THE BELIEFS OF SDQA BY SDQA

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Ask Jesus : One Thread

because some people were intrested about my beliefs about the bible and jesus...etc, i decided to make this post

about my personal beliefs:

i'm chinese,i was born in europe,lived all my life there and raised christian

first of all i don't believe in the concept of sin and therefore also not in jesus as the saviour of mankind and the son of god

everyone of us 'sins',but i don't think that that makes us evil,i don't think we were supposed to be perfect,everybody makes mistakes,sometimes intentionally,sometimes not,but i don't think that mistakes make someone bad unless you really choose that way through life and don't care about other people and just do everything what you want,no matter if it's harmfull to others or not

the christian beliefs are that we have to believe in jesus and keep his commands to be saved,so if there was no jesus,every one of us will burn in hell,no matter how good we were,we surely did at least something wrong in our life and for our inperfectness burn in hell,this makes no sense to me

further,there are many things defined as sin in the bible,but where i don't see what's wrong with it

all normal people know the basic differences between right and wrong,it's an archetype that we all have,some things in life can supress that and bring up new rules that are against the natural human distinction between right and wrong(like for example the army who are being taught that killing is the right thing to do and that you are defending your country that way while war should be the very last option for which our leaders should decide for and while most of the times wars get started when we don't need one or when we even aren't being attacked by anyone like the wars in iraq or vietnam or like for example the catholic priests who are being taught that it's wrong to get married while having the function of a priest)

so sin and morale are actually two different things

and the main reason why i don't believe is that i can't just believe some letters on a paper,i don't understand how someone could expect something like that from us in this world of lies and manipulations i also don't see a reason why i should believe that jesus was god's son etc...i just don't think that way and i don't see anything bad in it there are many things in the bible that don't make much sense to me and really don't seem to come from a loving father

and the bible was also put together by the RCC(who i fully distrust)so i don't believe any of the miraculous things in the bible

i agree with many of jesus's teachings and he's been for sure one of the biggest inspirations in my life,but i have more of a gnostic vision on him instead of the traditional way christians see him

many christians just keep the commands because they're scared of hell and only see some sinful things defined by the bible as sinfull only because the bible and the church tells them so,they focus on the details and forget the real thing,the real essence of his teachings was not to put them in the center of your life but to show you the way to real life,here on earth now and after this life

so i'm not religious nor i see religion as something positive(i said religion!...not faith)but i do believe in god in a certain way,i believe that there is something more than just this life,this world and these things we have here today;i don't know why,maybe because i have some personal experiences with it,maybe just because i feel a need for an eternal shelter and can't imagine that everything ends with this life

For me, it was a matter of instantaneously experiencing Jesus through His Word. In the twinkling of an eye, I was made new--born again by His Word, when I least expected it.

All of a sudden, while in the Scriptures at a friend's church--those words just reached out and gripped my attention. I knew in that moment that God was speaking directly to me. I knew that these words were no ordinary words. The message was so powerful and all at once, I changed.

I decided that I should start reading the Bible--to which my husband responded by giving me a great big belly laugh!

After only a few weeks of returning to this church, Bible in tow--I found myself accepting Christ's forgiveness and I remember crying with the certainty that I have met with God.

Since that time, I can't get enough of the Scriptures--and God reveals new things to me every day. I have a peace in my soul that I never had before. I went from being a girl who believed evolution is true and a woman has every right to kill her unborn baby--to an girl with a Christian world-view that says evolution is a lie and abortion is wrong. I am talking about an overnight complete turn around!

The Word of God has the power to convict even the hardest of hearts-- and I experienced this first-hand. That is why I believe. No one proved anything to me--and I could search forever and find nothing but "he says" and "she says' and I could argue facts and figures and history all day long. It wouldn't matter.

No one could take this away from me. I understand what God is revealing and I have a pretty good picture of His full plan and purpose through His Word to us-- and I can even see my small part in all of it. And my answer is *yes* Lord--*Yes!*
