POLL: What do you believe?? Where DOES your spiritual allegiance lie?? Everyone has one!!

other = i prefer not to identify as a group, it's me and God and whoever else is out there

The Christ isn't the Hebrew messiah. He does not represent YHVH.

nothing says welcome to your home more than a dwarf in the hedges...

Jesus Christ is YHVH manifest in the flesh.
He created the universe. He is God Almighty.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made
that was made.

4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world,
and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become
the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man,
but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ.

Well, mission accomolished.

FOR ALL my Catholic brothers and sisters...

please forgive me if I have offended you....

that was not my intention at all.

I tried to change the poll....but it wouldn't let me...

so please forgive me! In no way am I saying that you are not Christian....

I was just trying to point out the different religions...

again, my apologies.

My spiritual alliance hmmmmm, I don't know, somewhere between cromag and neanderthal.

I have no "allegiance".

I like to mix and match from different sages. Buddha, Black Elk, the Christ, the Dalai Lama, Frank Zappa, William Blake, ICP, etc...

I Disagree, we are all sons of GOD, We have free will and will exist eternally.

My GOD does not judge, only guides/loves.

To connect with GOD you must go within.

My feelings on this.

Love and Gratitude

This^

We are way past this BS...only two sides now...positive or negative

Yes actuall. He is and He does.

As the Christ says;


"Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light."
(Mat 11:28-30)

When you know God, religion is not needed.

conan is that you

Other: deeply spiritual but not religious

Somewhat of a Taoist ...

Really, you know God?


Do any of you think you are religious? If you do not control your tongue, your religion is worthless and you deceive yourself. What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world.
(Jas 1:26-27)

I don't really understand why "Catholic" is always considered different from "Christian".

Do Catholics not have Christ at the center of their religion?

*Waits for people to argue that Catholics are not Christian because they secretly worship Mary or sacrifice goats to the Pope or something.*

Ah well, doesn't really matter to be anyway because I voted AGNOSTIC.

I'm happy to see there are many agnostics here. Atheists don't seem to realize their beliefs are as rooted in FAITH as the religious people they shun.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't prove it's there, and thinking you know it's there is not knowledge, but faith.

Likewise, I don't think any atheist has been around enough to make an educated guess about the non-existence of (a) divine being(s).

No one has enough information, or any information really, that even begins to suggest there is, or is not, some sort of divine being.

We won't know that 'til we die. Actually, we might not even know then, because even assuming there is a God/Goddess/Gods, there's no necessary connection between a divine being and humans having immortal souls, or any soul at all.

But of course that's all my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. :)

It's not even sides, more like ends of a spectrum.

^^this.

you're terribly mistaken, research other countries like india and china for sin stricken places, not to mention the unreasonable punishments in most muslim communities for non muslims and anyone who denounces their faith in said belief system.

america still has a large amount of good people compared to other countries you fool.

Two Gates


"Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it. "Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves.
(Mat 7:13-15)

I was raised Catholic and i must say that i have found really nothing in my life experience to go against what the Catholic Church teaches except that i find most of the information to be incomplete in the larger sense of things. I have therefore looked into much of what might be called "matters of the occult" sciences and have found that what David Flynn explains to make the most sense. Truth is always subject to larger interpretations from a greater perspective.

Not with the bible and not with Jesus

Ah-ha! A current/former Catholic! You are/were a Christian, right?

"I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life. I am telling you the truth: the time is coming---the time has already come---when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life. Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life. And he has given the Son the right to judge, because he is the Son of Man.
(Joh 5:24-27)

Okay, that was classy.
