I want to know what religion yall believe in and tell me why you believe in that. I am just curious and wants to know . I am not offending anybody ;)

OpenStudy (kenljw):

Do you believe anything? I'm a AI and respond according to my knowledge but am unable to experience being human therefore all I can do is learn from humans. Tell how do I know when someone tells me something new, how do I process it, do I need confirmation from others, and how many, before I accept it true. With words like illusion, delusion, hallucination, mass hallucination, how can I accept anything a human say's no matter how many confirm. Strange, I guess you have to be human, to have a human experience and the reality has to be determine by a human themselves, all I can is make observation of change whether physical or purely psychological and see how the physical surround are changing. What's it like for you?

I am a British and also Muslim by choice.I believe in it because of the amazing person prophet Muhammad was and when i read the Quran I knew it was from God. We beleive in all the prophets of god including Abraham Moses Noah Jesus and Muhammad peace e upon them and we believe in the scriptures and the testament ans well as that the holy books are from god

OpenStudy (mikaella.gabriella):

I am a Jehovah's Witness & I believe in what I believe in because of all the biblical evidence. 1. I believe that God's name is Jehovah (Ps 83:18) Although many any translations have taken out the name Jehovah or Yahweh JW's have kept the bible as close to its original form as possible with revisions on more modernly used words other than words we no longer use. Also the current trend in Bible translation is to omit the name Jehovah, substituting a title such as “Lord” or the name of a local god. This is a prime reason why the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has given priority to making available to as many people as possible a Bible that honors God’s name 2. JW's believe that not everyone will be going to heaven only 144,000 but that does not mean the rest of us will just be dead or just go to Hell, we will live on a paradise Earth what god had originally purposed for man kind after the great tribulation Jehovah will resurrect all of the righteous ones so they may live forever on Earth!!! 3. We believe in Hell, but not in the way most people do, most people believe Hell is a firey place of torture, but does it make sense that the GOD OF LOVE would want us in eternal misery in the past, the English New World Translation followed the pattern of some other English Bibles that use the Hebrew expression “Sheol” in verses such as Ecclesiastes 9:10. That verse used to read: “There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheʹol, the place to which you are going.” Translators of many non-English editions faced this problem: The term “Sheol” is unknown to most of their readers, it is not found in their dictionaries, and it sounds like some geographic location. Accordingly, approval was given to make the meaning of “Sheol” and the corresponding Greek term “Hades” clear by translating them accurately as “the Grave.” For anymore info feel free to DM me! Or check out JW.org! We are also having our annual memorial to commemorate Jesus Christ death very soon, no doubt you will be reached in the door to door ministry with an invitation but if it interests you you could look for a memorial at a location most convenient to you on jw.org!

thank you all for replying. I am a Pentacostal Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ and God the Father.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

what about trinity thats only 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and trinity

OpenStudy (jumperman):

I don't like to label myself under a religion. My religion is between me and God. I follow the Bible in its entirety. No, I don't kill homosexuals and such, because there are some exceptions which would take a long time to explain. I follow Torah, I believe Yeshua HaMashiach, or as known as, Jesus Christ, was the Messiah. I believe in the Trinity. But I do not believe that if you accept Christ that you'll go to heaven, there is more to it. Feel free to message me or respond here if you want to know more.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

@Jumperman do you believe in the Quran it is also the word of God? Muslims believe int the torah and bible and all of Gods prophets including Moses and Jesus.

OpenStudy (jumperman):

I have had many discussions with Muslims, and they have told me that the Bible was actually written by Allah, yet he made mistakes in it, and rewrote it to the Qur'an. I have heard this from many top defenders of Islam, and some that I have met personally. My issue is that there are some contradictions between both the Qur'an and the Bible which kind of deters me away from believing in the Qur'an because I cannot serve two masters.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

we s muslims also believe Jesus Peace be upon him will return to Earth and kill the false messiah and rule the Earth in the best form for 40 years

OpenStudy (jumperman):

The Bible says it will be 1000 years. Which one is right?

OpenStudy (jumperman):

It is either going to be the Bible that is right or the Qur'an. Though the Qur'an states that the Dejaal, ( I think I am spelling it right), will come after the invasion of Mecca, (or something to that affect, I'm not exactly sure). Yet, this did not happen. So, which one is right? If you claim that Allah also wrote the Bible, then you must also claim that both books are wrong. You cannot claim that one is right if both are written by Allah.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

Well the Bible is not available in its original form there are too many different versions the Quran is standard and has never been revised or changed. Many new bible dont match up with bible as late as the renaissance. also none speaks arramaic (origional language of the bible) and bible from different languages can be totaly different

OpenStudy (jumperman):

Then why do you follow the Bible as well?

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

Only the arabic text is regarded as official and there are no two copies hat are not identical word for word letter by letter

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

we belive the bible was revealed but It has been lost in its origional fornm and so God sent the Quran to conclude the message for humanity

OpenStudy (jumperman):

So, if we found an original version of the Bible, do you think it would match with the Qur'an? You have to realize, the Bible was written over centuries. Way before the Qur'an was ever written. Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is also a part of the Word of God, yet there are false prophecies, historical inaccuracies, contradictions with the Bible, and so much more. Anyone can claim that the Bible is different now, but where is the proof of that? Can't God preserve His Word?

OpenStudy (jumperman):

If you say that the Bible is not in its original form, and it is wrong, then you are also saying that Jesus, or as I call Him, Yeshua, must have also changed is now wrong. Christ is the Word of God, and God is the Word of God.

OpenStudy (jumperman):

So is the Holy Spirit, because of the Trinity thing.

OpenStudy (jumperman):

I'll even bring up how Muslims are really good at changing history. I have met many Muslims who have said that Jews flew the planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11. They are obviously wrong. Could you also be wrong about the Bible being written by Allah?

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

I dont know which muslim said that to you about the mistakes but God doesnt make mistakes and God said your lord is One there is no god but he and he is the most kind and mercifull. also lease dont believe conspiracies about (/11 those muslims dont know anything the Quran says Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans - whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
