illuminazis are trying (hiring scientific elite) to brainwash people that joy and faith is actually a simple fluid in the brain.

FAITH IN GOD BLIND THE ALL SEEING EYE

ehh people are too powerful in their theories, their insabordination, their rebellion and in their minds for God to really want us to "know" him. Were probably just him sims that he put on fast forward while he went to go get a glass of milk

(Sims is a computer game; Simulated People)

Jezeebel has figured this out by using God giving common sense.

Animals are far better off because they cannot hate or be jealous or rage or sin because they do not have free will, the choice to decide wright from wrong. they portray Gods innocent nature and are a design of just how Innocent and good God is. And we can never figure this out when its so easy.

watch a cat, watch a dog, look how pure these things are and this is a taste of how pure God is.


We however have fre will, the choice to break from Gods mold and commit evil which is not in his nature.


Blaming God is also another form of free will and the lack of conscience which he gave us.



peace.

A weird thing for me is, that, I wonder why all these bad things are happening, why isn't God stopping them, etc etc...but then I also fully believe in God...and the Cross means a lot to me, and when you do good things you can feel it...but then..why doesn't God do just things, instead of sitting back...so many questions..so little answers...

I know my last post was a long one, so I'll redo the part pertaining to this particular question. Remember, it is just one possible answer.
I heard a good answer to the question "Why does God let bad things happen if He loves us?" The only answer I've ever heard that made any sense at all is this, God doesn't differentiate between "sins". Just because a violent attack on a child seems to us, as humans, to be far worse than a husband committing adultery, doesn't mean it is to God. They both cause pain, suffering, and unhappiness. The same people that cry "Why does God let this happen?" when some horrible sin is committed against an innocent life, would never want God to step in and break up an extra-marital tryst they were having, or stop them from lying to save their @ss. Violent crimes, no matter how impossible it is for us to comprehend or reconcile them, are all relative to the observer. If God sees all the offenses we commit against each other as the same, then He would have to treat them all the same. Since we don't want Him to intervene on sins that bring us pleasure, even though they may hurt someone else, why should He respond to sins that bring us pain. We can't have our cake and eat it too.

God is not human and is not controlled by human emotions and limitations. We have to choose to either follow our spiritual nature which directs us to love, respect, and help each other, or our physical nature, which contains temptation, greed, and pride. This does not mean one must follow fundamental Western theological beliefs. Only that one must follow their pure inner self, because that is our connection to God. That pure spirit, however, is usually overshadowed by our physical realities. The desire for wealth, fame, possessions, status, all have a strong power to override the essence of God, or the Cosmic Spirit, or whatever.

i dunno why everyone thinks god is a seperate being from anything, the idea that animals are showing god's purity is odd cuz animals have no choice of what they can feel or do(according to what ppl have said) and thus if animals are showing the purity of god, then we wouldn't bve able to have choice, unless we are not whole beings, because a whole being would be pure, thus not having choice, we're all one, we need to realize to evolve to the next density i think

So what I have gathered from everyone's response is this. There are a lot of different opinions and beliefs out there. Why should my question be " Is there or isn't there a GOD?" This is only 2 choices that I am limiting myself to. If I expand my way of thinking and look "outside the box" then possibilities are endless. Perhaps human beings CAN evolve to exhibit traits of "humanity". After all it is just exercising your mind that will allow new connections in the brain to be made and therefore enlarging an individuals ability to understand. So, I am tearing down my walls and now have more than just 2 doors to choose from.

u never have just two doors to chose from unless your a computer 1 or 0, is there god, is there no god and nothing, is there no god and a unified spirit force, is there no god and each human has a seperate spirit force, is there god and humans have a unified conciousness, are we here to learn about our spirit so we can use it in the 4th density? lots of doors

I HOPE YOU ALL READ THIS

We exist because God created us, period. We

are one of his many creations and our human

minds cannot even begin to contemplate the

complexities in this universe, just like an

ANT can not contemplate the solar system. We

think we know everything. God sent 3 main

Prophets, May Allah be pleased with them all.

The first message to mankind was the Torah,

second the Gospel (2000 years ago), and

thirdly the Quran (1400 years ago). Prophet

Musa was the one who brought the Torah to the

Jews, Prophet Jesus is one who brought the 2nd

book of God i.e the Gospel (too many types to

name so its whichever was not re-written by a

man). The current Bible is re-written so i am

referring to the Old testament i believe (

correct me if I am wrong). And the final

message because people back them were not

abiding by the rules, i.e drinking and idol

worshiping, i.e not going to prayer because

they were drunk or hung over, widespread

impurity over illegal sexual relations. The

Final message was the Quran. And im not the

most humble person in the world or anything

but i know what makes sense like the next

person. and after reading the Quran and the

Hadith (the lessons of the Last Prophet

Mohamed Peace Be Upon Him). You can clearly

see everything that was revealed. There are

things in the Quran that did not make sense

200 years ago, but God said that there are

proofs in there that each coming generation

will/ can relate too. I.e space travel, and

flights around the world, widespread murder

(where the person who murders is as puzzled as

the one he murders- neither knows why it

happened). I respect every religion in the

world and im not bragging in any sence Im just

an ex partier who has been searching and now I

have found it. There is no way someone like a

simple desert man could have known all the

complexites of the universe. No one understood

back them, but discoveries like the

understanding of the Iron core in the centre

of the earth, were not understood until now.

I.e. each generation is still learning things

from the Quran. I saw a Discovery Channel

explaining the same things I read in the

Quran. I.e God SENT DOWN iron from space and

plunged it into the earth, and built above

them 7 protectors. And if you count there are

7 levels of atmosphere, as well as 7 layers of

Earth (i.e Core, crust, inner core, mantel,

etc. However there are those of you that have

a seal over your heart and will not believe no

matter what. Im a person that will not believe

unless i can understand and investigate for

myself. I suggest you do the same, the last

days are near, it does not matter what

religion you are as long as you realize the

last days are near, and as we travel down this

spiral whirlwind of sinning and ignorance then

we are dooming ourselves. God created all

human beings from Adam and Eve and we shall

die and be resembled again down to our very

fingertips, (i.e fingerprints). And we will be

judged, and remember paradise lies between the

feet of your mother. The same rules apply.

The coming of the Last Prophet to humanity was

foretold in the Torah:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among

their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put

My words in his mouth; and he shall speak to

them all that I shall command him" Deuteronomy

18:18


Who in the Old Testament were the brethren of

the sons of Israel if not the sons of Ismael?

(descended from Abraham's first wife Hagar at

the well of Zam Zam at Makkah called Bakkah in

those days) Who else could have been the

Prophet like unto Moses? Who was more similar

to him than the Prophet Muhammad?

The prophecy in Bible has been fulfilled by

the advent of Prophet Muhammad. Jesus says in

the Bible, John 16:7 and 16:13:
"If I go not away, the Comforter will not come

unto you, but if I depart I will send him unto

you ...We will guide yo

To Mooseofterror :
It's not my way to use religion in order to define my fellow human being
but I use my faith as a blue print to guide me to run my daily secular life.

From my faith I learned to LOVE & RESPECT every human being on earth
Without any kind of descrimination. My motto is "LIVE & LET LIVE"
I find this interested video on Google & it's about 15 minutes and it's two
parts answers for two question and the answer to your question comes in the second part because the first part is about RAPE.

I would argue that we are all agnostics: atheists are realists, religious-types are dreamers.
