Why I Do Not Honor God

Why I Do Not Honor God

I believe in a universal higher power, which I refer to as the spirit. I am human and as with most humans, must label to understand or to simplify, therefore to simply the all encompassing, the universal higher power, I use the words “the spirit”. Others may prefer the label of God, Jehovah, Yahweh, or energy.

The spirit is the teacher of right versus wrong. I believe the spirit directs humans by instilling emotions to alert us of our imperfections and to congratulate us on the balance of our spirit and the spirit.

Our parents, religions, educators, and friends teach us morals. The spirit, in conjunction with our selves, our personal spirit, confirms these morals with a feeling (emotion) of “rightness”. This emotion however, is not to be confused with a sense of righteousness, for that is pride and not a spiritual attribute, but an attribute of the ego.

The reason I do not refer to this power as God is because the name God is based on words written and translated by man and then selected and placed in a book by man. This book is called the Bible. According to the Bible, God tells us to, "Do as I say." We should only listen to Him, only obey His laws, worship no other but him, etc. and I think God is a hypocrite, at least the God I have read about and so many Christians thump about. According to His words, we are to believe that pride and ego are attributes of the devil, yet are not God’s laws signs of pride and ego of God, Himself? And where did the name God come from anyway?

I believe that as long as one practices the moral teachings of "Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you." that we are on the right path. It just may not be titled the same.

There really is a God even though some people may not believe it.

Good points

Celanith The problem "God" is man, not a higher creative intelligent power. God made man, he made man perfect. Man just had to disobey ONE simple thing not to eat of ONE tree. Of course we have Satan there too and he was created before man and rebelled. What most people and religions do is they actually do NOT at all understand the bible, or the creator. They wrap things into a neat little package and invent God as they want him or her to be. God first of all is the name of a spiritual family. It is a surname. We as humans are given the opportunity if we repent and submit to God's purpose and will the chance to become spiritual sons and daughters of the God family right along with Christ the first begotton son. Heirs with him. We are given free will choice since Adam and Eve chose to eat a forbidden fruit. They and all humanity has suffered the consequences. Chirst who was spiritual a high priest emptied himself willingly of his spiritual being and submitted to become a human and a willing sacrifice for all humanity he literally laid his life down for all humanities sins. It is a gift and we can choose to accept it or refuse it. When he left he left a comforter "The Holy Spirit" In an indepth study recently with others we learned that this Spirit is not masculine but feminine. The softer side the nurturer, comforter like a mother. The bible is much deeper than most see on the surface. Most never get past the surface. The holy spirit helps you understand God and the bible in ways most never even begin to tap into. We cannot know God or the Spirit, the spiritual realm is vastly surpieror to human. Our thoughts don't even come close to the Spirits thoughts. One thing we are NOT all saved however most will be in the end. A few won't because they refuse to submit or understand or accept. The net is a poor place to really portray what can be shown. or explained but There is a Spirit and a Spiritual family and Realm and we can become part of it if we accept the gift of salvation in Faith and with Works.

Hello everyone, stop and set awhile.

I don't expect God to stop Rape

I hope that man will follow the morals taught as guidelines of behavior and the spirit of doing no harm. Moose3, you may not have addressed this to me, but I will "step in" and reply to this anyway... "so befor posting please go learn a little bit about the people that do respect the religion." Just because my beliefs do not agree with yours, does not mean I am ignorant of others. Please keep your judgements to yourself. I am not discountig the Ten Commandments, I believe that they are important morals that have fallen out of sight in society. I feel that they must be brought back, but as morals, as guidelines, not as God's laws or words. Religion and spirituality are personal beliefs that one needs to feel comfortbale with in their own life not try to force others to conform. If each individual were to try to treat others as they want to be treated out of respect and kindness instead of the fear of God or hell then maybe people will see more clearly that they are true acts of kindness instead of acts for rewards.

first of all God gave man

first of all God gave man the ability of free choice so how do you expect him to stop rape and other things thats not his choice so befor posting please go learn a little bit about the people that do respect the religion. obviously he would feel that you respect the good side of him i mean of course some of the bible is bull but its called faith if you have it or not god tries to give us these laws so we can be better people and to answer the others question why all the rape and stuff happens it WOULDNT if we fallowed the laws the commandments are guide lines for men and women to lead better lives and not have the world of fighting, raping, and killing which we obviously all ready do. thankyou and have a good night

Thank you Babygirllove

"So Mote it be, Harm none do as ye will" another accurate sentence explaining the spirit of the spirit(s). Whether God or Godess, "harm none". MJ - Sending happy thoughts and Smiles! Avatar: Betrayal and Retribution http://www.valkyrieart.com/Poser1.html
