Yes.  I believe in God.  I believe His son is my savior.  I believe that this job would be so hard to do with HIm and a belief in HIm.


Take a walk outside and look at the beauty of His creation.  Hold a child in your arms and look at the beauty of His creation.  Watch His sun rise up over His creation. Sit and read His word.


In todays world believing in HIm is not the popular thing to do and it never has been.  He is belittled and taken oput of everything that was designed to give HIm glory.  He knew it would happen.  Why the bad stuff in this world of HIs occurs is not ours to decide.  He has plans greater than ours.


Praying fou you in your search for the answer.

Sometimes with what we deal with,you just have to wonder.

Many people struggle with belief in God.  There are many questions and objections to holding such a belief.  I would highly reccomend the book "The case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.  He was a reporter and an atheist and investigated the claims of Christianity from that point of view.  The book (there's also a video by the same name) should help answer some questions for you, and perhaps pose some new ones.  Belief in God most often comes from a journey of research and discovery rather than a lightning-strike moment of conversion. 


I personally am firmly convinced that there is a God and that belief can not be shaken, but you should not take my word for it.  Over the years I have discovered many resources for those with critical thinking skills that want something more than blind faith.  PM me if you wish further discussion.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you seek the truth.

WHOAH!


Apply a little sarcasm and the fur flies.


I feel religion to be as personal as my politics. Yes, I am devout about both. But they are mine.

I believe in the Christian God, and of his son, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.  Having said that, I think religion too often gets in the way of Christianity.

I believe in a higher power. I don't say "God" because I don't believe that there is just one being controling everything but I do believe there is a higher power that created everything and does hear us and does sometimes intervien in our lives.

I originally posted a tongue-in-cheek sarcastic answer that could be taken ambigiuosly. So I think I need to apologize and post sincerely.


Yes I do. I served in S.E. Asia and been in LE for 35 years. I probably have said the lords prayer, Hail Mary, every Psalm there is about a million times now. In LE, walking up to that vehicle stop at o'dark thirty with tinted windows and you run through your training for 2 seconds as your walking, the next 2 seconds are reciting everyhthing I can think of.

 I believe in the Lord almighty, his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirt. Three into one. Without them we are nothing with them we have and are everything. All the things I have been through this past year and life time would be impossible to go through without GOD. He is there to help pick me up when I need it and there to be my Friend when none are around. Thank you GOD for all you have done for and given me. The helaing of my Grandson keeping my family safe and giving me life and a wonderful family. I LOVE YOU LORD.


Bad stuff happens to good people, handle it and overcome.
My motto for life:
Let go and let GOD,
Only HE can control everything.

I know I would not have survived my childhood experiences without the hand of God in my life making the difference between life and death.  He is the only reason I survived and lived to tell the story to help others realize their is a God and He cares about every facet of our life....He goes into every battle with us and offers His shield of protection when are very life is at stake.

Absolutely, 100%!!  I know HE was looking out for my kids when our truck was hit by an 18-Wheeler Semi Truck and they were fine, not a scratch.  Even though the driver of the truck that hit us nor anyone else driving by stopped, HE was took care of us until I got help!!!  AMEN!!

I believe in something. There is something I'm sure.


I you call it God, it's ok with me. But I don't need a bible or church to make me believe.

Barb, I don't know that the question here should be what do I believe in because I can tell you that I believe in this or that and you would not be any closer to the answer to your dilemma.  From your question it seems that you believe in something. . . . .but you either don't know what you believe in (which doesn't seem to be the case) but more of the why do you believe in it or how can it be proven one way or the other.  Either of these are something you will eventually have to answer for yourself.  All I can say is we all "stall" sometime in our beliefs wondering if what we believe in is either worth it or if it's true or not.


The question I think you are looking for is how do you prove "Faith"?  If you can prove something, then you don't need faith so I am thinking that this is the catch-22 that you are currently in.  Again, this is something we all face from time to time so you are not alone.

I think those of us who have talked to you and read your posts understand you were being sarcastic, I think your explanation of your beliefs are engrained in so many LEOs and other professions alike..........that gut feeling, the one you pray silently, or out loud to, Please Lord, hear my prayer.............

I believe the real reason while we are here is bigger than what we can understand. We just do the best we can trying to figure it out. If your belief helps you get through the day that's fine. Just don't impose it on me.

GOD DECLARES HIMSELF!!  The earth and the works there of my creations and my love toward mankind. " I belive in GOD,  and have nothing o lose for believing but those who would deny Him will one day be SUDDENLY CUT OFF FOR ALL ETERNITY and I had rather be right  and belive than take chance for not beieving and suddenly  find ALL TRUE. !!  I have nothing to lose you on the other hand who claim to be non belivers have your very souls to lose not just for a day...but for all eternity. !!!!

Hmm, one nice thing about this thread is, no one is imposing their thoughts or beliefs on anyone, not that I can tell.  It is an adult discussion, not even a debate, but, I dont see anyone telling anyone else they must believe in my Christian God, go to church, or even read the Bible.
