"What do you believe?"

What i believe!

i don't believe in Heaven!  i do believe in reincarnation!  (Rebirth of the soul in another body.)

i believe that everyone is part of the spiritual composition/soul of God.  The purpose of everyone is to go forth into the earth plane and other planes to "experience" and to ultimately gravitate back into the Oneness of God.

Along their paths of experience/knowledge acquisition, many entities (the spiritual particles of God) choose to enter (incarnate/reincarnate) the earth plane with various goals as purpose.

When the entity's physical body dies the entity goes back to a state or plane of existence where it considers its immediate past.  It judges whether it accomplished those goals that it set out to accomplish and determines in which plane and under what circumstances it may need to incarnate in order to accomplish additional goals on its way back to the Oneness of God.

Essentially, the entity is its own judge as to accomplishments, failures, goals and the circumstances under which it chooses to incarnate.

The above is my opinion and is expounded upon in my treatise A Search For Truth:

mrankens,

Although I worship at a pentacostal church, I am of no religion. I think that religion separates the children of God. We should trust God and not get caught up in religious titles. My bible tells me that we are the church, not the buildings we worship in. 

My belief is in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus came to earth in the form of man. He was the only begotten of the father. He died in my place on the cross. He bled, suffered and died on the hills of calvary for a sinner such as myself, so that I would not have to pay the terrible price for my sins. I believe that he rose on the 3rd day morning and is now seated on the right hand of the father. I believe when I accepted him as my Lord and savior, he gave me a right to the tree of life, which is in heaven.  I believe that one day I will walk the streets of glory and there live with him forever, giving him praise and glory for saving me from an eternal lifetime of damnation.

Worthy is the lamb that was slain!

Be blessed.  

I have no religious beliefes. I'm a militant agnostic. I don't know, and niether do you

Jesus Christ said that He was the Son of God [Jn 10:36...], this did not any of the others.  Jesus Christ said that He was God [Jn 10:30, Jn 1:1, Jn 14:9-11, 1st Tim 3:16...], this did not any of the others.  Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of others [Gal 1:3-4...], this the others do not claim.  Jesus Christ resurrected on the third day [Acts 10:38-41...], this no other has done nor is it claimed that they have.  No., the others are not the same as Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 

This brings us to the favorite 'catch phrase' of those following their false gods.  They say that there is only one God, this is true, but here is where satan's 5% lie comes into play.  For instance, the Muslims say that Allah is one god thus he is the one God.  Many are fooled into believing that Allah is just the Muslims name for the Lord God of Judaism and Christianity.  Not so!

Allah did not have a Son named Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, crucified for the sins of the world, resurrected on the third day, and now seated at the right hand of God.  So if their god did not do what The God did, then who is their god?  Answer: Satan in disguise!
