Do you believe in religion or in God?

I believe in my own personal concept of god. (Panentheism is about as close as I can get, label-wise.)

I do not have a religion at this point. But if I find one in the future that seems to fit me..? Then I might just consider joining it. Never say never! (..It would have to be VERY lax on the whole dogma thing, though. Because I'm all about personal, direct spiritual experience, and I can't stand dogma for the life of me!)

The way I see spirituality, and religions, is that they're all different paths leading to the same goal. But different ones will suit different people. And that's perfectly okay! There is God, oneness, the bright white light, infinity, love, the ineffable... However you want to phrase it. But we have these fallible human brains. And we have limited ways of interpreting it, while we're in this physical, material state, on this planet known as Earth. So what works for my brain might not necessarily work for yours. And vice versa, too. :)

I believe in the God of Israel (the Christian God) because the God of Israel has chosen to prove Himself to humanity via prophecy. He chose to use prophecies such as: the exile of Israel, the sudden increase of knowledge, the Holocaust, and the return of Israel, to prove Himself because only God can know the future. It is through this that humanity can be certain that the God of Israel is the living God because it is impossible for any living thing could have guessed the future thousands of times without error.

There is one true God Yahweh, the great `I Am` and His son Jesus Christ who have the words of everlasting life because He is the only God who foretells the future hundreds or even thousands of years before it happens. He is also the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob. There are numerous prophecies regarding the coming of the messiah with impossible odds for any man to fulfill but Jesus did .

Isaiah 46:10 King James Bible

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Isaiah 44:7-8

And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

2 Peter 1:19 King James Bible

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Peter speaking of Jesus;

Acts 4:12 King James Bible

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

This is what God had written; (I hope you read it)

Mathew 10:22 And you will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved

Romans 10:9 For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.

1Tim 2:4 whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.

1Cor 1:18 For the speech about the torture stake is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is God’s power. 19 For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.” 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this system of things? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not get to know God through its wisdom, God was pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.

Romans 10:. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” 14 However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? 15 How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent out? Just as it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who declare good news of good things!”

I do not believe in god or religion (Satanism is a Philosophy, not a religion)

Some use religion to save and redeem, while others use Religion to profit and pilfer

Some practice religion to be saved and redeemed, while others practice religion for profit and to pilfer.

◄ Matthew 7:16 ►

By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

1 Samuel 16

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

No, religion doesn't matter, but the adherents do if they use their religion to claim entitlement or try to force others to follow their religious ideologies.

there are so many religions BUT there is only ONE God.

and this ONE God also has a religion ... christianity.

' Do you believe only people from your religion can be saved '

christians are a group of people who are saved ... means they go to heaven.

non christians can NEVER be saved since they believe in other 'gods' who are essentially DEMONS but are called ... idols.
