This world is an interesting place. It is just as simple as it is complicated. I always say that it is no coincidence that the world as we know it, is round. It reminds me of just how connected we all are. What we put out, must return to us. It's fact, almost just as what goes up, must come down!! I am always fascinated when I hear of people who are totally surprised by various things happening in their lives. I sit and think "You, or your Parents or someone before you, in your direct lineage sowed that seed; and it has to come to fruition or this world and the principles thereof is a lie."
Now, I don't mean to offend anyone by what I am about to say...but it is my damn blog and I am exercising my First Amendment Right. I want to discuss Religion. The principles of Sowing and Reaping, the Spiritual Laws which pertain to our physical-round world and Religion all seem to be tied. Ever notice that?
I believe in God. I may not call He/She by the name that you use simple because history and religion has been watered down so much over the years that there is NO way for me to personally know if anything that I've read regarding the most high is true or applicable. Don't believe me? Do your research...King James was an intricate man. He was also an egotistical man (per history) which required everything to go his way in order to not appear stupid or powerless. If you believed something different than he or challenged him, you would die. Just-like-that. He named a bible after him and had his best scholars write it (transcribe it). Human eyes, no spell check, no scanners to ensure word for precious word was being preserved. Just Human eyes under the instruction of a powerful man who ran an empire. I am not trying to put ideas in any one's mind. I just want you to think for a moment. Get out of your Bible-Belt Box and use the brain that God gave you. From the King James version, some 400 years later came your New World Translation, New Kings James, Living Bible, Amplified Bible, etc...Still think that the words are perfectly pure? Let's go back even further to the days of Constantine- Some 300 years after the Death of who we believe to be Christ Jesus; he sits at a table with other Higher-Ups and they DECIDE which writings will form the Bible as we know it. Look a link is attached to get your blood boiling some more. My point is, believe what you will....but know that Spirituality is higher than Religion (practices). God is real. There is a Higher Level of Intelligence out there who gave birth to life as we know it. It is just the order of things. I believe that we praise him with works, deeds not just words. Who cares that you sing in the Choir? Who cares that you never miss a Sunday at Church? Who cares that you can name all 66 books of the bible? Who cares that you understand the role of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit? When you are dead and gone, all that will live on is your works. The footprints that you left on the earth so that when it all comes full circle you would have been apart of the rebirth of endless life. The bible even says "The letter killeth, but the spirit taketh away" and Jesus said that the Pharisees were making his Fathers purpose null and void with their traditions. What is the point? Word and tradition is cool, but the spirit of a man is what God sees, recognizes and judges. You can fool people, but your life can not fool the Life source.
I wish people would get off their high horses and think for themselves. Religions which don't truly embrace a personal relationship with God scare me. Anytime one Man or Woman can stand in front of a body of people and can command them one way or another like mindless sheep scares me. It is, in my opinion ignorant and fruitless.
So in the words taken from the book of Joshua "Choose for yourself today whom ye will serve"!! Seriously, this is your life, you better start living it like everyday really counts; because it really does!!
