What ever your faith is, how did you decide that is what you believe?

I changed my faith to Hinduism from what I was brought up with, after YEARS of studying all I could about various religions, the Bible, and other Scriptures, ancient and world history, archaeology, etc.  I also "studied" myself.  I prayed a lot and came to understood that Hinduism is the religion of my soul, the religion I was when I was a child, before I was told what to believe.

Have faith. Pray. You will know.

Spiritual atheism.   I progressed to that point, and this makes the most sense to me.   I choose what I believe in and fit my beliefs into one big puzzle that fits.  :-)

i think you are onto something there.\nthe best rule is to just put your trust in yourself and your own faith, and go with that.

Faith is having a strong belief which you cannot absolutely prove (ie: I have faith Elvis is really alive)\n\nDestiny is the faith that the future is preordained and that things "are meant to be". \n\nBelieving in God is synonomous with having Faith in God.\n\nCommonly, people believe that God is the one who controls Destiny.

I believe in God by reason and revelation. Reason: this world is so perfectly balanced it could not be an accident. Can you look at a beautiful sculpture and say it happened by accident? No, someone created it! Revelation: the Bible!\nAnd yes I attend Mass at a Catholic church often. I would definitely call myself Christian.

A statement of Faith is simply a statement of those Christian tenets that you hold dear and live by;\nFor Instance;\nWe believe in the Son of God Jesus Christ\nWe believe in the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob.\nWe believe the Bible, as we have it today, is the inspired Word of God.\nWe believe in the Forgiveness of Sin\nWe believe in A risen Savior, Jesus Christ.\n\nand so forth.\nHope that helps.

I believe in G-d.\n\nNo one can tell you why you should believe. Just do what G-d says, what He commands, later you will find out why.\n\n\nBut I believe in G-d because He told us to.

Consider it a blessing. it's easy to have faith and believe in something when no one disagrees with you or makes it uncomfortable to do so. now you can say you have faced adversity and STILL went to church and still upheld your belief. it's not the same as risking being fed to the lions, but hopefully you get the point, sometimes you have to stand up for your beliefs with more than words. have courage.

Faith!  To have total faith that Gods will is what is right.  And, to accept his decisions...whatever they may be.  Knowing that He knows best.  \n\nLove!  Love others.  Love yourself.  Love God, above all.  And, no....I'm not a bible banger.  lol\n\nJust passing on what I have learned.  When I learned to accept the things in my life that happened....good or bad...and to realize that those things were His will....that they had a purpose in my life....I was much happier.\n\nFighting against what is meant to be, is so futile.  And, believe me....God is the one in control.  Yes, we can make some decisions...are are expected to use our brains and logic.  \n\nBut, when I lost my Dad to cancer....I learned who is really in control.  \n\nA lot of what makes us happy, is in how WE CHOOSE to look at a situation.

You still have the freedom to choose to believe in God or not.\n\nAnd if you believe in God, how you want to practice your faith.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Did you ever lose your faith?

What makes you think that you are right? Doesn't the person who believes in another religion or none at all have the same proof or deep beliefs in their faith?  What makes you think that they aren't all the same or that your way is the only right way?

We have faith, but also truth, the Bible, and the words of Jesus.\nThe authority of the Pope: Matthew 16:18-19\nPriests forgiving sins: John 20:21-23

Well Bush, your beliefs are up to you. What exactly do you want to know? It seems like your question is "What should I believe in?", and no one can decide that for you.

I don't think there is any point where you can just *decide* to believe.  At least, I never found a way too.  Instead, I researched different religions, and tried to determine which ones would have positive effects on me.  Once I found a few that I thought might work, I put them into practice. When nothing clicked, I moved on to another.   After going through this several times, I realized that I DID have firm religious beliefs, but they didn't come from any one religion.  Mine come from Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Wicca, to name a few.\n\nI think calling mine a "path" is very accurate, because I am constantly searching for Truth, and I will follow it wherever it leads me.
