There is only one God
 

I thought it would be wise to post a small contributive post to this notion.
I see "Holy wars!" (jihad ), and people claiming Brahman, Jehovah, Allah, are different, and so wars should be fought in their name.
Can´t people realize there is only one supreme God with many names.

Re: There is only one God
 

Amen to that friend...

Re: There is only one God
 

i believe spirituality comes from within. people can label it how they choose. people can preach what they think. but in all honesty, it's up to what each individual human being feels in their soul.

Re: There is only one God
 

Totaly agree.

We are all, each and every one of us, waves of the Divine Ocean.
The Ocean can say it is the wave but the wave cant say it is the Ocean.

Why worry. God dosent mind what we call Him.

People are at the level of consciousness, different stages of their evolution, they are at, but all souls are equal.

There are three kinds of buisness
Our buisness
Other peoples buisness
Gods buisness.

As long as I look after my buisness my world is good.

Let God do His job and look after the rest.

Ultimately everything is perfection.
Only the ego gets worried.
Perception is flawed because of conditioning.

My thought is that we are all characters in the play, we are on stage for an alloted time then we go home

The problem is only there when we identify so strongly with the body and the story that we believe we are the part we play and that the future death of us is a reality.

Our function in this life is not who or what we are.

Function changes but we are eternal.

The presence that looks through your eyes is the same unchanged pure awareness that you entered this world with and will leave this world with.

The body changes gets old falls over and dies so to speak but what of you?

How can fear exist when there is a belief in One ness?


How can "another" be attacked when it is known that we are all aspects of the One?

Bit by bit all will come to know we are as One and then we will live in harmony.

May Peace and Love be known by all sentinent beings through out the Cosmos

Re: There is only one God
 

We are all god's in practice. Let us see the greatness in ourselves, and all our hopes and dreams will be created.

God is only as judgmental as we are to ourselves. We are loved us so unconditionally that we received us all that we ask for, so be careful what you wish for.

If you wish to know god more, then you must wish to know yourself more.

Love you All,

Yes, within me, my heart does open to your claims and all like them. We are but passing through and united or separated by the Way in which we hold as truth that then follows with actions. I stand united in spirit with each of you listening now, and also with those that wish they remembered how just now.

[quote] Can I please put in a word for the Goddess? For every father, son and holy ghost there is an equal and opposite mother, daughter and holy spirit. If this human world had not expelled the Goddess from the human experience we would not have to deal with the consequences of male-based world religions and their consequent wars! Rationa, critical left-brained focus without the mitigating balance of sentience, intuition and right-brained human knowledge has led us to where we are - in deadly danger from utter chaos and war. So please spare a thought for the Goddess - Innanna is a good place to begin. peace and passion for all

Re: There is only one God
 

My 12 year old said this to me about a month or so ago..

" Even though I went to Catholic church with mama, and I heard everything the priest said, I am not so sure there is a separate God, there's too many religions to think only one is right. I am beginning to think that we are all Gods, trying to remember that we are all God's."

Re: There is only one God
 

It is important to contemplate the polytheistic monotheism of the universe. Many expressions of the divine unconcievable thing called God.

God is not any human or divine individual in particular: God is Gods. It is the Army of the Voice, the Great Word, the Creator Logos, the Perfect Multiple Unity.

It is written, Elohim created. This is the word used in the bible however it is hebrew and is wrongly translated. unfortunately it has been interpretted wrongly as God. The real understanding of the word Elohim in its strict sense is Gods and Goddesses.

Uni and verse. In otherwords the verse of one.

Re: There is only one God
 

To the following you stated I agree:

Claiming spirituality exclusively as part of a religion is like the game of Monopoly:
If you win you are the last one at the table, rich but lonely.

Nonetheless: There can be spirituality in religion too although, considering the often showed intolerance by religious people...

I wonder, yes I wonder...
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE]


Yet to your statement below, I wish to shine a light to embellish upon the differences having a place in our 'growing out of a sleepy spiritual adolescence' ...

[QUOTE=Peer;36328][SIZE=3][COLOR=SeaGreen]I keep wondering why people keep confusing spirituality with religion.

To this I reply that we should be fair in considering that many here are just coming out of the sleepy dark to awaken to the reality of what has been happening and How that it took root (which is an important process for our DNA to remember!

That religion exists outside the body and rarely inside it remains what precisely is the culprit for building a false self. The inner Being within is only successful in unifying us with deeper delivery to the spirit of one as one over many many experiences. We are going as fast as we can. Take it from me that those of us at lightening speed are the pioneering forefront that plowed the way to know this humility of which I speak.

The inner relegate or religion is every alive 'now' experience from which our minds link with Divine light. Take it outside and tell everyone from birth that religion is full of ideals to attain and live up to and you reduce that inner knowing that the body teaches to a Null state of awareness which proves that from an empty experience we then allow subjective searching and then a luminal experience of now that Quantifies other to receive our state as awake, aware and ready to inform. Religions that are teachings outside us are the Null portion of this equation. This leaves us in a place to now see what IS missing in action.
We have most of us gone numb by indoctrination to dogmatic thinking and worse; without our humility and compassion from over creating with the mind around all this oppressive and institutionalized ritual called religion.
the key to all questions is simple.......peace. From here Wisdom finds us, not other.

i give you and all of us my own peace. It is ours.

Religion has helped most learn to be accountable for indivduated feeling.
We all find our way back eventually unless we fritter away the opportunities to have things like outer religion to contrast the ether-real issues at the core of personal deception. The process of our awakening together is key to personal distinctions for claiming spiritual sovereignty. Give please to those that are remembering what has happened by your warmth and support the compassion they deserve. peace. Religion precludes our invitation to keep religion inside until we experience it by choice, then there is little to say, only to then experientially share without word. preparation for ascension is not a last minute schooling as some hoped it would be and will discover this perhaps soon.

Defining is not Divining anything: or: Searching is not Knowing but so far we have perhaps learned that selling spiritualism is blindly leading the blind. preparation begins somewhere.
Let us Remember that 'defining' what is now outside us like today's many religions -cannot lead to a Divining of what is -yet within each is a living truth-and so it must be learned first to then be lived free. If we then humble to see from those that taught us the dark lessons, we can then be grateful for the circling back of unending power transferring nothing more than what was needed for both victim and victimizer. Miraculously, our perception widens to unconditionally love and this dissolves the ego; the ultimate goal of those wanting to return to source. For me, this is purpose for spiritually being.

We free ourselves to higher joy; yet doing nothing is a downward act of falling without a rope or hope. WE RISE

[B}"God" is but one <as history shows temporary> answer.[/B}

A Disclaimer that should mandatory included by the people that have made a living of controlling your mind and thus your life for blind obedience to them.
Even if one now claims, that if the meme "God" wasn't spoon fed/indoctrinated to one as an idea, one would have invented it by oneself because of its obviousness.

Blasphemy? That is not a/the problem, the problem is that at one time, them "people" would have enraged you to burn me at a stake if I dared to "utter" such words..... And if they had the chance now, they would do exactly the same... (Talk about "Free Choice" or "Love".)

Re: There is only one God

Blasphemy is just a word created by religions to strike fear into those it wants to control.
I do not follow religion so therefore blasphemy is not real.

Re: There is only one God
 

Hi
if there is a problem its any definition of what God is.

In my humble opinion God is in every atom therfore in every living thing,
Therfore God is within us.

I dont see God as an old man with a beard sitting in the heavens waiting to judge us

Again in my humble opinion God loves all of us without exception..

That love is avaiable to us at all times.
The love is unconditional.
What we truly are is loved.
What we do is not necesarily condoned though.

Re: There is only one God
 

I agree that the bible is a good book just like many others are, but I don't like the way people follow it to the letter when some of it is obviously wrong and bad.
I was in Oz some years ago and I found a leaflet, it was one of the 10 commandments.
Tho shall not covet thy neighbours wife.
I spoke to one of those mad street preachers about this, I said "So I could be one of the nicest, most generous, selfless and helpful people on the planet, but I go straight to hell just because I looked at someones wife and think Yum yum...." He said "Yes no question, you broke one of the commandments."
Too me that's complete crap and such a stupid thing to believe :lol3:
What makes it even worst is that if your a catholic you can do what ever you like as long as you confess your sins at the end of the week :naughty:


I guess most men out there would be going to hell along with me if there was such a place :biggrin2:

Re: There is only one God
 

You should love your neighbours wife, not covet her.

And about hell: With these oilprices the heat will probably be bearable the next few centuries so...

Re: There is only one God
 

Hah. covet her...
She covets me, I covet her.
Conclusion she married the wrong person. Are we to suffer the rest of our existence, for a youthful indiscretion and because the book says so? I don't think so.

Latest news... Hell is nukular powered. ;-)
That so not going to hurt my non-existing nerve ends.

Re: There is only one God
 

Even in the polytheistic societies, there was one god at the peak of the pantheon that was responsible for creating the rest of them. Ancient people personified this in stories depicting the gods mating and giving birth to others.

I think that what most people don't realize is that polytheism is not the belief that there is an absence of one creator. It is an expansion and more systematic structured paradigm where in all of the aspects of the creator have thier own individual names.

Lets use an analogy. If you say that you believe that there are individual programs with names in your computer that all have specific abilities, are you saying that the computer that contains and generates these programs does not exist?

Re: There is only one God
 

Apples and Oranges.
Hardware - Software.

"If you say that you believe"

How can I make any judgemental statements with any truth value, If I would have to add to the structure "believe" when communicating such a logical structure to others?

"that there are individual programs with names in your computer that all have specific abilities"

The "abilities" as you call them is what value humans connect to the output of any given program that runs on "a" computer.. Be it on your screen, On Storage, on Hard Copy or even robottical output.
The computer does nothing more, then manipulating according to strict syntax, endless sequences of Zero's and One's. To the computer (If it was aware.), it is just all the same.

",are you saying that the computer that contains and generates these programs does not exist?"

It is not esential for the computer TO exist to get that output, since any human when reading the program, can predict or produce the SAME output, when handling the data according to the same syntax.. Only much slower.

So your Analog is not in line, Maybe you want to redefine it and make the limits your analog operates in a little more restrictive, and less pending on reader (mis)interpretation.

Re: There is only one God
 

Peer,

The ten commandments were given along with the other 633 laws so that man would see that man needed a savior because no one could abide by them fully at all times. It was impossible by design. Sure it kept man fenced in morally but the main purpose of the law was to point you to Jesus Christs' substitutionary sacrifice on the the cross. Instead of man offering goats and whatever else to take away whatever sin was committed, God provides the ultimate sacrifice for all time, ONE time. Those bloody sacrifices in the Old Testament were a type and shadow of what was to come (Christ Jesus). Christ fulfills the law for those that put their faith and trust in Him. This was the ultimate love of God that was given to man. God had to pay the highest payment for our inabilities to be acceptable to Him. A holy and just God had to provide a holy sacrifice, thus himself, thus the concept of the trinity- God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. Not 3 gods, but 3 characteristics of the one God head. I am a father to my children, a husband to my wife and a son to my parents. I am not 3 separate people. God is one.

The Old testament pointed to the cross and the new testament pointed back at the cross. The central point to the bible is the cross not self or self awareness or any other new age self doctrine. That is the total opposite or antithesis to the bible. Yet this is exactly what ET's - I call them demons would have man divert his attention to rather than Christ Jesus-who casted them all out of heaven in the first place. The demons know their time is short and they want to lie and distract as many people away from Christ as they can possible get to go down with them as possible while the getting is good.

Why do I mention these things? Because the love of God is in me and I can't help but love back to the world with this truth.

There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end leads to death. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the light, and no one comes to the Father but through me".

You put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and God promises you everlasting life with Him one day and in the mean-time He gives you a peace that passes all understanding while on earth until He comes again for His children. This is the simplicity of the gospel (good news). This is why people go to church. They are so very greatful and like minded for what God has done for them. It is very real. Yes, some churches are corrupt, sure. No one is immune to greed and hypocracy. It plagues us all. Play with it enough and it blossoms quite effortlessly. The church is a refuge and support group of love to real Christians.

I am not fearful of October 14th what so ever. Truly I'm not. I know the bible talks about in the last days there will be more frequent signs and wonders in the heavens/skies and more frequent calamities on earth. These are merely birth pains of the coming of the Lord.

Re: There is only one God
 

With respect for all beliefs -- God is not a belief in my humble opinion.
Humans endevour to apply labels to everything in order to feel that they know it.
We have given God human traits. Anger, Jealousy, Judgmentalism -- sent you to hell if your not good, needs sacrifice.
God is not a person.
In my humble opinion God is not knowable in human terms -- He/she is unconditional love.
Gods love can be expeienced.
It is availble to all regardless of personal belief or non belief.

We have the nerve to put That which is without limit into our personal box ie
a Christian god a Buddist god a Hindu god and on and on.
How can we limit God to only loving those that agree with us?
God is unlimited.
There is no where where God is not.
He is in every atom every molocule.
He is everlasting life itself
He is you and me .
God is the Divine Ocean the Totality. We are waves of the Divine Ocean.

With Love Chris

In the matter of One G O D

Yeah, one G O D, but at the same time he/she is seven and hi/she's in All of Us as the "divine sparckle" who tells us, encourage us, suggests us, shows us, all without notice (!) to search the great Source and Center (-in fact, that's the difference with the souless animals, and that's because the illuminati in a demonic possesion needs to have a second personality-).

The Sparckle, to go to Him/she again in the long road back home.

Re: There is only one God
 

words fail. encapsulated understandings fail. positions fail. projections fail. rejections fail.

capturing GOD is like trying to capture air in a fish net.

Every religion in existence points to GOD. They can't help but....

But I feel we're a bit ahead of ourselves in this regard. You almost can't help but trip over all the multitude pointers toward GOD. But since GOD isn't a place, where do those pointers point?

My feeling is that they provide vectors which we can then follow for a time, in our explorations. And that's what we're here to do. Explore. Not be guided.

I see it as a tragic misunderstanding that one should assume that the vector points to a place one can arrive at. The journey is the thing. The learning is the thing. The experience is the thing. We're here to do. Not be told what to do.

Those who would tell us what to do, are simply failed explorers. They decided an exploration lead nowhere, and therefore must not be repeated. They warn us where not to go, where not to look, what not to do....

But who's to say someone else's exploration of that particular vector might not lead somewhere wonderful?

I see our task here, to make available the opportunities for others to resume their own explorations. So many aborted explorations ! ! !

Yes there are those who are so set on a divergent vector from the majority of us that they derive pleasure and sustenance from our failures and disomfitures.

But are we to say that their paths don't ultimately lead back to GOD just because they diverge from ours? Sure we can say that. But free will includes the choice to explore any and all vectors for ourselves.

The ideas of right and wrong really don't ultimately apply. They are simply matters of opinion.

Do those beings who feed on our pain and suffering feel they are doing wrong or evil? I highly doubt it.

Paths to GOD which favour one polarity while eschewing it's reverse vector, appear to me to be doomed to eventual dead end. But that would simply be indicative of my personal stock taking in my personal exploration, and may have no validity for another.

I looks to me as if our next leap forward, upward, backward, downward or whatever you'd care to aim towards, will occur when we abandon polarization itself.

If everything springs from GOD, then EVERYTHING springs from GOD. No?
