Good list.
I agree and will add I believe the Bible is the word of God and unchanging.
Still fighting with the water in Yankton? I hear it is still bad in Pierre.
I believe that reason is the doorway to mansion of faith. And that faith not grounded in reason is ineffectual.
I have a feeling you wouldn’t actually want to hear my answers to this one, so I’ll pass. I will keep coming back for your other posts, though.
I believe in all of these things, I just need to put my beliefs into practice.
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
I believe @LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - is a man.
I believe Bi-partisanship is stupid.
I believe Democrats and Republicans equally have the same number of homosexuals, if not, closet homosexuals.
I believe there is nothing wrong with being gay because I keep the church and state separate.
I believe America is starting to be run by minorities. I don’t mean ethnic minority, but belief minorities, the rich and powerful who are minorities but own 60% of the nation’s wealth.
I believe the gender pay gap is closing and that the 70 cents to a dollar ratio of females to males is only offset because of the baby-boomer generation who still own majority of the fortune 500 businesses.
I believe Jesus is God.
I believe in everything you listed, including the animals and dinosaurs part. :~)
@BenelliMan - Who else do you believe is a man?
How would you feel if someone said you were a rotten, hateful father who has no business being around children and that the mother of those children would do well to get them as far away from you as possible before you become violent?
Expressing such hatred is unbecoming especially if you are shameless enough to mention Jesus Christ in the same breath.
Xangans should not have to suffer abuse as they go around Xanga.
Please leave my good name out of your hate.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - Ever look in the mirror lately? Shave.
I believe in the Holy Catholic Church. I guess we all have different beliefs.
I believe everything you listed except the animal part–Is there a scriptural reference for that?
Gays should not be allowed to marriage. Supporters for gays are being too lenient. Maybe in fifty years. I like your patriotism, I guess you would be willing to die for your country.
@bmojsilo - thanks
@Lucy_or_Ethel - Great thing to believe
@vexations - The flooding has made some great fishing places. There are still some places by the river that have flooded.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - How can faith grounded in reason be faith? I’m trying to understand your response.
@TheSchizoidMan - Actually I wouldn’t mind your response. I like to know what each person believes whether I agree or not.
@rocketopossum - I hear you on that. Faith in action.
@Veronica_Leigh - Thanks
@BenelliMan - Button Pusher
@Babyboomerjill - I grew up in the Catholic Church – school until 8th grade.
@stephensmustang - No scripture reference just my imagination and my wishful thinking. I’m probably wrong about it.
@RulerofMasons - I was in the Navy 8 years and in all those years I didn’t meet anyone that would willingly die for his country, including myself. I don’t think that’s why people go into the military.
I believe that love is a vital life force that surrounds everything in this so called universe. I also believe that if we took only just a few minutes each day to share in this love, our universe would be a much better place to be.
@Randy7777 - Reason keeps faith practical, useful and true.
For example, faith in the god Apollo is not grounded in reason so it is absurd.
Likewise, atheism is a faith not grounded in reason and so it is absurd.
Our Christian faith must make sense. It must be reasonable or else it becomes absurd. And an absurd faith is ineffective for the purposes of spreading peace and truth.
@Randy7777 - lolol
I share several of your beliefs.
I’m beginning to wonder more about “The Rapture”. It seems as though it might be soon, but Jesus said that no one knows when it will happen. It’s probably well that we do not know. ~~Blessings ‘n Cheers
I believe as long as there are social blogging sites, there will be drama.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace -
Hey good to see ya. Hope you are having a good week and you get more yummy stuff out of your garden.
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - thanks
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - thanks for that explanation. I’ll have to give some thought to that. It’s something I’ve not thought of before.
@DonnaLou - I often think that even if the rapture doesn’t happen in my lifetime, life goes by so fast that I should live like it can happen any day.
@Randy7777 - This also affects Christians who believe in “faith only” and “Scripture only” doctrines.
Those doctrines specifically attack the disciple’s ability to think rationally about what they believe in.
Wow, I’m glad you believe in the animals and dinosaurs being special enough to come to Heaven with us. (: That makes me really happy.
I personally believe YHWH and Yahshua are two different people, but that’s a topic that usually gets me eaten alive by other Christians, sooooo…ehhh. >,<
