The truth REALLY is some serious stuff.
I could only imagine what it feels like when you KNOW for certain that you have the truth when there is no room for doubt whatsoever.
Can the idea of truth even be understood within our tiny little human brains? What is it that validates if things are the truth or not? Is it when it checks out scientifically? Is it when masses of people have faith in that one thing? Or is it when that amazing higher power (known as God, the Almighty, Yehowah, and other various names) has the final say?
If so…what if we are confident in the idea that we are developing a strong and meaningful relationship with God. We have faith, and believe and everything. We walk through life looking at the paths, and other peoples’ method of developing that divine relationship, and see it as false. See it as a lie; simply because its not the same as what we do.
While we are in these bodies, I don’t think we have the capacity to even wrap our minds around truth. We can’t, because WE get in the way. We are quick to call someone else’s way a lie because it threatens what you have found comfort, stability and strength in.
It is such a scary thought when the idea of how much an influence the Devil has on this world is put into the equation. Someone could follow a “red herring”. Someone could follow what they believe to be truth, and it be nothing but a lie.
How devastating would that be? To go all through life, thinking and believing you are doing right, and then you are turned away from God for eternity. You wouldn’t be able to experience the relationship you’ve been working your lifetime for.
It is scary. The concept of truth is held in the words of the human race. And believe it or not, the human race is manipulative by nature. We like company. We do not like to stand alone. We want others to follow what we believe, and have others taking the journey with us.
It is not a bad nature. But it is innate. Innate and dangerous when it comes to something as important, and influential as spirituality, and reaching God. If one uses their “nature” properly, they can hoard up a pretty good group of people. A comforting group of people.
Now, I am not writing about religious or spiritual beliefs in bad light. I am just trying to understand the contradictions the many religions of the world have when compared to each other.
Who has the answer? The Muslims? the Christians? The Jews? The Buddhists? The Agnostics? The etc?
Trying to understand that is frustrating, and angering. We just want to get to know God, and now that we are doing right by him. Correct?
Have we as humans created the concept of there being an answer and only one answer? Have we put this stress upon ourselves?
What if we are just supposed to get “the right idea”? Meaning, we get the gist of it?
All religions have something in common. Humans are treated equally, our bodies honored as temples (meaning we take care of them from abstaining from such things as premarital sex, certain diets, and etc.), and others. Am I right?
If I am right, let me continue. The major things that all of these religions have that are different, are the people, prophets, messiahs that have presented their answer to the masses.
Who’s answer do we believe? Or rather, is it a system of answers we should grow to understand. This whole “I have the truth and you don’t” thing is causing wars, and is spewing darkness all over the world.
Are we missing something? or am I?
Please enlighten me folks. I would like to get as close to what God wants for me as possible. If you’ve read my previous posts, I think one can understand that is is one of the roots of my problem. Its my issue of not being able to trust humans, let alone trust myself.
If only we got immediate feed back from God when we made a bad decision, and God’s answer to “How do I fix it”. And if that already exists…I wish I could hear it, and KNOW the difference between God’s voice, and the sound of me getting in the way.
If it were all so simple.
Love you all. :c)
