Believing in God saves you? From what?

Some people think that if you believe in a god then you are saved. What are you saved from I wonder? Perhaps it's better not to be saved and enjoy what you are doing. After all, who would want to exist in any possible after life and encounter people you hated in this current world.cheers

You are a biological entity, Ms. Gloss, and a rather beautiful one.......bouquet
Typho That is intolerance of course.
You are in a safe environment, I'm not going to sieze you, you know.....
As my profile says, I'm not even looking; I have already met someone, on here...
GG

Thanks for the compliment, though........cool
GG

In real life?; I don't recall that I have ever talked to you in real life. In fact, I shouldn't, my GF would get jealous!
I bet you broke some hearts when you were young......smitten
GG

Anyway; thanks for the compliment about my poetry.......tip hat
Lovecanbereal ~ Of course I believe it. My man is an Atheist as I said, He has everything in common with me and we get on well, very well except for a difference in our belief system regarding God.
When you meet somebody and the electricity is there [and it still is , you will discover as you get older ] ,
believing or not believing does not matter. You fall for the human and of course there is attraction.
CROWNAFFAIR your Blog has been highjacked ! sorry.
Lovecanbereal ~ Me gone too. Did you say gentle with the ladies ?laugh
So, after all that, what does being saved mean? Saved from what?confused
How do you know which is the right god? Or the right religion? Any intelligent God must realise that most people are reasonably intelligent by now just as god is, and he surely would realise that the choice put before people is very difficult. Who would he choose if he was in our position? confused
When Joseph Smith was unsure of which beliefs were correct, God told him, none of them. The Mormon religion then started and known as church of latter Day saints. Are they right?confused dunno
GG---Thanks for response. No I'm not a Mormon, but I have spent some time with them out of curiousity and after being invited by their sisters to see what they believe. I have also spent time with JW's and know what they believe. JW's don't believe in hell, but those who don't accept god, just remain dead and are not resurrected. Mormons believe in a complicated system of different categories of after life depending on how you behaved in your current life.
So you see it gets quite difficult for people to know whether they are on the right course in life, and there are numerous other religions, Hindu, seikh, Budda, to consider.

GG. -- it's good to see that you did look into most religions. Most people don't bother. It shows that you were interested in life and the possible systems that brought us onto this planet. Have you ever looked into ancient astronaut theories? I find that revealed so much about the possible influences on the lives of people hundreds or thousands of years ago. It makes you think about the contents of religious books and how some of the stories could be more credible if you apply the theories of people who are not main stream scientists, and who because they can't explain certain historical occurrences, choose to ignore them.
Hi,Crow

For me I don't believe in God because I have never seen - what I know is in scriptures and narrations

But I believe in cause and effect and correctness and see with your own eyes
believe in the laws of nature
believe in the solar system
believe in science that can be proven
and believe that what will save us is wisdom, our own abilities are not God.smile
Reality. It saves you from reality. But it's not the only way. You could build a baseball pitch for ghosts, an atheist world isn't necessarily a world of reason it just rises out of the enlightenment before the baseball pitch for ghosts.
Atheism, is a belief, that serves me nicely, thankyou...
Sounds to me like someone got whacked in the back off the head with a baseball roll eyes
but who am I to know ...

laugh
It's been said before; but .

Man made God, and NOT the other way around.
I really am off to bed, this time.....It's hard to keep a good bloke down (that would be me).....
@ Celtic witch

Kick the ball, witch, and not the player

wave
Toodle pip, for now, everyone..wave
If you don't get yourself off to the bed Love" I'll be giving YOU a good kicking....scold

All for your own good that is comfort laugh lol

gnite
CROWNAFFAIR The only reason I studied so many was that I was searching as I had lost faith in my Roman Catholic church and all that went with it. I don't mean to brag, far from it. I just started studying , attending the mosque, attending the Synagogue and I learnt a lot about cultures too in the process.
I hope I am somebody who is tolerant of all religions but also have a respect for those who cant believe and don't believe. We are all in this world together. Thanks for the blog . wave
Believing in God saves you from from the perception some lunatic's dreamt up many a moons ago Crown, those lunatic's thought people are not talented enough to work it out themselves..
@ butcher

Yeah, but the even bigger lunatics, are the ones that follow them. All this shows is a weak will, a lack of courage; and an inability (or a laziness); to think for THEMSELVES...

But doing some actual thinking (for themselves), has never been too popular, with these types of characters, has it?
Consider the LINK SUPPLIED, IN THIS COMMENT (BELOW), FOR, INSTANCE....

I mean how can people be so STUPID and GULLIBLE?....(Actually it is barely believable)...yet, (as the link says); "these idiots exist"!!!

It would seem very reasonable, to infer, that the good folks at CAD, are NOT THE SHARPEST TOOLS IN THE SHED!!!!........................

rolling on the floor laughing

But (for me at least); the real and absolute tradgedy, is that these (aforementioned) idiots are REPRODUCING!!!....................doh
You are still living, moving, eating, doing so many things, you are talking about every possible good or bad subject, you are putting questions, you are sleeping when you feel tierd and wake up to see HOW you WONDER WHY!!!!

You still belive that God is not saving you??? laugh
I hate to burst your bubble; but there's nothing there, mate ..
And just because there are many priests especially in the Catholic religion who has violated the most serious human law as well as Good, doesn't mean we condone these crimes nor find ourselves thwarted in our beliefs. sad flower
Hey Lindsy, you forgot to mention the fence sitters or the people believe there's a God but don't except that any person has to answer to this God...
I certainly have no intention of answering to any God in the celestial life, i'm more likely to question the God about how he got control of creation... or if the God wants to be worshipped so much, why didn't the God make race people that only worships..
Have you ever thought what created god, and what created the creater of God and so on. Where does it begin? It's impossible to conceive that there was nothing in the begining, but you can't create something from nothing. Or can you?confused dunno
C'mon crown; there might be an upside: at least people like you and me, will know people there..




rolling on the floor laughing
And we won't have to argue, with kidults, who still believe in Santa Claus !!!..

professor
That's right kidults, who still believe in Santa Clause !!!

You sound like someone who does not believe that there is a God Supreme Being
Yet you claim by what you say that you already know that if there's an afterlife?
It is not as good as the life we have now
Where's your proof of what comes from your brain that goes to you mouth
And then is spit out like a bad rain storm?
Maybe believing in a God saves us from people like you.
