Nothing 2 Believe

[NeverL0ved]

I can not comprehend why I am what I am. I know that I never made myself, nor do I own this body I have been trapped with in this world. I have not failed in seeking out the creator who gave me this existence, in asking the right questions of how one must be what it must be.

I cannot go any further into the madness of it all, because

You can't.

And the truth is that all the things we believe in, are but a lie.

It's what I'll die for in the end.

 

[Basil the Great]

We cannot know that it is all a lie, just like we cannot know for certain that what we have been told is the truth. It all comes down to faith and if one chooses to believe or not. However, there is a fair amount of evidence that the human soul does survive death and pretty much every religion on Earth teaches that we do in this life, impacts what happens to us in the next life. Hence, it would seem prudent that we should ponder carefully how we treat our fellow men and women and especially the less fortunate.

You are making it way too complicated. God has revealed Himself in many ways - through creation, through His written word, through His Son, Jesus and through the Church. They all agree. God's Word is Truth, Lord Jesus is God's Word, therefore He is the Truth, and the Church is meant to be preaching the truth. If you accept the truth, you will be set free.

You are and live in a world of phenomenon. Your existence is incredible, not just the mere presence of "existing," but the whole package of living in this world. When we were children, most things were new to our senses and fresh to our experience. Our fascination was endless, it so seemed at the time, by the unfamiliar. As we grew older and developed a better understanding of the world around us, our impression of this place began to wane as we became more familiar. What was a spectacle in our eyes as children are no longer that way.

I say that God wants to make himself known, and has made himself known, but we have hardened our hearts through sin from thinking and feeling like children again. There is absolute truth, and such truth revealed to us in this world of phenomenon. Your conclusions are false.

 

[NeverL0ved]

You who say you know the truth are but the hypocrites of old that the Christ warned would come, and the Christ himself is the hypocrite of all.

 

[Carl Emerson]

You assume rather a higher moral ground than Jesus Himself ???

If that were the case you would not be here asking questions.

You believe in yourself.

Maybe there is something beyond yourself to believe... unless you consider that you created that as well???

The good thing is that when he comes to take us home and reveal his glory. You can say that to his face ...

You take all this time describing how poorly-equipped you are to find the truth, but then go on to declare a truth that negates all other people’s claims of truth. Aren’t you just as much in the dark as they? How is your declaration any less of a lie than anyone else’s?

And the truth is that all the things we believe in, are but a lie.

Is that a lie?

You sound very troubled. You should reach out to those around you for support, or the Samaritans.

It is truly amazing.
God made it
and said it was good.
If we take a good look around
we should realize that.

so ... you state you believe in creation and acknowledge the creator gave you your existence. So what are each of us to do with that existence? Each were created for a purpose ... what is man's purpose?

Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

and ... all struggle in doing that ... but that is not to say we are not to pursue it.

Jesus is our perfect example of walking humbly with God. We are not to look for perfection in each other ... because no man does good.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Every day we should be learning/perusing how to walk humbly with God ... it is an individual pursuit and we all experience successes and failures along the way ... throughout our entire lives here on earth.

2nd Corinthians 13:5
Good News Translation
Put yourselves to the test and judge yourselves, to find out whether you are living in faith. Surely you know that Christ Jesus is in you?--unless you have completely failed.

Without Christ we will completely fail.

Philippians 3:14
New Living Translation
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

so ... we press forward to walk humbly with Jesus our Lord ... and certainly we make a lot of mistakes along the way.

Philippians 1:6

New Living Translation
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

so ... each of are to examine ourselves ... and ask the question ... Am I pressing forward?

 

[Aryeh Jay]

The good thing is that when he comes to take us home and reveal his glory. You can say that to his face ...

He already knows what I’m going to say and he will get another dose of it up close. I can’t wait!

True ? or False ?

All make-believe for you then ?

Jesus couldn't be that moral if he was teaching people he would throw them into an oven if they didn't love him.

 

[Carl Emerson]

Chapter and verse?

What He does do is honour the individuals choice to separate from Love both in this life and in eternity.

Separation from Love sure ain't pleasant...

The truth is that you are loved more than you can imagine or comprehend.
Jesus came to pay the penalty of your sin, he offers you totally forgiveness, a place in his family and a place with him in heaven.

That is undeserved love of a scale no one can quantify and it is for you.

There are trillions of possibilities, trillions of potential worlds which may be "The one I live in". You have a choice. Invent one. Add a few angels. Subtract a few demons. See how it goes. If the B-side done shine, play the A....

All your human concepts of love are garbage too me.
