My paticular beliefs are that there is a God. I won't name the specific religion in this comment, because people would be biased to anything else I said. Anyways my religion is basically that of a Jew and a protestant mixed. I know there is a God and that he is eternal. In fact we are all eternal. We didn't have physical bodies before we came here to this earth, but our intelligence (conscience) always has been. How that can be I don't know the specifics, I do know its true though.

The point of this life is to test our agency or our ability to choose right from wrong. We have the ability to choose if we want to do what is right or wrong. If we choose what is right God rewards us in this life and in the life to come. If we do what is bad we are punished. So there is accountibility to our choices. Your basic religion stuff. I have heard a lot of people say that God is lonely that is why he created us or that we are automatically saved, etc. Those ideas of religion never made sense to me. If God was wanted us in heaven with him, or was just going to bring us to heaven anyways why not skip having us go through this life? Also for the saving thing they believe God came down and suffered so we could be saved, why didn't he save himself the trouble and just create friends who could be in heaven with us. There must be something about this life for us. It is to be able to learn and grow. God sending his son (literally, not a different version of him, though Jesus is a God himself) to suffer for our sins was to allow us to, if we choose to, repent of our sins so we aren't punished for them.

Basically I know there is a God and he has a specific plan for all of us. This religion makes sense to me spiritually and physically. Can I answer every single question, no cause not all of them are essential for me to know in this life. How do I know its true? Through a promise God gave to us to let us know (read, study and pray the Holy Ghost will let you know). Why doesn't God just send a message for everyone to let them know what he wants them to do, he has through the scriptures and also unless we want to know the message would infringe on our right to choose.
