tctrills:
As I said, we have different religions. Thanks for explaining yours like I am in primary 1

I don't have any religion. Religion is for crowd control.
Spirituality is relationship with the source.
It is aligning with the source. .....stop coming here and tell us about a man that was executed on a cross. The story says he was tried and executed. Does NOT mean anything.

tctrills:
Anyway, everyone has his own religion. In your religion, your god is not worshipped, he only gave you commandments.
It's ok

Let me explain to you like you are in primary 6.
God created the heavens and earth and everything that is within it. He saw that everything was good. Then on the last day of creation, he took dust from the earth and molded the statue of a man. He then sent his spirit into it and the statue came to life, made another one and added some judicious features and sent his spirit into it and it also came to life....so God spirit is not living inside the statue. So that spirit can now experience life ...he can enjoy his creation..
That is what each one of us is. We are God's spirit experiencing life in various ways as humans....when our time is up. Our spirit returns to God and becomes one with it and our body is buried and it becomes one with the earth(Ecclesiastes 12:7) so which one needs saving. And you see why I said that death is an illusion. It is just return to default.
So as the human population continues to increase it becomes important for them to live in peace and remind us where we came from hence the Torah, then for those who don't know and don't want to know.....like you. They created religion to control you.

P

tctrills:
So your point is that we are all Gods hence we shouldn't worship any other God.
I now understand you but I disagree

That is why God only gave us laws to follow so that we will live in peace amongst ourselves. He never said we should worship anything, if he wanted, he would have told us or given us the mode of worship.

Because we are all Gods, you focus too much on the body and forget what is actually inside or living within it.u

tctrills:
Man is also a consciousness so what exactly do you mean

So if Jesus existed, he is no different from me and you. Worshipping him is tantamount to idolatry. ....
We all all conscious beings, we are all spiritual beings living within a physical body made from dust.
We are all Gods having a human experience in multiple ways....

I don't know what is hard there that you can't understand

🌌 WEEKLY SERIES — DAY 2

WHY DOES GOD IN RELIGION ACT SO HUMAN?

Let’s ask a question most people were never encouraged to think deeply about:

If God is infinite…
beyond time…
beyond emotion…
beyond human limitation…

👉 why does God in many religious texts behave so much like ancient human rulers?

Think about it honestly.

Religion often describes God as:
👉 jealous
👉 angry
👉 offended
👉 demanding worship
👉 punishing disobedience
👉 favoring certain tribes
👉 ordering violence
👉 requiring sacrifice

Now pause.

🔥 Are these truly divine qualities…
or reflections of ancient human psychology?

---

🌿 PART 1 THE GOD OF ANCIENT SOCIETIES

Ancient civilizations were built around:
👉 kings
👉 empires
👉 tribal loyalty
👉 warfare
👉 patriarchy
👉 obedience to authority

The ruler was feared.
The ruler demanded loyalty.
The ruler punished rebellion.
The ruler rewarded submission.

And when people imagined God…

they often imagined:
🔥 a cosmic version of the same ruler.

A heavenly king.

So naturally:
👉 anger became divine wrath
👉 tribal loyalty became “chosen people”
👉 war became “holy war”
👉 obedience became salvation
👉 punishment became eternal judgment

The psychology of human power structures became projected onto the Divine.

---

🌿 PART 2 THE QUESTION OF JEALOUSY

Many scriptures describe God as:
👉 jealous

But think carefully about that.

Jealousy usually comes from:
👉 insecurity
👉 fear of losing control
👉 emotional attachment
👉 ego identity

So why would an infinite being need:
👉 validation?
👉 praise?
👉 exclusive worship?

Would infinity really feel threatened by human beings praying differently?

Or is jealousy a deeply human emotion later projected onto God by ancient cultures trying to protect tribal identity?

Because tribal societies survived through:
👉 loyalty
👉 unity
👉 obedience to one system

And religion became one of the strongest tools for preserving that unity.

---

🌿 PART 3 BLOOD SACRIFICE AND PUNISHMENT

Now let’s go deeper.

Many religious systems taught:
👉 sacrifice
👉 blood offerings
👉 punishment for sin
👉 divine wrath needing satisfaction

But ask yourself honestly:

🔥 Why would an all-powerful Source require blood to forgive?

Ancient humans practiced sacrifice long before many organized religions formed.

Why?

Because ancient cultures believed:
👉 the gods needed appeasement
👉 blood carried spiritual power
👉 suffering satisfied divine anger

And over time…
those same ancient ideas became embedded inside religious systems.

But does infinite consciousness really operate through vengeance and appeasement?

Or were humans interpreting the mystery of existence through the mindset of their era?

---

🌿 PART 4 FAVORITISM AND TRIBAL GODS

Another difficult question:

Why do many religions present God as:
👉 favoring one tribe?
👉 one nation?
👉 one religion?
👉 one chosen group?

History shows ancient societies were extremely tribal.

Every tribe believed:
👉 “our god protects us”
👉 “our people are chosen”
👉 “our enemies are evil”

And suddenly…
God begins reflecting human tribalism too.

But if Source created all life…

would Source truly:
👉 hate entire populations?
👉 divide humanity into favorites?
👉 condemn billions based on geography and culture?

Or does that sound more like human tribal identity projected onto the heavens?

---

🌿 PART 5 THE BIG QUESTION

This does not mean spirituality is fake.

It means humanity may have mixed:
👉 divine mystery
with
👉 human psychology

And maybe many religious descriptions of God tell us as much about ancient human societies…
as they do about ultimate reality.

Because maybe Source is not:
👉 angry
👉 insecure
👉 tribal
👉 emotionally reactive

Maybe those were human attempts to explain the unknown through the lens of power, fear, survival, and control.

And maybe awakening begins when people stop fearing God as a cosmic ruler…

and start seeking the deeper intelligence behind existence itself.

🔥 Because if God is truly infinite…

why does God in religion behave so much like ancient men?

Drop your thoughts below. Let them come. 🌿

Do you know what "the letter killeth" actually means?
This is what you usually get when you look at scriptures with your physical eyes, and it is killing. They were never meant to be interpreted that way. We are expected to view it with our spiritual eyes, the eyes of our mind. Our so called third eyes....
The Torah (which is the heart and soul of the Bible) is about rising our consciousness beyond our ego. The wars is between our higher consciousness vs our Ego.
Abraham slaughtering of the kings represent our defeat of the 7 deadly sins. . The Amalikites represent doubt, etc....The Torah was written by Ezra when the Israelites return home from the Babylonian exile..it is not a historical story but a spiritual manual...


Jesus is supposed to be Marduk but he was never on earth., Marduk is the creator of the heavens and the earth according to the Babylonian mythology he is also the son of Enki. It's all deception. The purest form of evil is deception.
There was never any Jesus who was a son of God and walked the earth.
My overall point is that God is consciousness and the scriptures should not be viewed with our physical eyes.

tctrills:
You wrote so much stuff but let's start from the beginning, why do you think God should be beyond emotions?
That's describing a robot.

God is consciousness....the divine consciousness. Not a man or human being.

I have my own questions for him. In a minute

My belle wan tear with laughter......
Hey, una dey try oh....

From beginning to now, nobody seems to understand anything. So sad.

Like somebody just posted on X, Jesus is Santa Claus for adults.....

[quote author=IseOluwa777 post=139400874]No. Jesus Christ is NOT the Almighty God revealed in flesh, As christian claim
Scriptural explanation:
-

The Bible says a child would be born and called “The mighty God, The everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9:6). That’s Jesus.[/quite] Capital NO, the child Isaiah was talking about has already been born, the child was already 6 years old at the time. the child was already given and Isaiah could see the child. that is why he wrote in past tense NOT in future tense. please read that passage again. The son he was talking about is future king Hezekiah. he would take over from his father (king Ahaz) and during his tenure there would be peace and prosperity, because he would be a righteous king. when the righteous are in power, the people rejoice.

[quote]“Emmanuel… God with us” (Matthew 1:23). Not a second person—God Himself with us.

Immanuel is Isaiah's second son. the oracle was for king Ahaz, it is to assure him that his kingdom will survive the threat of Syria and the northern 10 kingdom.
-[s] “God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). That flesh is the Son; the One in Him is God. [/s]
[s]- Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). That’s the very Name of the eternal God.

plesion:
The Lord said that His Kingdom is not of this world. He did fulfill the prophecies about Himself, but yet some of them were fulfilled spiritually historically, and not naturally historically. So, while the Jewish Church at that time, at least, considerable part of it, was expecting the Lord according to the letter alone, and expecting the literal alone fullfillment, the Lord showed that some things were to happen spiritually. And so that part of the Jewish Church which was more interested in the truth, then in their own tradition, was able to see in the Word the genuine sense of the prophecies. Thus, it was at that time, when they looked to the Messiah or the Christ, that they were able to understand genuinely the Olt Testament, and whatever is said in them about the Lord Himself.

However, that part of the Jewish Church which was expecting the worldly rules, was dispersed, and then some of it later gathered in Israel, despite even the letter of the Word, and so they are, at least, in their old orthodox part, is still waiting for the worldly Messiah, and so is not so much favourable towards the Christianity, which is from onhigh, and so the idea of the heaenly kingdom, and New Jerusalem is also from onhigh. And as such it does not have to do anything with the old Jerusalem.

As far as the sacrifice is concerned, God made prophecies in the Old Testament, and part of it included stories about how He was to be treated , when He comes. And so God Himself, having assumed the Human in the world, which is meant by His Son, was treated in the way described, treated in the same manner, as the truth of the Word was treated in Jewish Churhc at its decline. God came out of Love, and out of Love He gave the Human of HIs Own as the sacrifice or gift, so that His Human may be gloried, become Divine, and the man may later worship the visible God, who manifested the Invisible.

If I say I understood anything you wrote up there, I would be the greatest liar..There is no prophet that reported that God was going to come as a human being? Why though....I don't understand you. When did God say that. You did not provide any quotation from the Tanakh.
The Messiah God promised to send is supposed to be an ordinary man like me and you. He would be from the tribe of Judah. He is supposed to be from the line of David through Solomon his son. NOT A DEMI GOD.
There are 6 principal prophecy that the Messiah is supposed to fulfill. J.man did NOT fulfill anyone. There is no second coming arrangement,
He is not coming to die for sins, God has already given them a solution to problem of sin.see 2nd chronicles 7:14

So please explain yourself with quotes.

This is a thought provoking question. Christianity is supposed to have originated from Israel, at least that is what they made us to understand. Why is it banned as a religion in Israel then?
If any of it was true, they would be at the for front of it, but the opposite is what is obtainable.
The Israelites have an everlasting covenant with God which was founded on obeying the divine laws. God choose them to be his people. They where supposed to be the light to the nations. But often times they don't and he punishes them accordingly.
There was never a time that he promised them he was going to send "his son" as a sin offering to be a second or new covenant. They know that embracing Christianity will lead to God's wrath. So they stay far away from it.
Christianity has got nothing to do with the Israelites period.

erniok:
Your link agreed he existed but only critiqued the Christians making him a God. The question is why would the Romans invent him. To rival their gods? So they can persecute those who believe in him? It doesn't make any sense stating he's a Roman creation with zero proof.

Emperor Constantine wanted a single religion for his empire. He called all the religious leaders to Nicaea to deliberate and choose one. They had Mithrasm and Christianity (worship of serapis) to choose from. They voted to go with Christianity. Serapis became Jesus at the council of Ephaseus in 431 that serapis became Jesus

I believe in the Bible God, jehovah,and not ur abstract God who u say he passed instructions from ur primitive ancestors mouth to mouth to ur own generation.why u come dey form like say I dey speak strange language...the African traditional religions u tried to pride urself with did all those primitive stuffs..why u dey form....my dear bro, accept the true God,just try to know more of him from the pages of the Bible,seek those who know more of the Bible and they'll help u learn fast,ok?

Wao, after your ancestors did all those, they now accepted the gods of those who came to enslave them.....and then passed it on to you. Wao, that is really something.
So they think somehow, God will forget all the atrocities and abomination they committed on the land. No wonder God is still using fulani herdsmen to punish you people.....
Come back to your roots and sincerely ask for forgiveness and repent. Not cover it up with idolatry given to you by your enslavers...

Towncrier007:
Focus on the fact that we are at the last minute of the end of age... Christ is coming soon

This is exactly what Paul told the people of Thesolonia 2000+ years ago.... obviously they were telling themselves. ..And now you have taken the baton...you will pass after your number is up and you will pass it on to your children. ......make una continue oh...sense is chasing some people, but they are running faster....

erniok:
Did. Scanned through didn't notice the "christ" part.

My reference is Jesus and your link says Christians invented christ. Just his personal opinion. Still waiting for your proof that Romans invented jesus.

There is none....there is silence. Is like looking for the existence of incredible Hulk beyond Marvel comics. There is none at all. The silence from people who would have known is deafening.

There is nothing about him anywhere outside of the Roman Catholic Church canonized works...The Jews don't know anything about him outside of what Christians are saying...

oroje1:
Meaning you served an unknown god through your alusi,cos the new yam festivities are dedicated to these idols.then how come ur primitive ancestors came about the killing of twins and albinos,and sacrificing of humans during their feasts? Is it the true God, Jehovah who gave them those erroneous viewpoints?

Wao...so your ancestors did all those, wao...no wonder he is using the fulani herdsmen to punish them. Wao, your ancestors really commit atrocities.......

Meeeen, you really need to go for Deliverance. Your bloodline is corrupted.

Theawakensoul:
I understand your point, and honestly, you’re not far from what I’m saying.

When you say God is the universal divine consciousness and that we are spiritual beings having a human experience… I agree with that perspective.

But here’s where I’m pointing to something deeper:

👉 “Christ consciousness” is not a different God.
👉 It’s not separate from that divine consciousness you mentioned.

It is the awakened awareness of that truth within a human being.


In simple terms:

God = the universal source / divine consciousness
Christ consciousness = the realization and expression of that divine nature within you


That’s why Yeshua said:

“The Kingdom of God is within you.”

He wasn’t just talking about God being present…

👉 He was pointing to a state of awareness people can awaken to.



So Christ was not just a person to worship…

👉 It was a level of consciousness He embodied and demonstrated.

And the message (in my understanding) was:

👉 “What I am, you can become aware of.”



The problem is…

That message was later turned into something external, something to believe in, instead of something to awaken to.


So when I talk about Christ consciousness, I’m simply describing:

👉 The awareness of your divine nature
👉 Living from that awareness
👉 Not just knowing it intellectually, but experiencing it



You’re right that God is within everyone…

The real question is:

👉 Are we aware of it, or just repeating it?


If you’re open to exploring it deeper, I broke it down more here:

Awareness Over Belief. 🔥

This is what I saw on X.com, ike 2 minutes ago. Did you get it from there?

I understand

Even your own exhibit denies you. How do you intend to dig yourself out of this one,

Did you even check it out....

tctrills:
I don't know what you think I see. But seen you can't explain let's leave it.

The bible makes it clear that man is not able to pay for so and only God has such power. If that is a contradiction to you, no one can help you.

Where did you get all these from. ?
Stop adding to God's word.

Or you don turn God adviser?

erniok:
So there was no real Jesus. It's just an imagination of the Romans right?

Now your getting it.
In Justin Martyre dialogue with Trypho, He accused Christians of inventing a Christ for them selves.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Did+Trypho+accuse+the+christians+of+inventing+a+christ+for+themselves

MaxInDHouse:
Demons were worshiped as gods before people were enlightened.

Just tell me what the gods of your ancestors promised them and how these gods are fulfilling their promises today!

See what the Bible said to worshipers of demons:

Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever he pleases.  Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands.  A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes, but they cannot see;  Ears they have, but they cannot hear; A nose, but they cannot smell; Hands they have, but they cannot feel; Feet, but they cannot walk; They make no sound with their throat. The people who make them will become just like them, As will all those who trust in them. Psalms 115:3-8

Now prove that your ancestors aren't worshiping demons by telling me one promise the gods of your ancestors made about you and your generation and how they are fulfilling such promises?

I don't need to tell you anything, God gave us laws we kept them. And as such he protected us during the Nigerian -Biafran civil wars. Nobody from there died.......

You ancestors worship demons and idols, I don't blame them. They never had any convenat with the creator like us.
Now that they are supposed to be enlightened, they are worshipping a white man from Israel......so sad of them.

oroje1:
So which religion did the creator of heaven and earth pass on to your African ancestors that I need to know about?

So you just read to respond, not to understand what I wrote.... indeed they have eyes but can't see.

I said , God only gave us laws to keep and follow.
Do not take what does not belong to you
Do not sleep with another man's wife
Do not kill any body deliberately.if any body offends you, report to the obi in council. If the person is found guilty,he is banished.
Etc....
We have a four days cycle...Nkwo, Eke, Orie Afor.....
We have festivals like the new yam festival and laws guiding it......
You can't marry within the same kindred.


Etc.
Even during the civil war, nobody from my village died. The Nigerian soldiers went round our village, but never entered. God protected us.....

In addition to what I said above, one other take from the story is that man was introduced to one important principle. It is one of the 7 hermetic principles.....The principle of polarity.
Life and death
Say the night
Up and down
Right and wrong
Cold and hot.
They are basically the same thing, only difference being in degree.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The author of the Genesis story never said Satan, even when God was dishing out punishment, Satan was NEVER mentioned. I wonder where Christian got the idea from. They mistakenly think the serpent mentioned in revelation is same story. The serpent mentioned in revelation is Tiamat. That story happened before the creation of the heavens and earth by Marduk.
I'm the original take of how man lost the chance at immortality, the serpent of the good tree was Ninghizhida and the serpent of the evil tree was Dimuzzi..
The Jewish recast of Genesis has to be either of the two, but for some reason I am leaning towards Ninghizhida. He was the one who lead Adapa(Adam/Man) into Anu's presence.

The story in Genesis is an Allegory. It tells how many lost the chance at immortality. We have similar story in Igbo land about the tortoise and the hare.one was given the fruit of life and the other the fruit of death. The first to get to man was the tortoise with the fruit of death......the message in both cases. Man lost the chance to dwell indefinitely on earth....

The book of Job was written by Jeremiah during the Babylonian exile. In the original tale, the God there was Marduk and Satan was Enlil(the Lord of the wind). It was written to educate the Jews that God is sovereign over all his creation and nobody does anything without his ok. That Satan needs an expressed permission from God to act.
The Babylonian society was more polarized than whatever you can think off. They had their different cult centres, but the Lord God creator of the heavens and earth was Marduk the lugal dimmer ankia (divine king of heaven and earth).

AntiChristian:
Old Testament:
In Job 1, Satan comes before God asking permission to test rightous Job’s faithfulness. God allows Satan to take everything from Job except his life (Job 1:6-12). The calamities that befall Job, including fire destroying his property, come by God’s permission, not Satan’s independent power. Satan was simply God's tool to test Job by killling his family and destroying his properties!

Contrast with New Testament:
Jesus casts out demons and rebukes Satan’s power, showing that Satan’s reign is broken (Mark 1:23-27, Luke 10:18). Satan is condemned and defeated through Christ’s authority (John 12:31). Aren't Satan God's tool any more? Why cast out God's messenger?

Reflection:
In the Old Testament, Satan acts as a permitted tester under God’s sovereign control. In the New Testament, Jesus reveals Satan as the enemy to be overcome and cast out. When does the messenger become enemy?

You are a smart one aren't you?

Satan is under God's sovereignty, He does nothing without God saying "OK"....

As part of the insult against God the catholics created a Satan that is a dual opposite of God......which I find insulting.

🌿 WHAT IF YOU’VE BEEN WORSHIPPING THE WRONG IDEA OF GOD?

Pause… and think about this honestly:

👉 What if the problem is not God…
👉 But the version of God you were given?


---
Most people never question this.

They inherit an image of God from:

Religion

Culture

Tradition


And they accept it as absolute truth.


---
But look closely…

The God many people fear today is:

Angry

Judgmental

Easily offended

Quick to punish

Demanding constant worship



---
Now ask yourself…

👉 Does that sound like a loving Source…
Or a being shaped by human fear and control?


---
Because here’s the truth many avoid:

👉 You don’t relate to God as IT is…
👉 You relate to God as you were taught.


---
And if what you were taught is limited…

👉 Your experience of God will be limited.


---
This is why many people:

Fear God instead of knowing IT

Obey out of fear instead of love

Feel distant instead of connected



---
But what if…

👉 God is not separate from you?
👉 God is not outside watching and judging you?


---
Yeshua said:

“The Kingdom of God is within you.”


---
Not far away.
Not hidden in a place.

👉 Within you.


---
So what if the real mistake…

👉 Is not that you don’t believe in God enough…

👉 But that you’ve been believing in the wrong idea of IT?


---
An idea that keeps you:

Dependent

Afraid

Disconnected from your true nature



---
Because the moment you begin to question that idea…

👉 Everything starts to shift.


---
You stop fearing…

And start understanding.

You stop searching outside…

And start awakening within.


---
This is the journey I had to take myself.

Not to reject God…

👉 But to discover truth beyond what I was told.


---
If this makes you uncomfortable…

Good.

👉 That’s where real awakening begins.

God is within each and every one of us.
Like I always say here, we are all spiritual beings just having a human experience, not the other way round.

You have to explain your idea of Christ consciousness.
