When we become confused, we would naturally look to God’s guidance. See what happens if we turn to the Bible.

1) Noah became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. His son Ham reported the matter to his brothers who came and laid a garment on Noah’s naked body. Noah awoke from his wine and cursed Canaan instead of Ham, and consecrated this curse through a prayer, thus brought wrath of God on the entire Canaan race. Why? No answer.

(Genesis 9:20-27)

2) “‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death,” God told Moses. (Leviticus 20:1, 9) Then why Jesus was crucified instead of Satan who presented God as a liar to Adam and Eve. Why? No answer.

3) To the important question ‘Does the human spirit rises upward and the spirit of the animal go down into the earth?’ Bible itself answers “Who knows.” (Ecclesiastes 3:21)

4) To another important question ‘Why are some people born blind?’ Not only wrong, but a God-dishonoring answer is given (John 9:1-3)

Do we need spirituality or religion to be good socially responsible people ?

by Finkelstein in

religion is declining in many countries around the world and hardly exists in some countries.. it would fair to say that scientifically acquired knowledge has taken a bite of religious practice over the years.

the premising suggestion that there is a god looking at everything mankind does or should do is vanishing out the human consciousness.. should we emulate the social directives written in ancient manuscripts established by those ancients for their civilization ?

is it possible that mankind can control and guide itself now with all the acquired knowledge we have attained, toward the ending betterment of humanity ?

People and Governments who put their trust in the production and export of petrol and diesel suddenly find as though sand is eroding under their feet. After Paris Climate Agreement (signed by 195 countries on April 22, 2016) Governments all over the world are now vigorously planning to move on to electric vehicles because of the dangers caused to the climate by the use of fossil-based energy such as petrol and diesel.

This is all what is required. Humans can choose any path they want, but should change the course when they find need to change.

Great points Doubtful1799,

Knowledge of God is not required for anyone to be a good person because all sorts of people are found equally among both the groups—theists and atheists.

God is not the creator

by venus in

every theory (including darwin’s) primarily proves someone has to design a theory; every product primarily proves someone has to design it.

when neil armstrong and buzz aldrin landed on the moon it primarily proved intelligence of many people had to design that moon-mission.. 1) if every machine primarily proves someone designed it, then a much more complex, wonderful, and living machine with reproductive feature would mean the same: someone with corresponding ability, of higher energy, designed it because effect explains the cause just like harvest explains the sowing (whether you saw sowing or not).

science shows human body is like a complex machinery with many departments/systems (such as respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular/circulatory, renal/urinary, endocrine, nervous, musculoskeletal, integumentary/exocrine, lymphatic/immune, reproductive etc.

Morpheus,

Reason means the same thing for you and for me. Take out the reason, then we won’t be able to understand anything (let alone creators and The Creator). There's an old saying: "I know I do not see the world as it is, I see the world as I am".

OnTheWayOut

That is what the OP heading means "God is not the Creator", and that is what the concluding verse means: Within each human body, there is a creator.

OP is not about God The Creator because His non-intervention and non-communication obviously show that He wants to remain unidentified. If the Almighty really wants to get His message across with incontestable clarity He would definitely have various means at His disposal to do so. Using a rain-bow like writing that would appear on the sky at regular interval so that everybody can read in their language would be a too easy job for Him. If He doesn’t do that, then it means He knows everyone knows what is right and wrong, what is beneficial and wasteful which is really the truth because

1)Everyone knows what action of others make them happy/sorrowful which means everyone knows how they should act towards others.

2)Some parts of earth is already like paradise which means humans know how to make the whole earth paradise, if they want to.

3)Some countries have never partaken in any war from their very inception which means other countries know how to go about without war if they really want.

4)Knowledge of God is not required for anyone to be a good person because all sorts of people are found among both the groups—theists and atheists.

scatchme1010,

I would capture your reaction in the following scenario:

Raining is good news for an umbrella merchant whereas it’s sorrow for a potter.

Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?

by UnshackleTheChains in

i noticed a young brother with a beard being given more privelages within our hall.

when he first grew his beard, he lost his privelages.

but more and more recently he has been helping out a lot more.. the cobe is old school and a stickler for rules, but with the hall becoming more empty these days, and the need for young brothers, he seems to have relaxed on this particular watchtower/man made rule.

Such diluting of standard is typical of human writers. To dilute the self-evident statement in Genesis 1:29, 30 (which says about decreed vegetarian food for both animals and humans), humans writers invented a global flood (which wipes out vegetarian food) to introduce non-vegetarian diet. (Genesis 9:3, 4)

waton,

It is already there in the OP "conscious energy that cannot be created nor destroyed"

It had no beginnin and no end; hence no concern for us

MrRoboto

You are asking: "Do you thing there will be any long term effects of repressing the memories as you led her to do? Or is this a permanent overwrite of those memories?"

It is permanent overwrite--no harm is done just like you had a dream and you forgot about it. From your inability to recall a bad dream/nightmare, no harm is done. This is done in the spirit and principle of "To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it." I simply help the victim not to remember the harm done to them.

You might have heard about Dr. John Demartini, who used the affirmation towards himself: “I’m a genius and I apply my wisdom”, throughout his lifetime to accomplish amazing results and achieved outstanding success in his life. What he did to himself is done, under hypnosis, to somebody else.

Reading the above, some may feel like asking: What is the Source of your information?

Source is my own reading in between the lines, lectures, theories, experiences [intelligence, from intellegere, Latin, literally “read between lines” would actually mean reading between lines/happening and arriving at intuitive discernment]. After my clinical psychology study, I also learned Past Regression Therapy to practice it as a hobby (not for money) especially to help hapless victims. The best case I handled was of one teenage girl who was brutally gang-raped and thus went into deep depression. Parents tried every form of treatment—nothing worked. Her teacher was my class mate who told me to help her. She brought her to my house. I asked her, under hypnosis, to relate what happened. When she described every detail I stopped. In the next session, I asked her to relate what happened. When the scene before the rape came, I started saying forcefully—No, you didn’t go there, you were in such and such place, doing such and such thing, along with such and such people … thus replaced all her rape-memory with something else. After the session she never remembers anything about rape—completely normal and cheerful.

My theoretical studies and experiences that come from encounters with subconscious minds of other people make it too obvious that an inner creator exists in everybody.
