Those with wisdom will know it's true ,
Do not rebel, do not see your parents failings as gods failings , do not see your societies failings as God's failings . Read the scripture for yourself and fill your mind , and body with the word of God. Then you will learn not to question the all planner , for how could you when you do not know the unseen.
Most speak of the scripture but have not read it and meditated on it as a whole body of wisdom.
Those who question it think themselves smart but have not had the intelligence to learn the merits of humility
You think you reward is here on Earth but really it lies in the hereafter. We are being tested.
The devil made the world like this to break men like us
So go forth with the name of our Guardian in your hearts and minds , live your life and stand for the light
Amen
God gave us minds capable of logic and reason, then tells us not to use them - but only have faith. Eh, no thanks, that's not a god I want to worship.
If he had made us dumb, ignorant and incapable and told us to believe in the unseen then that's an easier sell.
You have consumed too much hollywood propaganda ,as though man can do anything without sanction, it's God who let's you keep your eyes and ears, hands and legs , its him who prevented us from blowing ourselves up nearly a million times - explain how we aren't all dead yet, he balances the equation so his plans always come to pass,
This world is one bad day away from chaos and he is the backstop
If only you knew,
YOU ARE JUST A PART OF HIM, like a droplet away from the ocean your opinion counts for little
Doubt him and maybe you get away for now but I'm not so sure in the long run
Be not arrogant be humble
You sound very arrogant, supposing that you know the mind of god. I'm just a humble doubter.
I don't need to downvote you
You yourself say how smart and brilliant man is, yet you do not wonder how at random we got here , you do not give thanks for that and all the kindness you receive everyday from the perceived hand of chance which is really the veiled hand of God
I'm not arrogant I'm proud
If you believe I said those things then you're being emotional and I see no reason to continue this conversation.
You sound very arrogant. You seem to presume to be all knowing? For otherwise, how could consider yourself smart by the standards held to God?
We are given logic so we may learn and function within the laws of the universe. Not to understand the why of it. That requires faith.
Amen
Humans are not even in their adolescence, the word of God is like advice received from cherished elders
Either we can use our minds to see the light or use our minds to delude ourselves
Nothing you said in this reply applies to me. I never claimed any of that.
I am trying to point out your assumptions are based on shaky ground. You assume that having faith is from lack of logic. When I say, you cannot know God's understanding (ie. why - it is too vast, so you cannot know - thus you either do as you are advised, or you do not, but you cannot know - so you are in need of faith) - Having logic is not a reason to lose faith - it is a reason to have it....
Amen
