The pope is usually a very wise man, as he represents the Christian wisdom on earth

Manu is a very ancient wise man he belongs to the Indian religions

Religious discussions

Dear readers, we all need to talk to our friends sometimes just to see what they think about your own beliefs or ideas, which could be religious or otherwise; I am saying this because I am sure that you would like to know why I am bringing in my friends to talk about these religious issues. I know you are saying why bring them in when you already know most of the answers about what you want to write and discuss? But you see even me need reassurance and since my friends were willing to help me, we had a meeting to talk these religious things. At this religious meeting Mark, Gino and three other friends came as they had promised.

At the beginning of this meeting we were all behaving just like children, as we all wanted to push above all our own views without listening to each other, so I thought that the meeting was going to be just a waste of time, what else could it be, as we had never had a meeting with an agenda in mind to discuss. But then, my friend Mark soon became aware of my feelings and he said; Look the way we are going about is not going to get us anywhere, if we want to help Frank, and since we are here to help Frank, then, let Frank be the one who talks first. After he states his views we will have plenty of time to state our own views.

So, there and then, I had to put my very mixed thoughts into words, and I didn’t even know how to start in front of my friends, as confusion was on my mind, not because I was really confused, but because what I wanted to say was so complex, just because what I was aiming to achieve at this meeting was not easy, since we had a decision to make about these future religious writings that I wanted to write, therefore everything that I had in mind was complex, but in the end I said:

My dear friends, I can feel within my heart that you are my friends indeed, because you have come forward to help me on this very difficult decision that I am facing today. Now let it be understood before we start that this task of mine is not going to be easy for anyone of us to achieve, so if you still want to help me to succeed in writing my religious theory, which I would like to write, because of my personal spiritual circumstances, then, first of all I will have to tell you that it is going to be hard; because, what I have in mind to write is going to be a very controversial religious subject, so there will be lots of people that are not going to agree with our religious views, but then because of my spiritual circumstances, I feel that I want to do it, because there is a time for everything and this is the right time; this religious time that I am talking about I believe is very close, so, I feel that even now is time to start. Having said that I have also to say to you this, if you are my helper, because people may not like what I am going to write, they could also not like you for helping me. So you better consider that for yourself right now is that understood?

Having warned you of what might happen to us all, now I feel free to say how I see this unusual situation and try to reason what can be done. I believe that it really takes more than a few very wise people to be able to begin solving this problematic religious situation, and whether the existing religious situation could and would be solved nobody knows. So this question arises; in theory are we going to be wise enough to solve it? Or at least to get it started in the right direction? So that one day humanity would be able to solve these religious problems that we see today, as we all know about the atheists and the religious extremists.

I need to say that I have reasons to believe that it all depends on our wisdom and our beliefs, so, let us make it simple to start with, because if we believe that there is a god, then it follows that if we believe in God and religions, then God will help us achieve what we are willing to achieve.

Now let me talk a little about Wisdom, which is something that we are going to need so much, if we are going to solve anything at all, so hereunder are my views about wisdom since we are going to need it.

-------------------------------------------

Wisdom and knowledge

Views about wisdom and knowledge

During our lives many issues arise and some of them are easy to solve, some others are not that easy to solve; for instance, today we would like to solve these religious problems that exist in the world, so how do we go about to solve them? First of all we look at these issues and see that the world religious issues are also spiritual circumstances that may exist in every one of us, therefore we have to be very careful here as they are not easy to solve; the only thing that we can do here is use our knowledge and wisdom if we have any. Now let me explain what wisdom is in my opinion: Wisdom is the mental capacity of a wise person, whom when confronted with a problem is able to solve it better than the average person, because he is wise.

Therefore, his/her wisdom is usually an accumulated knowledge of all those events that this person has lived during his/her life; therefore this wise person is capable somehow of using this accumulated knowledge to his own advantage, therefore when a problem arises he/she would be able to solve it better than the others people.

It is not known why one wise person becomes wiser than somebody else, even though they might have lived most of the same events together, so, we may have to guess at the reasons why, so, let us say that some people are better able to assimilate their accumulated knowledge, perhaps by storing it at the highest level in their own mind and when the need arises they are able to use this accumulated knowledge to their advantage.

Since wisdom (accumulated knowledge) may be stored at one level higher that just logic reasoning, so, it may seem and feel like a sixth sense to the wise man that has it. The wise man knowing what he should do by this intuition of his sixth sense, he also uses logic reasoning just to make sure that everything is all right to back up his wisdom.

Of course there are other possibilities also, so we better mention something about this, some people believe that there is also a small possibility that the wise person may be able to tune into the cosmos, which is thought that it may be able to store the entire accumulated knowledge of everything in the universe just like God, this thought of course gives rise to this question.

Is the cosmos an integral part of God of the universe? Well it may be part of God.

But here we are talking about wisdom and not God. So the definition of wisdom and where it comes from may still remain a mystery to most of us, but that does not matter because we can use wisdom our accumulated knowledge to achieve our goals. Therefore we are going to use our accumulated knowledge, which together with our logic reasoning may be able to come close to achieve our goal. And as I have said before, it seems to me that now the time has come for us to do something about it, I see it and you may see it that there is a time for everything, so let us try and see what needs to be done, and let us study what is around us, so that we may understand better the situation, before we do unnecessary things that could make the situation worse, but anyhow it seems to me that the time has come for us to do something about these religious beliefs; because as we have said there is a time for everything, and this is what we will be writing in our next post. See you soon.

May God guide us to achieve something useful?

Creation of mankind

WELCOME TO MENFRANCO RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT, SO THAT YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING IN THE RELIGIOUS FIELD DISCUSSED. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.

Welcome to my blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and my post, Creation of mankind
-

The Garden of Eden and Adam and Eva

Creation of mankind

Welcome to my post, Creation and creation of mankind. This is the first post that we talk about creation; this post will be followed by other post about creation, the reason for doing this it is because we are going to talk about many religions and perhaps myths of how the world started and how man came about, or created as this has to do with religious beliefs.

This is a study of religions and how they serve humanity; therefore in this article we are trying to compare at least the two largest religions of the world, how they begin and then how they explain creation and the creation of mankind.

So, let us see first of all how these main religions begin, and how they explain briefly the very beginning, the way it is written in their religious books and first of all let us talk about the Bible.

This is our personal view and we feel that the Bible starts in a very bold way and it does not explain how God came about, since God is there ready to create the world, as most of us know the Bible stars thus:

¹ In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

² Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.

³ God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.

⁴ God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.

⁵ God called light 'day', and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came: the first day.

⁶ God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was.

⁷ God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.

⁸ God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day.

----------------

This was the first day of God’s creation in the Bible, God continues to create the rest, and then God created man.

²⁶ God said, 'Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.'

²⁷ God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.

²⁸ God blessed them, saying to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.'

²⁹ God also said, 'Look, to you I give all the seed-bearing plants everywhere on the surface of the earth, and all the trees with seed-bearing fruit; this will be your food.

³⁰ And to all the wild animals, all the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that creep along the ground, I give all the foliage of the plants as their food.' And so it was.

³¹ God saw all he had made, and indeed it was very good. Evening came and morning came: the sixth day.

Here-under there is a second description of how God created man:

⁵ there was as yet no wild bush on the earth nor had any wild plant yet sprung up, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, nor was there any man to till the soil.

⁶ Instead, water flowed out of the ground and watered all the surface of the soil.

⁷ Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being.

⁸ Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, which is in the east, and there he put the man he had fashioned.

⁹ From the soil, Yahweh God caused to grow every kind of tree, enticing to look at and good to eat, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And still there is another creation going:

²⁰ The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of heaven and all the wild animals. But no helper suitable for the man was found for him.

²¹ Then, Yahweh God made the man fall into a deep sleep. And, while he was asleep, he took one of his ribs and closed the flesh up again forthwith.

²² Yahweh God fashioned the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.

²³ And the man said: This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh! She is to be called Woman, because she was taken from Man.

²⁴ This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and they become one flesh.

This is how the Bible explains creation and the creation of mankind.

Spiritual circumstances

WELCOME TO MENFRANCO RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-

Spiritual circumstances

Welcome to my post, Spiritual circumstances do exist;

May God help and guide me to write the right religious things in this chapter called, Spiritual circumstances do exist, being part also of Prayers for Reconciliation religious writings.

When or if we look back at our own religious life observations that we have already written and many other religious things that the people believe, we might have to agree that some sorts of spiritual circumstances do exist, since these are the circumstances that we happen to live during our own lives and they should all be viewed together with our other life observations.

Now this article is being written to explain some of these spiritual circumstances; but it is also being written for other articles. As I have already said in my other posts, these religious writings are being written in good faith for the benefit of mankind. In these writings we are in search of ourselves religiously so to speak, so, while we are writing and discussing what our main theme of spiritual circumstance is, we will also be looking for religious options that could improve links between religions. In one of our last posts we have talked about, the existence of God. In this post we will be writing about: Those spiritual circumstances that sometimes happen in our lives, and why I made the decision to tell my friends about them?

But first of all let me say something about these religious writing, where I would like to assure my readers that my intention is to try to modify religions wherever possible without upsetting anybody, So please read the following:

For my readers’ peace of mind

Now, for my readers’ peace of mind I am repeating this explanation again, because some of you may find these religious writings controversial, so, again let me explain to our readers about these religious writings while writing my introduction for this article:

To anyone who is a believer and believes in God and other religious beliefs, please read my Prayers for reconciliation writings fully before you pass judgment and quit reading; you see Prayers for Reconciliation is only an idealistic theory, which through discussions with other fellow believer (and perhaps non-believers) is trying to find a way on how to link all existing religions together; therefore your religious beliefs and the existing religions will remain just the way they are today. So, don’t you worry if my religious writings could sound different from the ways that we usually hear religions being preached, as it will all be explained as you read them, and then, you can judge for yourself at the end of our religious writings of Prayers for reconciliation and Reconciliation of the Universe?

---------------------------------------------

Our spiritual circumstances

Let me welcome you again to my post called, Spiritual circumstances exist

Dear readers I would like to bring to your attention that spiritual circumstances exist, because everything that is religious, by default is also spiritual; this also applies to what we have already said before, where we have somehow come to the conclusion in the hub called ‘God exists,8’ first that God exists at least by definition, and then we have also assumed that God exists even if God is different from the God in the Bible; this here is the link to check it out; God exists, 8 , we have also talked about spiritual dreams; this is the link to check it out; Cosmic Spiritual Dreams, 7 , and we also have published Prayers for reconciliation, 5; this is the link to check it out Prayers for Reconciliation, 5,

Now, what follows here-under has been born from the need of circumstances, because spiritual circumstances exist as we have explained above, and also as you can see for yourself. You see, here I am talking about everything put together; but then I have also to say that what we have written in Prayers for Reconciliation and my spiritual dreams and other things, they are all driving me to write these religious writings that I am writing here, I hope that you can see the link that spiritual circumstances exist. You see after that supernatural experience that I had then, and I need to say also that for a long time I kept that supernatural happening to myself, as I felt that I had to keep it to myself somehow, because when these unusual things happen and you tell someone they think you are going crazy.

Therefore before I told anyone, I had to think it over many times whether I should tell at least my most trusted friends about this supernatural and unbelievable happening, because what I saw and heard at that time could only make sense to myself and nobody else. Anyhow, in the end I came to the conclusion that I had to tell at least my most trusted friends, even if they might think that I was crazy, after all they were my friends.

Telling my friends

And just as I thought, the very first time that I told my friends about the supernatural event they seemed worried about what I had just told them, and after consulting among themselves for a while they came back to me and said;

If you really believe in what you have seen and heard to be true, and you have not dreamed it or invented it, but really it has happened to you, then, we have to believe you no more questions about that. And then later on they went on saying, if what you are saying is true, then the question arises what can one do about it? And also what are you going to do about it?

So I replied to them, that although I felt within myself that I wanted to do something about it, for me it would not be easy to tell the world of this supernatural happening, because very likely they would think that I was crazy, and then, how could I make the world believe that it had really happened to me? So I said that I had to think it over.

Now, I do not know why my friends came to my rescue, whether they wanted to know more about my mental state, or just for friendship sake, my fried Mark said: because you don’t seem to feel sure about yourself, we, (that is me and Gino here) are ready to help you in any way possible, as we feel within our hearts that you need some help to encourage you to do something about it, or at least talk about it, if you so wish.

Then my lifelong friend Mark said to Gino: Would you be ready to help Frank, Gino with this somehow religious matter that is on his mind?

And Gino said yes.

This is how I accepted to write these religious writings with the help of my friends Mark and Gino.

So now, I am going to call on my friends to have a good talk about these religious writings, since they believe me about my spiritual circumstances.

Before I call this meeting with Mark and Gino, let me say a prayer of reconciliation to Our Heavenly Father, so that I would become inspired and worthy to write these religious writings, that I am hoping to write with the help of my friends of course.

THIS IS MY PRAYER OF RECONCILIATION TO GOD.

Almighty and merciful Father, to you I turn Father-Most-High praying with all my heart, my soul and my mind earnestly; I am praying and hoping that in your mercy you would forgive me all my life sins, and that you would make me spiritually clean of any impurities that may affect my soul; so that, I would become worthy to pray to you and be heard and worthy in your eyes to be your humble servant and write these religious writings as humanly as possible according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and help me! Amen.

I believe that I have said enough in this post, but I am going to write another religious post soon; see you then.

New pope

The new pope

A new pope has been elected perhaps quicker than expected. But here I would like to say that as an Italian born it is/was only natural that I wished the future pope would be Italian, everybody wishes the pope is from their own country, but then again there are a lot of things to take into consideration, which sometimes dictate that that cannot be done easily, so we have to accept what is best for all the Christian community, and that is just what the cardinals did, I hope, by electing a pope from south America, which has a lot of Catholics people. He also seems to me a very religious man, which is a good thing considering his religious job; anyhow we are all waiting to see where he is going the lead the Catholic Church?

Has this new elected pope have what it takes to lead the Roman Catholic Church?

Here are some links to learn about the new pope and other religious issues.

Latin America celebrates Pope Francis

Cardinals hold inconclusive pope vote

New Pope Francis

In the footsteps of the cardinals

This new pope has got a lot to do to restore faith to those people that have lost faith in the Roman Catholic Church.

May God help him to do the right things?

We can prove that God exists

WELCOME TO MENFRANCO RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT, SO THAT YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING IN THE RELIGIOUS FIELD DISCUSSED. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to my blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and this post; We can prove that God exists

God can manifest himself in many ways, it is up to our own imagination to see God.
-

We can prove that God exists

HOW CAN WE PROVE THAT GOD EXISTS?

Apart what we have already said in the posts before, we believe that there is more to add in order to prove the existence of God, because God could exist in many different forms, therefore it is up to us to imagine how God can be like, but now, let me go back to what I found on the Internet, and then I will write my own theory about God.

Just to show you an example, hereunder is what T. Latham at hub pages says in answer to one of my questions about the existence of God; my questions in hub pages were: How do you know that God exists? The atheists say that there is no God. Can we prove them wrong?

Can we prove that God exists? This is one answer I have received to my question.

This is what T. Latham said in answer to my questions, and I quote:

Dr. Frank J. Tipler, a Mathematics and Physics Professor at Tulane University, proves that not only does God exist, but that the universe will be resurrected, and every living soul will be resurrected to face God (Omega Point), and live eternally.

The theory is explained, and proven in his book, "The Physics of Immortality." Tipler uses Math and Physics to prove the theory, and he also makes the comparison by using a cone placed upside down, showing the universe, the earth and its inhabitants, residing at the bottom, or large base of the cone, and God sitting at the top or uppermost point of the cone, which he calls "The Omega Point."

The book is a hard read for someone lacking a science background, but Tipler has finally made a connection between Science and Creation, and proves his theory with Math and Physics.

Mine is not a proven theory, but I feel there is a connection with Einstein's Theory E = mc2. God exists as:

The Trinity (three separate or distinct entities under one Godhead).

E = Energy (God) Father

m = mass (Jesus Christ) Son

c = Speed of Light (Holy Spirit) Mother

End of quote.

----------------------

Can we prove that God exists? This is the question.

Thanks to the answer of T. Latham at Hub pages today I am going to write this special hub, I am saying a special hub just because it is outside my existing religious writings, which I am publishing as I write them, so this hub will not fit as a continuity of my published writings, but anyhow it deals with the same subject, therefore in a way it can stand side by side.

Having said where this hub stands; now I have to say why I am writing it; it is because I believe that God may well be as Dr. Frank J. Tipler describe, just like in my half written theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe, which one day I am going to finish and publish on the net, my God is somehow similar to Dr. Frank J Tipler.

You may ask why I do not finish it and publish it now? Well, I have to tell you that one of the reasons why I cannot finish my theory of Reconciliation of the Universe is that I have first of all convince religious people that the present nowadays religions need to be modified, so I have to go the long and hard way about it, until I believe that I have said enough to convince people that something needs to be done, and then I will start doing it, by finishing to write Reconciliation of the universe and publishing it.

Modifying existing religions sounds like troubles, as it sounds like as it is the beginning of the end of the existing religious system; in fact it sounds like the first trumpet in the Bible Revelations; now, whether my religious writings are going to be the forerunner of the first trumpet I do not know, the only thing I know is that I feel from within my soul that I have to write my religious writing, and if I don’t write them my life has not been worth living; therefore I have to try hard to find the right things to write and then write them.

My theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe is going to be written in very simple English, just because I do not know any better, sometimes I think that perhaps it is the will of God that an unlearned person like myself feels the need to write these God things. Then I think that perhaps God wants an unlearned person to write religious things, because God wants all sorts of people to understand what is going to be written in the coming new system; God wants that because everybody can understand what is being said and also because it would be easy to translate in a new language. As we all know some minor world languages are very simple, so there is the need for a simple written religious book, which would be easily translated in those simple languages.

What Dr. Frank J Tipler and other learned writers are writing could be just great for all those learned people that are able to understand them; but for the simple people perhaps my theory could be better, as it is easier for simple minded people to understand. Perhaps this is God's will, and I have to write my own religious writings, So, I am going to start with my own theory of God exists at least by definition.

May God bless us and guide us to understand his will.

See you soon in our next hub called, Spiritual circumstances
