Before Acheiving The Heaven Or Hell ' Time '
Let us remember that every human is born with 'neutral' heart that contains , neither (devil) nor goodness. We may explain the causes of these changes in a human behavior during his life as follows; any good behavior , a person does, adds a white spot to his heart, and in thecase of a bad behavior, a black spot is added. And his ability to do goodness starts to decrease with the increase of the black area in his heart, until he begins to feel mocking of these people who waste time, effort, and money in goodness. That is also beside this continuous deep internal worry, as if he is expecting bad from unknown, which destroys any feeling of enjoy . On the contrary, with the increase of the white area, good behavior becomes easier to his heart , and a human gets an internal feeling of peace that calms and warms his heart , and makes him happy, whatever the surrounding conditions may be. So before we think of religions as 'ways' to heaven or hell , in the next life, we must think of them as guide to heaven or hell in our 'present' life . I think this is enough answer for any human , if he asks, Why do I need to join a religion.?
Define "good behavior" and "bad behavior". Black and white spots are in the eye of the beholder. Someone who proselytizes to someone else thinks they are engaging in good behavior, whereas the guy who is being proselytized to is seeingthat as bad behavior. When the guy who is being proselytized to gives advice to the proselytizer, to inform them that some people do not wish to be proselytized to, he considers the giving of that advice to be good behavior, while the proselytizer takes offense and sees the giving of that advice as bad behavior. It's all subjective.
in a previous article , I emphasized that , it is completely , a ridiculous idea, to waste time and effort , in a trial to change the believes of some body....!!! , what is the benefit ....!!??? .
Everybody carries his believes , alone....
HB, I understand that you are telling your thoughts about our time of life on the Earth we know and not in the heaven we don't know but, if you pardon me most of people are sensitive to the others' meditation over religion, they would think that you are calling them to your religion even if you don't mean to do. This is why I don't participate in religious conversations although I have nothing to call for because my belief is unique, it is that everything beyond my mind is none of my business
If you agree with me that, outside religion there is no absolute, why are we arguing?
Till it affects you but then it is too late.
I know that I will never figure out the truth about our existence whatever the theories and ideologies humans create and believe that it is the only truth, so I'd rather let them take care of the absolute truth
You were created because "it was very good." (Gen. 1:31)
You are here to leave the earth a little better than you found it. That is the absolute truth.
Best wishes.
This notion is about 'why we were created' and I like it, but why is a part of the questions. 'How' is the question I mean and as you say there's no absolute outside religion. Of course the meaning of this statement is not the same to believers and non-believers
It has been shown that God created something from nothing only on the first "day," and afterwards He formed and made things from those created elements. Thus when He gave the waters the power of bringing forth a living soul, the command was, 'Let the waters swarm.' The command concerning cattle was 'Let the earth bring forth.'
But in the case of man He said, "Let us make," that is, I and the aforementioned earth, let us make man, the earth to bring forth the body from its elements as it did with cattle and beasts... And He, blessed be He, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And He said, "In our image, and after our likeness," as man will be similar to both... Thus man is similar to both the lower and higher beings in appearance and honor.
Nothing here precludes man being evolved from a lower form not with the spirit of God. He was similar but, at the same time, he was different; the crown of creation, a little lower than the angels. Talmud Sanhedrin reads, Man was created on his own to teach that whoever destroys a single soul is regarded by the Torah as if he destroyed the entire world; and whoever saves a single soul, it is as if he saved a whole world.
The Bible is not a science text and does not specify exactly how man was made; it just gives the bottom line. The difference between secular evolution concepts and religious ones is that we believe the transitions not to be random but an act of divine will.
