God is beyond religion

God is universal. God is beyond religion. God has no spesific religion. This is my belief


Any thoughts? Do you agree or disagree?

There is a universal intelligence behind all this diversity we see outside. The wise sees patterns where the foolish sees mere randomness and chaos.

If there is sufficient spirituality within, we can attract that which is auspicious and divine. However such spirituality within can be developed only through hard austerities and virtuous conduct which most people are averse to as it hampers their superficial needs for pleasure and comfort.

I do agree that God transcends any religion or ideology. However I believe God speaks to humanity through Messengers such as Moses, Christ and Muhammad. So religion plays a critical role in our relationship with God. That being said, religion can move far from the Divine spark that originally inspired it and instead promote man made ideologies that have little to do with what their Founder taught.

Definitely, I agree

I like the idea "there is only 1 Religion, the Religion of Love". And I never belittle other's Faith or (non) Faith. But if others act Adharmic (like killing gay etc or belittling other's Faith) then I will let them know that this is Adharmic; that does not imply I disrespect their Faith (what someone recently wrongly thought about me, and he was unable to see it)

What hard austerities do you believe are necessary for the development of spirituality and why?

Mental equanimity is necessary for the practice of present moment awareness or mindfulness or total love, and such mental equanimity is developed only through austerities and virtuous conduct. The austerities can be as simple as attempting meditation while the mind is inclined to sense-pleasures or practicing virtue in the midst of temptations or cravings that agitate the mind.

Awareness in turn results in intuition that enables direct perception of truth .

God, the first source and center, is the focal point of all religion, even atheism. Mankind's approach to God is through his religion. Gods approach to man is through revelation. Truth is always revelation.

For me - God as hypothesis, God as answers to questions, God as necessity (for many), and God as creation (by humans rather than of humans).

As we are all only humans. Born babies from human sex. Only one circumstance our origin human as adult parent is ours.

Never were they our life.

Human parents have always been our holy message receipt.

As we are born either one parent or the other.

If you think you need to dispute self spirituality. Too many humans have owned spiritual parent assistance.

Family assistance. Ours. Human.

Why no man is God.

Now if you want to believe we are more than just the human life to live created by sex then die. We are.

It isn't God. God is involved in human experience only.

The eternal is the other type of termed teaching a god. Only Inferred just by human words as the indescribable unknown.

We had to agree on word use in explanation to own human expressed agreed meaning.

Those words used to quote a human aware experiences says it's not about creation and is something you can't know nor find. Then it is eternal.

If you ask how can that form assist humans... proven it uses parent memory ours as records to help us.

Records separate as a living separate state by gods terms. So the eternal uses the God state.

As it's never science...science will not nor ever will it have it.

Therefore if you have a good look at greedy men all they search for is what they claim is the source for all things.

Which doesn't exist in science terms.

As only humans calculate science.

Words are just human stories. We explain for ourselves only.

Any thoughts? Do you agree or disagree?

I’m going to disagree.

I would agree that God is very loving far beyond our petty tendencies.

God speaks to men and women in various ways to try to help us. Our own weakness, human error greed etc often result in less than pure understandings of the message.

Some abuse the ideas of God for their own greed lust etc.

None of this takes away from the real deal. The Bible shows a pattern of God giving directions, mankind following for a time, rebellion, bad consequences, getting humble and repeat.

This core cycle has not changed.
