Must You Kill For God? by benodic: 5:02pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
why do people kill for God? what are they actually trying to achieve by killing for God? is it really necessary to kill for God? the essence of God is the holy spirit. This holy spirit is the origin of the life force which flows through all life sustaining all creation. the holy spirit dwells in every man and the only difference between one man and another is the degree of awareness of this spirit of God within us. the starting point of a spiritual life is surrendering to the will of God in our life and allowing our lives to be guided by the holy spirit. The spirit of God is a creative force and not a destructive force. It can never direct any one to kill another man why? because The spirit is in every one. Killing another man is killing a part of God because we are all parts of God. God gives us the free will to come to an awareness of Its role in our life at our own time. there is no compulsion. there is no force. there is only love. so you see it is absolutely not necessarily to kill in the name of God. if you do you are being a channel for the negative and destructive force known as the devil and not a channel for God. so my dear beloved souls let us remove bitterness from our hearts and give love a chance. let us know that love is all that matters and love is what will take us back to God. |

It is the belief of some people that when they kill, they have a reward that is why they go about burning houses and families and just doing massacre God does not support this at all |

@ mabell
this is the reason why our actions in life should not be based on someone else's interpretation of holy scriptures. rather we should learn how to ask God directly before undertaking any action. Father God this action i am about to do is it according to your will? then listen within for an answer. this for starters will help. |

are you not wondering why the very active Malevolent God of the old days (smiting and smoting nations with plagues, famine, earthquakes, drought, meteor showers, tsunamis and global floods) has taken a chill-pill and allowed his boys to do the dirty work instead? |

i do not think that there is any problem with God. i rather think that the problem lies with the human understanding of God. the people of old tried to make sense of the senselessness around them and ended up creating an image of God that is even more hideous than the devil itself. the question any sensible person should ask is why would God who created all life turn around and send some people to wipe out others in Its name. and why would God who created all life and says It loves all life suddenly start having favorites and start being jealous which are clearly negative human emotions. does it then mean that God is really not that much different from us in our purely negative, raw and crude state? if then why then should we bother to be perfect and to be good if by being jealous, envious, full of hatred and being killers we are already like God. this is a food for thought |
