Man needs and God
Welcome to our page ((4) (101) man needs and God

Man needs and God
Dear readers,
this religious hub is number 101, I am saying this because I have already
written one hundred religious hubs in Hub Pages. As you already know we have
been studying, discussing and writing religious issues for a while.
Now, while we
have done that, by observing all these religious things that we have done
together, we have come to certain religious conclusions, one of which is that
man needs God and religions to function better during his life; anyhow we have
learned so much during our studies; but even though we have learned so much and
we have modified our religious beliefs accordingly, we need to learn and
discuss other things as well.
But first of
all, we would like to say that today, we have almost finished to write our
religious theory of “reconciliation of the universe”, So, we are looking at
what we have achieved so far; here we have to say that we have had a limited
success, since only some of our religious articles seem popular enough to be
called a success. I believe that for people to change their point of view about
religious beliefs is not easy. So, starting form today, I am writing this other
hub to start doing just that, so in this hub we are going to discuss man needs
and God, but we are going to write them more in line with the existing
religions.
I know and you
know that these religious issues have been there for thousands of years, and
what we are saying now has been said many times before, from our previous
generations; but our previous generations were talking about those religious
issues that were present at that time; today a lot of things have changed, so
we have different issues to discuss and solve. I believe that everyone of us
has the duty to put forward his/her own beliefs, on how today religious issues
could be solved.
We all know
that today the entire world has many problems, one of the main problems seem to
come from some religious extremist, because their religion was set in such a
way that is hard to change anything, even knowing that the need of the people
has changed, these old religions will not allow any changes.
We believe that
religions, religious rules and the existence of God, they came about because
man needs God and religions. You see that is the reason why, there are several
religions in the world today; but today, the world could be better served if
there is only a single religion.
We have tried
to describe how all religions could be liked together, but not many people have
expressed their opinion on our religious theory. However, there are a few people
that put forward their own theory, about the existence or the non-existence of
God. Some people go as far as saying that God may not exist, so, it was Mother
Nature that made it happen the way it is now, or they believe that God and
Mother Nature are the same thing.
So, here under
I am going to quote from Nature dunnit!!!!, what this Hub Pages Writer
A. Villarasa has posted a couple of weeks ago. A Villarasa posted and compared
several issues in his article, which are very interesting to me, since I am
writing about God and religions, and this gives me an opportunity to have my
say, so, we are going to quote these issues and at the same time, we will
comment in between and express our own view about what is being said.
-------------------------------------
Nature dunnit!!!
In this
sub-article that we could call Nature and God, we are going to compare what
this hub writer A. Villarara wrote and how they compare to our own beliefs. So,
let us start with the first quote:
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote one.) The
pantheists among us believe that Nature and “God” are the same thing, thus the
natural world that we are now discerning and discovering was created by Nature
itself…a self-creating entity so to speak. This contention is supported by
naturalists who believe that “ONLY natural (as opposed to supernatural or
spiritual) laws and forces operate in the world…., and further, that natural
laws are the rules that governs the structure and the behaviour of the natural
universe, and that the changing universe is at every stage a product of these
laws.” (End of quote one)
(Our
say;) To believe about what the pantheists believe in; in our own views is
helpful, because they do not eliminate God completely, but at the same time
they view their God has having a less important role than the theists do,
according to their religious beliefs. So, in a way their views of God, in our
own beliefs and understanding comes closer to us than how the existing
religions want us to believe in. You see, we believe that man need God, since
has been so from the very beginning.
------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote two.) Theists on
the other hand challenge the idea that nature contains all of reality; they
view natural laws not as the primary cause of creation, but rather the laws
promulgated by a Primary creative/intelligent source, (totally unrelated to
nature., thus supernatural) to govern what the primary source has created, i.e.
Nature. (End of quote two)
(Our say;) The
theist are those people that believe in all those religious beliefs that exist
today; therefore, they believe just about anything that is written in the
Bible, if they are from the Christian religion, or any other religious book
according to what they believe.
Our own view
here is that we are not extremist theists, so, we would like to suggest as we
have done already in our religions writings that God might indeed have been the
primary cause of creation, but not to the extent that is written in the Bible.
We believe that God is the positive life force energy that exists in the
universe, and that God has a mind of his own. So, God could have started life
on earth with his life energies and then let mother Nature do the rest. If we
believe that both God and Mother Nature worked together, then it would be
easier to link everything together. Because, as we have said above, man needs
God, because it has been so from the very beginning of time.
---------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote
three;) The empiricists among us have dutifully/ serenely forwarded the concept
of the Big Bang as the initial event that led to the formation of all that is
material and physical in the universe… thus confirming the idea that the
universe had a beginning and would therefore likely have an end. If the
universe had a beginning, and Nature and its laws created and subsequently
formed the universe we now see, could we then say that Nature was there even
before the Big Bang. If so, in what form could Nature have been, before it
started to create the universe? (End of quote three)
(Our say;) In
our religious quest that we are writing here, we are only trying to answer the
question about the existence of God and why man needs God, by looking at what
information is available around us these days. Therefore, we cannot answer the
question about the Big Bang; but I would like to point out from what I
understand, the Big Bang that created the solar system and our galaxy does not
need to be the original Big Bang that started everything; because it could be
that in the entire universe there have been several Big Bang already that have
involved only part of the universe.
-----------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote four;) One very
imaginative Hubber, suggested forcefully that in his conceptualization, Nature
was a self-contained form of ENERGY, that during its expansion accumulated
enough mass that then led to the production of all material things in the
universe. Thus no need for a GOD.
If Nature did it all by its lonesome
self, why would it create sentient life (that’s you and me) when by its very
ontological composition, nature is NOT sentient? (End of quote four)
(Our say;) This
very imaginative Hubber has his own views of how everything came about, at the
very beginning of time. Perhaps some of his theory might be correct, one can
never know; but does it help us to solve the question about the existence of
God, or the need why humanity needs God? I don’t think so. But it is an
interesting way to keep in mind, when we want to talk about what other people
might think about God and the universe.
-------------------
(Nature Dunnit!!!, Quote five;) Alfred
Russel Walace, an avid evolutionist (and together with Charls Darwin,
co-elucidator of natural selection as it relates to the evolutionary process)
diverges from the path of total materialism and naturalism, when he concluded
that natural selection alone was insufficient to account for a set of uniquely
human characteristic, the most obvious of which is the size and complexity of
the human brain. Subsequently he proposed that some other entity had to be
involved, in order to explain the existence of a brain, that could support the
intellectual activities of humans in all cultures, time frames, environments,
and predicaments.
That other entity he proposed was a
supernatural one. (End of quote five)
(Our say;)
Alfred Russel Wallace might indeed be right that there need to be a
supernatural entity that make life possible the complex way it is. We agree with
his views and believe that Mother Nature and God have worked together, since
the very beginning of time and the result of which is here today; there is life
on earth including us human that would like to know everything around us, we
are very inquisitive.
Anyhow, here
above we have talked about many things, some of which are about the existence
or the non-existence of God, we believe that God exists, and one of the reason
why God exists, it is because we need God to exist.
-----------------------------------
We need God to exist
We believe that
we need God to exist, because we like to have a God as our spiritual father,
since this makes us feel better. It is like this; we are attracted to this
belief of having a God. Anyhow, we have discussed this issue above and many other
spiritual and religious things, some of which could be said that they are new
beliefs that could help humanity in the future. But they seem to be somehow
removed from the main stream religious beliefs of today; because even though we
have tried to explain that they are liked to our present religious beliefs,
they are not the same old beliefs, as it is a new way of seeing religious
issues.
One of the most
interesting things that we have found, while we were studying and writing
religious issues is that we need a God to help us exist, so that we feel that
we have a meaningful life. So, we have decided that from now on we need to
write religious issues, in a way that most people believe in already, as we
would like to discuss our own spiritual life in a modern way, which would be
able to links our new religious beliefs to the old beliefs. Some of these
beliefs have always been there, but sometimes we miss the point of seeing them
what they are and what they might mean.
You see religious
beliefs are very hard to understand. Some people believe in prayers and in the
law of attraction; so, they are willing to believe that: whatever you pray to
God and ask for, believe, and you shell receive it. Well something like that
has even been said from Our Lord Jesus Christ. But I believe that Our Lord
meant spiritual things and not material things.
Talking about
Our Lord Jesus Christ, he also said these following phrases:
“The Father and
me are one”
“Of myself I
can do nothing”
“It’s the Father
within that does the work”
Does this mean
that we carry within us this spiritual force that will help us do the right
thing, because he also says;
“The kingdom of
god is within”
“It is the
Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”
As I have said
it is very difficult to understand some religious issues. But it always comes
down that we feel better if we have a God to follow, life seems easier that
way.
So, we need God
to exist. Because we like to believe in God. So, from now on, when we write
some religious articles, we are going to write them, in such a way that they
are linked with the old way of beliefs and the new emerging way as well. So
that, it could help to link them together.
I believe that
I have said enough in this article, so see you in our next article, whenever I
have something important enough to say.
May God bless
us all?
