I think it's impossible to put all what I feel into words, and if I could, I somehow couldn't summarize it in one sentence. I don't know how to explain this....I just can't put it into ONE sentence. But you guys are doing a great job, I would take a little out of each of yours!! B)

That is why I put "everything the Catholic Church teaches"... it covers it all... :D

God Bless,

I believe in the eternal Triune God God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; I believe that God created the universe and all the is within I believe that God the Son, Christ, was sent to earth to live a sinless life and die for my sins I believe that Christ was buried for three days and on the third day He rose again I believe in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures which were written by Holy men of old as the Spirit moved them I believe that all men are sinful and deserving of Hell I believe that God thru Christ Jesus has created a way for sinful man to enter heaven by placing his trust in Christ I believe that Christ will return to take His bride, The Church, to heaven to live with him forever I believe that without faith one cannot be a child of God I believe that there is no other created intelligent life in the galaxy for the simple fact that there is no intelligent life here on earth I also believe that I am creating a run-on paragraph-sentence by using no periods I believe that if my High School English teacher were to read this I would be punished for writing such a long sentence I believe that I had better end this sentence soon for I fear that my readers will soon become bored of reading such a long sentence, Therefore, it is with sad resignation that I end this sentence with a single dot.

As a song I heard once goes, "Amazing love / How can this be / That Thou, my God / Should die for me?"

That is a cool song. Have you only heard it once?

What I believe:

I believe that Jesus died and took the punishment for my sins and because of that I love him and want to obey his commandments.

It is a beautiful hymn especially when it is sung correctly with the men singing their parts and the ladies singing their parts. It's a good hymn that we sing at my Baptist Church. We'd sing it at the Uniting Church but we're only a small church and the minister and I can't sing it in tune with the men and ladies parts and we're trying to lead the church in singing it!! Our poor church, we sing to CD's!!!

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen; I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made; for us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man; for our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, on the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures, he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end; I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; with the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified and has spoken through the Prophets; I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church; I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins; I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
