Welcome to our
article,
May God guide and
help me to say the right things?
Anyhow, in this article, we
continue to talk about religions, we must say that religions have served
humanity well for a long time; but they are the same old religions that we have
had for centuries. But today religions are growing stale, because they are old
fashioned, since nobody suggests that they need to be modified, to fall in line
with the times that we live in.
You see, today
everything is changing quickly, because of this new electronic era; but
religions are not changing and are becoming old fashioned and stale. So, if we
believe in a benevolent God of the universe, and that religions are beneficial
to mankind, we should ask ourselves, if we need religious changes, so that
religions can be attractive to people, as they used to be in the past, when
life was simple and electronic did not exist.
So, I believe that
we must decide what can be done, to keep religions in touch with today trend.
We have reasons to believe that in the past religions have contributed a great
deal more to humanity than today, because the people then were simple minded
and accepted religious beliefs just the way it was explained to them.
Today people know a
lot more than they used to know, so, they are asking questions about religious
beliefs, this can be the reason why religions are running out of steam. You see,
mankind has not changed major religious beliefs for about two thousand years,
if we are following religion according to the Bible, or other religious books
that derive from the Bible. One of the reasons is that we believe that
religious beliefs should not change; but if we look closely, we will discover
that religious beliefs can change and remain attached to God and the same
eternal spiritual forces.
We know that there
are other major religions in the world, which don’t have anything to do with
what is written in the Bible, but we in the western world don’t know enough
about them, so, our comments about them is limited. But if we look at the
religions that derive from the Bible, they are the same, that is why religions
start looking stale, and that is why the atheists attack religions. Therefore,
I want to suggest that we need religious people, to do something to give
religions more importance. You see, every now and then some changes are required, even for religions, so, let us discuss it hereunder.
-----------------------------------------------
More religious contribution is required
Today if we ask
ourselves; what have we done about religious beliefs lately? I guess that we
have not done nothing. What we are saying here is that after the Bible was written
including the New Testament no major changes in beliefs have happened, even
though the Koran has been written, The Koran -- Simple
Search , and also the Book of Mormon, has been written,
and the authors of these two books assure us that they have written them
according to divine interventions that they personally experienced. However,
these two religious books always refer to happenings written in the Bible; so,
it seems to me that they derive from the Bible, even when they show new
religious happenings and other religious rules.
There are also
smaller and less known religions, which have in common the Bible, since the
Bible is the most important known religious book of the western world; for what
we know it is likely the first five books of the Bible have been written before
any other existing religious book in the world; but some scholars believe that
Hinduism is the first religions recorded; one of the books of Hinduism is the, The Laws of Manu
Anyhow, here let us
talk about western religions, it would be right to assume that Moses wrote or
caused to write these five first books in the Bible, while he was for forty
years in the Sinai desert, since Moses had to keep the record of what was
happening and to lay down the laws that God was giving him. These writing
events were happening about 1500 years before current era, which could be 3500
years ago; therefore, the beginning of the Bible was written by Moses of the house
of Levi a long time ago, these books could have been just notes to record what
was important to remember. After Moses died the leaders that followed caused
their scribes to continue to write, in order to keep the record of the main
religious events; so, for about sixteen hundred years or there about all the
main religious and historic events were thus recorded.
Now we must
understand that the Bible, not only was a religious book of the Israelite, but
it also doubled up as a history book for them until the time of Jesus Christ.
When the Old Testament came to an end; and the New Testament began according to
the Christian Bible and the four Gospel written in it, here the Jews split from
Christianity and they have for religious book the Torah. Judaism 101: Torah which I understand as being the old
Bible plus something that they believe is important to them.
Now, as we have said, these religious things have been written in the Bible, and the Bible was a continuous book about the Jews history, but then they stopped writing the Bible. there were a couple of events that stopped them writing the Bible, one was the split between Jews and christian, the other is the last episode in the Bible, revelation. But let us see the reasons, in our next blog, Why they stopped writing the Bible.
So, see you next time with our blog, Why they stopped writing the Bible.
May God bless us all.
