Hi Dhw,-You are more than welcome to participate in this discussion. A healthy exchange of thoughts and views is always great.-First and foremost, thank you so much for liking and appreciating my blog and my thoughts. -God has never told us to fight, kill in the name of religion. God is good. He created this wonderful world as well as man. So, when man goes about destroying this world and killing humans, God must be burying His head and crying.-When acts of cruelty are committed in the name of God, that is the most heinous sin any man can commit. To associate the holy name of God with killings is the greatest sin against God.-What if there was no Bible, Koran, Geeta or any holy book in the world? Even if there were no ten commandments, God has still given us the basic knowledge of good and evil and the greatest thing ... our free will. It is man who chooses evil over good.-An atheist or agnostic who does good, is honest, does not hurt or harm anyone, does not cheat is actually following God in the truest sense than a believer who believes in God and then goes on to perform immoral and unjust acts against people. Such a person, even though a believer, has no part in God.-From the discussions with you and xeno, I find a lot of emphasis on 'I', 'me' and 'myself'. It is here that I differ from you and xeno....:) I consider myself nothing. Julia is nothing. I am nothing before God. My life, my health, my beauty, all the gifts and abilities, it has all come from God. What could I do on my own? Nothing.-My blog that you see, the love that emanates from the writings, it is all from the Holy Spirit. It is God's spirit that has helped me to write this far. -I will end with this lovely hymn-Love it was that made us
And it was love that saved us
Love was God's plan
When He made man-Born of God's love we must love Him
That's why He made us to love Him
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God's love-Love is a wonderful thing
Joy in your heart it will bring
Where there's true love there is God
And where there is God there is love-God bless you and xeno abundantly...............:)
