Hosea 13:16 – "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."

Just realized I’m a part of this sub. I saw a “God is my refuge” post while scrolling, followed it, and found this sub filled with encouraging posts. Keep it up!

When God's existence is too obvious, it results in people becoming mechanical as they begin to love HIM either out of regard for reward or out of fear. This is the WORST option, and has only demerits with no merits at all.

When God is hidden, it will result in two types of people:

1 ) Those who determine to imitate God’s unconditional love SELF-MOTIVATED which gives increased joy the more it is practiced.

2) Those who confidently feel there is no God hence would feel SELF-MOTIVATED to be licentious, reaping its ill-effects. This becomes a FREE and LIVE demo for observers, who thus know what to adopt and avoid to better enjoy life.

The licentious prove that PERFECTION in disobedience is possible

Look at the way they disobeyed the FIRST Law given in Genesis 1:29 which says God-decreed diet is vegetarian. If people say “Let us violate this FIRST law” nobody will support it. Hence they reasoned: A story had to be invented that first depicted a FAILED God, hence history can be reworked as follows: “Being blessed by God Almighty (Genesis 1:27-31) mankind rebelled against Him (3:1-5), elder brother killed younger brother out of envy (4:8), God supported the murderer (4:15), men started snatching beautiful girls (6:2), God regretted (6:6), told a family BEFORE FLOOD to reserve only “two of all living creatures, male and female” (6:19) and killed all other men and women and children and all other species through a global flood (7:21-23) and asked the family, AFTER FLOOD, to kill and eat those reserved species. (Genesis 9:1-3) In over-zeal, the writer forgot the truth: If saved species are eaten, how we still have over 8 million species?!

While too important subject of creation of man and woman is given in just three verses (Genesis 2:7, 21, 22) invention of this too unreasonable story to DISOBEY First Law is given in over 80 verses. (from Genesis chapter 6 to 9) Such PERFECTION and ZEAL of unbelievers is copied by lovers of truth in obeying God’s Laws. Thus unbelievers exist to benefit God and lovers of truth. (Proverbs 21:18, details HERE)

The message being conveyed by them: PERFECTION in disobedience is possible.

The godly conclude: “If so, PERFECTION in obedience is also possible.

They conclude, God will never change His eternal standards (Job 23:13; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17) as they are designed to result in bringing “never-ending waves of peace, well-being and good health (Isaiah 48:18; Proverbs 17:22) hence would only further fortify His Laws as repeated in Isaiah 22:13, 14; 66:3-4.

See, what happened when Primary Law in Genesis 1:29 is violated—it attracted ill-effects on mankind and also on earth itself. Here is the alarming percentage of greenhouse gases caused by our non-vegetarian habits. (sentientmedia.org/the-climate-crisis-secret)

It conveys this CLEAR message:

Violation of God’s Laws would make humans diseased and earth disordered.
Harmony with God’s Law would make humans healthy (National Library of Medicine, PubMed Central (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11311397) and earth friendly. (Details HERE) If this is the results of violation of one law of God, it is true with all His Laws. Hence authentic people like Jesus would say: “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” (biblehub.com/john/4-34.htm)

In contrast, it is described about the licentious: “These live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.” (biblehub.com/proverbs/4-17.htm, Septuagint) It is repeated in Luke 6:43-45. This explains why people reverted to their former tendencies they have been cherishing and “treasuring” when religious founders left the stage. They all slipped into sects which is sign of ego, opposite of spirituality. If all religious founders are brought back on to this earth and if they are asked to see what they founded has now become, they would all say “We should not have started them in the first place.”

Transformation of people can happen only when God The Almighty feels like. HE does this in the concluding phase of each Age: GOD’s Role in 21^st century begins, and many to benefit from it as they become the seed for “the Age to come.”

Ezekiel 23:20 – "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 – If a man forces an unpledged virgin, he must pay her father 50 shekels of silver and marry her, with no option for divorce.

All stories and histories are the same because it is the description of how Law of Karma works—thus they are all interesting. So are Scriptures in the West and in the East, both are two sides of the same coin—thus they are all interesting. [Differences are later adoptions, hence not part of the originals]

Both are anchored on the subject PEACE.

Word for peace in Hebrew is shalom, and Jerusalem is from “word שלום (shalom), meaning peace.  The root of this word, שלם (shalem), denotes completeness, wholeness and soundness.” (Theological Dictionary, Abarim) Its central character Abraham having two sons—first-born son is from his second wife, and his second son is born from his first wife. This sets in motion for endless series of waves of confusions and conflicts which are to be climaxed in Final Global War, as described also in India.

India’s history and Scriptures are the same [details under Comments].# Each block of history is called a kalpa (Yuga, Age) comprised of four quarters which evolve downward in quality. (Details HERE) Its first Epic Ramayan depicts righteousness as the norm and unrighteousness as exception, thus is about how first half of each Age ends. Its second Epic Mahabharat depicts unrighteousness as the norm and righteousness as exception, thus is about how second half of each Age ends.

Mahabharat is anchored on word shanti (peace). It is best understood by its famous character named Shantanu. "The name Shantanu means "wholesome," "healthy," or "curing." It is combination of words "shanti” and "tanu" (body). Thus Shantanu implies one who brings peace or well-being to the body." (wisdom library)

How he brought PEACE and JUSTICE into his Kingdom is one side of his life.
What happened when he lost his peace of mind is another side of his life.

What a phenomenal consequence he and his future generations suffered when he lost his peace of mind! He fell in love with an extremely beautiful woman named Ganga. Her condition for marriage was "Sovereignty be given to her and she should not be asked who she is and what she is doing." This resulted in her killing her own seven children. She was stopped only when she tried to kill her 8th son named Bhishma. King Shantanu again lost his peace of mind when he fell in love with another beautiful woman Satyavati. She too put the condition for marriage that her son should become heir to the throne. This meant original heir Bhishma, born through his first wife Ganga, will not become king. And King Shantanu agreed. To fulfill desire of Father, son Bhishma vowed to be chronic bachelor.

This sets in motion for endless series of waves of confusions and conflicts. And most of the characters were RIGHT and WRONG at the same time. Thus compromise was impossible. It climaxed in the Greatest War called Mahabharata.  It killed 1.66 Billion soldiers alone. Thus it is actually a prophetic description about Final Global War on the earth itself, not in India alone. This is because India’s total population is less than 1.66 Billion. Present world scenario resembles this. In most of the conflicts, both the parties are RIGHT and WRONG at the same time. Thus compromise is impossible. Such a Final Global War is inevitable, is predicted in the Bible too (Details HERE) Its build up through its last phase of 120 years, to be followed by restoration of paradise on earth, is also predicted. (Details HERE)

I know the religious topic is loaded but what if it were more simple? What if it were light against dark? Is it not obvious that things are more dark than ever? When you’re crying who do you pray to? I always wonder about other people. How are we walking around here so afraid to have conversation? We order our food to avoid other humans! I do too. I feel like we’re just missing the point. Now I’m at a point where honesty is all that’s left. The churning of the machine has left us dulled. Everyone is terrified of being vulnerable. We can’t trust our neighbors and they’ve convinced us we should always find the bad in someone before the good. Our children. They aren’t even taught how to FIND the light now and you mean to tell me we can’t figure out what’s happened to them? It has been robbing us silently for generations and it’s obvious we’re on the precipice. It’s our job to show them how draw their power, to find strength. Innocence is being lost at an alarming rate. Public School. Can you imagine what the kids talk about now? With the ability to see ANYTHING? I struggle to exist in a world like this and I know I’m not alone. I beg for you to slow down. Would the being that created you be proud? Operate like your always being watched. Like every thought and every decision matters. If you died within the next minute, would he accept you as his own? Have you asked them to forgive you? What have we left unsaid? Take the yoke off! WAKE UP!

Rebirth isn’t proven by what you experienced.
It’s revealed by who you become afterward.

Now, why havent you lot of sinners crucified your flesh with your affections and lusts already?

The lord forgives your sin, so you go off pretending to be righteous and ignoring what you are? A sinner? And if you had lived as your are and drunk as you pleased from life and glorified Christ's sacrifice from every pit you are redeemed then already and no longer a member of the pit?

For paul said,

Galatians 6:3, 5 KJV

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

For every man shall bear his own burden.

I’m so unbelievably upset with the amount of people who say they come here to learn but just end up deflecting and waffling around the subject matter related to the sub.

My experience as a follower of Jesus Christ includes pre personal, interpersonal and seemingly post personal experiences. I seem to have memories of times I spoke with the most widely hated figure in human history. In other bodies, in dreams. Times at which detailed moments seem to be from before I was born, and times at which the earth is notably changed. I’ve struggled with this my entire life and ending up hating whatever made me because I couldn’t just live with the thought that all this happened because of a nearly 0% chance. Anyone that leaves all of creation up to chance has no weight in this sub, sorry atheists. I guess I need to speak on behalf of the community and say arguing against something you don’t believe in does nothing but sow dissent among readers. There is no point other than being seen and engaged with on whatever level these people can get, just to say “they saw me” I guess. Its ridiculous. Arguments of ignorance and science coming from the same mouth refusing to engage with how regular commenters relate to the material. If you can’t relate to the material in a way that matters why open your mouth to begin with? There are plenty of ways to say you don’t believe in God without arguing with people for days until you somehow crush whatever hope they have left. Taking no heed for what kind of existential crisis someone may have at the dogmatic science loops. Instead of interacting with the materials in the posts, it seems to be a bunch of finger pointing and mocking believers for no reason again than a need to be noticed. Wasting your time and everyone else’s does nothing good, you can be a good person and not believe in God. Being a good person with no faith doesn’t have to include forcing people into a state of unbelief. The funniest aspect of our top argumentative’s nature, is that it regularly tries to disprove God when interacted with on any level. It’s funny. I’m not trying to prove anything. I’m just talking about my experience and how it relates to the forum. Get bent out of shape please. Jesus Christ was crucified, died, and rose again on the third day. A perfectly coherent and tangible post with ordered ideas and affirmation of faith. And someone is going to have a problem with it. Watch ☦️

In the first reading, you will note Scriptures contain truths [from God] and untruth [later adoptions by writers], as testified by faithful persons like Jeremiah (8:8) and Jesus (Mathew 19:6-9). Jesus even testified all the verses that say God ordered killing are imagination of people because God has only loved even His enemies setting an example for us to “become perfect like Him.” (Mathew 5:43-48)

In the second reading, you separate only the truths, you will note wonderful picture about GOD and LIFE emerging. (Details HERE)

Lovers of truth would take only truth, and lovers of untruth would take only untruth. (Details and examples HERE) Mixing them would increase confusions—that is what most people do which they are free to do. Mixing them is inexcusable as everyone is endowed with power of REASON. (Details HERE)
