Humanity and religions

MAN NEEDS GOD. We believe that, there is only one God throughout the universe and God is the universal life force that guides and gives life to the entire universe. Therefore every living thing is part of God life force, since God is the essence of all life in the universe, for this reason no living thing can exist without God life force.
-
Welcome to our blog, Man needs God
and our post, Humanity and religions
-


The big bang theory is a theory that assumes that a very long time ago there was a big explosion in the universe and from this big bang the universe was formed, it was spontaneous, so there was no need of a creator like God?









Mankind has always needed gods, most religions explain their gods in a way or another; but the greatest God that we know today is the god of the Israelite as in the Bible, that Moses met on Mount Sinai in the form of burning bush.


HUMANITY AND RELIGIONS

As we have seen in our previous article, where Stephen Hawking, physicist argues in a new book; God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics. Here we may have to give Stephen Hawking that it is possible what he is saying is right, but we the people may argue otherwise, because we have always needed God and we will continue to search for God evidence. Anyhow in this article of, humanity and religions, what we are writing in here are also studies of religions, so while we are writing and discussing we learn a bit more about mankind and the need they have for religions? Which we are going to put forward our views here in the following way:
Since the beginning of recorded time mankind seems to have had this need to believe in a deity, so they have had many problems to find the right religion for themselves; you see, firstly they had to find the right God for themselves and then to follow their God’s ways, it has been so even if somehow they had invented everything themselves. Why mankind needs a God you may ask? Well, let us explain this to you the way that we see it; you see, we believe that, “Man needs God” so that they may turn for help from God if and when they need help; and at the same time, if there is a real God, God needs man also, otherwise what is a god good for if there are no believers? Therefore it is a fair exchange and both benefit from this exchange, that is why God and religions need to be the way they are today, or at least we have to try to keep them as close as possible as they are, even if we have to make some changes just to keep religions in touch with the ever changing needs of mankind.
Now that we have stated that we need some religious changes, we know that these changes bring with them some doubts to the believer; therefore, let us say something to our readers to make them understand that they don’t need to worry, because what might going to change is not much, as we are explaining once more with this article below, for my readers’ peace of mind.
Written for our readers’ peace of mind
To anyone who is a believer and believes in God and other religious beliefs, please read our Prayers for Reconciliation and also Reconciliation if the Universe writings fully before you pass judgment and quit reading; you see Prayers for Reconciliation is only an idealistic theory, which through discussions with other fellow believer (and perhaps non-believers) is trying to find a way on how to link all existing religions together, in the hope that they would not be able to fight each other any longer in the future on religious grounds; Reconciliation of the Universe is the theory that might be able to achieve just that.
--------------------------------------------------

 WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE

We will have to set the stage for the entire world to see.
And whoever will read these writings might have to agree,
That here we are trying to find a way to God for all humanity;
In order to stay in touch with God-life-force for eternity
So, I am praying God's heavenly angels to help me.
-----------------------------------------
I AM PRAYING GOD FOR GUIDANCE.
Our Father in heaven, to you I turn God Most High, and I start to pray with all my heart, my soul and my mind. In the name of The-Father The-Son and The-Holy Spirit I am praying, hoping that you would send an heavenly angel to guide and help me, or let the ever present guiding force of the Holy Spirit on earth guide and help me; So that, I would be able to write these religious writing as humanly as possible according to your will and in such a way that humanity may accept them and use them for the future benefit of mankind. Father, hear my prayer and help me! Amen.
---------------------------------------------------------
Humanity needs to review religions
As we have said many times and here above, we seem to argue too many times about religions, whether there is a god or not that created the universe, and many other things for that matter? We just have to look at everyday news to find something that shows religions in a bad way? Therefore, this state of religious things as they are cannot go on forever just the way they are today, it becomes obvious by just following the news that mankind is using religions to find ways to use them for their own advantage and that is not good for anyone and even worse for religions.
So, in these religious writings here, we have to try to explain what is our point of view nowadays about God and religion, and also why we find it hard to be good souls in God’s eyes and follow God’s ways; and finally suggest what could be the best way for us to find our way back to the true existing living God. Here we might have to ask; what is the right way that will take us to to accept a new world religious reconciliation?
Today, as we have seen from the previous hubs that we have written, God as we have known for thousands of years is being attacked from learned people, so, it is only a matter of time before God and religions will need to change in order to survive. I know that this is the hardest thing to do for religions, because religions are just beliefs and beliefs cannot change easily, if beliefs would change easily then those beliefs that you have believed in for so long are worth nothing.
So, what can we do one may ask?
Answer; we may have to find a way about how we can link this present days religions to the future religions, which would be so constructed that they would be able to bridge past, present and future religions, you may think that this is outrageous and we have lost our minds to suggest it; but if you know about old religious beliefs and their history, then you will see that what we are suggesting here is not out of place, because religions have always slowly changed, so there is nothing to be worried about.
What can we do then you may ask?
Well, perhaps the question would have been more to the point if we would have asked. What sort of God or religion can achieve all that?
We will answer that in our next post; see you then.

Religious views and news

MAN NEEDS GOD. We believe that, there is only one God throughout the universe and God is the universal life force that guides and gives life to the entire universe. Therefore every living thing is part of God life force, since God is the essence of all life in the universe, for this reason no living thing can exist without God life force.
-
Welcome to our blog, Man needs God
and our post, Religious views on news
-
R. Dawkins
In this post as it happens we may be talking about two different people and two similar but different religious issues, although the names are almost the same, you can work it out, I hope. Here under is the link for one of them. You can find the other in the text.

R. Dawkins, v cardinal Pell


Religious views and news 

In our last article we have been talking about how God works in mysterious ways, because there are reasons to believe that God uses whatever is available to drive people wherever he wants, so he made me dream in impossible love dream, so that I would end up writing about him, for this reason I have been writing my own religious theory, of course I would like to compare my theory to other people theory and that is why I look at some religious news.
Now what I am going to say next is about something I have found on the Internet, which is an article from Stephen Hawking, this article prompts me to go on in the same religious direction as I have been doing before, just because some of the views in Stephen Hawking article seem to run parallel with my own religious theory, so, before I write this new Hub I need to ask myself, Is this another one of those happening where God works in mysterious ways? Because it seems to me that it could be so; since that is the only way I could see it.
Anyhow as we all know religions are based on beliefs, so we need to believe about something for that something to become true at least within our own minds; but as it happens today I feel some doubts in my mind while I am trying to compare my religious theory with what Stephen Hawking is saying, so, let me write a prayer invoking God to help me, so that I might be able to understand these religious things better, after all this is the reason we have called our religious writings, Prayers for reconciliation.
My prayer for guidance from God
In the name of the Father The Son and the Holy Spirit, Our Father who art in heaven, I turn to you praying God Most High with all my heart, my soul and my mind; I am praying you Heavenly Father, hoping that the guiding force of The-Holy-Spirit on earth would help me to write these religious writing which I am writing here the correct and proper way according to thy eternal benevolent will. Father, hear my prayer and help me. Amen.
Now that I have prayed God I feel more confident with myself, so I can go on and say what I have to say about Stephen Hawking;    
----------------------------------------------

Religious discussions on Stephen Hawking article

Now looking at what we would like to write about in our religious theory, we can see that our theory would resample in a small way Stephen Hawking ways of seeing God, since we don’t see God as a single person with so much power that can do just about anything, but we see God more like a life force that helps to bring life about, and therefore the natural forces that exist in the universe. We know that this statement could clash sometimes with our religious beliefs and the statement where we believe that we should have named our writings, Reconciliation of the Universe, because of the signs that I have seen; since this angel from heaven has greeted me as the author of, Reconciliation of the Universe, but I suppose even that is not enough for many reasons. Today this Stephen Hawing article come about and it seems to me that it could be another missing link for my religious theory. Anyhow let me state some of my own theory and observations, before I come to Stephen Hawking article.
Now we would like to talk about our own life experiences and observations, because we have reason to believe that in a strange and staged way they have led me to become a greater religious believer. So today I believe more firmly in God’s existence as our life giver, but I have to warn you because my religious beliefs are a bit different from normal everyday beliefs; for this reasons I might be writing a few things that might not be accepted from the public at large today, but they could be accepted in the future. You see this is why I believe that my religious theory is somehow similar to Stephen Hawking beliefs.
Talking about our God, what humanity needs to understand is that we all would like a god for ourselves; we want that because it is an inborn sense that drives us to do it anyhow. So in my life observations I see the ways we behave and what we think about ourselves; for these reasons we start asking questions like; why are we living on this planet earth? What is the meaning of our life in this world? And if we believe that God is our life giver, what is the reason for us living here on earth?
We have to admit that these are the questions that mankind asks all the time, but there is no real answer to these questions, it has been so since the beginning of the world, whether one day we will be able to answer those questions properly nobody knows. Here again in my feeling of insecurities I would like to pray God to help me.
My lord God for these reasons, I am praying you who is our Heavenly Father that through the ever present guiding force of The-Holy-Spirit on earth; you would guide me and help me to write only the right religious things in my religious writings:
Father, hear my prayer and help me write these religious writings the correct and proper way according to thy will. Amen.
-----------------------------------------------------

 Religious discussions and Stephen Hawking

I have reasons to believe that it might well be the will of God that I came across this news about Stephen Hawking article; Anyhow in our religious writings we thought that we had said most things about the existence of God in our articles, but I have realized now that I have not and there is a lot more to be said before it becomes clear, anyhow today I have found an article in the news that I have not written about, so let me post this extra article about the question that this article expressed, since it also was talking about the existence of God, this article deals with a new non religious trend, which we need to talk about and clarify if possible, so, we would like to say something about it in this article. We are going to call this post, Religious discussions and Stephen Hawking article; we hope we will be able to clarify this situation somehow? 
As you can see dear readers, once again we are going to go out of our normal way, because we feel the need to say something about what we have found in the news, so, instead of writing another post from our religious writings, we are going to comment about what we have found in the news.
You See, it has come again to our attention that there are a lot of learned people that would do anything to prove the non 
existence of God. But try as they may they do not convince us that there is no God at all, in fact we are convinced that there is a god-life-force in the universe that behaves perhaps the way these scientists describe their laws of physics. So, God may indeed exist and God might be that part of the laws of physic that makes life possible on earth, we dare say for the time being?
What are you talking about I can hear you asking? OK it is a long shot we agree. 
But then what is Stephen Hawking and the others talking about, one may ask? 
---------------------------------------------

Religious discussions and atheism with Stephen Hawking


IN THE NEWS TODAY, September 2010 
-
Stephen Hawking, physicist argues in a new book;
God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.
In "The Grand Design," co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow, Hawking says a new series of theories made a creator of the universe redundant, according to the Times newspaper which published extracts Thursday.
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes.
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
Hawking, 68, who won global recognition with his 1988 book "A Brief History of Time," an account of the origins of the universe, is renowned for his work on black holes, cosmology and quantum gravity.
Since 1974, the scientist has worked on marrying the two cornerstones of modern physics -- Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which concerns gravity and large-scale phenomena, and quantum theory, which covers subatomic particles.
His latest comments suggest he has broken away from previous views he has expressed on religion. Previously, he wrote that the laws of physics meant it was simply not necessary to believe that God had intervened in the Big Bang.
He wrote in A Brief History ... "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God."
In his latest book, he said the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting another star other than the Sun helped deconstruct the view of the father of physics Isaac Newton that the universe could not have arisen out of chaos but was created by God.
"That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions -- the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass, far less remarkable, and far less compelling evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings," he writes.
Hawking, who is only able to speak through a computer-generated voice synthesizer, has a neuro muscular dystrophy that has progressed over the years and left him almost completely paralyzed.
He began suffering the disease in his early 20s but went on to establish himself as one of the world's leading scientific authorities, and has also made guest appearances in "Star Trek" and the cartoons "Futurama" and "The Simpsons."
Last year he announced he was stepping down as Cambridge University's Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a position once held by Newton and one he had held since 1979.
"The Grand Design" is due to go on sale next week.
-
Whenever and whatever this book of Stephen Hawking is going to tell us, I do not know; but I know that it is not going to make any difference to my religious beliefs. Therefore, what would this new book prove to me 
about the existence of God?
I suppose nothing at all, because my views are that God can co-exist within this Stephen Hawking physicist theory, if his theory can be proven to be right.
Now that we have explained all this, we will be able to return back to our usual religious articles and next time we will be able to write our own ideas. I know that even now I can think about many more articles that need to be discussed about religious beliefs and non beliefs, so, we will have to go back again and again to discuss them, when the need arises.
We believe that we have said enough in this article about Stephen Hawking, so, next time we will go back to our normal religious articles and next post or article will be called: HUMANITY AND RELIGIONS.
See you next time,

God works in mysterious ways

MAN NEEDS GOD. We believe that, there is only one God throughout the universe and God is the universal life force that guides and gives life to the entire universe. Therefore every living thing is part of God life force, since God is the essence of all life in the universe, for this reason no living thing can exist without God life force.
-
Welcome to our blog, Man needs God
and our post, God works in mysterious ways
-


In our religious writings of Prayers for reconciliation, the Angels are the links to God, And this is their poem:


You angels of the realm of glory, you tell us about the eternal story, you tell us about the creator's glory, you tell us the wonders of God's creation







GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
Dear readers let me try to explain how in my opinion God works in mysterious ways. I believe that indeed God works in mysterious ways, so, let me state what are my beliefs today, while I am writing these chapter of my writings of, Prayers for Reconciliation; I have to say that my own beliefs about religion is that I have to try to do what God Almighty wants me to do all the time, in order to achieve that, I must listen to my soul and pray God, because the soul is that part of me that is closest to God-life-force, and which may be able to somehow get in touch with God: But to do that my soul needs to be pure and free from sins, my heart needs to be pure and my mind needs to be pure also.
Therefore, before I start to write anything about my religious beliefs, even though I believe that I am a good person, I know that I have to pray God our Almighty Father to forgive me my sins, so that through my prayers of forgiveness I may become forgiven and purified, and so, I would become worthy to write these religious writings.
So let me start praying:
Almighty Father I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind to forgive me all my life sins and make me clean of any impurities that may affect my soul, and thus I would become worthy to be you servant; I believe that during my life I might have sinned, so Father have mercy and forgive me my life sins, as I am only a human being wanting to be your servant, Father, hear my prayer, amen.
Dear reader as you can see for yourself, here and now I am praying God our Father who is in heaven to forgive me all my life sins, because I need to be forgiven and become free of all my life sins, if I want to write anything about God and religions. You see, we all need to be free of all impurities if we want to come close to God life force, because God life force can and will only help those who in God’s own eyes are free from sins, or at least have asked for forgiveness of their sins and have tried to live in God’s ways. You will be able to see what I mean if you keep reading all my religious writings.
I hope that I have explained what the reason for praying is, and why I need to be forgiven and purified in order to be able to talk about God and religious spiritual things. All this might be because I need to feel that I have to be forgiven and purified, and not only that because then, I would be able to pray God our Father to help and guide me in my task of writing my religious writings and prayers, I feel the need to go through these prayers, so that, I would believe in myself that I would be able to write and say the right things about my religious beliefs of Prayers for reconciliation.
So now, let me try to write another prayer that expresses my intentions to God.
Here to God our Creator I turn praying thus;
Almighty and Merciful Father forgive me all my life sins and make me clean of any impurities that affect my soul, and thus, I would become worthy to pray to you for help and guidance, and then you would be able to help me, while I write my religious writings of, Prayers for Reconciliation.
Here again I feel the need that I need to explain to my readers the reasons why I am doing this; you see, I am a simple self educated man who wants to write about the greatest subject ever known to man, religion? Which would be a hard subject to write even for a good writer?
To tell you the truth, I don’t know exactly when it all started, and why or how it started, perhaps this has been in my heart and in my mind for a long time, but only now I have become aware that it has been growing within me for a while, so, I have to try to explain it to you my readers what has happened to me somehow.
I don’t know how I can explain this to you the easy way ether: But let me start by saying this to you dear readers. You see, during anyone lifetime if one uses to go to church, it is very likely that one hears the preacher say several times perhaps, that God works in mysterious ways.
Because of my life experience I really believe that God works in mysterious way, since I have lived through some of these mysterious ways myself, in a few religious dreams and also life experiences.
Therefore now, I am going to write about my religious beliefs and how God works in mysterious ways, because I would like to share with you some of my life experiences, which have helped me to understand about religious beliefs, and these beliefs, have led me to write about religion as you can see here.
However I am only going to write in these religious writings a few of my most important dreams and experiences in order to show you what I mean, but there are a few more dreams which can be found in my writings of Dreamland, if one wants to read about the rest of them my written dreams? Cosmic Spiritual Dreams
You can also read another article where the story is completely different from this one written below, but even there God works in a mysterious way; if you would like to read it click on the link below. God works in a mysterious way
---------------------------

GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS EXAMPLES

Example, of how God works in mysterious ways.
Yes indeed God works in mysterious ways I can tell you that, because I have seen it happen to me; I can also say that God first of all uses all the natural forces to achieve what is needed to achieve, in order to explain what I have said, let me go back to my writings of Dreamland, which is a collection of my inside feelings that I have written and kept, in order to remember how these things came to pass, I call these writings my Dreamland writings; in these writings I am writing about religious dreams, normal dreams and daydreams, and also I have been writing about my love for a special woman, which I have fallen in love with, and as you all know to love and desire a woman in a sexual way is a sin unless she is your wife.
But in my case even knowing that it would have been a sin, the intensity of desire for this woman love is so great and painful that it drives me to pray to God in the hope that God grants me my heart’s desire, and at the same time I was asking why I had fallen in love so violently, and I was wishing to God that He would ease my unwanted love pains, and it is the prayer that I had to pray to God that makes all the difference. Because my prayer is very intense as it is driven by my love pains that are so intense, and by praying and praying again thus, slowly I became aware that God had made me fall in love with this special woman in order to make me pray and return back to Him; I hope you see what I mean, because here you can really say that God works in mysterious ways indeed, since I was led to a sinful state of mind, and from this same sinful state of mind the whole thing turns to religious beliefs. 


This is the statue of the Madonna that we carry in a procession in Genzano, I've carried the statue myself when I was in Genzano. Strange as it may seem the woman I have fallen in love with resembles this Madonna. Is this God's religious link for me?


Therefore, after what has happened to me, I have reasons to believe that God uses the forces of nature to turn things around, and in my case it really seemed to work. So, now by looking at what has been happening to me, I am sure that God has driven me through such a painful event, but at the same time a beautiful bitter sweet love event, in order to make me go back to Him.
You see, while I was going through this bitter sweet love event, at the same time I was praying God with all the strength of my heart, in such a way that my prayer were at least equal in strength if not greater than my love for this special woman, and all these prayers have driven me back to God, and this is what makes me believe that God works in mysterious ways.

These are God’s ways
Let me go over once again about my beliefs how God works in a very strange and mysterious way, because of these following reasons.
You see, here I would like to state once again, that the reason which made me start to write my religious writings, it was because during the later part of my life I have fallen in love with a beautiful woman. And I wanted so much to be able to reach her and win her love that I started to write, in the hope that by writing to her I would be able to reach out to her and win her love.
But then, nothing has ever happened about my dream of love, except that I was driven to write lots of love feelings and other things about this beautiful woman, I have also written so many love letters which I have never send them to her, but I have kept them in my ‘Dreamland’ writings anyhow; so that I could remember all those love emotions that I went through at that time.
Now, it follows that because I have been driven from the force of unwanted love to write my love writings, I have learned how to write a lot better than before this happened to me. Therefore now, because I can write much better to a certain degree, I know that most people would be able to understand me, therefore it is easier for me to write whatever I need to write, like these religious writings that I am writing just now?
Therefore, as a consequence of this unwanted love happening with no physical love and my writing about it, I feel and believe that it has led me to write about religion, so, when I think about what has happened to me and my dream of love, that dream of love that slowly changed to pains and prayers, and finally through these pains of unwanted love, and those prayer that I had to pray have led me back to God as you can see.
Therefore I have reason to believe, that God has set me up and made me fall in love with this beautiful woman, and God also made me believe that perhaps I could win the love of this beautiful woman by writing to her, and He made me believe that this would happen only if my writings could and would be well written. Because only then she would be impressed and would accept me, since she is a learned person herself and could not accept an ignorant person as her partner or friend.
Therefore I believe that God has made me dream a beautiful but painful dream of love, knowing that I would be driven by the powerful force of love from within myself, and driven from the pains of unwanted love which would never let me go even for a moment, during the time of this deep love emotions and loveless happening. So it seems to me that God has set me up, so that these love pains would drive me to start writing and learn enough how to write, and because I would have learned how to write, one day I would be able to write my own beliefs about God and religion, therefore, God has driven me back to him in his own mysterious ways to use me.
With this belief that I have written above in my mind which I believe to be true, and with the help of God that I pray to guide me in my religious writings of Prayers for Reconciliation, I will try to write my religious beliefs the way that I see them, hoping that God will help me in my effort, and I also hope not to say the wrong thing and upset anyone, because it is so easy to upset people when one says a new things.
So if within my religious writings I happen to say something that upsets anybody, it’s only because I haven’t found a better way to express my ideas, and I ask them in advance to forgive me. You see because my beliefs are partly different from the present existing religious beliefs, it is not going to be easy for me to express them without upsetting anybody. So I pray God to help and guide me do the right thing.
-------------------------------------

 My prayer to God

Now what I have been writing above is just one example of how God works in mysterious ways, and I hope it explains also the reason why I am writing this religious theory, and how God works in mysterious ways overall. But there are some other personal reasons as well and some of them will be written later on in these religious writings.
But as I have already said before, I feel driven from an unknown inner force that I have to write these religious writings, so, before I continue to write my religious writings, let me say a prayer to God who could help me write them, since God has driven me to write these religious writings in his own mysterious ways.
My prayer
Although this is a brand new prayer, because I am a Roman Catholic born and baptized, I would have to start praying thus:
In the name of the Father The Son and the Holy Spirit, Our Father who art in heaven, to you I turn God Most High, praying with all my heart, my soul and my mind; I am praying you who is Our Heavenly Father, hoping that the guiding force of The-Holy-Spirit on earth would help me to write these religious writing which I am writing here the correct and proper way according to thy universal benevolent and just will.
Almighty Father, The intention of my writings is that I would like my religious writing to help in reconciling all the world’s religions to each other, and to reconcile every living human being to the existing positive benevolent God life force of the universe, and then to all other living things according to thy will.
I believe that I should have named my writings, Reconciliation of the Universe, because of the signs that I have seen; since this angel from heaven has greeted me as the author of, Reconciliation of the Universe. But because my religious writings are being written for all the people of the world to read, understand and accept easily, I think that it would be better for everyone on earth if I call them for the present time at least, Prayers of Reconciliation, so that it also describe the set up of my religious writings, it also helps to make it easier to understand it, so that, not only well educated people could be interested in knowing my religious theory, but also nowadays normal simple educated people who might be interested in knowing about God and religion, could and would understand what I want to covey to them.
And then, if it happens that one day my religious writings should start bringing about religious reconciliation, and then slowly bring about universal religious reconciliation, then they could and would be called in their own rights, Reconciliation of the Universe, even though I guess that these writings here, could only be able to start the reconciliation process and perhaps reconcile some of the existing religious differences on earth and not the whole universe.
For these reasons that I have just said, I am praying you who is our Heavenly Father that through the ever present guiding force of The-Holy-Spirit on earth; you would guide me and help me to write only the right religious things in my religious writings:
Father, hear my prayer and let your ever present guiding force on earth help me to write these religious writings the correct and proper way! Father, hear my prayer; Amen.
Dear readers, now that I have written a couple of examples above, I hope you can see why I believe that God works in mysterious ways.

Our religious beliefs

MAN NEEDS GOD. We believe that, there is only one God throughout the universe and God is the universal life force that guides and gives life to the entire universe. Therefore every living thing is part of God life force, since God is the essence of all life in the universe, for this reason no living thing can exist without God life force.
-
Welcome to our blog, Man needs God
and this post, Our religious beliefs
-




We believe in the existing churches services and beliefs











We believe in the Holy Spirit of God who is the life giver of the entire universe.









 Our religious beliefs

What and why religious beliefs are important to us?
Mankind religious beliefs are those beliefs that we carry in our heart and mind. If we look at religious history, we will find that since the beginning of recorded times there were all sorts of religious beliefs, so, religion is a belief that mankind sought very early since the very beginning of known times, therefore, it would be right to assume that we have been searching since then for a reason why we are living here on earth, and even now we are still searching for that very same reason, and also for the creator of all living things including our lives.
So, some of us believe in creation, but here I have to say also that not everybody believes in creation and that there is a creator; because, some of us are still looking for that life-force that made life possible on earth including ourselves. Anyhow we have been searching and this endless searching throughout our lives has brought about to our present day religious beliefs, whether they are right or wrong we do not know?
Our religious beliefs are based on the fact that we want to know and acknowledge our own existence and from there we start asking questions. So the first thought that would come into our mind is that we ask ourselves, what’s the meaning of our life on earth?
This question brings up many more questions and also many doubts like: How and when our forbear’s lives started? Why are we living here on earth? Who gave us our lives? Is there really a god who gave us our lives? And if God is our life-giver what’s the meaning for us being here? And then again there are many doubts because what we have been taught from our forbears sometimes does not stand up to logic reasoning, so we keep asking questions hoping that one day we will know the answers.
What I have written above are the most eternal questions which mankind has always asked since we became homo sapient, so we really would like to know the answers to these questions. But up to nowadays it seems to me that a large portion of people are not satisfied at all, with the many religious explanations which they have received so far, so, they feel that they have been left with some doubts in their minds.
These doubts that we have about our beliefs may be due to the fact that we would like those religious explanations to run in a parallel way with our own thinking, as we will always compare those explanations with the knowledge that we have acquired ourselves nowadays, and therefore those explanations are not always satisfactory.
Nowadays most of us have been led to believe that God or the life-force that made life possible on earth resides in heaven, and we call this life-force God our Father or God Almighty and many other names. But most of mankind believes in this life-force in a slightly different way, therefore we are still searching for consensus about a single universal life force capable of creating, or helping to create our life on earth; so, if one day we are able to find consensus about our beliefs, then mankind will be better off for it. Because then mankind will not have any reasons to fight or argue about religious beliefs, and they would also be in a better position to follow God’s ways, because then they could make a collective effort to follow God’s life-force, so to speak.
Dear readers, I suppose you have already noted that sometimes I refer to God as a life force in the universe, I am doing this because that is the only way to get all existing religions together, you see a life force that somehow helps to create life is more acceptable to all parties concerned than my God or your God, I hope you see what I mean?

Explaining my position as a writer

Explaining my position as a writer of these religious writings
Dear reader I need to tell you this, before I continue writing about my personal religious beliefs; because I would like to inform you first of all and make this point very clear that I need to explain to you how I understand the Bible: because I would like to point out to you that within my writings of my future religious beliefs, it might sometimes seem to you as if I am wanting to rewrite part of the Bible; but it is not going to be that way at all, as I want only to explain to you how I see the Bible, so, I can assure you that it is not my intention to change anything. Because the Bible is the Bible and it is supposed to be written according to God’s own inspiration, or at least according to God’s inspiration at the time it was written? Therefore I do not intend to change anything at all not even a word, as it would be exactly right the way it has been written: But readers are warned that they have to make certain allowances, in order to understand the old Bible properly the way it has been written.
But there is a problem with mankind religious beliefs when one reads the Bible today, because one has to keep in mind, that, the style in which the various writers have written the Bible represents the times and the places and the needs of those days when the Bible was written; one needs also to keep in mind the capacity of the writers of that period and how they could express themselves openly, as they had to do it with what was the general knowledge of those times, it also had to be written in a way that the general public of those days could understand what the writers meant. Therefore for me and also for anybody else, to change anything written in the Bible would be wrong, not only because the Bible is at least partly God inspired, but also because it would interfere greatly with the general understanding of those times.
So, in order to understand the Bible properly nowadays, the modern readers have to leave behind their greater knowledge of nowadays, and imagine themselves to be at the same level of awareness as the writers and the people of those ancient times. Otherwise there would be usually a problem when people read the Bible today, and then try to compare it with today’s knowledge and values, and therefore they will be shocked that not everything is the way that one expects them to be. Having said that it does not mean that we have to accept what the Bible says with no reserve, but we have to look at ourselves and ask ourselves, if we had to write the Bible ourselves today what we would have changed? And also what sorts of theories we would put in place, so that the main stream would accept them?
Anyhow, there may also be another problem because some readers believe that only what’s written in the Bible is right, and everything else has got to be wrong: But they are making a great mistake, because they fail to see that the writer of those days could only write and express themselves in what they knew and was common knowledge of those days as I have said above, and therefore nowadays because we are more advanced, we understand a lot more about common knowledge, so there are events and also some expressions that might not make any sense to us at all.
Later on in my religious writings and in my writings of ‘Reconciliation of the Universe’, I would like to explain a bit more how I understand the Bible, and why some subjects are written the way that they have been written. Then I believe that I should try to make everything good at the end, by explaining that it could have been different, if a modern writer would have written that Bible subject: Therefore that part of the Bible that may seem to be misunderstood in my writings, is the way that I believe a writer would have written the Bible if he had to start writing it today.
Then there is also the fact that I have my own religious theory, which I am calling, Reconciliation of the Universe, it is something that I have been carrying in my soul, my heart and in my mind, and I believe that it could help to bring people back to believe in God and religion in the future therefore I have to try to put everything together and write that down, and pray that God will help me to do it the right way. Father, hear my prayer.
