Humans can have answers to any questions

by venus in

god would not say: “you should not eat from the tree of good and bad, which would make you like me” because through jesus he said: ‘you must become like me by imitating the qualities of sun whose only concern is giving (of light and warmth) which means having no expectation of anything from anybody’ (mathew 5:44-48) .

this also means we should have no human teachers because we can have answer to any questions by ourselves, through inference.

(pro 25:2) how to go about inferring?

We have seen how nature reacts when we let greed to rule our lives and when we remain divided. Now let us watch how nature would react when we let love to rule our lives and when we remain united like a family caring even for the animals. Nature would respond according to change of attitude of its inhabitants. (compare Genesis 4:13, 14)

From my personal life, I have observed there is violation of law(s) behind suffering, and there is observance of law(s) behind well-being. Both well-being (when laws are observed) and ill-effects (when laws are violated) are results of some laws that are at work, like two sides of a coin. For example, in skillful cooking, delicious dishes are produced which means some laws are perfectly observed. In careless cooking, what you cook is burned, or food item being turned black into carbon, which again means some laws are at work. Living things contain the element carbon. That is because many organic compounds are present in living things such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids. Organic compounds contain both the elements Hydrogen and Carbon besides any other elements that may be present in a compound. Therefore, anything that was once alive that you cook and subsequently burn, will turn black and the charred material will definitely contain the element carbon. The unexpected ill-effects from violating some laws are felt as suffering and as bad.

What I said about cooking is a sample. There is violation of laws behind every calamity--causes of some are known, causes of others are yet to be known. Everything happens according to some law.

Finkelstein, you rightly read my mind when you wrote: "I can see where Venus is coming from where he states that humans can change things."

I know a Chairman of a group of companies with 695699 employees who can afford to have many wives and 1000s of children did not marry, and do not have children, while poor parents, despite being in abject poverty, are ruled by their lust and expect God to ensure that no children are born to them. Many of such children born to them are not well-cared for, finally end up becoming criminals or terrorists.

I know another rich man who could afford to have many children, yet preferred to have only one child, a female, whom he reared so well that she was elected to the highest position of the country for four terms.

Hi deegee,

I am working for Forbes, hence familiar with what is going on in the world, and aware of all those things you mentioned--they are all exceptions, and also things have not been so from the beginning. If humans divert the time for accumulating things which they seldom use, all those perversions can be reversed.

For example, dogs that happen to be with vegetarian masters complete their life-span eating vegetarian food. (http://www.realfoodforlife.com/vegetarian-dog-lives/) There have been cases of little lamb being saved by lion from chasing cheetah, and lamb continued to grow with the lion. (Discovery Channel) Romans have a coin made in memory of a lion that refused to eat Androcles when he was thrown into hungry lion because Androcles was recognized by the lion as one who helped a thorn to be removed from its leg years back when it was a baby in the forest. (https://www.cointalk.com/threads/papal-medal-alexander-vii-androcles-and-the-lion.288161/) Even I have been saved by dolphins when I had an unexpected accident while surfing. All these show things can change if humans want.

Sometimes our own body shake while we are asleep like earthquake—there could be some reason we don’t know. If we are not careful about what to eat, how much to eat …. and what to feed our mind … etc our body would behave like turbulent climate. If thinking of humans collectively become negative and hurtful it would have its corresponding changes in the environment too. Though account of Cain and Abel symbolizes two type of people, aftereffects of spilling blood on earth is symbolically described in Genesis 4 saying earth would retaliate. No disease occurs without any reason—some reasons are discernible and some are not. Even when some know certain habits (such as smoking, drinking alcohol …etc) invite diseases they still continue with it. Everyone should know what to eat, and how much to eat ...etc. But people often choose to go by convenience rather than conviction. For example, everyone knows exploiting the weak is wrong. Yet many humans kill lesser beings, eat their flesh and make a celebration out of their suffering. Even though fondly called non-vegetarian, in reality it is corpse; and killing and eating corpse are violation of the very first law found in the first book of the Bible (Genesis 1:29) which is the scripture for three major religions—Jews, Christians and Muslims. Like any other violation of law, this too will have its consequence in the form of diseases. (“Poisons in Your Body,” by Mary and Steven Null). Look at the damage just this one human habit causes besides health hazards: It is “an area 1.5 times the size of the European Union” that is being wasted for animal farming, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/meat-eating-destroying-planet-report-warning-a7985071.html dt 4.10.2017). When a part of human family suffers from poverty, about 5.5 billion people—up to 76% of the world's population—are `overfat', which invite various diseases. What you feed your mind also matters—every time you are negative having ego, lust, anger, greed, hatred … etc, you create a biochemical reaction in your physical body, which progressively destroys your immune system and your health.

Only when all humans live like a family, then only we will know what could be the real condition of our earth, environment, animals …etc.

waton,

If you had read the conclusion with care, you would not have responded as though you are hurt by what I wrote.

I was only showing how I live in the NOW (which I know somebody would like to read--because there was a time when I wanted to hear something like this)

Xanthippe,

I thought you would have a closer look on the OP (not on my later reply) which offers no defense for God.

I was only trying to mimic the paleontologists in the OP.

Cofty,

There were many other percentages before phosphorus such as “oxygen (65%), carbon (17.5%), hydrogen (10.2%), nitrogen (2.4%), calcium (1.6%),” and phosphorus (which makes almost 99% of the mass of the human body) and potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium …. etc (which makes the rest of the body).

Hence 99% does refer to all those things, not to phosphorus.

99% was put to contrast the remaining things such as potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium …. etc (which makes the rest of the body)

Xanthippe,

You need to have a closer look at what I wrote.

If you can show me which verse or concept you felt like “I am putting a defense for God,” I will stop writing.

Xanthippe,

This is not preaching. These thoughts arose in me when I saw many blaming God under yesterday’s OP: “Do they even realise how disgustingly immoral this is and how badly it reflects on the God they worship?”

Cofty,

It is nonsense to you because you don’t want to give sense just like it is said “beauty is in the mind of the beholder.” Try this as though you are hearing for the first time, and see whether it would make any difference.

No one likes to live in a fragmented way which means we like to feel complete, or whole. Somehow, we sense that complete whole is more complete than just the sum of its parts. Interestingly, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary defines holistic in much the same way: “The view that an organic or integrated whole has a reality independent of and greater than the sum of its parts.” This is true because I know that I am more than a sum of oxygen (65%), carbon (17.5%), hydrogen (10.2%), nitrogen (2.4%), calcium (1.6%), and phosphorus (which makes almost 99% of the mass of the human body) and potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium …. etc (which makes the rest of the body). It is too obvious that there is an invisible axis that hold them together and that make me feel I am constitutionally whole, because of which I know that I am not this body, this mind, this intelligence; but I am a spiritual dimension. No wonder Yoshinori Ohsumi, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine, said in his acceptance lecture in December 2016: “Life is an equilibrium state between synthesis and degradation of proteins.” In similar vein, French physiologist, Claude Bernard, wrote: “Stability of internal environment (in the body) is the condition for free and independent life.” Words such as equilibrium, synthesis, stability… point to something other than physical, higher energy. When it enters, body starts functioning, and when it exits body stops functioning. Leaving this most important aspect is like taking care of bird-cage and neglecting the bird.

What is true of my body which is like a universe in miniature is true of the macro universe. Certain things are too obvious that we don’t insist for proof. When we hear “no mountain is possible without valley” we don’t ask for proofs. His non-intervention and non-communication show that He is not interested in our praise/worship, and He has left maintenance to humans because they are capable of doing it if they want. Look, already some parts of earth are paradise, and some countries are doing without war which means humans can make the whole earth paradise again, if they want.

_Morpheus

I feel a deep respect and love towards God because He gives freedom to people even to deny His existence, and He never punishes them. And equally good is He in that He doesn't do any favor to those worshiping Him.
