Rough Poll on Religion

[Whickerman]

Could we have a quick show of hands please?

Could you state what you'd class your religion as, just out of curiosity? Just one liners, and if you practice or not

[naomi24]

Big question for me. No man made religion - just an inner belief in the universe, nature and what it all holds. Don't practice anything except arguing about man made religion, and I'm sorry this has run into more than one line. For someone like me, it's Impossible to make it shorter.

[Theland]

Born again Christian.

[wizard69]

Atheist..(how do you practice atheism) lol...

[Whickerman]

Animist.

[naomi24]

Wizard - must try harder!

[Llamatron]

I'm not religious because I'm an atheist.

[wizard69]

thank you naomi...knew there was a way

[luna-tic]

I do not practice any religion but a lot of my personal beliefs do coincide with those found in "Animism".
Sorry Whickerman, more than one line also. :0)

Born Again Christian

[whiffy]

I'd like to be a Christian, it's hard work, but I keep trying.

By the way, is it possible to be a non-born-again Christian ?

[Theland]

Whiffey - You were born, like all of us, physically, but due to sin, are spiritually dead, unless and until you accept the free gift of forgiveness offered by God, as His Son Jesus Christ paid the penalt for our sin, satisfying Gods perfect justice.
Accept Jesus into your life, and you will be born again, although this time, spiritually, a new creation. Eternity could start for you right now.

[Theland]

typing error - Eternal LIFE could start for you right now.

[wizard69]

"Eternity could start for you right now"....scare tactics & wrong thread Theland. Start your own thread if you want to preach

[Theland]

just answering whiffey - sorry.

Hi Whiffy,

I use the name 'born again Christian' from John 3:3, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God", and as there are people who would use the name Christian but not believe the Bible etc.

When you ask forgiveness for your sins, and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, God gives you a new heart and spirit, you are spiritually reborn, all your past sins are washed away by the Blood of Jesus, and you have a new desire to follow God. Of course you have the same body and thus have the constant daily struggle against sin in your life, as we wont be perfect until we reach Heaven.

If you are asking whether anyone can be a Christian, a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, without this happening in their lives then I would have to say no.

I was under the impression that this was poll not a chance to preach....
I'm slowly giving up the will to live.................

Wizard69 - Stop frothing! You are on the wrong side of thirty I guess, but not so old as to cantankerous!
(I'd love to be there when you open the snotty letter from the bank - what a scene!)

[maxximus]

90% of phaedophiles released from canadian peneteniaries claim to be born again christians, not a team i'm interested in playing for. i was raised catholic, but bailed on the whole notion year's ago, pointless.
