The nature of God written by a heritic!

I think the search for what truth is should be a search that is respected and defended. No one should be coerced by threat or unfair pressure to adapt to any view of what overarches our existence here in this world. The choice in deciding if there is a God, and who that God is, if at all believed in, should be entirely left in the control of the person deciding.

 

There is also enough reasons to doubt, in this chaotic world, and enough uncertainty to go around by the competing voices around us, to allow for atheism as a claim of the truth.

 

The truth is therefore, for reasons resulting from contemplative thought, left to our discernment by many disputing voices.

 

Truth seeking should always allow then various theory to be introduced, differing hypothesis, all challenges, doubt and disbelief. Truth finding isn't obvious enough to fairly handle these different searchers with their different perspectives into life's mysteries wherever their views happen to stand so if truth is that much of a struggle people need the right to look into it honestly in different ways. Of course none of this is new as systems of universal human rights have already arrived at these conclusions thankfully.

 

What then after that persuaded person begins believing what they believe follows next. The belief does something very unfortunate even after that free choice is permitted to occur. The belief then divides human beings according to that ideology's doctrine.

 

If God is existent, not nonexistent, and really is bigger then our hearts and minds suppose. If God loves us more then we love ourselves or each other. If our rigid doctrines and fixed beliefs in old Holy books, that are riddled with ancient myth and archaic law, is not the only hope we have say for instance. Where then, if this were true, might our hope begin and really end, if we could still dare hope in God or have any understanding of His ways, without this direction of these old Books.

 

The old Books are supposedly saying everything to be said about God’s nature in them can this be trusted as final? Is it possible the Holy Books are incomplete? Can they be partially filled with old superstition, partially filled with divine insight and direction? Can they compel adherence unfairly in ways like at times where they argue presenting God in unfavorable ways. Do some teachings justify war, while in other ways they construct great systems for good?

 

I purpose personally as “a Christian heretic” that God is bigger then our current systems suggest. I am placing my trust not in a war loving eternal Being either. If God is love, and I say He is, I then purpose then that His love is a love that can step over borders into distant ideological groups reaching the entire world over. God can therefore reach across ideological divides easily and fairly navigate amid all foreign tongues into lands with different books. He knows therefore, because He is God, the intricate secrets and histories of each individuals life and everyone’s personally lived struggling experience. What would that mean for people everywhere if they learned differently, had less advantage, were shaped some by favorable ideas some by unfavorable ideas?

 

If God was that big it would mean for them that He then could see every mistake we make and every time life’s imperfect forces misdirect a life. This God would also know every scar and every wound from childhood the person lives with. He would know and care about with love how he/she stumbled along in the world shaped by the impact of that life experience. He would know where anger and violence came from. He would know how the wounded person was won over to a violent path, for instance, or simply why a person was broken hearted, afraid, unfairly treated by the world, or where they went wrong in their moral character.

 

If God turned out to be bigger then the structures we build and cling to insanely He then would be fairer then we imagine. He would offer more of a hope then our current age continues to believe in. In order for us to change how we think we would have to revisit the old myths that divide us by our beliefs. The beliefs being competed over by clever orators giving speeches, sermons, and compelling a loyalty that now divide us up as human believers offering hope to only a small percentage of us as humanity. That hope comes if we have one answer right over another answer that is just as compelling is that reasonable for us still in this day?

 

I believe there is a good God and that He knows the intricate working of every person. I believe He loves all of us therefore His love is unconditional. I think God is, beyond what our limitations can envision, a merciful and loving Being and a friend to the ages.

 

I believe that this is the God we have and that His guidance is for us to live our lives with compassion and love. In Him is peace and hope. My example to point to in supporting this kind of far reaching love is Jesus life but there are other examples of good across religions.

 

The creativity we see around us is apparently part of God’s personality as well. Life as we see it is perhaps a canvass for God to paint on creatively amid other of His eternal endless canvases drawn on with designs we have never fathomed and that surpass our loftiest experiences and expectations.

 

These secret other worlds, systems, unusual places, perhaps are limitless and we as of yet only glimpse one of them while all the others are so unfamiliar to us we’d never predict them or even begin to understand them much like the mystery we know in this complex world of ours. We only see the genius in part. Most of us don’t know even a small percentage of the worlds creatures and beauties or it’s laws. The God I suggest is more just then politicians, generals, preachers and religious leaders as well.

 

Is hoping in a God this fair wise or is it truly deserving of disgust? Dare I go against certain scriptures to support my radical views? If I was right would life be better then how we currently organize it? If what I hoped for as real were true would that take away from Gods Holiness? Does the nature of God and His loving plan dare to go where I suggest it might really go? Should a love this inclusive dare reveal itself by trying to surpass the current limits of organized thought transcending old boundaries? Do these claims support a good and just Heavenly Father or if what I said about God were true would His nature not be as Holy and fair as some say it is as people presently interpret the truth of His plan?

 

Remember how many people have no hope beyond this world by these doctrines. Is that something sane or insane for us to believe? (Asked by a paranoid Schizophrenic)
