Gino's comment

When people have meetings, they discuss many things, so everybody can have their say. In this post Gino one of the people at the meeting, is talking about what has been said at the meeting.

Gino's comment

These are Gino's comments

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, comments on Mark speech, where we said that we were going to ask Gino to comment, and this is what Gino said:

Let me talk about Mark speech first: I must say that Mark and I agree on most of these religious issues, so, there is no point in repeating them, I only would like to say a bit more about the last group of people who we call the atheists, as they need to be noted about their ways of thinking and speeches, especially when they try to ridicule the religious believers. I would say that any religious believer should avoid talking to any of them about religious matters, because soon or later those atheists are inclined to ridicule the religious beliefs of the believers, and because, they are usually good intelligent people, it is hard for any average religious believer to defend themselves from this group.

They attack believers usually by asking proof of the existence of God or any religious matter, so, Mark is right when he calls them the danger group of religious beliefs. We really need to think hard how to defend ourselves from this group, if we want to save religions and keep religions as close as they are today. Let me show you a few examples about what they usually talk about to get the believers off guard.

You believers say that God is Omnipotent, now if God is omnipotent then God should be capable to do anything at all no matter how difficult the task is.

Now, there are many things in the world that need to be fixed, why your God does not fix them? For these reasons, we say that your God most likely does not exist at all; and/or if God exists He is definitely not omnipotent, or he is not willing to fix anything, so, your god is not your fatherly benevolent God that you say he is. Therefore, your religious beliefs are flawed and you would be better off if you don’t believe in your God.

And they continue, we say and believe that we are right to assume that there is no God and religions are there only to control people. But that is not all that we want to say, because there is more to say about religious beliefs. You see, when we see that religions in a way fight with each other’s; then we believe that it would have been better if religions did not exist at all. Do you see what we atheist mean? For these reasons, we believe that there is no God.

This sort of reasoning goes on with many god’s attributes and they challenge the believers to give proof of the existence of God and its attributes. So, it is hard for any believers to give proof of God and its attributes. How can any believers give proof about God?

And god omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and many other God attributes?

This is how the atheists attack any believers with this sort of reasoning; they do that because for the atheists God and religion would be better if they did not exist. What can be done to change their attitude is hard to say. But then if nothing is done it can result in more harm to the community, because they will slowly make the believer deny their God. If that happens, then whatever religious guidance and restrains that religions have on the average believer will be lost, so, the world will be worse off, because of this denial of the existence of God and religions, this is what I wanted to say about Mark speech.

Now, let me see what I can say about what you just said Frank, I can see that you are trying to find a possible solution, but what sort of solution you could find you don’t know yet, it is just as I was saying it is hard to know what can be done; I have to say that there are times when I think that today’s religions are missing the point, they don’t know how to keep the people believing what they have always believed; because times are changing, but religions are not changing at all, as religious leaders fail to see the need to change.

Therefore, I understand you Frank when you say that something needs to be done, and I say also that perhaps it is time to do something about it and find a way around it. Looking at what has been said, I see something that perhaps can be done, so, may I suggest that we start to read the Bible bit by bit and comment among ourselves how many interpretations can we give to that part of the Bible, it might turn out that there are interpretations that can apply to these modern times.

I hope I have explained myself clear enough in this difficult religious task.

------------------------

Your speech is clear enough for me I said; then I turned to Mark and asked: what do you think of Gino speech Mark? His speech is very clear for me too (said Mark); in fact, it is just about what I would have liked to say myself. But now, where do we go from here I don’t Know?

I suppose I need to say something myself now about what we have talked about; what I see here is the need to review what is written in the Bible, and also think hard if what has been written in the Bible had the right meaning at the time it was written the first time, but today it may not apply any more, and therefore, we may need to adjust these religious things, as the needs of the day suggest. So, let me write my own comment.

--------------------------------------------

Frank's comment

FRANK THE WRITER COMMENT

Mark and Gino, now that we have talked about many religious issues, in these religious discussions that we are having, and what you have found for yourself, while you were talking to the people about religious subject, what religious people think and what atheist think, I hope that you may have changed your previous opinion, and therefore, now you might be thinking more like me; which is that something needs to be done to help religions find a way of peaceful existence, if peaceful existence can ever be found one day.

But at the same time, we have to agree that to achieve complete peaceful existence is not easy, because the way religions are today, therefore, I believe and I hope also that you agree with me that religions need to be reviewed and brought in line with the present times, which embrace many changes in all sorts of issues. Having said that, I have to say that at this present time nobody wants to listen to our religious approach, so, there is not much that we can do presently; but one can always start thinking about the possibilities, if one day something could be done to solve this religious problem for good.

In order to do that, let us imagine anything at all that could be able to help us achieve that, let our thinking minds run free with no limits imposed on them, let the sky and beyond be the limit, so that, we are free to think about anything at all.

If we do all this above, then, I believe that the only way that this could be achieved is to come up with a religious theory, which allows the existence of all religions as they are today; but at the same time finds a way and be able to show it clearly to the people that all religions are one link of the same religious chain, which links religions together, at the highest spiritual point possible; if we are able to do that, then it might be possible to do something about it. I know this is not as simple as it sounds, but if we keep looking for it we will find the way to show people that.

While searching the Internet, I have found that there was a philosopher called, Baruch Spinoza, 1632-1677 who believed that it is more likely that God may not be just the way that religions want you to believe nowadays; but it could be that God was more like Mother Nature therefore it is more likely that we are all part of God, and God is everything, or at least every living thing in existence is part of God.

So, let us see what this sort of reasoning takes us; Let us assume that God could not be exactly how we have been thought God is like today; then it may well be that God is more like what Spinoza believed God was like, this may very well be the link that we need to find, in order to link all existing religions together.

Therefore, if we think a bit like Spinoza and add to the knowledge which we have today, we might be able to describe a god which could co-exist with all religions together.

So, let us put out minds together and see if we can describe this God for everybody; which we could call God-Most-High. Mark and Gino, what do you think of my idea?

My friends Mark and Gino said; well, it seems a bit strange to us, but your idea is an idea and it might even work somehow, so, let us try to make a list of how this god-most-high could be; just to see if we are able to find a way to Spinoza ways of thinking about, what is God?

Very well I said; you see, a while ago I was thinking this same thing, so I have already written something about, what is God? So, I am going to show you soon what I wrote:

Looking at the many things that we have discussed in this article, I think that we have said enough already in this article, but we will continue with these same religious discussions in next article called, God and the atheist; see you there.

May God help us find the right religious way? For this reason, I will be praying God to help me with this prayer:

Almighty Father, I am praying you with all my heart, my soul and my mind hoping that in your mercy you would guide and help me write these religious writings, Father hear my prayer, amen.

May God bless us all?

Comments on Mark speech

When we want to know what other people think, we have a meeting, where we discuss and comment on each other views. This is very helpful if we want to find a solution to some problems, which can be personal problems, or any other problems, in this case here, we are talking about religious views, so, let us follow what is being said.

Comments on Mark speech

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post called, God is hope for those that need hope most, where we reached the end of Mark speech and we were going to comment on his speech, so, here is the comment on Mark speech.

My comment on Mark religious’ speech

Now, let me see if I got it right, so, let me say something about what you have just said Mark; and then of course I am going to say how I see religious issues these days:

Looking at what you have just said, we agree with you about this erratic people behavior about religions. So, when we take all these things in consideration, it seems to me that overall today people are not so sure about religions anymore, or at least we could say that they are not as sure as they were in the past. Therefore, because of this people behavior, as we can see today religions are not as powerful as they used to be in the past, because people just don’t believe everything religious leaders tell them. Because they want to know and understand religions for themselves, so, they start thinking and ask themselves what are religions for? Because of this trend there are many who doubts about the value of religious beliefs altogether, so, they are splitting up in smaller groups, in a more definite way, and everybody tries to be with their own mates that believe about the same religious things.

Because of this present religious movement, there are some extremist groups like the atheists, as Mark has pointed out that do not believe in God at all; this group would like to see that God and religions disappear from the face of the earth altogether, because of their non-beliefs in God. I have to say that these atheists might even succeed one day in bringing all religions down, if the rest of the world doesn’t do anything to stop this movement that wants to bringing down religions. If that is the case, what the good citizens of the world should do to restore a balance that would prevent this event happening, one may ask? Since we believe that God and religions are useful to all humanity.

Therefore, the people of this world need to do something about it, because there are reasons to believe that it would result in a great religious chaos, if we let the atheists have their ways. For these reasons I believe that the world cannot afford to suddenly stop believing in God and religions and follow the atheist’s views; even though we have to admit that there are things that might not be right in religion, but, we still need God and religions.

For this reason, I suppose we should think about something that could help everybody in this community continue with their religious beliefs, after all religions are still important enough even today, because as Mark said; Religion and God is hope for those who need hope most.

Perhaps we should look at the reasons why these atheists are what they are today. We can only assume that religions as they are taught today, they don’t make sense to most of us anymore, because most times religions really don’t make sense even to us believers; but religious leaders still want people to believe what they believe or what they want us to believe even when it cannot be explained by common sense, as they would like to continue with religions just the way they are and have been, so that, they would be able to control the public through religious beliefs.

Looking at what we have just said, one has reason to believe that this religious leaders attitude is perhaps part of the reason why people are moving away from religions. Having said that, this question now arises; if we want this movement to stop happening to religions what can we (the believers) do about it?

Well, what we can do, I suppose is hard to say; but we have to look closely at all options that we have, and then, decide what could be done. Personally speaking for myself, I believe that we should review the ways that religions are being taught today, we need to learn what the future generations would like to see in religions and what they would like to change in order to still believe in God and religions. Perhaps the best way is to continue to study existing religious beliefs to see whether they could mean something else, or if they could have a double meaning, and then, choose the meaning that would not drive people away from religions. What I have just said is one of the reasons that we would like to sort out in the future, while we continue to write these religious writings. I think I have talked about most of my religious views of today.

Then I turned to Gino, and said: Now that we have heard what Mark had to say and you have also heard my views on it, what do you think of our speeches? And what have you found out for yourself? You can say what you want now it is your turn to speak.

I believe that this post is already long enough, so, we will be writing about Gino’s speech in our next post called, Gino’s comment

God is hope for those that need hope most

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED FOR ANY BELIEVER TO DISCUSS RELIGIOUS MATTERS, SO IT IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO BROWSE AND TAKE PART.
-
Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, God is hope for those that need hope most.
-
God is hope for those that need hope most
-

Our Lord Jesus Christ, the greatest man that ever lived on earth, he came down to earth to give us hope. He was a religious teacher and God. Jesus Christ changed some religious meanings and simplified religion, so, we should thing that religions can be changed. 

God is hope for those who need hope most

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of a previous post, religious reasons and prayers, where we were having a religious meeting. Where one of our friends was going to talk about, what he had found by asking people their religious views, since we had asked him to talk about it. So, he answered us this way.

Well, I am glad you asked; I would say that most of the people that we have talked to, they are not interested talking about religious things willingly, and those who are talking, have expressed themselves in many ways; but let me break these people beliefs in groups so to speak, so that, a better picture can be seen?

So, first I have to say that a lot of people believe in God and religion just the way it is today. You see, since most religions have been the same for thousands of years, they are used to these religious beliefs; so, this portion of people does not want any change in religion, as they are happy to stay with the ways religions are nowadays, and if they have any doubts in their minds they are not showing it. So, it would be a waste of time to talk to them unless you agree fully with their religious beliefs, and you talk to them, just to have a chat and be friendly.

There is also a portion of people that have doubts about today’s religions, so, they are ready to talk about their religious beliefs and doubts, some of these people don’t feel sure whether what is being taught about religion today is the right thing to do. So, they ask themselves many religious questions, but they have no answers for any of those questions. They are religious believers, but they have some doubts in their mind and heart. You can talk to this group of people and they talk to you willingly, but they are not much help either, if you want to find out anything, or to formulate any new religious ideas.

We have also noted that right in the middle there is this large group of people, which believe in God and religions only up to a certain point, these people usually would like to know more and ask all sorts of questions, in the hope that they could find their way, how to return to religion fully one day, as they seem to feel that religion is still important to them in many ways; sometimes these people seem to want to follow religion just to have a sense of belonging to a group, as they like to have friends and religion gives this religious link to them that helps to have some friends.

Then there is at the extreme end of this middle group those who believe very little in religion as it is today, so, they are asking too many questions themselves about religions, they are agnostic as they believe and at the same time don’t believe in God and religions, one does not know what to do with this group, and yet they are the most interesting group, just because they would like to know more. That is all there is in this middle group.

And then, there is this last group of people, which today I would call the danger group for religion and religious beliefs, they are the atheist, they don’t believe in God and religions at all, so, for them it would be better if religions did not exist. They are usually very intelligent people and have a good job, so, for them there are no worries in life, therefore, they don’t see the need of God and religion to help them with their lives, like some less fortunate people do. Now, because they don’t need God and religions, as they feel secure within themselves; this well to do group starts putting forwards all sort of stories, in order to blame religion for some of the bad things religions have done in the past. They would also talk about religious extremist to run down religions, since these religious extremist kill in the name or their God. (Anyhow, today I don’t want to talk about the religious extremist, because this would change my main view of how I see religions;) so, I am saying that these people don’t see that mankind have only to blame themselves, because no real religion tells its believers to directly kill, or do anything else that may harm anyone.

But then, also attached to this well-educated atheist group, there are a few people that are poor uneducated people and they don’t believe in God just to protest their bad luck, as they are not happy about what the world is giving them, so, they see the need to believe only in themselves; now, because of this belief they may become the worst sort of mankind, because they don’t have any respect for humanity, and also they don’t have a God or religion or any other sort of inbuilt restrain within them. I could say more about this group but I think it is better that I stop here and see what you think about it all.

Having said all this about religions; I would only like to add what I have learned from all these enquiries; and I want you to remember how I see religion now, as this may well be important from now on, if we are going to talk about religious issues, because I believe that religions are important to keep, even if one day they might need to be modified. Religions might not be a universal human belief, as we have seen in the example of the atheists; but God and religions are still needed today for those people that are unfortunate, as they feel within their heart that they need God to protect or help them. For this reason, God and religions are needed, because; God and religion is hope for those who need hope most.

So, remember that;

Religion and God is hope for those who need hope most.

I said, very well said Mark! And so did Gino at the same time.

I believe that I have said enough in this post, so, see you in our next post, where we will comment on Mark speech.

May God bless us all?

Palms and Easter 2017

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED FOR ANY BELIEVER TO DISCUSS RELIGIOUS MATTERS, SO IT IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO BROWSE AND TAKE PART.
-
Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, Palms and Easter 2017

-

This is what we commemorate at Easter. We the Roman Catholic and other Christian religions follow the event of the death of our lord Jesus Christ. And then his resurrection.




Palms and Easter 2017

Dear readers, I am writing this post instead of our usual post, because in blogger we can post what we like, even if it is an article that has been published somewhere else, or has been rejected, because it may not be in line with rule of the site we want to publish. So, in a way I am posting this post, to keep a record of what I have written.

Anyhow, today I wanted to write this religious article, because soon it will be Easter, so, I was going to write this article, where I would have liked to tell you all the good religious things, that happen in this religious feast, but it is not going to happen like that, because of the horrible things that religions inflict each other’s these days. Here I am talking about what has just happened in Egypt.

I have always believed that religions should stand for doing the right things: here I want to say that religions should be a set of rules, written in such a way that the entire world should benefit, and not just a group of people. Any religion that does not fulfil that role is not a good religion. Today there is also this additional issue, because today the entire world is going global, also religions need to go global; for religions to work and satisfy the need of the people. For this reason, those religions that do not allow for globalization should be modified, but religious leaders don’t even think about it, because they want to follow their religion the old way, which allows them to control the people, even when controlling people in certain ways is wrong, but there are even more bad things here. In fact, I am shocked from what is just happened recently in Egypt.

One has to ask, does the world realize what has happened now? Two Christian churches have been bombed, 45 people have died, and 125 injured. What hurts most is that the people that have caused this disaster are religious fanatics, of another religion.

Having seen all this happen, one can only say that there is something very wrong, in this Muslim religion, since some of their believer practice so much violence, and worse still is that they believe that their God Allah wants them to kill other people. What other proof the world needs, to prove that this religion is a fake religion, since they twist their religion any way they want. But perhaps, I dare say that this Muslim religion may even be okay, if the faithful follow it the right path only, in other words, they should use their common sense, which would usually forbid any violence.

Anyhow, if the religious fanatics continue to follow all those things that harms other people, then this religion is not worth the paper it is written on. This would also affect their God Allah that allows them to use his name doing the wrong things. Because they would bring their God Allah down to their level. When I believe that Allah is a righteous God, and does not like what they do.

You see, it stands to human understanding, that a God should be well above our human needs, and does not need to kill other people, or wants his own people to kill other people. If there is any spiritual entity that wants to kill people, then this spiritual entity is not a God, it cannot be, because God represents life, and therefore should protect life. Therefore, in my opinion, those people that go out to kill other people are completely nuts, especially when they believe that they will go to paradise when they pass away.

But let us stop here talking about these very violent deeds, and let us see here under, what other religions believe in, specially the Christian religions, since that is the religion that I would know most. I believe that some religions would be better than this Muslim religion that allows violence, just because, their religious rules condemn violence more openly.

The Christian religions

So, let us compare, this violent deeds that we have talked about, to the Christian religions. Because, it is so wrong what has happened in Egypt to these two Coptic Christian churches. But what hurts most is that the people that have caused all these deaths and hurt so many people are religious people. For any Christian religious believer, what has happened on Palm Sunday is so painful and disgusting, because Palm Sunday is perhaps the greatest day of peace for any Christian religion. It is the day that our Lord Jesus Christ enters Jerusalem, riding a donkey, while the population brings these olive branches and other palms in the sign of peace. So, this day is supposed to bring peace, as I am going to explain in the following example.

Now let me point out this to you, in Southern Italy in the town that I come from, the way that we celebrate Palm Sunday is to make peace, this could extend even to your enemies, if you want. So, let me explain what we do this special Sunday, first we go to mass taking with us a small olive branch, where the priest after celebrating mass blesses these olive branches or anything green that you have brought with you. Now, this is only the beginning of how the people behave on Palm Sunday; because after the mass when the blessing ends, the people going out of the churches, exchange some of their palms in the sign of peace, once that is over you may call to the house of some relative or friends, if you haven’t met them at the church. Now, let me add this personal note, when I was young, after the church service I went home, my mother would ask me if I had gone to our closest relative to exchange this palm, because this would be a sign of respect for the relative elders. But there is also more, if you had a girlfriend this was a good time to exchange the blessed palm, and have a small talk, you see in those times boys and girls were kept at a distance, so, this was a good excuse to talk to her; and then again, if you were engaged, you should really go to buy a small golden olive branch from the Jeweller’s shop, take it to church to be blessed and then give it to you fiancé`. So, Palm Sunday was a very peaceful, happy and interesting day.

But those were the good times, when everything was done the old peaceful ways, which in my opinion were very good times to live in, even if in the small towns that we were living in, boys and girls were kept at a distance, and the religions that we were following had a lot to do with this tradition.

Now that we have explained, how we were living the old times and what we did on Palm Sunday, we are going to talk about what has happened in Egypt, and other things that could follow that happening.

-----------------------------

What has happened in Egypt?          

As we have already said, we have been shocked from what has happened in Egypt, but the worse part of it all, is that this violence could be repeated, we hope not, but it is hard to say what could happen next.

Anyhow, since then a few other things have happened, and the pope has been in Egypt, while he was there he has tried to calm down everybody, in the name of all religions, So, we hope that what he has done could help.

I believe that this is what I want to say, so, see you next time with another post.

May God bless us all?

Religious reasons and prayer

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED FOR ANY BELIEVER TO DISCUSS RELIGIOUS MATTERS, SO IT IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO BROWSE AND TAKE PART.
-
Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, religious reasons and prayers
-
Other religious reasons and prayer
-

We feel that need to pray. One might say that praying is an inborn force that guide people to pray God, you see God is hope for those that need hope most; so, when I pray it is this same force that guides me to pray to God? We should believe also that, when we pray God hears our prayer and answers it, in his own time and in his own ways.

We believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest man that ever lived on earth, he was a religious teacher and God. Jesus Christ changed some religious meanings and simplified religion, so we should thing that religions can be changed.

Other religious reasons and prayer

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, my prayer to God, where we were saying that we are going to suggest something that might help in the future. So, let me try to explain a bit more, you see, what I have written in our previous posts, is only part of the reason why I am writing these articles, because there are other personal religious reasons as well, I suppose you may be asking yourself why this has happened to me. So, let me first inform you dear readers, the reason why I started to write these religious writings. I would say that it has been for my own personal reasons, why I have started to write these religious writings, you see, I have been writing them as my personal prayer to our spiritual Father God Most High, which I pray from the bottom of my heart, my soul and my mind, I pray every day of my life, while I am happy and while I am sad and distressed.

Therefore, within these religious writings will be written lots of prayers: In some of these prayers I’ll be praying God for forgiveness in order to become purified, and therefore become worthy to become God’s servant, and so, I’ll be able to write God’s things and feel good about it; and then again in another prayer I’ll be invoking help from God, so that, I would be able to write my religious writings the proper way, and in some prayers I will be asking God to protect me from the spiritual forces of evil; because the force of evil may try to take me away from God’s spiritual life force, therefore it is important for me to fear the spiritual forces of evil, and therefore, I have to beware the forces of evil and pray God to help me. Here I believe that I have to explain again that my beliefs are based on a new way of understanding spiritual things and God. Or perhaps for a better description I should say, God spiritual life force of the universe. Therefore, for this reason, there are many new ways of seeing religious things and praying prayers, and hereunder is another one of my prayers that I have written.  

Another one of my new prayers

My lord God, with my personal concerns I come to you praying, Father Most High, master of the universe and life-giver of every living thing; I am praying you Father for help and guidance, perhaps by letting my guardian angel suggest me what to say, when I am writing these religious articles. Or send me a sign from Heaven that would suggest me what to say. So that, I could be inspired and be able to continue to write my religious writings, in such a way that they would be acceptable to the Spiritual beings in Heaven, and also to the physical beings on earth. Father, hear my prayer and help me, Amen

Having written this prayer above, another thought then came to my mind while I was waiting for my friends to come at the meeting. So, I was thinking that we need to define better, why we need religions and what God of the future could be like? We need to do that in such a way that people could easily accept our descriptions of God of the future. Anyhow, I have to stop writing now, because I can hear somebody at the door, I can hear the voices of my friends, so they are here now, let me welcome them, as I am eager to know what they could say. 

----------------------------------------

Religious discussions at the meeting

After greeting each other and all other niceties that occur every time good friends meet, I, Mark and Gino made ourselves comfortable and started to talk about the agenda of the meeting, and I first of all asked them;

I guess that you have come just the two of you, because any other friend does not want to take part in these religious talks? Is that what has happened?

Yes, you are right, they replied. 

What is the matter with them? Are they scared to talk to us now, or something else?

Don’t they see that we are talking only and nothing is happening? And nothing will ever happen just by talking and trying to make sense of the whole religious situation that exists today, we hope that by talking about it, we will be able one day to find a solution.

Here I would like to point out to our dear friends, that changing religions or religious meanings is not new, we just have to look back at the times of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to see that even Jesus Christ tried to explain religious issues to the Jews in a different way, but the religious leader of the time did not want to understand Our Lord, so they crucified him to neutralize the new religious ways that he was preaching.

Anyhow, that nobody else has come with you does not matter much, and perhaps we are better off without them, if they worry too much about exchanging religious views or beliefs, in case they say the wrong things, we understand that.

But now tell me about your own findings, what people are saying, if and when you have talked to them about God and religion, and also what has been happening lately that is worth mentioning?

Here my friend Mark was ready to answer me and he had a nice surprise for me, when he said later on, that, ‘God is hope for those who need hope most’; and this is what he said overall.

Anyhow, I believe that this post is becoming too long, So, we will talk about what Mark had to say, in our next post, God is hope for those who need hope most.

My prayers to God

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED FOR ANY BELIEVER TO DISCUSS RELIGIOUS MATTERS, SO IT IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO BROWSE AND TAKE PART.

Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, my prayer to God
-

One might say that praying is an inborn force that guide people to pray God, you see God is hope for those that need hope most; so when I pray it is this same force that guides me to pray to God? We should believe also that, when we pray God hears our prayer and answers it, in his own time and in his own ways.

My prayers to God

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, more discussions about the end of time, where we discussed many religious things. Anyhow, let us continue to write what we would like to achieve. To achieve what we would like to achieve with these religious writings, I am praying God to help me? I believe that praying God it is the right way to go about.

So, Almighty Father hear my prayer and help me, amen.

Here, before I write my prayer for this article, I would like to explain to my readers, that every time we pray God, we might pray for different reasons, which they would most likely be about what we need at that time. But even if we pray God for different reasons, the prayers that we pray are usually similar. They are similar, because first of all we have to invoke God and ask God for help, at the same time, we have to make sure that we are worthy to ask God for help. And then, we can state what sort of help we need and what it is for, in the end, we should invoke God again to hear our prayers and grand us our requests. Anyhow, let me write my prayer for this article.

My prayer to God for this article

My lord God, with my personal writing concerns, I come praying to you God-Most-High, master of the universe and life-giver to every living thing, I am praying thee for forgiveness of all my life sins, and for reconciliation to thy spiritual and eternal benevolent life force, I am praying in the hope that you would forgive me all my life sins, so that, I would become spiritually clean, and then, you would be able to hear my prayer and help me; I am praying with all my heart my soul and my mind, hoping that in your mercy you would guide and help me write this article of, Religious discussions and prayers according to your will, and in such a way that these religious writings could become helpful one day to all humanity. Father, hear my prayer and help me, amen.

Since in this article, we are talking about my personal prayers, I would like to add another prayer that I usually pray every day of my life, in order to feel that spiritual security within myself, since by praying I feel that I have done the right thing spiritually, and then, God may indeed help me to achieve what I have to achieve with these religious writings.

Personal prayer (2)

My Lord God, and Almighty Father I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind, to guard and protect me from all dangers and the spiritual forces of evil, and let me be a very wise man, so that I would be able to live the rest of my life according to your will, and can write these religious writings, in such a way that they could and would connect, all existing religions with God of the universe spiritual life energies; hoping that humanly could and would accept them, and use them for the future benefit of mankind. Father, hear my prayer and help me, amen

Note, if you would like to see more written prayers go to our blog Man needs God and then click in the page link, PRAYERS PAGE at the top of the list; now let us write our religious discussions:

------------------------------------------

Personal religious discussions

Dear readers, here I have to confess that I feel as if I am being driven by an inner force to write these religious writings of Prayers for Reconciliation. I know that this force that I feel within could be a psychological wave within my brains, which has been trigged from my own religious beliefs. Anyhow, after thinking for a very long time, and reflecting about this God sent task that seems to be within my mind all the time and never lets me go; I have concluded that perhaps I would never find peace within myself, unless I fulfil my desire to write about these religious beliefs within me. Now, here I need to add that there are a few reasons, why I have started this wanting to write something about my religious beliefs, but they are very complex, therefore I have not been able to explain it fully, but I am sure that I will soon be able to do that, perhaps in this article or our next article. Anyhow, today I have decided to talk to my religious friends again about religions, in the hope that now they may have come to see my religious task in a more favorable way, and so they would be able to help me somehow.

So, I have called my friends to let them know, that I would like to see them again to talk about my religious dilemmas. Now, while I have been waiting for my friends to arrive, I have also been thinking that it would be a good thing, if I write down the reasons why I have started to write these religious writings, so that, while we would be discussing these religious issues, we would be able to understand the situation better. While I have been thinking about these religious things, I have realized that one of the reasons why I have started to write and need to write these religious writings, it was and it still is, that perhaps I see God somehow different from everybody else, and I see also that I understand the Bible a bit different from everybody else; therefore, I need to explain to my friends more clearly what I think God might be like, in the hope that by explaining that, my friends will understand me better, and so, they will be able to help me with their input about their approval or disapproval of whatever is going to be discussed.

While I am thinking about the discussions that we might have with my friends, I have asked myself, why I am seeing these religious things in a different way and also other issues, and here, I have surprised myself that I am denying some of the main reasons, why I wanted to write these new religious views. So, I have again become aware, that one of the trigger of wanting to write these religious views or beliefs in a new way, they were a couple of things. The first one is about the atheist’s denial of God existence; and the second one was the shock of the 9-11 terrorist attack on American soil. We know these two groups are completely different in their religious beliefs, because the atheists deny the existence of God, but the Muslim terrorist believe in their God to the point of carrying these terrorist acts, and killing themselves in the name of their God Allah. These two things although they are very different and far apart, at the same time they are religious issues, so, there is a chance that both of them could be fixed modifying religions.

Anyhow, when I have written this article for the first time, I had reason to believe that the terrorist situation could have escalated very rapidly, and the terrorist may have made wars to the rest of the world, but this may or may not happen at all, so we had to wait and see, but let us leave behind this terrorist threat for the time being, so, let us talk in general what could be done, in order to neutralize both these issues.

This situation could be said to be very strange, because these two groups of people have nothing in common, since they stand so far apart that if they were political parties, they could have been described as extremists, and one would be the extreme right and the other the extreme left. Now, I believe that what I am going to suggest next, it could even be stranger, because I am suggesting some religious changes; because I believe that by changing some religious beliefs both of these religious evils could be neutralized, of course this could only work if everybody would believe in a new religious way, which would be a new religious way for the future. You see, we have in mind this theory, which we are going to suggest, before we complete our religious writings. Anyhow, this is how I imagine that this religious problem could be solved, in the future.

Anyhow, I believe that this post is becoming too long, while there is a lot more to be said, which we are going to write in our next post, other religious reasons and prayers.

See you soon.

Discussions about the end of time

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED FOR ANY BELIEVER TO DISCUSS RELIGIOUS MATTERS, SO IT IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO BROWSE AND TAKE PART.

Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, more discussion about the end of time
-
More discussions about the end of time
-

In the last book of the Bible, the writer John describes how the world would end, according to his own vision that he believe it is from God.
One of his vision is also about this seven headed beast and many other things, as described in the last chapter of the Bible called Revelation.

More discussions about the end of time

More outside discussions about Revelation and the end of time

My dear readers, in our last post we went out of our way, to talk about some problems we are having with the Internet programs in our computer, because we would like to inform anybody that uses the internet, about those problems, because we believe that they are overcharging us, and they might be overcharging you as well. Having done that, now we go back to talk about our religious posts, where we were discussing about, the end of time.

Anyhow, let me go back to our normal religious discussions. So, here and now I would like to say, how I see these religious issues my own way; or perhaps I should say, how I see these religious discussions about the Bible Revelation today. You see, since that last religious meeting with my friends that I have written in our last religious post, I have also had several discussions with other outside people about Revelation at the end of the Bible, and from these discussions I have come to the conclusion, that Revelation has different meanings to different people. I have found that there are people that believe, that Revelation is indeed how the world would end soon or later; but there are also some people that say that Revelation at the end of the Bible is not going to happen at all, because it was/is only a descriptive way that John the writer of Revelation used, so that they could control the religious people of those days by giving them courage, since God would help them, by bringing a new system one way or another.

There is also another reason as some learned people suggest that Revelation is not what religious people want us to believe even today, which is that the world will end soon, because there will soon be a war, so great that the whole world will be destroyed. Here we definitely can add that if a great war is going to happen, then, the world could indeed end, because of the atomic bomb that some deranged leaders may use. It could also happen because of the Muslim threat that really seems to split the world in two, and therefore it could be very much like Armageddon written in the Bible. I do not like to add anything else here, because we believe that humanity should be able to find a way out from these dangerous situations. I believe that some of us have reached the age of reason and should be able to find a solution. My own personal solution could be said to be what we would like to achieve with these religious writings. It might not be much of a solution, but if these writings happen to get some important people thinking about religious solutions, they might be able to do something about it. Anyhow, let us describe what we would like to do ourselves with these writings.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE WITH THESE WRITINGS:

We are trying to set the stage for the entire world to see

So, when you read these pages you might have to agree

That here we are trying to find a way to God for all humanity,

In the hope that we would be living in God's peace for eternity

Therefore, I am praying God to guide and help me, amen.

---------------------------------------

Now just a few more words about Revelation. As you know, there are some people who believe that revelation has already happened, what these believers are saying is that, what the writer John was saying was that Armageddon was really the end of the Roman empire ruling over the world, because when John wrote Revelation the Romans were the main enemies of the follower of Jesus, so they may well be right to assume that a new system has already happened.

Looking back at what has been said in these discussions above. It seems to me that there may still be this need to discuss the Bible interpretations of Revelation, because some people seem to disagrees with the present interpretation, which the religious leaders of today want us to believe, in order to scare us again so that we would follow them and do whatever they say.

I believe that we have said enough in this article. So, see you in our next article, where we will be talking about more religious discussions and also about prayers.

May God help us to understand these religious things?

May God bless us all?
