Welcome to our
article,
May God guide and
help me to say the right things.
Dear readers, we want to know whether religions came about because there have been signs from heaven, or man made everything up. Because there are reasons to believe that religions could be man-made, we say that they could be man-made, because we need to give the benefit of doubts.
Now, if we assume that religious are man-made, we need to search for the proof to establish that, and then we need to explain religions better and in different ways, we need to explain why they have been made up the way that they have been made up.
But religions might not be completely made up, because, if we consider the spiritual side there must be something in it. You see, all religions have a spiritual side, so, we must assume that there is a spiritual side, and from this spiritual side people have made up our religious beliefs.
In our previous religious
discussions, we have seen that there are many religions in the world; therefore, we may have to assume that religions are man-made. This does not
mean that God does not exist, but it means that we should not follow blindly
all religious doctrine. Therefore, we must use our common
sense and check, if what is being said may or may not be true.
Now, if we are
talking about the Bible, the first thing that comes to my mind, is whether the
seven days of at the beginning of the Bible, were seven days or thousands of
years. Then, we want to prove that what is written in the Bible is the truth,
which might not be. Look at our article, Flood in the days
of Noah, where we have proof that the flood was not as universal as the writers
of the Bible want us to believe. We believe that the flood happened, but it did
not cover the entire world.
Therefore, it is time that mankind sees the truth, but the truth is that man wrote the Bible, perhaps it was God inspiration at the beginning; but then they wrote and re-wrote the Bible, knowing that if they wrote it in a certain way, they could control the believer under them. This is what I believe myself, but then I might be wrong. So, let us discuss this issue,
-------------------------------------
Talking about religious issues
We talked about these religious issues and concluded that we don’t like the way the Bible is being explained to the believers; because there are things that seem wrong. You see, there is the fact that when the Bible was written for the first time, everything was different from today, therefore, the Bible was written according to those time to guide the people of those times. I believe that if the Bible was to be written today, it would be written in a different way.
Now, I believe that it is necessary to write a few articles to show what we mean about criticizing the Bible, when we believe there are issues that don’t agree with our understanding of the Bible.
Religious discussions with friends
Anyhow, after
chatting about a few happy events, we talked about religions, and asked them
whether they had given any thought about what we were discussing last time we
met.
Well they said, we
have indeed thought about it and we still believe that there must be another
explanation, why the Bible says that man was made from plain dirt. Yes, indeed
there can be more than another explanation, it is likely that there are several
explanations, which falls in line with what we have been thinking that
religions are man-made. Now, we must look at the reasons why man wanted that God would create man from plain dirt.
As we have said,
about the creation of man before, man cannot be created from dirt, because even
God has got to be subject to the laws of nature. Anyhow, God first and foremost
uses the natural ways to create anything, we believe that this is God ways; then
we want to point out that there was no need for God to make us from clay;
because we were there in the form of animals.
But the ancient
Jews, wanted that their God more powerful than all the other gods put together,
so, they gave their God this extra power, and their God was so powerful that
could even create a man from plain dirt.
Here Peter comes in and says do you see what we mean? They (the Jews) wanted this Super God to have so much powers that was even able to create a man from dirt.
Perhaps this idea came about when man started to make statues, and, in their fantasies, wished that those statues were real people or animals. Therefore, they started to think that God could be able to do that, and thus, the wish that God could make those statues become alive was born.
This is all what
was said about religions at this encounter.
-------------------------------
What we should believe about religions.
During our discussions, we are having difficulty in proving that God created life and everything else in the world. Sometimes I start thinking that the atheists might be right, when they say that there is no god. But I cannot accept that, because God and religions are the fundamental rules that in a way or another guarantees justice.
There is also the
fact, that I cannot explain to myself everything about life, therefore, I
believe that there is a god because there is life; and also for most people God is hope for those that need hope most.
Can you imagine
that there are no gods, and people that happen to suffer in this world cannot
even think of something that gives them hope, what sort of world is this? Would
these people that find life hard despair even more?
I know that we have even called this hub, Religions could be man-made, but this does not mean that there must not be a god. Because God must exists, and God is life, as we explained in, God exists because life exists.
Here I want to
paste an article I found on the internet, that shows you what other people
think about God.
Anyhow, I am going to write this theory, where I am
going to describe how I see God.
I believe that we have said enough in this article,
so, see you with our next article, where we are talking about the creation of
man. See you soon.
To see more click on this link, Religions could be man made.
May God bless us
all.
