Why did God create us knowing we would be tempted and possiblby seperate from Him?..What was the point?..What were we before we were created if we had no body but our soul came from Him?Why did He put his "energy" into a faulty life form?

Does God get a cut of the prophets made from selling this book?(I am confused here) Assuming prophets = profits, and the book you are reffering to is the one I wrote, the answer would be no.(God does not need or desire money) If you are poor or do not wish to buy the book, yet you still want to read the Truth, just request a copy from your local library, it won't cost you a penny (Assuming your book return is not late)
lol, yeah. I meant "profits". Guess it turned out to be an unintentional pun. ;-)

Hi TruthAboutGod,
First time caller, long time listener.

I noticed you have a chapter dealing with..

Aliens, psychic detectives, paranormal activity, etc…

In summary what has God divulged about these subjects?

Does God have a name?

When God gave the Breath of Life to man, this was not atomic life as we know it, this was mankind receiving a Soul. God is a Pure Energy Entity, and thus does not "expire". We ourselves are pure energy as we are composed of atoms and thus we are 100% nothing more then compiled bits of energy. The Energy that God consists of is not atmoic, this is why after our physical lives expire, yet we still continue on. Our Soul is the very essence of God, as God does not expire, neither does our Soul.
You first answered my question, “Did God create life?” by saying, “Yes, the life that we know, and the life we do not know (The Soul).” Where you have answered, “Yes, God created the Soul", you are now saying, "The Soul is the very essence of God and it is eternal (not created)". Are you contradicting yourself?

Right..why would He seperate Himself from "Himself"???...Why would he put Himself into atoms that are going to be tortured and die and maybe never be a part of Himself again through falling for temptations He put before Himself (us)?(or create Himself born dead)

Why would He challenge Himself to love Himself and to stay with Him by putting Himself in human form by seperating His energy into pieces of flesh??..Why would he break Himself apart and risk Himself not rejoining Himself?

Blessings

Dallas

P.S I just confused myself again.

Interesting, but truthfully speaking, who cannot answer questions about god? Heck, it's child's play, to say the least.

I do find this position to be somewhat disingenuous as this stance indicates that the writer may well be here simply to vent and is quite possibly not terribly interested in defending their belief structures.

All that aside I do have a couple of questions. Give 'em your best shot.

1. How did "god" manifest "himself" to you?
2. Why did "god" choose you to deliver his message?
3. Was there something in particular that precipitated this first contact? (Perhaps you could briefly outline your psychological state prior to the event.)
4. Did this "entity" state outright that it was god?
a) If yes, could you please elaborate on it's assertions.
b) If no, then what made you, an insignificant human animal, realize that, in fact, you were talking/thinking/communicating with the "creator" of All That Is?
What yardstick did you apply to your experience to validate what you were being told was "truth"?
(I am assuming that you understand that so-called "truth" is relative.)

Why would God damn His own self to eternal seperation from Himself?

Is he a multiple personality??>..Like with billions of people inside of Him and many thousands of new ones a day being created ???That He may or may not decide to reincorporate back into His whole self it they are good for Himself?

Blessings

If you never felt physical or emotional pain, how could you be happy or sad? How would you know the difference between right and wrong? You cannot have righteousness without sin, light without darkness, right without wrong, pleasure without... pain.

God created man as a companion to God, that is why we were created "in the image of God". This is also how Ibliss became satan, by refusing to bow to man, as God had instructed.

We were with God in a non-atomic form, that is until Adam and Eve transgressed.

Jesus is a Gift of knowledge and wisdom given to mankind by God.(Divenly created at that) However Jesus was not God.

I will assume you are reffereing to something like John 14 - 6:

Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This is true, however it is not through Jesus as an individual, it is through what Jesus taught us and what Jesus represents. Jesus taught us God's One True Commandment: "Thall shall Love". Without Love you cannot enter Heaven. I will do another copy and paste straight from my book to show how Love is covered in all Ten Commandments, not overwriting them, but supporting them hand-in-handI have to give a short version as it is way too long to post here)

. One might ask “How can there only be one True Commandment then?” Well let us look at the Ten Commandants in the Old Testament, and I will explain to you how each Commandment still falls under God’s one True Commandment.

Thou shall have no other Gods before me. If you truly Love God, how could you possibly worship another?

Thou shall not make unto me any graven image. Do you know what God looks like? NO you do not. Therefore any image that you create of God is a not only a transgression against God, but a terrible sin. If you Love God, you would not try to create a Likeness of Him, because any image that you create, could never be truly of God.


Thou shall not take the name of thy God in vain. What does this mean? Jesus had sated that you cannot go to hell for what you put in your mouth,(This is a reference to certain foods that some religions feel that you should not eat) but you can go to hell for what comes out of your mouth. Sometime in your life you may have heard someone angry say “god damnit” or “jesus christ”, these are examples of using God’s name in vain. Although Jesus is not God, this is still a transgression against God, as you are swearing against a Prophet of God, which He had given to mankind as a Gift. So if you truly love God, then you would not curse or swear against Him.

Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. As mankind was created in the image of God and God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh, so shall you work for up to six days and rest on the seventh. This Commandment is widely misunderstood, however it does fit firmly inside of God’s Plan for mankind.(See “God’s Plan”, to explain this further) This would fall under “Loving thyself” as God did not intend for mankind to constantly work everyday that he is on Earth. So if you truly love yourself then do not work yourself right into a grave.

Honor thy father and thy mother. It is through them that God created you. If you truly Love your neighbor,(Mother and father fall under the category of “neighbor” as they are people that you exist around) would you rebel and go against them?

Thou shall not kill. WRONG! This IS NOT a Commandment of God. This has been changed and perverted by mankind, the correct Commandment that belongs here is “Thou shall not murder”. There is a huge difference between “killing” and “murdering”. If you truly love your neighbor, then you would not murder him.

Thou shall not commit adultery. I had mentioned earlier that the only power satan has over mankind is temptation, and this is a classic example of it. When you lust after another’s husband or wife and you commit adultery, you do nothing more then bow to satan and give in to his temptation. If you truly Love your neighbor then why would you commit adultery against him?


Thou shall not steal. If you Love your neighbor, would you illegally take his possessions?

Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. An awesome teaching of the Qur’an is that sinners hate the truth and righteous people love the truth.(I must apologize as I cannot find the exact SURAH that states that, however it is the feeling I get from the Qur’an on that matter) If you love your neighbor would you lie to him, or against him?

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor. Jealousy, another temptation of satan, is constantly wanting what your neighbor has and you do not have. You cannot Love your neighbor when you are constantly coveting what he has.

As you can see God’s one True Commandment falls in line with all the commandments that God gave mankind through Moses. God could have simply written “Thou Shall Love” on a stone tablet. But truly how could the people understand God’s Intent, when even today, thousands of years later, most of mankind still does not truly comprehend “Love”? The Ten Commandments were God’s way of trying to teach mankind how to Love, unfortunately today this is still misunderstood.
