Should we force something into our belief?

[Mickiel]

Should we force something into our belief? Well I think that is what traditional religion has become used to doing. Jehovah's Witnesses think that evangelism is how to force their belief, Christianity thinks that sheer popularity and numbers in their ranks and media pressure, is how to get their belief to blanket the world, other religions have sectioned themselves off and are comfortable being elite;

then you have those who have grown tired of all this religious confusion and just totally left religion alone, such as myself. Preferring to walk alone than to be a part of this mess.

Interesting how some people who " Want to believe in God", some how think they have to " Choose from the religions in this world, in order to get God's attention." Or they are confused as to " Which religion is right?"

So they go " Shopping for a religion", already pre primed to force the belief of others into their system.

Pick any religion; any of them, or all of them; which religion is salvation? Which religion did God endorse? Which religion is in the real Kingdom of God?

How and when did religion even get mixed into the belief system of humanity, and why do religions try to force their belief into humanity?

The kingdom of God is a spiritual, invisible fellowship of believers in God, anywhere, inside or outside of any religion worldwide.

Believers in God are not invisible, and no group of believers in God are invisible to the people on earth; however I would agree that the Kingdom of God is Spiritual, but its not " Religious", and it is not a " Market that can be cornered by any one religion." The Kingdom of God is far bigger than any one religion, yet many religions are trying to force the belief that " Their religion" is " The One;" is the way , the truth and the light.

Interesting how Jesus said that HE is the way, the truth and the light; yet a religion would even dare to force people to believe that their religion equates to Jesus, and that it is the way, has the truth and is enlightened.

No we do not, but most of the troubles and confusion on earth are caused by religions who have that mentality and are trying to force it into the belief systems of humanity./

In Rev. 12:9, satan has deceived the whole world, ( believers are included in this deception, not excluded; that's what whole world means; everyone). You think satan forced this deception into humanity? Into believers?

Of course not, he has used masterful illusion; craftiness and religion. He has used all forms of knowledge to deceive a whole planet. So there is a flip side of forcing belief into humans; and its manipulating belief into them, like a slow acting drug that makes you feel good while it hurts you.

Did satan have to force deception on Adam and Eve? No he did not, Adam was not even deceived, he just stood there and did nothing while Eve got twisted by satan. And satan did not have to force any kind of belief on Eve, he just used everything God had already told her. The deception of Eve was as simple as an evil angel taking candy from a baby; in fact, that's an exact description of what happened. And neither Adam or God tried to help Eve.

Which is why I know she got set up.

There is so much confusion on this earth, many just don't know what to believe; so they ram what others believe down their own minds.
