The Bible man creation discussions.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, TODAY WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people believe in the same God, and the same things, religions fulfill that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in these articles of, Prayers for Reconciliation, we are going to write about our religious beliefs, Religion about man creation. 

The Bible says that God made Adam and Eva and placed them in the Garden of Eden, in this photo above, Eva is about to take one of the fruits from the tree of knowledge, which God had forbidden them to eat, but Eva did take that fruit, and they ate it, and all the trouble for humanity began. 

  

Welcome to our article, Religion about man creation. 

May God guide and help me to say the right things?

Dear readers, we are writing these articles, and we seem to get in all sorts of trouble, as you will see in this article. Anyhow, these articles are a study of religions and how they serve humanity.

As we have said in our previous articles, there are reasons to believe that religions could be man-made; in other words, they are an invention that mankind made a long time ago. Today we are after information, about the creation of mankind, since our friends Gino and Peter have expressed their doubts, about God being able to create man from plain dirt, therefore, we want to think and discuss about this religious issue.

Anyhow, I start feeling that my friends have had enough about talking religions, so, they wish that we change subject and be like other people. So, since our last article, I have not talked religion to them anymore; but I still want to write about religion and I need to continue to talk to them, because I feel better when other people agree with my views about religions.

Anyhow, I must wait for the opportunity to talk about religions to my friends. I know that I can read articles from the media to give me an idea what to say, but that is not as good as when I am talking to my friends, because when I am talking to my friends, at least I believe that what I write about my friends speech is brand new, so, it is harder for Hub pages to find that my articles have duplicate content, which is so frustrating; when you know that you have written that article for the first time. So, let us talk about this Hub Pages problem.

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

About hub pages’ creation of man

We wanted to continue writing about the creation of man only, and I did, only to be told that our article has duplicate content, so, I am forced to talk about Hub pages’ duplicate content.

Whoever has written articles in Hub pages knows, that soon or later they may find that their articles have been marked as having duplicate content. I believe that nothing in the writing world is brand new, because first we have to learn it from somewhere else, once we have made up our mind what is right and what is not right, we write it down our own way mixing the subject we have learned, therefore, what we write have got to have duplicate content in it, it cannot be avoided, as I have explained above.

In my case of writing religious articles is even worse, because religious discussions tent to say the same things again, it is only natural that they do this. You see, if you have gone to mass at the Roman Catholic Church, I am sure that you have noted that the mass is the same every time, even the sermons have their yearly cycle, so, religion is a repetitive subject where it is hard to avoid repetitions, I hope you see what I mean when I speak of duplicate content.

Anyhow, this does not mean that religious articles can be allowed to have duplicate content, I want only to point it out how hard it is to avoid it. I have told my friends what happens in Hub pages about duplicate content and all they came up with was; you have to try harder to avoid that, perhaps you can quote what we say, so that even if we are saying the same things, it is not you that is saying it. This is what my friends have suggested, but I wonder if it works; but let us go back to our religious talks about man creation.

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

Some friendly religious talks

It happened to me the other day, when Mark, Gino and Peter were having this conversation in my presence and Mark was saying to Gino.

You said to Frank that God cannot make man from dirt because that would be hard for God to do. Now, what you have said makes me wonder whether you can tell us more about the way that you see the creation of man, and about other creations that happen in the Bible.

Gino.

No, Mark I don’t have much to say about the Bible creation, except that if you think about it, there are things that don’t make sense the way they have been written in the Bible, because if we use our logic reasoning mind, they are impossible to achieve even for a real God, provided there is a God. Therefore, that is the reason that I believe the Jews made up their God so powerful that could make living people from plain dirt.

Therefore, the Jews invented their own powerful God, their own ways and for their own needs and they did it in such a way that this God was more powerful of any other God, since their God could even make man from plain dirt. I hope you see what I mean.

Mark.

Of course, I see what you are saying Gino! But what you are saying opens a new way of thinking, if we are willing to follow your interpretation of the Bible. You see, if we admit that man was not created by God from dirt, then also other creations are not true, or they are partly true, therefore, we must discuss it many times before we can reach a conclusion, it also opens the whole Bible to discussions, as the Bible may not be the word of God, or even inspired by God, as Frank said in one of his articles; Religions are man-made, perhaps we have to agree with Frank description of religions, don’t you agree?

Gino.

Of course, I agree with Frank’s descriptions, because I am trying to say the same thing.

Here Peter comes in saying.

Look I and Gino agree that man cannot be made from plain dirt, even if God tries to make him; thus, the whole thing cannot be true as our own human understanding tells us. Now, if we take away that God is omnipotent and can do anything, which is how the Jews wanted God to be, then, God must follow the physical laws that exist in the universe; then the possibilities of God making man from dirt, is almost nil and therefore there has got to be another way. You see, that is the reason why we said what we have said in the first place, about the Jews inventing their own God, just the way they needed God.

Mark.

I understand what you two are saying, I was worried that you two had become atheists, like our friend John was saying the other day, when he heard what you said. Perhaps as your beliefs stand, you may be agnostic rather than atheists.

Frank (me):

What I heard from your religious talks today, can help me write how some people see religions today; it opens also the way for religious discussions, where I can learn something else about your religious views. Anyhow now let us enjoy ourselves the normal way I said.

Now that I have learned that I cannot ask my friends to talk about religious issues all the time, I must find my own way how to collect religious information that I am going to talk about, so, I am going to read more religious books, and search for religious articles on the Internet, then write my own articles.

Therefore, I have made up my mind that I must find my own way, how to research for other religious articles, since I cannot rely on my friends too much for writing my articles. Anyhow, I start seeing God in a different way, so I believe that we need to modify religions. Meanwhile we are continuing our religious articles, so, see you in our next article, where we are going to write about the Bible, 

Exodus and the Mosaic Laws. Exodus and the Mosaic Laws, see you there.

Religions could be manmade.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, TODAY WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people believe in the same God, and the same things, religions fulfill that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in these articles of, Prayers for Reconciliation, we are going to write about our religious beliefs, Religions could be man made. 

People need God, and for that reason there are many religions, as we can see from this map above. There are many religious books, one of the most read religious books in the world is the Bible, it has been translated and printed in many languages, there are also other books end religions that derive from the Bible, the Koran comes from the Bible, it is mentioned several times in the Koran that God Allah, is the same God of Abraham and the Israelite. They say that the Muslims are the children of Ishmael the first-born son of Abraham and his maidservant.  

Welcome to our article, Religions could be man made. 

May God guide and help me to say the right things?

Dear readers, in this blog we want to point out that religions could be manmade. We really do not know whether religions came about because there have been signs from heaven, or man made everything up. We say that there are reasons to believe that religions could be man-made, we say that they could be man-made, because we need to give the benefit of doubts.

Now, if we assume that religious are man-made, we need to search for the proof to establish that. Because that is hard to achieve, we may have to assume that they are manmade; then, we need to explain religions better and in different ways, we need to explain why they have been made up the way that they have been made up.

But religions might not be completely made up, because, if we consider the spiritual side there must be something in it. You see, all religions have a different spiritual side, so, we must assume that there is a spiritual side, and from this spiritual side people have made up our religious beliefs.

So, we believe that we know, why religions have been made up the way they are today, and we must explain religions better, if we want religions to continue to serve humanity, as they have done for thousands of years.

In our previous religious discussions, we have seen that there are many religions in the world; therefore, for that reason we may have to assume that religions are manmade. This does not mean that God does not exist, but it means that we should not follow blindly all religious doctrine whatever they say. Therefore, we must use our common sense and check that out, if what is being said may or may not be true.

Now, if we are talking about the Bible, the first thing that comes to my mind, is whether the seven days of at the beginning of the Bible, were seven days or thousands of years. Then, we want to prove that what is written in the Bible is the truth, which might not be. Look at our article, Flood in the days of Noah, where we have proof that the flood was not as universal as the writers of the Bible want us to believe. We believe that the flood happened, but it did not cover the entire world.

Therefore, it is time that mankind wakes up and sees the truth, I know that this is going to hurt many believers, but the truth is that man wrote the Bible, perhaps it was God inspiration at the beginning; but then they wrote and re-wrote the Bible, knowing that if they wrote it in a certain way, they could control the believer under them. This is what I believe myself, but then I might be wrong. 

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

 Talking about religious issues. 

The other day I met Mark and we talked about these religious issues, in our talks we concluded that we don’t like the way the Bible is being explained to the believers; today there are things that seem wrong. With this view in mind, we did not mean that the Bible is wrong, but the way that people use the bible might be wrong.

You see, there is the fact that when the Bible was written for the first time, everything was different from today, therefore, the Bible was written according to those time to guide the people of those times, therefore, if the Bible was to be written today, it would have been written in a different way.

Now, keeping in mind what we have said, I and Mark believe that it is necessary to write a few articles to show what we mean about criticizing the Bible, when we believe there are issues that don’t agree with our understanding of the Bible. Here we have to admit that this religious issue worries me; You see, most people don’t like to criticize the Bible openly, but it is becoming necessary to do it; because we want to show the world that what they are being told is not perfect. 

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

Our religious discussions continue. 

Religious discussions with Gino and Peter

A few days after I talked to Mark, I encountered Gino and Peter; this is Peter that said he believed in religions very much like Gino, we have met Peter before, where he said that there must be another explanation why the Bible claims that man was made from plain dirt.

Anyhow, after chatting about a few happy events, we talked about religions, and asked them whether they had given any thought about what we were discussing last time we met.

Well, they said, we have indeed thought about it, and we still believe that there must be another explanation, why the Bible says that man was made from plain dirt. Yes, indeed there can be more than another explanation, it is likely that there are several explanations, which falls in line with what we have been thinking that religions are man-made. Now, we must look at the reasons why man wanted that God would create man from plain dirt.

As we have said, about the creation of man before, man cannot be created from dirt, because even God has got to be subject to the laws of nature, because God first and foremost uses the natural ways to create anything, we believe that this is God ways; then we want to point out that there was no need for God to make us from clay; because we were there in the form of animals.  

But the ancient Jews, wanted that their God was more powerful than all the other gods put together, so, they gave their God this extra power, and their God was so powerful that could even create a man from plain dirt.

Here Peter comes in and says do you see what we mean? They (the Jews) wanted this Super God to have so much powers that was even able to create a man from dirt.

Can you just imagine how powerful a god must be, since this God could create a man from plain dirt? He would indeed be Omnipotent and nothing and no one could we more powerful than this God, we hope that you see what we mean here.

Perhaps this idea came about when man started to make statues, and, in their fantasies, wished that those statues were real people or animals. Therefore, they started to think that God could be able to do that, and thus, the whish that God could make those statues become alive was born.

I said, thanks for saying what you believe. 

This is all what was said about religions at this encounter.

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

 What we should believe about religions. 

During our religious discussions, we are having difficulty in proving that God created life and everything else in the world; and then, it becomes even worse when we want to prove the existence of God, because even God existence is put to the test. Sometimes I start thinking that the atheists might be right, when they say that there is no god. But God and religions are the fundamental rules that in a way or another guarantees justice; I hope you see what I mean?

There is also the fact, that I cannot explain to myself everything about life, therefore, I believe that there is a god because there is life; and also, for most people if there is no god there is no hope or meaning about our lives.

Can you imagine that there are no gods, and people that happen to suffer in this world cannot even think of something that gives them hope, what sort of world is this? Would these people that find life hard despair even more?

I know that we have called this hub, Religions could be manmade, but this does not mean that there must not be a god in any shape or form. Anyhow, there are reasons to believe that religions are manmade, but there is also the possibility that God exists, and God is life, as we have explained in our article, God exists because life exists.

Here I want to paste an article I found on the internet, that shows you what other people think about God.

The Lack of Intelligence in Intelligent Design: Many Flaws 

Anyhow, since I believe that God can be an invention of our mind, but at the same time we need God to exist. I am going to write this theory, where I am going to describe how I see God.

 I believe that we have said enough in this article, so, see you with our next article, where we are talking about another imaginary creation in our article, Religion about man creation.

This year 2023, Christmas thoughts.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, TODAY WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people believe in the same God, and the same things, religions fulfill that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in these articles of, Prayers for Reconciliation, we are going to write about our religious beliefs, including, This Year 2022, Christmas Thoughts.

I wish that this Christmas. will be a Christmas to remember, for the right reasons. And after Christmas things start changing in a positive way. I hope that the entire world finds a way how to live in peace, and we can forget the wars and the Covid of the last few years, that has made life hard to live. So, I pray and wish to God that next year brings better things. May God help us.    

Welcome to our article, this year Christmas thoughts.

As we all know that everybody like Christmas time, for many reasons. But Christmas is a religious feast, and religious feasts have been made to give people hope for a better life. So, I am writing this article with this view in mind, hoping that next year is a better year for everybody.

There have been too many bad things happening for the last few years, so, there is nothing wrong to hope for better things in the future.

For that to happen, people must believe in God and pray God. If all the people pray and believe that God will help them solve their problems, then most things will just become better. Whether God is helping or not, we will never know, but it is what we do and believe that makes the difference, so, let us think in a positive way, sometimes it is not easy to do that, but it is worth to try.

You see, we need to look at what is happening in the world, to understand what I am talking about here. Anyhow, I believe that a few decades ago, everything seemed to work out well, so, we thought that if it continued that way, humanity would be able to improve and live a better life in the future. But it did not work out that way, because of some people twisted beliefs, you see, spiritual beliefs need to be benevolent and altruistic, if we want to improve our standard of living. But most religions are not perfect and fail to deliver what they are supposed to deliver.

So, most religions fail the test of being benevolent and altruistic. We also can say that the way we want to see our God is wrong, because we need to describe God, as a just and benevolent God, and all the people on earth are being treated equal, anything less than that, we can say it is a failure. So, today most religions and the way they describe God are partly a failure and let us see why I believe that.

 ------------------------------- 

Yahweh God of Israel, fail the test of being a benevolent and an altruistic God, because he wants the Israelite to go to the promised land to repossess the land, by killing the people that are there, and he helps them kill many other people during the time of their exodus. 

Allah, God of the Muslims, who in a way is also Yahweh, but called with a different name, fail the test of being a benevolent and altruistic God, because people believe that they can kill other people, and call on God and use God name to kill other people, of any religion.  

 ----------------------------   

The Indian religions have many Gods, but les us start with what we understand. Lord Krishna fails the test of being a benevolent and altruistic God because he asks one of his followers to kill his family and follow him, and perhaps other Indian religions will somehow fail the test.

Christianity also fails the test of having a benevolent God, because while we have Jesus Christ as our leader, we also have Yahweh God of the Israelite, and follow the Old Testament of the Bible. So, there is not any idealistic God, in the religions as we know them.   

So, while today we have many Gods and religions, no one seems to be perfect for todays’ world. You see, the world needs one God and one religion that satisfy everybody.

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

The entire world needs to believe in the same God. 

I believe that for religions to serve humanity well, the entire world needs to believe in the same God, that is the only way for humanity to believe in God and follow religious teaching, in the future. Therefore, in these articles we are going to assume and say that we have one world, and we need one God and one religion only. In the past it might have been better to have several religions separate, because people were living in separate groups, so, religions were made for a group of people only. But today the entire world is going global. So, it would be a good thing, if humanity finds a way, how to believe in a future God. 

I am saying this, because there are people that want to keep the world as it was, or perhaps go back a century or more. Here again I repeat, I am saying this because some people are greedy, like President Putin that wants to occupy Ukraine and tell them what to do. But the people of Ukraine do not want Putin to tell them what to do, so, they are fighting back, and we should pray God that they can keep their freedom. We must admit that it is the will of the people that should count most. You see, to make clear what I am saying, let write an example. Let us assume that Putin wins the war. Can Putin rule in Ukraine peacefully, I don’t think so, so what he is doing is a waste of time, and lots of people are dying for no good reasons. You see, we believe that in the future, there will not be any boundaries between countries, so, what he is doing now is futile, and will not last. 

Today there is also the war in the Middle East, Israel and Hamas are at war again. This war must be the oldest war in the world, since it on and off since the written history of mankind. We can say that this is a religious war also, since their religions are different, and sometimes they fight for land possession, and sometimes they fight for religious beliefs.  

Anyhow, I believe that in the future, everything will be set according to the will of the people, and most likely everything will be set, with these beliefs in mind. We have one world, where God exists as life and the life giver to every living thing, therefore, everybody must be equal in the eyes of God, and God does not take part in human affairs.

So, any religious leader must put this in their mind, God of the future does not and will not take part in any war, because God is life and will not destroy life. So, in the future we will believe that we have, one world, one God and one religion.

Anyhow, we believe that in the future religions may become only one religion for the entire world, it needs to be that way, because a lot of people are moving from their native country to other countries, this can be due to many things including global warming, which can be a real problem for some countries, so, the entire world and the religious world, must adjust according to the need of the people. Today this may sound like an exaggeration, but it is not, because we cannot see the world going back to normal and continue like it did in the past.

Therefore, here again, we see that we need to believe that there is only one world, and for us to make the best of this world, we need to belie that we need only one God and one religion. The only thing that is left to see, is how and who is going to set it up. 

   

This year Christmas wish. 

Having said that, now let us talk about what we wish happens this Christmas. Because Christmas is a religious event, we hope that somehow, God spiritual force opens the eyes of those people that are blind to other people needs and make war just because they are greedy. So, we wish that God make them see that it is possible to live in peace with everybody, you do not need to rule over other people for them to do your will, they will do your will just the same, if you do good things to them, because it could be to their advantage, to return the favour and live in peace.

Anyhow, Christmas festivities mark the beginning of new things to come, so, this would be the right time to wish for better times to come. So, may God guide us to achieve that. Here I may add that, what I have said can be easier to achieve, if all religions would believe the same way. So, we must believe that one world needs one God and one religion only.

I must admit that this might be just my wishful thinking, but it can be achieved, if we believe that in the entire spiritual world, there is a super God that has made life possible on earth, therefore this super God represents life, and this God life force, will not take part in any war or destruction of life. So, we should believe that there is only one God throughout the universe and God is the life force of the entire universe.

Anyhow, my wish for this Christmas is that the world finds a way how-to live-in peace, and people help each other, whichever way this is achieved does not matter, but we should aim for a peaceful and better world in the future.  

I believe that I have said enough in this article, so, what remains to do, is to wish you my readers a Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2024. 

May God bless us all.

Religious people contribution.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, TODAY WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people believe in the same God, and the same things, religions fulfills that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in these articles of, Prayers for Reconciliation, we are going to write about our religious beliefs, including, Religious people contribution.   

Religious people contributed in the past, but today we need more contributions. 

In the Bible is says that Moses saw God on Mount Sinai in the form of a talking burning bush. And in their conversation about freeing the Jews Moses asked God, who should I say to the Pharaoh has send me. God said Yahweh. This literally means, I am who I am. This is how we know God's name is Yahweh. 

 

Welcome to our article, Religious people contribution. 

May God guide and help me to say the right things?

In this article, we continue to talk about religions, we must say that religions have served humanity well for a long time; but they are the same old religions that we have had for centuries. But today religions are growing stale, because they are old fashioned, since nobody suggests that they need to be modified, to fall in line with the times that we live in.

You see, today everything is changing quickly, because of this new electronic era; but religions are not changing and are becoming old fashioned. So, if we believe in a benevolent God of the universe, and that religions are beneficial to mankind, we should ask ourselves, if we need religious changes, so that religions can be attractive to people, as they used to be in the past, when life was simple and electronic did not exist.

So, I believe that we must decide what can be done, to keep religions in touch with today trend. We have reasons to believe that in the past religions have contributed a great deal more to humanity than today, because the people then were simple minded and accepted religious beliefs just the way it was explained to them.

Today people know a lot more than they used to know, so, they are asking questions about religious beliefs, this can be the reason why religions are running out of steam. You see, mankind has not changed major religious beliefs for about two thousand years, if we are following religion according to the Bible, or other religious books that derive from the Bible. One of the reasons is that we believe that religious beliefs should not change; but if we look closely, we will discover that religious beliefs can change and remain attached to God and the same eternal spiritual forces.

We know that there are other major religions in the world, which don’t have anything to do with what is written in the Bible, but we in the western world don’t know enough about them, so, our comments about them is limited. But if we look at the religions that derive from the Bible, they are the same, that is why religions start looking stale, and that is why the atheists attack religions. Therefore, I want to suggest that we need religious people, to do something to give religions more importance.

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

Now beside Christianity and other religions that derive from the Bible, there are many other religions in the world, and everyone of them insists that it is the true religion. So, to go around and suggest that religions should change, is not a great deal, since there are all these different religions.  

More religious contribution is required. 

Today if we ask ourselves; what have we done about religious beliefs lately? I guess that we have not done anything. What we are saying here is that after the Bible was written including the New Testament no major changes in beliefs have happened, even though the Koran has been written, The Koran -- Simple Search , and also the Book of Mormon, has been written, and the authors of these two books assure us that they have written them according to divine interventions that they personally experienced. However, these two religious books always refer to happenings written in the Bible; so, it seems to me that they derive from the Bible, even when they show new religious happenings and other religious rules.

There are also smaller and less known religions, which have in common the Bible, since the Bible is the most important known religious book of the western world; for what we know it is likely the first five books of the Bible have been written before any other existing religious book in the world; but some scholars believe that Hinduism is the first religions recorded; one of the books of Hinduism is the, The Laws of Manu

Anyhow, here let us talk about western religions, it would be right to assume that Moses wrote or caused to write these five first books in the Bible, while he was for forty years in the Sinai desert, since Moses had to keep the record of what was happening and to lay down the laws that God was giving him. These writing events were happening about 1500 years before current era, which could be 3500 years ago; therefore, the beginning of the Bible was written by Moses of the house of Levi a long time ago, these books could have been just notes to record what was important to remember. After Moses died the leaders that followed caused their scriber to continue to write, in order to keep the record of the main religious events; so, for about sixteen hundred years or there about all the main religious and historic events were thus recorded.

Now we must understand that the Bible, not only was a religious book of the Israelite, but it also doubled up as a history book for them until the time of Jesus Christ. When the Old Testament came to an end; and the New Testament began according to the Christian Bible and the four Gospel written in it, here the Jews split from Christianity and they have for religious book the Torah. Judaism 101: Torah which I understand as being the old Bible plus something that they believe is important to them.

Now, as we have said, these religious things have been written in the Bible, and the Bible was a continuous book about the Jews history, but then they stopped writing the Bible, let us see some of the reasons.

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

Why they stopped writing the Bible. 

Mankind stopped writing the Bible, but what could be the reasons? But before I talk about why we stopped writing the bible, I am going to pray God for guidance, it makes me feel better, it is as if I ask God permission to write what I think.

Our Father in heaven, to you I turn God Most High, and I start to pray with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. In the name of The-Father The-Son and The-Holy Spirit, I am praying and hoping, that the ever-present guiding force of the Holy Spirit on earth would guide and help me; So that, I can write these religious writing as humanly as possible according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and guide me! Amen.

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

As we have said, from the very beginning the Bible has been written from the Israelite, today known as the Jews. It is the religion of the Jews, where Yahweh their God fills all the pages of this religious book, it is also the history of Israel since the Bible tells us about everything that the Israelite have done during that time; so, the Old Testament of the Bible has been written from the time of Moses during exodus to the time of Jesus Christ; after that the Israelite stopped writing the Bible; so, let us see what could have been the reasons?

One of these reasons could be that after the Jews (Israelite) crucified the lord Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ did not fulfill what they wanted most, which was that they wanted help from their God Yahweh to fight their enemies, but Jesus Christ was preaching peace. Anyhow, Jesus changed the old accepted religious ways; so, the Jews went their own way; therefore, when this happened religion was split, the Jews went their own way, while the followers of Jesus Christ followed their beliefs. So, the Jews kept believing what they believed, and the history book of Israel the Bible was not continued.

As we Christians know, the Bible ends with the four Gospels Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, and then the apostle acts various other writers, some other letters and then it ends with the book of Revelation; this is how the Christian Bible ends even today. Now it is necessary to point out that John the writer of Revelation is not the same John who wrote the gospel, and it was written a long time after Jesus death, some scholars say 190 AD, anyhow the book of Revelation is a very allegoric book and tries to control people, it starts very strong and ends very strong.

The book of Revelation states this and I quote:

(This is the revelation given by God to Jesus Christ so that he could tell his servants about the things that are now to take place very soon; he sent his angel to make it known to his servant John.-- And John has written down everything he saw and swears it is the word of God guaranteed by Jesus Christ. Happy the man who reads this prophesy, and happy those who listen to him, if they treasure all it says, because the Time is close.) End of quote.

Revelation also ends with a very strong warning, or a curse to anyone who changes anything that the writer John has written, so, it is almost freighting, and this is the reason why the Bible has stopped being written.

Anyhow, we must ask again the same question as we did at the beginning; what has mankind done to update religious beliefs? The answer would be, not very much; whether it is the curse at the end of the Bible that stops us writing, we don’t know. Because we believe that something needs to be done to keep religions active in the future.

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

Let us review our writing task.  

Anyhow, we believe that religious leaders must use their common sense; they should take into account what is happening in the world; here we are thinking about the Muslim extremist that kill people in the name of their God Allah; so, anything that can be changed should be changed in a way that discourages these religious extremists to use religions for their own ends. Any changes should also be written in such a way that they agree with religious people and the atheists.

Therefore, we must find a way on how to review, rewrite and illustrate religion according to the present times, with the intention of putting an end to the misuse of religions and this is what we are trying to suggest in these articles.  

But today to make people believe in God and religions is not easy, because we want to believe in religion only if there are some advantages for us, and if there are not personal sacrifices. It is a well-known fact, that we do not accept everything that is being said to us these days, because we know a lot more than we used to know. So, we challenge any beliefs if they do not feel right in our mind, and we want mentally to check that everything that is being told, meets our own standard of knowledge and runs in a parallel way with our knowledge.

Therefore, if we want to write about religious beliefs, we must write them in a way that runs in a parallel way to our knowledge. They must reconcile every existing living thing to the living God life-force of the universe; they must be written in a way acceptable to mankind, otherwise it will be a waste of time to write them. Anyhow, I believe that I need help to write what I am trying to write here, so, let me pray God our Father to help me.

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

Praying God for help.  

Anyhow, since we believe that God can help us, let me pray.

In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, which every day I pray from the bottom of my heart to guide me, so that I can write these religious writings according to God’s will, Father, hear my prayer and help me!

As you can see, I have prayed our Lord God, so, I feel more confident. Now let me explain. Religion can be said to be a divine devise to help people live a better life in a collective way. But by observing how the world is being run today, it seems to me that people are distorting those existing religious rules therein, so, they can gain personal advantages for themselves.

So, we must try to set our religious writings in such a way that it would be harder for people to take advantage of religious rules. You see, today people are using religion as a weapon to inflict punishment to others, and some of these punishments are extreme and violent. This behavior makes us wonder whether they are a bunch of crazy people, that do not know what they are doing; but we know that they don’t behave as religious people should do.

So, to overcome that, we should go back to the beginning of religions and start rewriting religious books, beginning with phrases that would be hard to ignore like this phrase here under:

Let it be known to all humanity that there is only one God throughout the universe, and God is life and the life essence of the whole universe. He is the father of every living thing and therefore all our lives depend from Him. And we must believe and think while we are living on earth that every living thing one day must die and must return to Him.

We believe that things described in a collective way, like what we have written above can help.  

Let us discuss religions.   

Therefore, we believe that it is better for all humanity to believe in this living God as described above, because a God like that involves everybody on earth and binds all religions together, we need a God like that because there is no better way available, and there is no other God but this living God, which we all should believe in.

Of course, mankind has got a problem in believing in the same God, because there is this driving force within us, which makes us want to be better than the fellow next door. Therefore, it is in our nature that we don’t like to be the same as everyone else, and we don’t want to believe in the same God, our god has got to be better than other people gods.

But if we accept that there is only one God throughout the universe, then religions may become better. You see, it needs to be like that because this is the only way to stop religious differences, and above all those religious fanatics that do violent things in the name of their God and religion; not only that but the truth is that we need to accept that there is only one God throughout the universe, or there is no God at all. Anyhow, I believe that there is only one God throughout the universe, therefore, we need to find a way how to describe and believe in the same God.

To do that, I believe that we need to describe God in a different way, and mankind needs to accept and adjust whatever needs to be adjusted, to get everybody believing in the same God. Because we need to believe in this same God who is our life giver; to overcome these problems.

Therefore, I believe that it is helpful if we can find a way in common, which will help people believe in the same God who is the life force of the whole universe. So, I pray God to help me write these articles. And this would be my personal religious contribution.

I believe that this article is becoming too long; so, see you next time with, Importance of religion.
