Is God There - Let Us Reason.

If I don't believe there is a God, then (logically speaking) my belief system includes the following:

• Good and bad does not matter. This means that I can murder, steal and commit adultery as long as I don't get caught.
• My existence on this earth is an accident or chance.
• My life has no more purpose than the life of a pig or a chicken.
• If I face trouble that no one is able to help me solve, I have no where to go.
• The flawed/ imperfect judicial system is all that I have to count on for justice.
• Nothing that happens in this earth, solar system and universe has a meaning.
• Love is just an illusion or feeling. If no one loves me, then I am in a very pitiable state,

If I believe there is a God, then (logically speaking) my belief system includes the following:

• Holiness is very important. This means good and bad actions have consequences.
• My existence on this earth was planned - I am not a chance or an accident.
• My life has a purpose - which I need God's help to find out because he created me.
• I can go to my creator when I am in pain, struggle or any other trouble.
• There is a super power who will judge our every motive and action. There is justice that goes beyond our life time.
• Everything that happens in this earth, solar system and universe has a meaning.
• Love is real. If no one loves me, I can still be assured that God loves me.

If we look into ourselves carefully, we will realize that our inmost being desires purpose, meaning, love, justice, goodness and more.... We desire these things because we were designed by God to desire these things. If we were here by accident, then we are nothing more than matter that cannot desire the things of the soul.

IF GOD IS NOT THERE, WHY WILL WE DESIRE THE THINGS THAT ONLY A GOD-PROGRAMMED BEING WILL DESIRE.

IF GOD IS NOT THERE, WHY IS EVIL, INJUSTICE AND LOVELESSNESS BOTHERING US SO MUCH - WE SHOULD BE FINE WITH THESE THINGS NATURALLY.

Unless I take the first step towards understanding there is a God, I cannot go to the second step of knowing how to find him.

I welcome all questions regarding this discussion. I hope and pray that God will be able to use me to reach out to people who are searching for him.



 

Getting Beyond Perceptions

What people think of me is not my problem - in fact, it is their problem!

As long as i have got the approval of God, I am free to be the person that I want to be and do the things that i want to do - and safely ignore people's perceptions and opinions.

I am beginning to realize the amazing amount of freedom I have when I let God (rather than the world) define my self-worth, value and identity.

For the world, performance is a criteria for acceptance - but for God, honesty is.

As long as I am honest with God about everything and I am willing to work with him to become the person that he wants me to be, I have freed myself from the jail of 'what will people think about me'!

In the end, God has created me to live for him - he did not create me to live for the world!

Women Are Blessed

Yes, Women are weak - but God's power works best in our weakness;
Yes, Women may not be worldly wise - but the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God;

Yes, Women are not given first preference -but in the kingdom of God the first shall be last and the last shall be first;
Yes, Women cry a lot - but blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted;

Yes, Women suffer in a patriarchal society - but that helps us to get closer to God;
Yes, a girl child might not be valued much - but God is most close to the broken-hearted and the lowly in spirit.

Yes, women may lack logic - but logic does not work very well when it comes to faith.
Yes, the world is not just to women - but our hope is not in this world anyways.

A woman is first God's daughter before anybody's wife or mother. Big Daddy does not take it lightly when his beloved daughters are mistreated.

JUST BECAUSE I DON'T SEE JUSTICE, IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT THERE;

JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE GET AWAY OPPRESSING THE WEAK IN THIS WORLD, IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN ESCAPE GOD'S ETERNAL JUDGEMENT - UNLESS THEY REPENT.
