10 Religious Myths that Destory Our Relationship With God

10 Religious Myths that Destroy Our Relationship with God

1.God wants us to love others more than we love ourselves.

On the contrary, Jesus invoked us to love others as we love ourselves. He didn’t say that we must give up our own good. Without a right relationship with ourselves, without knowing how to love ourselves, we won’t even have the standard by which to follow Jesus’ commandment of loving others as we love ourselves.

2.The more suffering we undergo, the more God will love us.

God is not a sadistic God who derives pleasure from our suffering. If we ever suffer, it is to be strengthened and avoid further suffering later on.

3.God hates us when we are not perfect.

More than anybody else, it is God who knows everything. He clearly knows we are not perfect yet, and that’s why He is helping us. Why allow us to be imperfect only to hate us?

4.God will send us to an eternal hell due to a technicality.

There have been many religions built by virtue of the fear of being technically disqualified from heaven. These beliefs tell us that if we fail to perform certain things exactly as God wanted it to be, we would forever be cast into hell-fire as though God tricked us, wanting us to be condemned.

5.There is a clear division between good people and bad people.

Judge not so as not be judged. This myth clearly denotes exclusivity, that only one kind of people can be good and the others have no right whatsoever to be children of God.

6.God plays favorites.

This myth tells us that God only grants favors to a favored few, that He doesn’t perform miracles for all, that He cannot or will not heal us all because He doesn’t love us all equally. That’s just not true. He makes it rain both on the just and the unjust. He makes the sun to shine not only for a few people, but for all. Karma applies to all. The Law of Attraction applies to all. Love is available to all.

7.God can’t love rich people.

Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, even Job, they have lots of material possessions. But does God hate them?

8.People will do nothing in heaven except pray, sing and play harps.

If all that God ever wanted were musicians, he’d have just enrolled us all in music schools rather than dying for us, teaching us what it is to be fully human and fully Divine.

9.Our ultimate goal is to die and qualify for heaven.

“I am the way, the truth and the life”, Jesus said. A religion that points only to death will only lead to death and forfeits the gift of life given us by God.

10.Salvation refers only to the saving of the soul.

If all that God ever wanted were souls, He wouldn’t have allowed human birth into the physical form. It would have been easier because if we were spirits, we wouldn’t have been exposed to so many temptations like lust, greed, gluttony. If God doesn’t care for our physical well-being, Jesus wouldn’t have healed the blind, the lame, and all those begging him for another chance at life.

Why don’t you check your beliefs? Where is it based? Is it really based on the unconditional love of God for all His children? What’s keeping you from forming a good relationship with God?

God does not rush

God does not rush

I’ve learned that the Lord does not desire to rush me. Rather, He wants me to grow in His time, and so I must be patient.

Before He sends me forth, I know that there are some things He wants to deal with first. Though I thought I was prepared, He showed me I wasn’t ready yet. He made me come face to face with my weaknesses and I knew that it will take time.

I trust in Him however, that He will finish the good work He had begun!

Eight Universal Laws That Will Change Your Life

What are Universal Laws? These are the principles that are fixed and applies to you whether you are aware of them of not. Wise men have deciphered them. Prophets were revealed their secrets. But not all were able to benefit from them because their simple laws have been cloaked in the depths of religious rituals and theological debates. These Laws are simple. I call them Keys, KEYS that include the famous Law of Attraction that have attracted and confused many at the same time. Hereunder are the Universal Laws that will change your life.

8 KEYS OF PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SALVATION

1. The KEY of the ABSOLUTE

GOD is absolute good and absolute love. There is no exception. There are no excuses.

“but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.”-Matthew 5:44-45

How can we be urged to be good both on the just and the unjust when God himself can’t do it? Many have already been disheartened, turning away from religion, and from the Ultimate Source, because they have been briefed how “conditional” God’s love really is. And why not? Reading from the Bible, especially from the Old Testament, we can see many references to a God who becomes jealous, to a God who withholds his blessings and takes vengeance upon the people, to a God who cannot intervene when his people needs him the most.

I believe that these are based mainly from wrong interpretations of what has really transpired. Men saw God not in God’s eyes, but through his own limited vision. God is saying something, but we are hearing another thing. We have a hard time dealing with the perfect, with the absolute. And that is why we see so many inconsistencies in God’s character in the Bible, one day being perfect, the other days being moody and easily angered and offended. These inconsistencies are not from the Ultimate Source, but from the various people who wrote the message they were given. They may have really seen something, a vision perhaps, but whoever said that every vision is a clear vision? Do we all have 20/20 vision?

This key of the absolute is evident even in the study of nature for it is said that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. This is ABSOLUTE. There are no exceptions.

2. The KEY of FREEDOM

Men have freewill, on earth and even in life after death. To talk of an eternal heaven or hell where one can no longer escape is to talk of the lost of freedom. And if this freedom can be lost and is not important, why give it in the first place?

Freedom is important and is the highest manifestation of man’s dignity. In my article MAN’s PURPOSE, I have discussed why among all of nature’s creatures, only man questions his purpose, the answer being, his purpose depends upon his freedom and his ability to decide how he wants to live his life.

Together with this freedom is the condition of being able to experience both good and bad, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat. If there were only one course of action, whatever is freedom for?

Freedom imbues man with divine attributes, attributes that include responsibility, accountability, the power to create, and the power to destroy.

This freedom is also the reason why we do not see God intervening in times when evil men seem to succeed in what they do, especially when they do harm and cause sufferings to other people. If God were to intervene everytime such acts happen, where is freedom there? Men are free to do evil as they are free to do good.

Now some may ask, if men were created in the image of God, and if men are free, is God also free? Can God choose to be evil? I would say that God is free to do that, but what God did is something better. God chose to pass that freedom unto us so we may decide to choose ourselves whether to experience good or evil.

3. The KEY of VIBRATION

Objects of similar vibration attract each other

This is also related to the law of cause and effect and to the law of karma. Whatever you sow you also reap. You attract what you’ve already planted in your heart.

This key balances the key of freedom in such a way as to give corresponding value and effect to all the choices that we make. This key possesses the hand of justice when others abuse their freedom and fail to see the consequences of their choices and actions.

This is also the explanation why we sometimes encounter difficulty due to collective consciousness.

This cause and effect is also the reason for the blessings and curses in the old testament. It is not God who causes the people to suffer. It is the people who have brought such sufferings unto themselves by doing evil and reaping all its consequences. God was even good enough to give them the commandments as a guide on how to live life well and avoid the negative consequences of their sinful actions.

4. The KEY of TRANSMUTATION

The challenge of life is that of transition and the transmutation of evil into good.

This key also answers the question on whether God intervenes in the affairs of men. The answer is YES, but only through men of enlightenment. JESUS for instance bridges heaven and earth. “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus says.

We do not all possess a level of consciousness that can allow us to bridge heaven and earth as Jesus did, but we can come to him to help us find our way. We are bridges of one another, uplifting one another up in our voyage of transcending our valleys to climb the highest peaks within our vision.

We pray for other people because this helps raise their vibration or align it to the Source through you. If God were good and if there is no law such as this, do you think we ever need to pray for anyone still? Won’t God give their blessings unto them without need for asking?

This is the way by which man’s freedom is not infringed but at the same time, man is not cut off from the unlimited power available in the Universe.

This key enables men to tap unto the Higher Source, even unto the Ultimate Source and transform vibrations that cannot easily be changed using one’s own limitations.

Per the key of the absolute we discussed that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but only trasformed. Now I add that matter can only be TRANSMUTED. All creation is a work of transmutation.

Man himself is a work of transmutation, God performing a marvellous transmutation unto the dust from which man came from.

5. The KEY of FAITH

Faith is required to connect to the Absolute Source or GOD. The New Testament is filled with precepts on how significant one’s faith is.

Without connnecting to the Source, no transmutation can ever take place. This is one reason why Jesus said that whoever believes in him shall be saved.

6. The KEY of LOVE

After connecting thru faith, it is LOVE that is required in order to empower miracles.

Without love, there is no sufficient purpose to manifest anything. Without love, the unmanifest cannot manifest, the darkness cannot be filled by light. Love is the force that propels, even unto seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Love is both the mover and the reason for every move taking place. Love alone persists unto completion.

7. The KEY of SURRENDER

Letting go fortifies faith and allows the flow of energy from the Source. It is not enough that one believes. One must surrender totally in order for Love to be allowed to do its work.

Now many may ask which comes first, is it Love or is it surrender? One must have known that once Love takes over you, one has no other choice but to surrender. Love is so powerful that once an opportunity opens for it to come in, it flows through you and moves you in ways you never even imagined.

On the other hand, it is faith that often gives us the needed nudge so that the door of surrender may be opened for love to come right in.

In some occassions, when both love and faith seem totally absent, surrender is reached through a path we desire not, but proves to be a blessing in the end. Such is the role of pain, of sorrow, of the exhaustion that helps us to give up trying to accomplish something out of our own limited strength. Many times indeed, it is when we have surrendered that we find the infinite strength that will propel us in achieving our highest purposes and desires.
8. The KEY of MYSTERY

Not everything is revealed at once but in their proper season. The veil is as important as the keys. Men often go wrong when they become impatient and try to figure out everything at once. Why would you need all that knowledge at once? Are you prepared to receive it? Are you strong enough to be able to use it? The veil is lifted up at right time when we are ready enough to find the key behind it. There is a season for everything, and everything comes at the right season it was destined to arrive.

These are the EIGHT KEYS of Salvation, the EIGHT UNIVERSAL LAWS that will change your life!

Where There is No True Religion There are No True Virtues

For though the soul may seem to rule the body admirably, and the reason the vices, if the soul and reason do not themselves obey God, as God has commanded them to serve Him, they have no proper authority over the body and the vices. For what kind of mistress of the body and the vices can that mind be which is ignorant of the true God, and which, instead of being subject to His authority, is prostituted to the corrupting influences of the most vicious demons? It is for this reason that the virtues which it seems to itself to possess, and by which it restrains the body and the vices that it may obtain and keep what it desires, are rather vices than virtues so long as there is no reference to God in the matter. For although some suppose that virtues which have a reference only to themselves, and are desired only on their own account, are yet true and genuine virtues, the fact is that even then they are inflated with pride, and are therefore to be reckoned vices rather than virtues. For as that which gives life to the flesh is not derived from flesh, but is above it, so that which gives blessed life to man is not derived from man, but is something above him; and what I say of man is true of every celestial power and virtue whatsoever.

A Dialogue before Reincarnation

David- Isn’t it unfair? Those murderers are still out there, given a chance to redeem their lives, while I’m here, and my wife’s been murdered for no reason? Where is justice at all?

Samuel- You have a choice even unto eternity. That’s why people like me come here again and again, that the choice may be presented to you. Otherwise, all that you will ever get to see is darkness and you will forget how light ever existed at all.

Samuel - heaven is a long way, while rebirth is an easy alternative and many choose it to escape from here when they can bear no more. They have only to plunge unto that lake and all will be settled. I do not recommend it though. It is better to work from where you are rather than start all over with nothing. No matter how much a failure your life seemed to be, there were priceless jewels of virtue, wisdom and love, memories you had that you can’t just throw away. Yes, even your tears are worth keeping.

David- But they say when you get back you will remember everything.

Samuel - Put it this way. When you get back, you will see something like a motion picture of your previous lives. But you will see it as though you were merely an audience, not an actor. When you lose your soul, you lose everything. That is the second death.

“For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul”

The above scene seems dark, yet it may be Light indeed compared to the darkness of the Truth which transpires for those who have stubbornly refused Mercy and chosen the bitter yet righteous Judgment that commences thereafter.

Having cast ourselves into the indescribable pitch darkness of it all, could we ever find there some glimmer of hope to cling on to? Where can we find it if our very hearts refuses the very sanctity of the Ultimate Sacrifice? Can we find it with others who have cast themselves into the darkness as well? Can we find it with those fallen beings who for all eternity will never change their minds in refusing the very light that can comfort them in their darkness?

In alchemy, we have to have some gold in order to create gold. For we cannot create something out of nothing. Where shall the golden light come from where darkness is and light is not?

Only on earth do we find both light and darkness, morning and evening, summer and winter, evil and good. Duality is here intermingled and given time before the final separation at the last appointed time. Will there be a seed of Light within you to give you a glimmer of hope where you might ever go?
