kelvinlink: Is God a man or a Spirit?
Why did he created only one Son?
Maybe he has more Sons and daughters?
Was Jesus christ the Son of God?
Or just a great prophet of God?
How come nobody talks about the Wife of God?
Maybe Jesus has a heavenly mother?
What happened to Joseph the Carpenter, the
husband of Mary?
Why did the compilers of the bible and the
disciples intentionally didn't write anything
about him?
What happened between the Missing period of
Jesus christ life 12-30?
Will it make any difference if he actually worked
as a carpenter for years under Joseph?
Did he not severally said it himself that he is not
GOD?
Did he not severally said that all those who are
led by the spirit of God are the SONS OF GOD?
What Original Sin did he died for to cleanse
away the Sins of the world?
Haven't previous Prophets of God been
misunderstood and Crucified?
The Crucifixion (Nailing on the cross) was the
standard way the Romans at the time crucified
EVERY convicted criminal, wasn't it?
Jesus christ crucifixion was not the first and the
last ?
Why do we bother ourselves with the narrow
chronology of the Israelites..... ?
Were there not diverse tribes, nations and
countries at the time.....where people not
already living in America, Africa, Oriental Asia?
The History of the world did not start with the
accounts of the Israelites as written down in
their own chronology or is it?
Were there not various oral unwritten
traditional accounts of creation and the
Kingdom of Heaven held to be sacred also by
the Orients , Native India and Africans in time
past?
Are there not many Religions in the World, with
everyone claiming to be the true one?
Has it even occur to you that God is not a
Christian, but simply God?
Was it not Man in his search for his life source
that invented the Word God?
Listen to your heart and tell me you don't feel
deeply that GOD is greater than the God man
has invented?
The word Christian is not an heavenly name or
is it now?
Wasn't it humans who describe the disciples of
Jesus as Christ like.....Christians?
Why do we christians have this subtle arrogant
deep belief that we are the ones going to
heaven or the ones that knows the truth about
God and the rest are just ignorant ?
Are we even Christians....Real Christians?
Gandhi once told a british missionary he would
have been a Christian if only he had met
one.... ?
Why do we laugh at muslims rewards of Ten
virgins in Heaven...."If they do Allah's will" and
yet we do not see any funny joke in our own
"Mansions waiting for us in Heaven" ?
Do you not know of billions of people across the
world who are neither Christians or muslims,
but people who just live life simply and follow
no Religion, dogma or tradition?
Why have we clouded our minds with Religion,
and please don't tell me Christianity is not a
religion or a faith based belief system, because
it is or is it not?
Did Jesus christ paid tithe or did he requested
for it?
If he wanted, could he not have embarked on
some glamorous building of Temples and places
of worship dedicated to his father God?
Did he not strive to live simple and humble?
Funny enough, those who even walked with him
and later wrote about him....didn't even fully
understood his teachings at the time or did
they?
Why have we reduced God to a man or even
pinned down a Son to him?
Do you know that Muslim clerics perform
miracles too in the name of Allah?
Buddhist masters also heal diseases and
perform acts of miracles in their temples...
Do you know muslims are prosperous and their
Allah blesses them without Tithe payment or
sowing seeds ?
What seeds did you sow before the sun came up
today?
What seeds will you sow to God to make the
moon to shine bright at night??
We have turned God into a Seed God, more like
a Farmer God ??
If you had been born in Saudi Arabia or even
Kano to a muslim parents, your name probably
would have been Ibn saiyd mohammed and not
paul, peter or esther ?
Does it really matter what religious beliefs you
adhere to?
Think about it really hard......Does God look
Religious to you?
Do you think he cares about if you are Christian,
Muslim or Buddhist ?
Have you ever wondered if all his Spirit living
within you really cares about is just "The
content of your Character" the perfect harmony
of your thoughts, words and actions and not
religious sects beliefs , payment of tithe or
accumulation of church attendance?
Why is it so hard to free ourselves from this
mental slavery of Religious beliefs?
God is not even Religious.....
The present day state of Isreal and Jewish
people are not even Christians or are they?
Just tune in into any tv station and you will see
the effects of Religious beliefs!
Stop this argument about arch angels, debating
upon old documented accounts of persons long
gone...........
Just look at the argument surrounding the role
Awolowo played in The Nigerian civil war
(1967-1970) and the many controversies and
interpretations of events still fresh in the
memories of survivals, then why do you
aimlessly argue about events thousands of years
old....why ?
God is not a man....
God will not do for man what he must do for
himself .........
Why will God come and die for the sins of the
world
What sins are you even talking about
What Original sin did he came to die for?
God is not a man...............
Which serpent crawled into the garden?
Which forbidden fruit?
Humans in their search for God ......created
God. Their own description of God and even
gave him a son with arch angels.......
The best we can call him is God or Allah
He, She or It........whatever it is.......is Almighty
and All Powerful.
God is not a christian or a muslim.....he is simply
GOD!
Stop trying to gain relevance by claiming to be
his special people.
He, She or It.......whatever it is......is for
everyone one....Yea....Everyone!
Even a blind man knows a face filled with Love.
God is Love.
Whatever represents or emboldened Love is
God. Everything good, peaceful and lovely.
Love......Love.......and Love!
Stop these fabled stories that started within a
small tribe in Asia.
Africans were already living at the time and
they also had there own special covenant and
relationship with God
Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te ching (The way of the
Tao) 500BC.......BC....not AD.
Do you think God will honestly care if you are a
christian or not ?
Your thoughts, words and actions are what
counts and not race, lineage, culture, accent or
colour.
There is no unity even among those who claim
to be of the same christianity fold .
Christians of different denominations hate each
other more than even Muslims do....or is it not
so?
God is not a christian or Muslim
Stop giving him a son
Or better still....why dont you just go ahead and
also attribute a wife to him?
More like God, his wife and Son....ehnnnn.
God lives within you
Yes.....Within you and not in a heaven.
He is with you always.
Listen more to his voice within you.
Within you....In you.
Listen to your heart.
Observe the dictates of your Instincts.
Be still in your Self.
God is with You.
You are a God on Earth
Yes you are.
You are co-creators
You create your own World
Same Nature and Spirit
No one can see God face to face and live or can
they?
People saw Jesus
He bled...Cried....got angry.....got saddened
God is a Spirit
The Spirit is God
The Spirit of God is God.
You are a Spirit.
Deep down you know you are.
The doctrine of the Trinity started hundred of
years after the death of Jesus.
God is not a Trinity.
Stop the Confusion
Christians are not the only ones in the world
Just go ahead and live a purpose driving life.
Obey the rules governing your environment.
Listen to your own heart.
Let Love guide you in all you do.
Amen.

Matthew briggs: Quite very useful tips. Moreover adding to the op's tips on building confidence. There are 3 core steps to gaining self confidence. I will use my life experiences to relay them.

1. Build your intellect, Increase your knowledge base - I was once a shy person an extreme introvert, in fact my mum told me when I was little when visitors came around I always ran and hid my self. Lack of self confidence plagued me during my early years.

Until at a very young age I got to stay with a lecturer and everything changed, I had access to this amazing library and an awesome collection of books. I was hungry for knowledge and I therefore read ferociously, My knowledge and intelligence grew tremendously. It boosted my confidence I felt more sure of my self and abilities, I knew I was not empty but carried something very few carried. Till today the hunger for knowledge has never died.

Knowledge is the ultimate self confidence boaster. It helps you stand tall in front of your peers because you know what they don't. I got to understand that every one of us have our insecurities, fears, weakness and imperfections, we are all afraid of something no matter how beautiful, handsome or strong we look. Moreover I learnt that knowledge and intellect is not enough.

2. Look and Act confident :- Been brilliant and knowledgeable is not enough, you've got to let the world know you have strong belief in your self and capabilities. The catch is that I think 70% of human communication is non verbal meaning, people access you based on how you carry your self.

The way you walk, talk, sit and stand . With this new found knowledge, I refined the way I walked, I walk like someone that's on a mission no dragging of my feet or walking like someone who has all the time in the world. I sit like an executive that's in a board meeting, I talk assertively, clearly and intelligently, I look at you in the eyes when I have too. I stand uprightly in firm postures. To pull this off you've got to imagine your self as the CEO of a fortune 500 company or have a role model you look up to. Mine was Apple' s late Steve jobs, Oracle's Larry elision and Obama.

3. Build a track record of achievements, gather some bragging rights - The most surest way to build your confidence is putting yourself out there and doing something that you can look back and pat yourself in the back saying "I did this sh*t". That's nothing that more self assuring than looking back at your achievement it might academical, physical, financial etc. and there they stand speaking for you.

In my case I dared to do stuff others were afraid of, taught my self software's people were scared of and went on to do projects that when I look back during my darkest hours I smile and say to my self " dude you did this".

Self confidence is not a destination but a journey. It a process, a state of mind affected by what you feed your mind with.

I have not achieved hundred percent confidence as I write this, I still have my heart beating fast when am about to make a speech, but I have surely come a long way. I have this unwavering belief in my self and ability to deliver.

Finally if you can't act confident, fake it.
