Last whatever. Into how I perceive theological issues. Such as God, the role of God will seem evil and all of those things. It's, you know, surface level, but like people argue about these things this topics all the time. So it's like something that I would like to have an input on. Maybe help clarify some things because I believe that the answers I found these questions are very good. And oh, sorry. And they do answer like for me, they feel the gaps. Because I have had some experience like going through different religions. I try different belief systems, I've written different books, holy books. And yeah.\n\nOkay, so first of all, this is not going to be a discussion about which God is a correct one, or which religion is a correct one. I don't care about these things. I have my answers. I'm not here to tell people, hey, your answers are correct or wrong or whatever. So, obviously, I am biased by being an Orthodox Christian, but it doesn't really matter as much. I will go into, like, hey, this religious group argues this thing to present an opinion, and then I will talk about, like, I will counter the argument. Like, for example, Protestants and Catholics and many Muslims and Jews, and there are big religious groups, many religious groups argue that, like, God is a judge figure, which I want to discuss, so I need to call, I don't want to be, like, a many religious groups who say this or that. I would like to be able to say this group or that group. Well.\n\nOkay, so the first topic I would like to talk about is the division between having three wheel as given by God versus the idea that God is a judge figure that does you all the time and that this cast and that essentially keeps track record of everything you have done and then once you die it gives present to you with what you have done so if this is true which I don't feel like it is, it contradicts the idea of three wheel in a major way because the idea of three wheel is that you can do what you want and you have authority over your life, you are the person that is in charge of your options and your opinions and your choices and having a judge walk over you and tell you, this is a good thing, this is a bad thing, it's really not in line with this idea. Having a judge over see you is more in line with you are inherently evil mode of thinking rather than you have the decision whether you want to do good or to do bad, whatever definition is, which I have given a definition, but you know, so yeah. To make a reference to the Bible, Jesus does say at a moment at a point that he alone has the authority. The Father has passed the authority to the Son to be the soul judge and that he will never use that ability. He has the ability to judge. He can if he wanted, but he does not want to judge because he does not want to enforce his authority. And his belief system is important because doing so would be contradictory to giving us the ability to choose. If he was going to enforce morality and perfection, then he might as well not have given free will in the first place. So it does not make any sense for a judge's deity to imbue creation with free will, the capacity to choose. Why would you choose? Why would you give them the option to choose when you're going to tell them if it's correct or not? Yes. You It would make a lot more sense with this in mind. It would make a lot more sense that the actual judge of the person is the person themselves. People, I notice myself feeling bad when I do something that I feel is not good for me. And there are other times where I strive to make me a decision because I don't know if it's good or not, but when I do make the decision, I feel good. And so there is this idea that when you pass to the next life, you have your judge for your actions, but the judge is yourself. You judge yourself and you nitpick every little thing that you have done throughout your entire life. And therefore, you decide your fate, which is a lot more cohesive with the idea of free will exist in us, the mode of with which humans and everything operates in general. There is an allegory, I don't know if that's an allegory, I'm metaphor, that a friend of mine has presented me with when I was going through a different philosophical aspects and questions of religion in general. He told me that in some of the fathers of the church in Orthodoxy have given examples of what it is like to be in heaven or hell to go to the bad place or the good place, essentially in any religion. And the way that he presented is the one that I'd like the most out of the ones that he has told me about is this idea that when you die, you go into a field, everybody, good or bad, or whatever goes to a field. And in front of you, the son is not the son, but it's the entirety of God, essentially, he's in the full glory of God. And so you come to that when you see that, you obviously you're overwhelmed by sentiment because it's like the, if you, the options are essentially, how do I feel when I see God in front of me? Do I feel the lose? Do I feel malicious? Do I feel hateful? If I have negative perceptions of this thing of the truth with a capital T in front of me, obviously, this, this light, this blinding light is going to burn me and it's going to hurt and it's going to torment my soul forever because I cannot stand to see God, uh, above me in the entire glory of God, essentially, whilst if you, if you accept your position, if you are humble and if you, you know that this is the, the truth essentially, except this as a truth, uh, then you are so happy, you're overwhelmed with happiness and all of the, the good feelings is the, the light is not burning you, but rather it's like, it's a, a warm spring day and you lie in the field and the sun hits you and warms you up and this, the difference between something burning you were something having a warmth that is the difference between having a help in, in, in normal looks. And it also makes sense to a huge extent why and how, like, in Orthodoxy, because in Catholicism you have the Purgatory, essentially, for light scenes, or you have the first circle of hell for people that are known, that were not religious, that didn't know, but it just so good. This implies that everybody, by default, goes to hell and therefore to some extent every human is evil, and also it implies that, like, God is the one deciding, oh, you know, their scenes weren't that bad, so let's keep them in Purgatory to clean up a bit and then they can go on to be in heaven. Which doesn't make sense, and the results are called, I remember, reading, where it was, like, if I don't believe in God, will I go to heaven or hell? Oh, you actually go to heaven because you would not have known that you were being evil, and so the other person responds and why would you tell me that? And because that implies that the knowledge of God forces you to behave in a way, if there is no enforcement of that, in reality, it's all a strict feeling, because whether you believe in God or not, you're always ending up in the same place, and therefore it is up to you to perceive the thing that you're perceiving. It's up to you to choose how you feel and how you handle yourself in front of this thing in front of you. |
