3 Things That Take The Place Of God In Your Christian life by Thepasserby(m): 11:43pm On Aug 05, 2017
Man was created with a longing to fellowship with the divine. Whether we like it or not, we are looking for God in one way or the other. When this God was supposed to be our all in all, we have now resulted to things that are now taking the place Of The divine in our lives.

Here are three things that are taking the place of God in our lives.

1. Knowledge,
When people acquire knowledge they feel they now have enough Evidences to tell the world that God does not exist.

2. Relationships
We now worship or serve Our girlfriend/boyfriend and even reverence them more than God.

3. Career

Also those three things can bring us much closer to God. It all depends in you and your relationship with this phenomena.

When people acquire knowledge they feel they now have enough Evidences to tell the world that God does not exist.
"The essence of Christianity is told to us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the Tree of Knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your forking mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions."
-- Frank Zappa



when we read a fictional fantasy, one has to suspend disbelief and go with the story to enjoy the tale. If one picks at the stories loose threads the whole yarn unravels.
That is why I think the web, the virtual forbidden tree of knowledge, is so helpful as those posing questions are answered with so few comprehensible answers.

The hand held device has almost made available to the curious youngsters, the entire accumulation of mankind's knowledge, at the touch of a little finger. The web is exposing the emotional content to intellectual scrutiny.
The web transmits information and promotes learning and more thus curiosity.

There is no device that transmits emotional belief.
The ir/relevance of emotional convictions pales in comparison to the real and practical human issues and problems that will require more doers, and less prayers. I think the internet promotes more skepticism towards organized faith, and/or the affirmation of faith, in most connected societies.
Time will tell.

stop making noise.
The Bible says that we profess to know God by the words of our mouth but by works we deny Him.
My dear it's not always about lips service.
Now lemme ask.. How many hours do you devote daily and deny the pleasures of the flesh to pray to God in the secrets.
Your duration of Facebook chats and browsing the Internet and duration of your personal Bible study, which one takes the greater duration?
Do you always preachd Christ in your work place/school and does The fruit of Christ manifest in your life outside?
Professing to love God isn't just by Professing with your lips cos I strongly believe by Works.

Lets summate the three into one. It is SELF. Only YOURSELF can take the place of God in your life.

I believe it's an individual thing... Everything in life is all about our attitude to life and situations. To me, all those things bring me closer to God! [color=#006600][/color]

Point 1 is very logical. Don't you think?

If these people with all these knowledge know God exists, they will tell people about him, not so?
Same thing goes. If with these knowledge they realize Jesus is just a literal imagination of very intellectual Roman propagandists (afterall, there is no historical evidence of Jesus), won't you expect they will say so too?
