What is obedience to God ?
With utmost respect to all religions and their adherents, it is just out of curiosity that I would like to know whether obedience to God is merely following the words/laws written in a book or is it following a virtuous and well conducted life on this planet ? Is obedience to God is akin to following a certain religion or following any one of the religions of the world and worshipping the God enshrined in that religion ? Is obedience to God is not like to become a good human being and remaining aloof from the sins ? What is your intake ?
It is the same as being obedient to your earthly father. You do as he says, and it is only out of love that you are punished for doing wrong. Just is the case with our Heavenly father.
jThomp42, your words are like coming from God, the exalted, Himself. I really appreciate your divine comment. Thank you very much.
So you think punishing sinners in eternal flames is and act of love JT?
Obedience to God is love.
Whatever you do to the least of your fellows, you do unto God.
So beautiful ! I see that love is like rays of God ; if we are able to absorb these in our soul, we can have a glimpse of that ever shining SUN of suns that we call God. Thank you very much.

Does God belong to any religion?My question is if God does not follow any religion then who should we? I asked this question to Priests, pastors and also self proclaimed healers none of whom could answer me satisfactorily. I feel religion is an unnecessary burden on humans.

I feel that believing in one religion is not practical. Likewise, there is no way of knowing if there is one God, or any God for that matter. I'm not saying there's not either, though I do trust science it only goes so far... Some things will always be left unexplained. The bottom line is that with...
