of my spiritual beliefs.

3) I chose this path as it shows respect for all inhabitants of this earth regardless of sex, creed or color and it empowers you to create the life you want in harmony with the earth and its cycles. There is no judgement but you reap what you sow ...times 3 ! This belief system also focuses on the divine femine as well as the masculine which I believe creates a balanced view of divinity.

4) The main belief of wicca is to live in harmony with all things respect of the earth and celebration of the never ending spiral of life .

And harm ye none do what you will !

1- Christianity

2- The Bible

3- Mainly, the evidence that I see for Christianity being true. Truthfully, I want it to be true, but I would be willing to change my beliefs if I thought the evidence indicated Christianity wasn't true.

4- The Trinity; Jesus is God; God is uncreated; God created the world out of nothing; God did not create sin; Jesus was born, died, and physically rose from the dead; Jesus will return physically to judge the world; the Bible is the word of God.

1. The one and only true religion. Islam.

2. There have been many scriptures including the original Torah but currently only Qur'an

3. Allah.

4. There is only one creator of all that exists.

1) Christianity

2) The Holy Bible

3) Miracle of my own.

4) Help others. Love God and let him love you. Spread his word, but don't force it on people. Be a good kind person, even though no-ones perfect. Love that Jesus loved us so much he died to give us a chance to go to complete paradise with God.

Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,

who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God

has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being

understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in

their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Romans 1: 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful,

and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

1 Corinthians 6: 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters,

nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit

the kingdom of God

Oh wait you said no scriptures
