Unanswered questions
August 16, 2006
Here are some questions about Christianity that I, with my limited mind, just can’t find any answers that make sense.
- If God really loves all people as His children, His creation, is it really loving thing to send them to eternal damnation, because we supposedly don’t do His will? Honestly, I can’t imagine this thing happening in human family.
- Why kill your own son so you can forgive other people their mistakes? (or, why go yourself and let yourself be killed so that you could forgive others?)
- Why aren’t there any extrabiblical records about miracles that are described in Bible? (3 hour darkness during day described in Matthew, in OT when day was made longer, feeding of 5000+ people etc). It can’t be just that maybe they didn’t notice or just didn’t write it down. There are many occasions in history when same events are recorded around the world (meteorites, for example, and this isn’t even very miraculous event).
John 14:13-14 says: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (NIV).
James 1:5-6a “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt“.
In one other place it says that whatever I ask according to Gods will, it will be done. I believe it is God’s will that I understand Bible and believe it. But what if I don’t get any answer? What if I get the answer that I don’t expect? I expect Bible and God to be true. But right now, for some unknown reason, I have ‘mind-block’.
P.S. Did you know that ‘kill-count’ in Bible comparing God vs. Satan is 2000000+ versus 10? Interesting, isn’t it?

You make some very valid points in this piece; at least, when based on man’s teachings; which “pave the road to utter destruction.”
If you seek God’s Truth, you will not find it from corporate Christendom’s pulpits. Jesus said, “If ye seek the truth, come to me. . . for ye who are anointed have no need to be taught by any man.” This I did over 30 years ago: there is a vast difference in what the Holy Spirit teaches versus what man teaches for God.

well i have been reading Job lately and what i have learnd fom that was: some questoins are not ment to be asked. who are we, to ask. and i bet if you will meet God, it will seem that all questions are pointless anyway.

ok I will also make comment with my poor english.
….I remember when I was something 18-20 years old I was thinking…there is ouer planet, there are stars, cosmos is infinite, endless and endless….there are God, God made me, God made all – but from where the God came? … from nothing cant happen anithing, so….logicaly there are nothing, there are no me ore you, this is a illusion. …but I am, you are….
There IS NO POINT. This gave me every time a headache, real headache you now!
In a moment helps me a lot reading Ecclesiastes!!! I warmly sugest it to you !
also in the Bible are many passages that tells us that God is greater than ouer knowledges, so human cant find answers to this kind of questions.

Congratulations my friend! You have entered into the next level of spiritual maturity. A young bird must leave the security of the nest in order to fly! This is the greatest challenge in its life. Many flock to religion for the answers because it is safe and easy. The authorities have already figured out the answers for you. Here is a book, a set of rules to follow and a couple of rituals and you are safe! Religion can be a good place to start off but eventually one must take off the training wheels and ride on your own. It can be a scary and difficult path. Spiritual awareness is a test of self. It has trials and tribulations. Jesus or perhaps we should call him by his actual name in Aramic; Yeshua did not obtain his level of enlightenment through blindly following his religious authorities. In fact it was quite the opposite… he calls the Saducees and Pharisees a “brood of vipers”. He was a strong voice against the orthodox mainstream of religion. When he needed spiritual guidance he went up in the mountains fasting in solitude for 40 days. That my friend is a very difficult task! This is a major test of courage and will. Those that truely want to know God have to earn it by a genuine effort. We can’t just clasp our hands and talk to the sky for answers. If you want to be a professional athlete you must train day in and day out. If you want to obtain spiritual mastery you must also train. Jesus said the road to destruction is wide and the road to salvation is narrow. Well then ask yourself this question… how many Christians or people of other religions are there in this world? Seems like a pretty wide path if you ask me. Hmmm… with the way the world is going right now, it seems to me that not too many people have figured it out. The true seeker of the Kingdom has the courage to venture on their own path and take a risk by seeking the truth. The truth is a hidden gem that requires a treasure hunt. You path is unique and is different from anyone else’s path. Do not be afraid or ashamed to ask questions. The prophets of old became wise because they dared to ask questions. Without questions there are no answers. Its the religiou$ institutions that seek power through controlling the masses that tell us to “not ask questions”. They keep us in line with FEAR! There are only two paths. Fear and Love! Fear is slavery, control, jelousy, vengeance, anger, hate, damnation, pain. Hmmm does this seem like a familiar theme? If God truely treats us in such a manner then he is an abusive parent! Honestly, would you torture your children brutally if they diisobeyed you or made a mistake. Perhaps not. Well if you wouldn’t then how could you ever think the supreme creator of the universe would? Is you’re love greater than Gods? My apologies to those that may get offended by the next comment but any book that preaches this kinda stuff is a bundle of “b.s. mind manipulation and filthy lies!” Someone had to say it! Don’t be ignorant or spiritually lazy, get up and put some effort into your spiritual path! Know thyself! If you do not know who or what you are then you cannot hope to know anything. There is a difference between knowing and believing. One could believe anything… Santa Claus, purple martains ( you may laugh but many religious beliefs are equally as ridiculous.) Knowing comes from experience and leads to true wisdom. Stop reading stories about miracles and prophets and go out and experience miracles and be a prophet. You are just as worthy as any other prophet that ever walked the planet. And yes you are just as worthy as Christ himself! If Jesus were in front of you he would tell you himself, trust me! It is by you’re faith alone that you have been healed. The kingdom of heaven is within! And you shall go out and perform even greater mirracles that I. Christ did not come to be the middle man. Religious authorities that are insanely drunk on power use Christ as a middle man so that they can be the true middle men. Christ came to eliminate the middle man becuase your relationship to the divine is your business and nobody else’s. Christ represents your infinate capacity to love from the heart. The heart is the universal language of the soul and all creatures can communicate without words. This was how it was before the tower of Babel. The second coming is the awakening of our hearts and coming to full self realization. God is infinate, omnipresent, omnipotent. Thus he/she/it lives every where and anywhere always. He/she/it is everything and all is one. To find God you must go within. The Kingdom is not a place its a state of being. It exists here NOW!!! For those that have ears listen… if you have intelligence understand… if you have a heart than feel that what I tell you comes from truth. If you are ready you will feel the truth ressonate. Its called intuition, use it!
May you know peace. Love is freedom, gratitude, awareness, truth, joy, acceptance, forgiveness, healing, compassion. To know Christ you must know Love. Be free and share the truth. The second coming is upon us as we shall all have self realization! Amen
