What If We Are Not All Wrong? by sarmy(m): 9:54am On Sep 30, 2010
What if we are not ALL WRONG?

If Faith cometh by hearing and continuous hearing over and over again, if faith cometh based on level of awareness, it means our belief is a function of our present and previous environmental conditions in addition to some other factors

This world will not make sense if we all think the same way, speak the same way and do things the same way, God’s plan and purpose for this world is diversity, God loves diversity, reason why he scattered us all around the world with different languages, color and natural endowments. He created different animals, plants, flowers, rocks, mountains, etc for different environments

We have been so intolerant of each other, egocentric and plaque with superiority complex, I believe God’s aim is not for us to be born the same way, think the same way, dwell in the same place, or worship him the same way.

I strongly believe, the universal laws of God can be observed by all irrespective of ones faith, race, color or gender. Even if you don’t believe he exists, his laws can still be observed by you because his seed is embedded in you by default; the fulfillment of law is LOVE which is available to ALL

We can not fulfill God's plan until we start loving each other, most especially those of different faith. If you must win souls for God, you must show love to ALL

Appreciating our differences, respecting others view, learning to understand and be understood, if all faith can dwell more on common areas rather than differences, if only we could realize that we are all parts of God and nothing else exist but God in ALL peace and harmony will naturally become inevitable

Actually, we are all a part of the whole TRUTH. In that sense, we are all right. But the EGO that dwell in man will never accept that, at least not until the Ego's hold on our minds and soul has been thoroughly diminished.

And talking about winning souls for God, each person can start with themselves by working on their respective souls to connect to God. And no, God is not religion.

You are right, the issue of soul winning should not really be about converting others to ones religion but by helping others to re-connect back to God. What religion is doing to most people is like washing the outside of a vessel.

@poster,
there is no what if in the matter.

you have already hit the nail on the head.

the world is the way it is because that is the way that God wills it.

the purpose is for us to learn how to love. it will be too easy for us to love those that are like us. those who share the same views as us. so God mixed it up a bit and created different races, different religions and different cultures.

you as an individual soul have to strive to rise above these differences and love without bias or prejudices then and only then can you get close to God.

The responsibility is on us to rise above hate even in our differences and embrace love. God has not failed in his plan, everything is in accordance to his master plan.


we must dig it out - why he made us, why we are here and for what purpose.

we are all spiritual beings having a human experience on earth. This is a fact, so the faster we each acknowledge this and work with the natural laws and proper principles the faster and easier we create success, harmony, peace, health, wealth and abundance in our lives. When enough of us live in this way, we will shift the planet with critical mass and transform the quality of life on earth so that everyone is properly cared for.

Peace and proper distribution of all resources is possible by each of us unfolding to our highest expression and actualizing our divine potential. This is also known as 'Right Livelihood.' When this happens there will be peace and no more wars will be fought and we will properly care for mother earth and each other. Everyone will have food, shelter and the basic necessities of life. This is where we are heading. Even if things get worse before they get better, this is where we are heading. We are all one, we are all connected and a part of life and the same creative force and energy. Whether you choose to acknowledge this reality or not, consciously or unconsciously this is a natural fact of the universe.

'When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.'

God made us all different huh? created some ppl with a heart of love and others with hate? if God indeed made us all different then nobody will take responsibility for whatever they do. afterall God made it that way,
