From a purely Public Relations viewpoint, if Jesus would not have rushed off so quickly after the victory, the impact might have went a little better Just puzzled. This is not anti-religion at all, if you find it that way, I apologize, and there's the door. There's no point.
Age 1-18 I went to church every Wednesday night at 7:30 and twice on Sunday and Sunday school. I don't need the Word or saving, been there done that. Just so we understand where we stand.
Your statement: "By the way, everything that is written up in this Book is being fulfilled as time goes by... Making it not only the most accurate History Book of all times but also the most trusted futuristic Book ever written as well as the most accurate History Book ever written as History unfolds word for word, title for title and line for line as it grows older by the minute." The actions of men in this world are fully predictable and the writers of the Bible understood this. Technology is what makes people think man can fix anything, do anything. That is "The Great Deceiver", the "anti-Christ". Sinning against that which brought us here, this Earth. But, since we got Heaven, that's not a problem is it?
GODS
In the beginning, according to words of our “god“, we rationalize, we, all life of God’s creation, we’re all in a garden of no self-awareness, no knowledge of good and evil. Because of our weakness, we became self aware, a human curse. We are cast out of the garden, leaving all the other non-humans safe in their garden. We feel we need back into this pleasant state because the humans of this world make hell on each other. How do we get back? To get back, there MUST be a god, he controls the garden. If so, we must define all the ways to do this. The Bible.
It HAS to be the word of god because that’s the only way we can float this idea to ourselves. We believe anything man touches is corrupted. Look at the centuries of ill treatment to the Jews by their conquerors. Centuries of slavery. Can you imagine what that is like to a people, to their dignity, to their love of family. Totally unfathomable. Generations of nothingness. "God would do this? It MUST be a test. God might do that sort of thing. Look at JOB. This life sucks. Bingo, afterlife, we can win over the domain of man by taking him totally out of control of where we can go when the pain is over. God is our heavenly father and by god, we win over our earthly pain. Is this bad? No, I don’t think so. It’s only what men, outside of a perceived “Garden”, will seek to do. Something that a dog or bird doesn’t have to be concerned with doing.
Defining the meaning of life is “Being Human 101“. We got ourselves kicked out, now how do we get back? WE are men that think we can fix anything. Flaw #1
Look at our world today, technology is the great fixer. It clouds our truth. Technology, according to my mouth is the “Great Deceiver”, our false GOD. He is here. We think we can save ourselves, which, while being noble, is quite a fallacy to religious people. We believe in it, which is ourselves, to meet any challenge. To believe otherwise is like saying in church, “There is no god“.
It’s hard for me to believe that this all knowing creator would enjoy seeing us do our deeds and try to find our way back to the his garden. Woodstock. This sounds too much like the reasoning of man, the source.
This is the why it is said, WE created God. We give him manly reasoning, because we are men. If we could think like god, we would not be in our predicament. Oh, divine hand of god told these men. Really? I could have come up with that one. Enjoy the FERVOR. Got my fire proof suit on, after all, I am human.
I'm NOT trying to change anyone's faith, just don't feel threatened when you encounter those unlike you. I have had my first 18 years of life going to church at 10am Sunday for Sunday school and 11am to 12pm in the regular service and again that night, 6pm to 7pm and 7:30pm on Wednesdays. I know all the theories. Don't feel you need to just show me the way. I'm 63 now. Had I not been exposed this soon in life and had "seen the light" much later after being "lost" and corrupt, then found the tools of religion to give me hope, I feel I would be on the other side of this issue, arguing God created Man.
Created is being confused with parents, a religious sort of thinking. Missing the argument completely, so we are forever engaged in this chicken and egg debate, floating on the surface of self-hypnosis and missing what is right there deep, "too deep", off the your antiquated radar system. We don't pretend to try to find the exact moment it happened, that's not important. We think, therefore we are, therefore, there is God.
Anyone who proposes to speak to Words of God, leaves me with the visual impression of a chimp in an Armani suit holding something and making noise.
All that said, I do believe in a power or reality that we cannot possibly comprehend. We try, oh yes, but so far, I have heard nothing but words from people who are terrified at the thought that life will end and they will be held accountable because that's the way MEN think, not Gods.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
