I am naturally a worrier and deal with anxiety. What had helped me most over the years has been prayer for God’s peace and caring more about what Jesus thinks, rather than people. I’ve noticed my thoughts remain calmer with that perspective. Plus, I end up able to show more love and concern for...
Jesus said, “No one goes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
So, through Jesus, try intensely reaching out to Jehovah (Malachi 3:16) in prayer, asking Him for comfort & His peace. (2Corinthians 1:3; Philippians4:6,7) The Bible doesn’t say that our trials will be taken away, but that...
Like you these people pray to an imaginary God yet use all the same cognative bias and are also fooled into thinking they are having a relationship with a God. Praise Allah.
Prayers that we perform have many benefits to our body, soul, and social life. Following are some of the benefits that...
Look at this outline for prayer
“So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to...
Trailblazer, did you know that one of the fruits of God’s spirit, is Joy? (Galatians 5:22-23) “On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians4:6-7

Without telling us why? Why was blood required for sacrifice?
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you for making atonement for your lives on the altar; for, as life, it is the blood that makes atonement.. . . .For the life of every creature—its blood is its life...
Thak you for replying @MatthewA :) As i wrote in the OP, the questions i ask my self is not directly about being a Sufi, or from sufism. But they help me to find the true me, I do not believe the human body is the true being in a human being. The spiritual aspect of a human goes very deep in...
As a sufi following a sufi teaching the quran is one part of the teaching:)
Sufism look a lot within our own being ro find answer to question, the quran is a guide to how to think when asking questions like the once in the OP.

It is cool to know you think about these questions.
Are you follower of Allah from the book called the Quran?

On the contrary, prayer is a very important part of our worship and our meetings, as it was to Jesus. They are not ritualistic, said by rote....but come from the heart of the one either praying in private, or on behalf of others.
Jesus was Jewish and followed the ways of the old covenant all...
Even a half-hour of [his] time on international TV every (let's say) Christmas would do wonders for [his] cred. But for reasons that entirely escape me, [he] doesn't seem concerned about [his] cred.
Here I think we're on solid ground. If people act towards others with decency, respect and...
“People say and do, but God neither says nor does. The world behaves exactly as if God exists only as a concept in individual brains.”
That’s the point: He’s not stepping in right now...if He interfered every time something bad happened, the truth of man’s incompetent self-rule would never be...
The statements God has never answered prayers, and will never answer prayers, is a bold statement.
If true, the opposite cannot be true.
If false, the opposite is true.
In this case, if A - God has never answered prayers and will never answer prayers, is true, then B - God has answered prayers...
Thank you for clerifying my answer in this thread :) i am aware of that to pray to God instead of Jesus may be a more correct way :) but since the OP starter clearly want answer from Jesus i did answer the way i did. But if that is a wrong way, then it is good you corrected me :)
The thing about that is, Jesus never said to pray to him and he would answer, but rather pray to his father in his name. Also, he said, if you ask the father, according to his will, he will hear.
So according to the Bible, God is not obliged to hear and answer our prayers for any matter.

Why would you use existence to be a termed problem.
And then science quoting that it solves problems with science and math?
As a conscious quote in thinking?
Science stating that maths is by problem?

For Christians.....I believe it means imitating Christ. (1Peter 2:21)
How did Jesus worship the Father? As a devout Jew, he attended the synagogue and all the Jewish festivals as was required in the Law. (Luke 4:16; Luke 2:40-42)
The first and foremost requirement is Love for God which comes...
