          yes...it can..just type how to love some one and you would get all needed write ups...but how to love some one doesnot need answers from any external being including god...we are well equipped to deal with that ourselves...do we need answers from god about how to digest food?..how to inhale oxygen?..no..those are natural programmed thing..similarly how to love cannot be taught..it comes naturally...but guidelines can come from google if you want...

          anyways i am not here to fight ...i got what you are saying but i dont believe in religious god and books...i dont want answers from some external being...that is my stand on it..i hope you dont mind that ..i perfectly respect your stand..take care and talk to you on monday...

            "I believe there is something on the mountain top and i am climbing to get there to see it."

            "I don't believe that there is anything on the mountain top and i am climbing there to see it"

            We are all on the same footing buddy. We are both looking. The one chose to believe before seeing while the other wants to see before believing. Bottom line: we are all searching.


            The answer is in the evolution of thought: some people accept the invention of the wheel by others and move forward. Others want to reinvent the wheel.

              but those who invented the wheel challenged group mind set...He didnt believe in what others said , what his forefathers wrote and what others thought god wanted man to travel like...He used brain (which believers have right to say god made ) , and making use of that brain , he changed the way people worked...the people who challenged the doctrine,group believes and traditions are the people who made current world possible for us...isn't it?

                You are right about challenging existing beliefs for the sake of progress.

                But isn't it equally right that people who did so were never ordinary people in the common usage of the term. they were either inspired or were geniuses.

                There was some kind of power in their thoughts and views such that their teachings travelled through the centuries despite continuous criticism and oppositon only to get credence from the vast majority in the end...like Christianity, like Judaism...

                In such discussions there is a necessary element of belief involved...it's like you show me a tomato and i say prove that it is a tomato...which goes to mean that i am not ready to see a tomato yet...

                  yes important point...but when applied to current situation...all religious heads in past took baton but now it is time to pass those baton...religion in present form need evolution...it cannot be kept frozen in time because religion was product of human thoughts which keep evolving...we can't have my god and my way only way...that would be disastrous...it is not my tribe , my people any more...it is entire human race...also science is far more developed to accept obsolete theories in religion...we need to continue with what is good and challenge what is not good with current perceptive...considering something frozen in time and perfect cannot progress...

                 From what I have read in here today, it sounds like a good day to spend here.  Too bad I gotta go to work.


                I think that (More) wisdom is kinda like a Christmas presents under the tree.  No names on them ... Just grab a box that you instinctively think that ya want.

                 It might be the pony that ya wanted ..OR ..  the dress that your sister was hoping for.

                 I usually found dirty socks.  And a lesson wearing them.

                I better get out of here before all of my insanity is exposed.

        A very good question, lol.
        Religion seems to a very old habit with mankind.
        The cave paintings at Lascoix (sp. , sorry) seem to show animals running and humans hunting them. It would seem from this that those cave dwellers used Art to recall their hunting adventures...or was it to magically control the animals...or to bond with them and ask their aid?
        Whatever the motive might be for painting these hunting scenes, the cave people were not taught or led by the animals to paint..were they?
        Perhaps it is the same with the great variety of religions.
        Man formed hisown religions for his own reasons.

        But, if God exists, why should He be silent? If God created the universe and all that is in it, why should He start all these things in motion and then just leave it on autopilot?
        It's like a man or woman going to work one day and then deciding to quit all their labors. Why?
        If people are responsible souls who work hard and typically complete each day's work, why should God stop working? Is there no plan for all this universe? Is it just spinning through space without purpose? Are we really in charge of this tiny corner of creation; left without a guide or a notion of it's purpose..or our own for that matter?
        What value do people have if God's opinion is not valued? Some cultures and religions place nearly no real value upon the life of an individual human being. After all, as some believe, we (our souls) just get recycled again. We'll return over and over again as bugs or animals or even as people..until we become like...
        In that world view justice doesn't matter. Things will work out in the long run anyway. So who cares about you and your petty, personal needs? The universe? Hardly. It's just gas and dust, right?
        So, if the universe has no real care about you then, as some believe, it's up to you to please and protect yourself. In this view, it's me first and the heck with you. Justice here is simple. If it benefits me..it's good. If not..let's fight.
        Well, we could go on and on about the various world views of the great religions. There's no end to it. But underlying these religions is a philosophy of some kind. The great majority say, me first.
        So there are wars and killings and thefts..because I want and you have it.
        If God exists...and if He created all things...does He really need something we have? Like money or gold or whatever other things we hold dear? Unlikely, huh.
        So, what would God hold dear? He has no need for material things. He already has all power and all knowledge and whatever wealth there is in owning what you have made. So what does God still want for? Why...did He create the universe?

      Believers say that they experience God through feelings.  By this method, God is still anonymous.

      So why can't God reveal himself through the most accurate sense:  SIGHT

          Sorry that did not answer my question. 

          God needs to reveal himself to us, through our sense of sight, so that we can have clarity of his existence.

          Why does God not do this?  I want an answer from God on this question, not unqualified opinion.

          By the way, we are all God's people.  Are you saying God reveals himself to you, then you give me the revelation second-hand.  No, that will not suffice, becuase that could be a trick.

                39But He replied to them, An evil and adulterous generation (a generation [a]morally unfaithful to God) seeks and demands a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

            It is amazing that you would believe God's word as a trick, but, the other books written by man you would believe. Yes, God reveals himself to you, me or who every will. He is saying, if you take the same faith that you have in man and put it in me, then I will reveal myself to you in away that you will know it's God. But, if I come to you face to face then there well be know more you.

              "God's word" was also written by man, making your point absurd.



              That is not reality, but merely a childish whimsical view, dictated to you through indoctrination, which included fear of authority.  It is man, not God, that you are worshipping.  All of your faith is in man--primitive, psychotic, delusional man. God does not exist.

              So you view God as positive thinking, or something akin to that?

              I guess since there is no evidence for a God of any type, people can concoct any type belief they so desire.

        Many things are 'revealed' to all of us depending on the evolution of our mind. the mind is like a vessel. work on it to increase its capacity to contain.

        that's what we all do a college and unversity, and that is how we 'discover' things unknown to the unschooled, like a foreign language, or like medicine.

                    We use the tools that we have learned to use: reasoning.

                    Let me illustrate further. There is an African and a Brit and an Alien. The alien comes down and says "I can speak English."

                    The African says: "what proof do you have? you are just bragging...i don't believe you."

                    The Brit says " Holy.....that alien speaks English!"

                    Do you get the point now? The Brit knows English and is convinced right away...he doesn't have to go around to ask for proof.

                    If i should happen to see, say, a bright light that says "I am God", i will have to makeatour ofthe globe trying to get someone to confirm this. I don't know God and even if I see Him i will not recognise Him.


                    I don't know Tiger Woods. If he should come and say I am Tiger Woods I will say what proof do you have.

                    ...please don't mind...just trying to help get a correct perspective.

                    If i ask i want to see love, my quest is flawed.

                    If i say i want to know love, my quest is good.

            "And when I become evolved, which god will I experience. There are many."

            Are there many gods? Really?

            If there are many gods, then which one decided to make the universe? And for what purpose?

            Some people believe there are many gods and we represent some of their many personalities. "God", or the many gods, for some reason, wanted to "know" Himself/ Themselves. So He fractured Himself into billions of pieces and became the universe. So, the belief holds, we are all part of God and He is us.

            God cannot truly be God if He needs His creation in order to "know" Himself or to feel complete. Any God like this is either schizoid (has many fractured personalities..is unstable and unreliable), or that "god" is not truly godlike..if He only has partial knowledge of Himself.

            Man is unstable, unreliable and only has partial knowledge of himself..but we don't think of Man as godlike, do we? Similar perhaps. But not just a difference in scale and size. If we size up a Man and make him super..it makes a very poor god. Sounds like the Greek and Roman gods.

            Nope. Our limitations are what make us human. Any view of God which has limits..is likely just wishful thinking that God is really just like a man who's been super-sized.

            And that's what religion does. It shrinks God down to human abilities and desires. That's why there is this confusion over religions..there are so many ways Man has tried to shrink God into a Man-sized picture frame.

        I hear you. You want to see God. Right now.

        Can I understand your...impatience? I think so. But many of us christians believe you WILL see God. But not yet.

        You can see and hear your favorite musicians on television. But that isn't "real". It's just an electronic recording, isn't it?

        If you want to "really" see your favorite musicians..you'll have to go where they are. Perhaps they live in Quebec canada this time of year. Well, you'd have to go to Quebec to actually see them, right?

        Well, as much as I would love to see Jesus Christ...I know He's not here in Phoenix Arizona right now. He's in heaven. And the only way I can get to see Him..is to leave this body behind...when I die. And then, what's left of who I am, my spirit, will go to see Him.

        That's just the way it is. I don't get to see Him unless He comes here, to Phoenix Arizona..or I die..and go to where He is.

          I don't believe that's just the way it is.  I believe it is just your opinion, because it is way too irrational to be true.

          How can God be omnipresent, but not be in Arizona?  That makes NO sense.

          And why would I have the burden of going to see Jesus, when He is already omnipresent?

            Jesus was a man. Not a Jesus person myself. God is in Arizona. I've been there. He's definitely there. He is everywhere. This isn't so he can figure himself out. It's so we can figure ourselves out.

            You're right. God is present everywhere. He is aware of everything that happens.
            My point, and yours I think, is about Him being visible. Unless God desires to be seen, physically visible; He is not visible to us. God is Spirit. He has no body like you or I do. The Earth is not His place. He lives, to make it more clear...in heaven. No one in heaven has a physical body.

            Another way to understand heaven is to think of it as another reality or another dimension with completely different laws and properties. These descriptions aren't perfect but they do help us to picture what it's like in this other place called heaven.

              Sure He could - but He gave you and I the power to be that miracle.  There's no need for His intercession when He gave us the power.  God would cease to be God if He sent us down here to not learn a darn thing.  He gave us the tools and the free means to progress and serve others.  The innocent starving are already assured their exalted station in the eternities, but what have we done to ensure our station when we've had the power all along to feed them. 

              Looking at it from that direction one could easily ask if we exist because there are starving children.

      I guess I wonder why someone asks 'why did God make some religions in the first place?'  what makes you think 'God' not man made them? All cannot be right, Jesus warned us to use our reasoning powers to find out which one is correct.  He said: 'The road to destruction is wide, the road to salvation is very narrow.'  So figure it out.

    pjk_artist - LOL! Definately had to laugh at that one.  We're thinking "where the heck is that darn serpent and does he taste like chicken?"

    Seriously, I agree that God is in us.  We are in His heart and He is in ours - but only when we love.  I said this on other forums but it bears repeating.  Love is the highest measurable frequency of human energy.  It is also when we are at our most creative.  Google cannot tell you how to love someone.  It can tell you steps to take to better your outlook and perspective of another person. 

    Psychologists say love is a combination of other emotions but I have disagreed in a thesis on the subject.  I believe love is not an emotion at all.  It is "something" we are born with than forget.  Remembering/learning the feeling of love comes with concerted effort. 

    The euphoria connected to initial romantic attraction is not love.  We must still 'learn' to love that person, quite different than attraction.  This could be a hub so I'll stop here and let someone else get in.

    As for the original question, I believe the answer is yes, all questions are answered but possibly not the way we might expect them to be answered making life so much more enjoyable when an answer comes that we were not expecting!  Learn to love, my friends.

      pjk_artistposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      I agree about love.  To "love your enemy" attracts wondrous results. 
      You simply have to say "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Don't forget though the power of regret, forgiveness and gratitude.  Its better if you mean it when you say the words but even if you don't, the act of saying the words clean your energy and put you in touch with God within you

                    I agree.

                    Man only complicates what is otherwise simple.

                    What i don't understand is how can you be certain you are doing good religiously?

                    I mean your mood, emotions, ideals...all definitely interfere with your judgement...so you cannot trust your judgement at all times.

                    For example: when you do any task, how can you verify your true intentions? Believe it or not, very often we do not know our real intent!

                  You see only the mess, you don't see yet the city that is going to come out of the mess.

                  Don't give up. keep your money in for immense returns. The Architect knows where this is all going. He is in perfect control. You can't see because you are only a housekeeper.

        I got this to share:

        Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"

        He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.

        And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"

        [Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."

        He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention."

        So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al-Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."

        [Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"

        [Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty

        So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."

        [Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"

        [Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."

        So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."

        [Al-Khidh r] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.

        As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.

        And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

        So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.


        And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."

        Chapter 18: 66 - 82 of the Qur'an....al-Khidr being representative of the Divine Will.

      Wow, lots of response on this one. Funny that in such a materialistic world, so many people are interested in the spiritual side of life. Does God have all the answers? Sure she does. God's part of you, and you've got the answers. Now to the difficult bit...choosing the right answer from all the answers that present themselves to you. That's a whole new ball game. You can accept that the answer's there, but if it's jumbled up amongst lots of 'wrong' answers, which way are you going to look? Well, you could start with asking your God...

      Getting answers from God is tricky because sometimes you have to fall before you can succeed. The trials and tragedies of life teach lessons. Yet, if you communicate with God, believe in His Son Jesus, and trust in Him, and ask for His Wisdom, then you will get answers. But first you have to ask for forgiveness. We all don't mean to be mean, now do we?

      Of course God has ! That's for sure.. He is a God, He knows everything; your thoughts, your dreams, desires, the number of your hair- everything. I'm pretty sure about that.

      I worked for a year on a farm - the people there were really lovely but most had never left their immediate village and were doing simple labour because that was what suited them.  In the long boring winter days tramping up and down fields all together we played many really funne games - For over a week I played a slightly druel game that had them baffled - I could answer every question they had about science, philosophy, and a huger range of unrelated subjects however hard. Some of the earlier questions I could answer and then as they got harder and more wild I always had the answer for sure.  It was a simple confidence trick where I would just give an instant and confident answer correct to several decimal points or whatever.  Not being able to record my answers or even remembering most of hte questions I was never wrong - even though I just made it all up.

      Christians are just like this, all the good stuff is an amazing miracle of god, the bad must be satan, every prayer is answered by a yes or no that wouldn't be random chance of course but the whim of an omniscient being who troubles himself to relent and get the kids to Disney, but never shows himself in any way - except through second hand accounts apparently, hearsay.

      Christians cannot be so gullible or stupid by nature surely, maybe they are all just lying through their teeth to stay in the club ?

        It sounds to me like you were dealing with some really "smart" people china man! Just because that group of people didn't know the answers and you could pop one out quickly enough doesn't mean you could pull that over on anyone else! Some people are quick to believe anything! Not me! I question everything! I am not stuck in anything. I have reasoning abilities!

        I don't think you should categorize all "christians" in the same boat! We are not all stupid and unaware of science! My major in college was science and believe it or not I graduated with a 4.0! You don't know me! You have no idea of my beliefs or thoughts! I'm a christian, yes! However, do I believe the earth is young... NO!!! I know, through my studies, that earth is very, very old! I have did extensive research on this subject! I don't just accept things because someone told me or it's written in a book! I research everythng because "science" is my background.

        Why be so hateful??? You should be nice to people! LOL! Cheer up a bit! Not all christians are out to force you to believe anything! Not all christians push war or violence! Get over it already!

        Take a deep breath and think PEACE!

          Hey libby, a quick question smile

          Do you believe in the principle miracles of the Christian faith? Namely, divine conception, the resurrection and the ascension of Christ? If so, how do reconcile your scientific reasoning with them? And if not, how do you reconcile your reasoning with your Christian faith?

        Why do you guys use the wrong tools all the time???

        Trying to understand the joys of sex through logic???

        trying to understand love by analysis?

        Why don't you say that love does not exist? Because you have personally felt it...yeah

        All those people loving God and believing in Him...do you think that it's just mere conditioning?

        Measure God by belief, by love, by trust, by sincerity.

        Give Him a chance.

        Then post your comment.
