What is the point in communicating with only a prophet and then having that prophet’s message written down? It is obvious that he wants us to come to know him, so why does he not make it easier for people to believe and choose to follow him? Why put people to the test not only in their righteousness but also in their ability in choosing the correct religion to follow? All three Abrahamic religions apparently worship the same God, but they contradict each other- why not set things straight through direct communication with all beings?
Why doesn’t mod delete five retard threads from the same asshole?
>>41175455I feel like a large part of spiritualism in the 90s , or around another recent enough era that I retardedly thought was the 90s. was the idea that god , does in a way show itself to people and maybe even in a constant way , but of course its supposed to be a personal thing and you need to read between the lines for it.it very much paid of for them , and I wonder if a lot of the actual big reason stuff feels differently is that we stoped having that mindset, but it does open a wierd , wierd question of improbable personal gods. modern people might be too autsic for it as well
>>41175455>What is the point in communicating with only a prophet and then having that prophet’s message written down?relativity anon. God is a God all about relationships (he himself being a trinity). The Bible itself and all of its commandments hinge on relationship, so he chooses to reveal himself via this method of relation, that is, through people. that's what love is all aboutyou are giving me free feel good points today with all your questions anonymous
>>41175455Cause we're in a simulation where connection to the Source has been cut off. They can't trap your soul though. They know you're powerful, thats why they have to depopulate the planet.
>>41175455>All three Abrahamic religions apparently worship the same God, They each trace back to different gods from the period of Semitic polytheism.
>>41175455There's nothing to reveal, look in the mirror.
>>41175455>What is the point in communicating with only a prophet and then having that prophet’s message written down?People believing firmly in the supernatural may regard their corporeal life as unimportant, and if gods gave them corporeal life for good reason, those contradict each other.
>>41175455He does, literally all of the time everywhere.People just don't attribute it to God because they are blind.
>>41175590He?
>>41175605>OP refers to God as 'himself'>Use 'he' for continuity>retard argues semanticsyou are here
>>41175455He does, actually. Seriously
>>41175948Specific examples
>>41175455God is actually a big mystery, and the more you know, the more mysterious things become. You can't simply describe God, or what God wants, in a book, or in a conversation, or even in a movie. Its always a continual refining of understanding, and an expansion of your awareness and consciousness to be able to see and comprehend more.God does speak with people individually, in their hearts. You have to willingly open your heart to his love, and there you will find more.I sort of view God differently perhaps. To some extent, its nature, to some extent, its love, to some extent, its existence, to some extent, its relationships. Its basically everything, but within that everything its all the small things that you don't notice or realize. You have to consider God as the most humble being in the universe. He needs no defense of his power, his majesty, his beauty, his purity, you need only look around you to see his handiwork everywhere. And at the same time, God is all powerful, but to me, that doesn't mean omnipotent in the sense of petty wish fulfillment. I mean all powerful in the sense that every bit of actual real power in the universe is his doing. That is the argument for God being nature.But perhaps that is unsatisfying, so God became man to satisfy our desire to relate to him. He revealed himself through Jesus, and Jesus revealed his fathers word to us.That is how we know his nature is love.If you know the nature of love, its all encompassing compassion. If lives for us, and dies for us, and takes the blame for us, and sacrifices itself for us. To know that form of God, is to know the most gentle, and perhaps weak form of him, but that gentle weakness is the force he nurtures and pours out from his heart to all of life, and through that all beings live and breath, every heartbeat. Every dust particle, is a portion of that pure love.To know God is humble, to see righteousness and nurture that love and kindle it into a great fire, is wisdom.
>>41175455Because you're a stupid shithead and so is most people and you'd want to troll him and insult him to his face but when he kills you, you won't realize it was him until you're burning in hell.
>keeps you in ignorance and obfuscates the nature of realitywhy would you want cattle to realize they're in a slaughterhouse
>>41175455Man innately knows there is a Creator. Man can innately feel a connection to something greater beyond himself. The need for a prophet is something only a religion requires, not a creator
>>41175455>Why doesn’t God reveal himself to everyone individually?God does this, you just have to reach out to Him with an open heart and not with a skeptical mind. Seek him as a friend, don't seek him as a scientist trying to prove God's existence.
>>41175455Whenever he does you just call the guy who he revealed himself to a schizo. What you're really asking is>Why won't God reveal himself to ME specifically?I don't know, he could choose to never do it for whatever reason. But the way I did it is by praying fervently and constantly out of desperation. His voice is quiet but direct, and he hardly says more than one or two words.
>>41175954my example, though you wont accept it. same with the entire OT. thats their example.
whose version of god? hindu? christian? asian? which denomination? can the priests talk to god? no. do they have someway to confirm their interpretation of the bible? no, thus the different factions. how are they "holy" if they have no way to communicate with their god? and the icing on the cake, you can confess on your death bed and go to heaven. no point in the church at all. i have also had insane experiences relating to my past lives which i will not talk about, but i know its not heaven or hell because this world is hell. heaven is when you transmute the darkness within. which i have. the darkness has no effect on me. so what do i need jesus for? get wrecked. meditate, and shadow work. i am insanely powerful due to it. you christards are as powerful as a toothpick no matter how long you worship. lol. i love dabbing on you fools.
>>41177762The only one you hate
You know how they say everyone has a purpose? Not everyone benefits from the direct approach.

>>41175970Why did he think it was cool to create parasites, viruses and other diseases and congenital malformations or natural disasters that kill millions?
>>41175455the temple of God is within you, eject the devils and allow God in. then you will see.
>>41179757Free will is a lie. Our will is not free. Our choices are limited. Choosing between A and B (Satan or God) is not free will, it's dualism. You have two options. How can this be freedom when you only have two options? Free as an adjective means: "1. not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes."I have no ambitions other than to have a happy life and be free"2. not or no longer confined or imprisoned."So this gives us a signal that we don't have free will. Christians lie big time when they see that we have a choice. What choice did the Pharaoh of Egypt had when God did hard his heart in order for the pharaoh to not let God's people go? He did not have a choice. God did hard his heart! Where is the free will in this situation? It's all BS. Christians lie. Christians don't know the truth. They think they know, but Jesus himself said know the truth and the truth will set you free. But all the christians are trapped in the christian system where they don't have freedom. It's all BS. No christians is really free because they are all under the law still. They still have to obey the rules and respects the limitations and boundaries. Freedom is such a lie. We like to brag that we are free and shit, but it's one of the ultimate illusions. None of us here are free. We are all slaves doing some kind of work and God is using us for whatever He feels like.
>>41175455God revealed himself to my wife and kids last week. He was arrested for indecent exposure.
>>41175455Pro-tip: God does.You just haven't figured out how to communicate properly with God, if you think God isn't in your face 24/7.Blue Eisenhower November
>>41175499>the Source has been cut off.You sure about that?
>>41175455>Why doesn’t God reveal himself to everyone individually?Probably because God doesn't exist or God is not like the christians say. God probably doesn't care enough to show His face, you know? God is very selfish. All that power and here we are, still sinning and killing each other over land and illusions. Fuck God. What kind of benevolent being creates a reality like this? No way. The biggest illusion is believing tha God is good and He cares for us. If God cared for us we would not be human beings, imperfect beings. God created imperfect beungs, animals with a little bit of intelligente. This is an insult. We have knowledge of the fivine, but is locked away from us and the only way we can reach it is in God's terms. It is not fair. What is the point in communicating with only a prophet and then having that prophet’s message written down?
>>41175455>All three Abrahamic religions apparently worship the same God, but they contradict each other- why not set things straight through direct communication with all beings?None of them are real.t. prophetAs to why everyone isn't a prophet, it would be a completely different world and possibly not worth creating.
>>41175499>they have to depopulate the planetI failed to see the problem in this statement. Humans are exhausting and draining and offer very little for how much they take.
Even if he did, many wouldn't believe him anyway. This was one of the themes of yesterday's readings at Mass.St. Luke 16:19-31Jesus said to the Pharisees:"There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linenand dined sumptuously each day.And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scrapsthat fell from the rich man's table.Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.When the poor man died,he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.The rich man also died and was buried,and from the netherworld, where he was in torment,he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far offand Lazarus at his side.And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me.Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,for I am suffering torment in these flames.'Abraham replied,'My child, remember that you receivedwhat was good during your lifetimewhile Lazarus likewise received what was bad;but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is establishedto prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to gofrom our side to yours or from your side to ours.'He said, 'Then I beg you, father,send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers,so that he may warn them,lest they too come to this place of torment.'But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets.Let them listen to them.'He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham,but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"
>>41175455Serious question? Serious answer.Those prophets are usually people who spent their lives in devotion to God, fasting, praying, long retreats in silence, eating only what the body needs and avoiding worldly snares such as sex, money, property, entertainment and others which occupy the mind endlessly and stir it into an endless frenzy. See, God doesn’t speak in a booming voice, nor does He infringe on your will. The only way to hear Him is to will to hear Him. Most say they will it, but will sit for a few seconds with their eyes closed, then a hamburger will float across their mind and they’ll go fuck this I’m going to wendy’s. How can you expect to hear God’s voice when you value Internet Influencer #33’s voice more?And even when the prophets deliver the message they always get spit on by the normos>true happiness can’ be find twixt two burger buns, put down your slop and follow me>we need to kill him
>>41175455Why would God? Faith means more than proof. Plus, don't we have enough religious wars with no proof of God?Now imagine if their is proof. The rebellion from not only many non believers but also rebellion form believers that just don't like what God has to say.
>>41188793To add.. if some Angels didn't agree with God and went to war. What do you think people would do?
>>41175605I am a female police officer and I find that offensive
>>41175455> Great is the mystery,> God was manifest in the flesh> 1 Timothy 3:16>> The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty> Zephaniah 3:17Absolute truth is Jesus Christ. It is not a hidden truth, but out in the open. Everything we need to know is in the Bible and most importantly, in a personal relationship in Jesus, everyone can build by asking for the Holy Spirit from God to be given to them. Our hearts and minds are renewed from sin by this. You only need to ask sincerely.We are not gods, but children of God, made in His image, though marred by sin due to Satan.But in Jesus, there is our salvation.Accept Jesus and be saved.Craziness of our governments is a combination of the madness of man, aka created beings that have deluded themselves into thinking they don't need a relationship with their creator and thus are doomed to die. And Satanic deception that yet permeates the Earth that desires our souls.You are cosmically important for the same reason that every human being is important.You are made in the Image of God, and He was willing to let His only son die for you.This is the Truth, what makes us special. Nothing that we do on our own makes us special, but love of God and a relationship that we have with Him.Jesus sets us free.Be Free In Him.Amen.
>be all powerful being able to create the universe (possibly multiple universes) out of nothing>"yeah I better talk to this guy joe six-pack sitting on this tiny little spec of dust over here they call "earth" let's see what's bothering him :)"given the immensity of existence, why do random niggas think they're deserving of God's attention
>>41175455That’s literally the whole point, hence the Holy Spirit, you just need to build a foundation for it to happen. You would be better off looking at mystical traditions like Christian mysticism, Sufism or Kabbalah for these religions. Something like Thelema may also stir your interest
God is revealing himself every single second billions of times per second.
>>41175455LOL but he is, that’s actually all that God is doing with your “life”.
