Control
Let me first preface this by stating that I in no way mean to offend anyone by my statements. I respect all beliefs and I do not feel that anyone has to believe the same way that I do. This is simply my own observations.
I do have an extensive and prolific background in Christian Biblical Studies. However, that isn’t the only Religion I have studied although it was in my formal education.
The more I learn the more I understand the more I detest
the dishonesty of man.
If one looks at all religions one can see they all have a common theme about them ; fear, a ruling power or party, and mindless people who are too lazy or afraid to study anything other than what those in power tell them is proper.
There is always “a Prophet” who the Angels or God speaks to. That’s fine. I can understand and believe that until the commands God is saying start to contradict his previous statements and commands. Then one has to wonder “Ok is God saying this is is this so called Prophet saying this to gain something for himself?
Im angry at the audacity of
“The Early Church” for removing written texts they thought were irrelevant to keep in the Holy Book, yet clearly people today would gain knowledge or at least more understanding of what those people at that time already knew.
Im also angry that the Vatican has deemed itself the gatekeeper of all things religious or of religious nature.
Why does this group of men have so much power? We no longer need them to tell us what the Book says so why?
Do you think you need them for exorcisms? If so let me remind you that Jesus Christ was not a Catholic yet he called out Demonic spirits from the living.
I find that Islam and Judaism are kindred spirits in religion, although they will never admit it.
Where they part ways is when Mohammad the prophet asserts himself. Ok honestly I don’t like this guy, I have many Muslim friends, I respect you. I don’t agree with this guy he incited violence against anyone who wasn’t in Islam. A Jihad. Even today the extreme Islamists follow his teachings, not the word of God.
Ok so here’s where I tie all three together. At their core they all believe in God. That’s the good thing.
But folks, God is not nor was it ever a religion. All of the ancient civilizations have texts that speak about a creator, about love, how we have the love of our creator within ourselves and that energy/life force is with us always.
Meditation, using your energy to make life better for everyone around you that’s just good morals but it’s also a way of worshipping the spirit within
because it raises your “vibes” and makes life better all the way around.
In the beginning that’s what religion was meant to do. Man corrupted it.
Again please take no disrespect from my words because I am very sincere. I’m just trying to write this logically and not be emotional about it.
You have my deepest gratitude for reading and most sincere apologies if I in any way offended anyone.
