So I decided to open a thread on my random musings and daily observation of religion. These are just my thoughts and feelings.

This is great! And I believe it would be interesting

So let's start off with two praise and worship songs about religion. Enjoy!!.

How many religions are there in the world today?

4,300 religions
There are some 4,300 religions of the world. This is according to Adherents, an independent, non-religiously affiliated organisation that monitors the number and size of the world's religions.Oct 6, 2006.

Think deeply if you are an adherent of one of these religions because everyone of these 4,300 cannot be right!
If there is a god and that is a probability,then why would he allow these multiplicity of sects and cults with their various promises of reward if you obey their doctrines ?
Why would an almighty god allow men to write books of his doctrines for him/her/it?
Think deeply,for if there are 4,300 answers to the questions in your life,all of them cannot be right. Only one answer can be right. It then follows that 4299 answers are WRONG !!!


Last word~A slave has to know he/she is in bondage,before he/she can fight to be free. The indoctrination is very deep. Good day.

God of the Bible is the ONLY true God. All others I don't know. He has been / is being misrepresented for ages.

Pardon my question, but how can an omnipotent and omniscient God allow himself to be misrepresented in a universe he created?

he created us with free will. humans are not robots.

The same way you have the freedom to write on this thread whatever you would and He is watching you without any protest.

But he is omniscient and knows what I am going to write and he knows that what I wrote will make you respond as you just did. So where is the FREEWILL?

joyandfaith:

Humans become robots if the maker of the robot has predetermined the robots every move. The maker also knows the end of every move of the robot he created because he is omniscient.

no. you reap what you sow Gal 6:7. God has put before us life or death and we have liberty to choose anyone. if we obey him, life but otherwise it means death. deutl 30:19. humans are not robots and we do not become robots.

Wait,we are having a discussion on freewill and pre determination and your go to book is the bible??!!
I can pull ten quotes out of the top of my head from that book that shows there is no freewill in a world predetermined by an omniscient god.


Ephesians 1 v5.



New International Version
he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.

no bible verses support predetermination

MightySparrow:

Assuming god of the Bible as the Almighty God is the greatest error ever made by humans. How can you assume something which is less than 0.000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it as the whole of it? Okay, tell me, can God Almighty be caged or imprisoned? If not, why is the god of the Bible caged and imprisoned by the gods of science

Caveatemptor:

The freewill is what you are exercising now, that why there are spiritual laws he has put in place just like other laws to check excesses.

Psalm 139 v16
Ephesians 1 v5
Acts 13 v 48.
Roman's 8 v29.
Roman's 8 v 30
Ephesians 1 v 4.
Ephesians 1 v 11
2Titus 1v 9.
Phillipians 2 v 13.
John 6 v 65.

These passages from the bible prove that everything is predestined by a creator God so from whence cometh freewill?

This is so untrue of an omnipotent and omniscient God in a predetermined universe.

how?

tell me more

MightySparrow:

Are you not aware that currently, Jehovah, Allah and thousands of religious gods are being caged by the gods of science?

Expatiate

MightySparrow:
Expatiate

in the spiritual realm, this period is when the Age of Aquarius will come to fulfillment on earth. To achieve this age, human beings on earth have to start realising that religious gods are not God Almighty, rather, God is the TOTALITY of Existence. Science at this age is supposed to be what humans set their minds upon to help them achieve all things, rather than religion. In order to achieve this, the gods of science have to encage the gods of religion, so that reincarnation of religious beings into the earth will be an almost impossible task while science oriented people can freely be reincarnated into the earth. Therefore the gods of science encaged the gods of religion such as Jehovah, Allah, Moloch, etc. Many gods of religion joined the gods of science in their quest.

You understand Science can you tell me about Bible?

Caveatemptor:



Pardon my question, but how can an omnipotent and omniscient God allow himself to be misrepresented in a universe he created?

Because after His Last Official Appointment, many False followers of God now claim to represent Him.

Caveatemptor:


But he is omniscient and knows what I am going to write and he knows that what I wrote will make you respond as you just did. So where is the FREEWILL?

Ain't you heard the word "to see what they shall do?

MightySparrow:
You understand Science can you tell me about Bible?

Bible is one of the religious books on earth.

Caveatemptor:


Humans become robots if the maker of the robot has predetermined the robots every move. The maker also knows the end of every move of the robot he created because he is omniscient.

Do you not know that you are a robot of a unique variety?

Every move is preset and determined like chess pieces.

That is what it means to be a creation like chess pieces and the Greater watches to see what the "pieces" shall do!

OtemAtum:
Bible is one of the religious books on earth.

And you feel that science has invalidated what and whom it represent?

Caveatemptor:



Pardon my question, but how can an omnipotent and omniscient God allow himself to be misrepresented in a universe he created?

because he enjoys it .
