. Questions Without Answers
. There are numerous beliefs we'd like to believe were true, but unfortunately, the answers to dozens of life's questions are simply beyond human understanding. For example, what is the true nature of electricity, magnetism, and gravity? Most us us acknowledge there are still unsolved mysteries regarding these topics. But when the topic of God comes up, antiquated, carved in stone, unprovable beliefs replace logic, reason and common sense. . |

Here are a few simple questions Although
the question below are focused around the
forced motherhood issue, . |

We know the ultra-conservative, fundamentalist Christians claim He does, but does God really perform an instantaneous, supernatural, transcendental magic act every time a human egg and sperm unite? Does God really create a brand new, never-before-existing, separate, complete, eternal, everlasting, sovereign, human being at every conception? What evidence do you have to support such a claim? It’s not in the Bible and there’s no scientific evidence to support it. So where did this religious belief come from? ' |

How do you know that you are your physical body? Do you have any evidence to support that belief? ' Is it possible that the real human being is the “spirit” which God says enters the physical body with the breath (Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV) ' and then goes back to God at death? (Ecclesiastes 12:7) How do you know which of these two possibilities is correct? . |

Multiple millions believe that the Christian Bible is correct when it say that life begins with breath, and billions more believe in the religions that teach reincarnation. How is it that you are correct and that both the Christian Bible and billions of people who believe in reincarnation are wrong? Why do you suppose it is that millions of your fellow Christians also believe the Bible and don't believe in God's conception magic act? Is it possible that Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV ' are correct? Is it possible that one of Satan's agents has told you a lie? |

When someone tells you something, how do you know whether it's the truth or a lie? If you believe that the Christian Bible is the word of God, who are you going to believe, God or a wolf in sheep's clothing? ' Perhaps you might want to re-read Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV, ' and Mark 9:42. . |
.

|
.
Intentionally withholding the truth is a lie. Intentionally withholding a portion of the truth is also a lie. Both are called lies of omission. ' Form the Christian Bible's perspective, deceiving someone is a major sin against God. Any person intentionally withholding a portion of the truth is purposefully peddling a false story. And according to the Christian Bible, the punishment for telling lies? ' is very sever. Perhaps the promoters of forced motherhood would do well to pay attention to Mark9:42: “And whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it is better for him that an ass’s millstone were hanged on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.” If one is promoting forced motherhood and at the same time, omitting Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV ' in his speaking out, he is doing the Devil's Deception and not God's work? He who intentionally deceives another is putting his eternal salvation at risk. Why? Because one cannot work for the Devil and still get into heaven! |

How do your separate factual evidence from your personal, religious beliefs? How do you distinguish reality from a belief about reality? ' How do you know the difference? Can we base secular laws on your personal religious beliefs? . |

If you choose to interpret the Christian Bible literally, then the entire Bible must be interpreted literally, including passages written below. John 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." Commonly
Paraphrased as:
Luke 17:21 “Behold,
the kingdom of God is within you."
John 10:34, 35 "Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law you are gods? If he called them gods because the word of God was with them and the scripture cannot be broken."
Isaiah 41:23 "Shew [show] the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together."
Psalms 82:6 "I have said, Ye
[are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High."
Matthew 25:40 "What you do onto the least of mine, you do onto me." In this passage, where is God? Is it possible that there aren't really any enemies, but only fellow-god-beings with different points of view living in human bodies that are only slightly different from our own?
Mark 10:27 "...with God all things are possible."
Ecclesiastes 3:19 "For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one does, so does the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity." (Reference: Chief Seattle) '
Genesis 1:26-27 (Paraphrased)And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over all the Earth and over everything upon the Earth. God created man in his [own] image. . . Several biblical passages, such as John 14:12, (" Anything I can do, you can do and more.") and The Universal Law of Thought indicate that it's far more likely that God created man with the capacity to be God-like in behavior and in ability and not to be God-like in physical form.
See the web
pages which describes
The
Universal Law of Thought. A summary can be found at:
Matthew 6:5-6 (Paraphrased)When you pray, go into your closet and pray privately.
Genesis 11:6 "And the Lord said, 'Behold the people are one, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do: and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have determined to do." .
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Ecclesiastes 11:5 Ecclesiastes 11:5, RSV ... "As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of the woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. .
John 8:7 Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone.
Then ask yourself: "How many mental-stones have I thrown today -- at myself and at others? Do I really love my neighbor as myself? Am I a real Christian or am I just pretending to be one in order to appease my conscience and/or to impress my neighbors? "Know the truth and the truth will set you free." Hypocrisy doesn't cut the mustard any more. Just knowing the truth is only takes you half way to freedom. You must also live the truth -- all of the truth -- every day -- all day long -- even when that truth exposes the false stories we have been accepting without question. . . |
