Welcome to our article,
May God guide and help me say the right things?
Dear readers, we are writing several religious articles, because we want to find a way that makes sense. So, we who believe in God, are looking how religions can serve humanity better. Therefore, we are looking for an answer to today religious problems, like atheism and the terrorist attacks that continue happening, but I doubt whether we can do something about it. Whenever there are doubts in our minds the best thing to do, is to pray God to overcome our doubts, so, I am praying God for help and guidance to solve these problems.
My simple personal prayer
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 the ever-present
guiding force of the Holy Spirit on earth will guide me; So that, I can write
my religious articles according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and guide
me. Amen.
So, we are praying God, to find a way how to achieve what seems impossible to achieve. We say impossible to achieve because religious fanatics wage war using religion, which is shocking. Here we must admit that we cannot blame the atheists completely, when they say that religions are harmful. Anyhow, we believe that by discussing and praying God, we can come up with a suggestion that can solve some religious problems or minimize them. So, let us discuss that.
Friendly religious discussions.
I have asked my friends Mark, Gino, and others to come to a friendly discussion; My friends have arrived. Anyhow we greeted each other as friends do and Gino introduces his friend Peter to me, he seems a decent bloke to me, so, I hope he is interested in religious talks.
Anyhow, we go
inside chatting about unimportant things. We sit down around this table that I
have made ready, and while I offer them a drink, they all start nibbling from
what was on the table, then Gino seemed to remember the reason why we were
there and asked me. Frank, have you written anything about those religious
beliefs of yours?
Of course, I have!
To tell you the
truth I have written a whole religious chapter all by myself, which I am going
to let you read it. Anyhow, now that you are here, we can discuss religious
issues together.
If I remember right, a while ago we were discussing the end of the Bible, where it forbids any change to what the Bible says, therefore, if we believe the end of the Bible, we cannot change anything written in the Bible. Here I want to ask, if you have another opinion on that subject.
Well; no, I haven’t thought much about that, because of the things that are happening around us, and some of those things involve religions; Gino said. The same here; Mark said, however I have been thinking about the religious situation of today, so, I want to say what I think.
------------------------
Religious changes ahead.
What Mark said.
Here we need to think about today
religious problems; because they affect a large part of our life, so, it would
be great if we can find answers to these problems. But, as Gino has pointed out
to us, there are lots of things happening out there that need to be taken into
consideration.
My own personal experience makes me think that things are changing including
religions, it must be so, since a lot of things have changed in the last 50
years. So, to understand these issues better, we need to talk about the
religions in the past. Now, I want to point out that when I was a teenager, I
remember that the Bible was called the Sacred Scripture, and it was a sin for
anyone other than the priest to handle it or read from the Bible.
All this has changed, and today the Bible is available to the public; so, anyone can read the Bible; also, other religious books are available to the public to read. So, today it is only a matter of time before the general public learns what is written in the Bible. Then decide what can be true and what doesn’t make sense.
Anyhow, today most household have a computer, which helps to learn new things;
so, the computer is going to accelerate the changes, it is going to be like
other great events that have happened in the past, whenever there is something
that changes the way of thinking or doing things, great changes will follow, it is inevitable.
Now, let us take a look at discussion groups on the Internet.
There are hundreds if not thousands of groups; they are all discussing their
own agenda, some of these groups are not worth talking about. Anyhow, there are also groups which talk about religious beliefs; there
are groups discussing philosophy, which in a way can include religion because
religion is part of life; there are groups discussing evolution including
creation versus evolution; and there is a large group called, Atheism versus
Christianity.
The Atheists group is formed largely from well educated people, therefore, when
a discussion arises, they are able to put a strong case about their own
non-beliefs, so, the religious followers, which are less educated, are left in
a disadvantaged position. Because of this disadvantage, they can lose faith and
move away from their original religions. They change religions in some cases,
because they feel the need to believe in God. Changing religions can be even
worse, because they will encounter a different problem.
This makes me think about what is happening, today
there are these terrible news of the killing of innocent people from the
Islamic State, and for these reason the atheist can be attacking religions more
often, I believe that atheist are making a mistake in believing that the world
may be better off without religions. Because looking at the whole situation, I
have to say that God and man need each other, and that is the reason why
religions need to exist. You see, when these terrible things happen; God is
hope for those that need hope most. I hope you agree with me.
This is what Mark said, Gino was impressed and wanted to say something
himself:
Religious problems ahead
Gino sees religious problems ahead
Let me go back to one of our previous meetings;
where we were talking about the end of the Bible; because I have been thinking
what we said about the end of the Bible; you see, I feel worried about all
these religious issues, because they are complex for us simple people.
We would like to do something; but you see, it is
hard to do something that other people have ignored for thousands of years,
whether it was from fear of the consequences that could follow, or lack of
knowledge. Beside that you and I, including our friends here today, we are not
what you call highly educated people. I know that we can understand about everything,
and perhaps understand it better than somebody else, because we apply our own
reasoning mind when we must, we are also able to write something well enough
and be understood, but that may not be good enough to write what we need to
write here. You see, even religious writers try to avoid religious changes for
fear of getting it wrong, I hope you see what I mean.
Anyhow, for the time being I suggest that we must
read the Bible several times, and while we study the Bible, we should ask
ourselves, whether the meanings are clear and they say what we have been told they
mean; or there is another meaning to what we have been told, and decide from
that what to do.
We must also look at what is happening today in the
world, especially those things that are linked to religions, but we can discuss
those things another time; because this is all I want to say today.
This is how this religious meeting ended.
I believe that I have said enough in this article.
So, see you next article,
