About Bible reviews
-
When we would like to understand something that is difficult, we may have to ask questions to other people, at the same time we should ask ourselves and think hard what these issues might mean, it is only natural to do so and we should compare them. So, let us talk about the Bible and review its meanings, since we think that this needs to be done. 

The Bible is the most read book in the world, it is believed to be God's inspired and therefore God's word, but then it might be only partly God's inspired and not all God's word, because the rest would be man made. So, let us study the Bible and review its meanings, because we believe that this is necessary to do.  


About Bible reviews
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our previous post, Bible understanding is necessary, where we ended up saying that we need to review the Bible and give our own interpretation, so let us see how we can do that without upsetting our religious friends.
We have to say that one of the oldest and most read book in the world is the Bible, but it is one of the most difficult books to understand properly, because it can mean different things to different people. But our religious leaders have thought us that we have to believe what they say, because, as believers we are supposed to believe everything it says even when it does not make sense to our logic human reasoning, because it is the word of God: So when we require some explanation our religious leaders will explain it the way they see it and there is no other way about it, in other words we should believe whatever they say, which happens to be the way they have been told to believe from their previous leaders whether it is right or wrong.
Here we have to say that some of us have reasons to believe that they might be making a big mistake, because they do not allow us to discuss those religious issues openly; they also do not see that scriber of those days had to write in such a way, in order to control the people and that was the main reason why the Bible was written, the way it has been written; it is for these same reasons that the Bible starts in a very strong way and does not give the readers any chance even to ask anyone, if what is written there can be right or not; as it starts very strong like this:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. For a believer this means that God is so powerful that can create everything he wants. But the question is here, can God really create everything at all from nothing, or is there another reason why the Bible has been started like that? If that is the case, and the way that has been written it is, then the Bible is not exactly correct. So what the people have believed till today is; it is so just because it has been written in the Bible?
Therefore, nowadays because we are more advanced and we can read between the lines these doubtful descriptions, there are some people that do not believe in God anymore, as they can see easily that there are a lot of things that don’t add up correctly, so, they say that God is only a myth and it is all an invention of our human mind; I know that this might sound strange but this is how the world starts to see religious beliefs today, you see nowadays people want things explained clearly.
To tell you the truth, at this point of time, what worries me most is the fact that most of the non-believers (atheists) are learned people; these learned people are able to talk very easily and state their views clearly, so the poor religious believers who usually are less educated are in a disadvantaged position.
Because of this situation, the best way for us to prevent it happening, is that we need to read the Bible many times and if or when we find something that does not seem right, if necessary we should review the meanings of the Bible, because we might find a way that may explain why there is so much difference in our beliefs. Perhaps we might have to change our own religious views, in order to come close to the other people views. This is too great a task to explain easily, so we suggest that we break it up in small articles, as this might be easier to understand. Now, since in last few chapters before this we were talking about curses and curses that happen also in the Bible, let us try to make sense to that first subject and what is written in the Bible about curses, since one of these article is written almost at the very beginning of the Bible.

About Bible curse

Since we have been talking about curses in these religious writings, it would be better for us to say what we have in mind to try, in order to overcome this obstacle. First of all, we are going to talk to our religious friends in the hope that they would help to find the right way, or at least see what they think about these curses.
Here we can already hear the unbelievers (atheists) say that there are no such things as curses, so what we are saying is all the fault of our imagination. But, as you know even the Bible is full of curses, in fact we find the first curse at the very beginning of the Bible when God curses the serpent, Genesis 3, 14-15, and I quote;
*Be accursed beyond all cattle, all wild beasts.
You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust every day of your life.
I will make you enemies of each other:
You and the woman,
Your offspring and her offspring
It will crush your head
And you will strike the hill.

Then to the woman God said, Genesis 3-16
I will multiply your pain in child bearing,
You shall give birth to your children in pain.
Your yearning shall be for your husband,
Yet he will lord it over you.

Then to Adam Genesis 3-17
Accursed be the soil because of you.
With suffering shall you get your food from it every day of your life
It shall yield you brambles and thistles, and you shall eat wild plants.
With sweat on your brow, shall you eat your bread.
Until you return to the soil, as you were taken from it.
For dust you are; and to dust you shall return.
Yahweh (God) was right to be very angry with them; So He cursed them, and this is the very first curse in the Bible, and it came from God.
So, as you can see curses are in the Bible from the very beginning and last curse is at the very end, which sounds like forbidding anybody to change anything said in the Bible.
Now what can be done to avoid the curses, one may ask?
Well at this moment we do not know yet, but we are working on it and we shall see what our friends might suggest. So, we will be discussing curses presently and looking at any possible way to neutralize them. Perhaps a prayer to God-Most-High, master and life giver of the universe might be the answer, so, let me try to write one prayer just for this purpose, or perhaps find one that I have already half written and adjust it to fit my purpose. Then I will ask our friends what they think about this prayer and everything else that we are saying here.
--------------------------------------

Praying God to shield us from curses

PRAYING GOD MOST HIGH TO SHIELD US FROM CURSES
These are my personal prayers:
Almighty and merciful Father we pray you to help and protect us from curses, and so, we pray you thus:
In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, to you we turn God-Most-High master and life giver of the entire universe, we are praying you with all our hearts our souls and our minds; we are praying you Almighty Father hoping that in your mercy you would forgive us all our life sins, and that you would make us spiritually clean of any impurities that may affect our soul, and thus we would become worthy in your eyes to pray and be heard, and then pray to you and ask for help, while we serve as your humble servants.
Father this time we pray you to help us, because we believe that there might be people who would curse us, just because we do not agree with them, Father shied us from these curses and return those curses on whoever started those curses for no good reasons.
Father, hear our prayers and shield us from those curses! Amen.
--------------------------
I as the writer of these religious writings and prayer, I am praying herewith our Father with all my heart my soul and my mind and I am praying to be allowed to write these religious writings in God’s name.
Almighty Father I am praying you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who once lived with us here on earth and knows our human misery, our fears and our pains; here I am praying in fear of the unknown, since what we are writing here is not yet known and it might bring down unknown risks to us. Father I am praying you to shield me from any danger that may arise from these religious writings, whether they are in the form of real physical threats or curses, whether those curses are new or were existing curses.
Almighty Father I am praying you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ to shield me from those curse and forces of evil, since the forces of evil may want to harm me just because I am writing these religious writings and also for other unknown reasons.
My Lord God, Almighty and Merciful Father I am praying you with all my heart my soul and my mind, I am praying you to make good any injustice that I or my family may have received, whether these injustices have been caused from curses or from the forces of evil wanting to upset me and my family. I pray you Father to just give us back what should have been rightfully ours, whether these injustices have been to property or to individual health. I pray you Father to set everything right again, the way it should have been according to your magnificent and benevolent will, so that, the forces of evil should not prevail, and they should not be able to take advantage of me my family and your righteous system. Father, hear my prayer and help us! Amen.
---------------------------------
We wish and hope that the prayers that we have written above are good enough and God would shield us from all curses and the forces of evil and at the same time God would help me to write these religious writings.
I have talked to our religious friends and explained to them about the prayers that I have written above, but they cannot make up their minds, because even for them this seem a complex issue, so, they have said to me that perhaps I should publish them, and see what happens, it is the only way to know what the public thinks about curses and also our prayers.
So, here we are publishing these religious prayers asking God to protect us from them; and then let us see what the public might be going to say, if they would like to say something about these curses and other religious matters.
And finally I really hope that I have not gone too far from the acceptable religious ways that God and the public could and would accept easily. Now that we have written about the curses and also prayed God, I hope we have done enough about the curses; so I would like to talk about something else in our next article, because we the people of this world have this problem to solve, since we have two identities, one is our body and the other one is the soul, so when we speak of ourselves sometimes we don’t know which identity is more dominant, so in our next article we will talk about our soul. 
I think that I have said enough in this article, so, let me say; See you next time with our next article: What my soul is telling me
May God protect and guide us all the right way?
May God bless us all?

Bible understanding necessary

-
When we find ourselves in a place that we are not sure what to do, or we would like to understand something that is difficult to understand, we may have to ask questions to other people, at the same time we should ask ourselves and think hard what these issues might mean, it is only natural to do so and we should compare them, not only with what other people may say, we have also to compare it with our own human understanding.


The Bible is the most read book in the entire world, it is believed to be God's inspired and therefore God's word, but then it might be only partly God's inspired and not all of it God's word, because there are reasons to believe that the most of the Bible would be man made, even if God really inspired some of the main writers of the Bible.




Bible understanding necessary

A STUDY OF RELIGIONS AND WHY HUMANITY NEEDS RELIGIONS
May God guide me to say the right religious things in our religious articles?

Understanding what is happening

Dear readers, this post could be said that it is the continuation of our previous religious posts, where we have had talks with our religious friends several times, the outcome of these talks was to point out many religious issues; one of which was that understanding the Bible is necessary. In a way these articles that we are writing here are religious studies; now when we talk about religious studies, we don’t mean that we should understand the Bible the way that most people do today, because we believe that they are somehow missing something very important, so we are going to study the Bible and have our own conclusion. So let us see what is happening in the world today and together with our study have our own conclusion.
We have to admit that understanding what is happening today is necessary, because we have reasons to believe that today religions seem to be less attractive to the public than they were in the past, we know that there are many reasons why this is happening, some of which can be explained easily, some other reasons may be a bit harder to explain; however there is this need to know and above all explain to ourselves why this is happening, therefore, it would be a good thing if we look for those reasons that affect today religions.
In order to do something positive for all humanity, we need to discuss this religious situation openly; we need to do this with an open mind and there should not be anything left behind, everything should be looked at very closely, even those things that seem at first sight that they could never be wrong need to be looked at closely, just to see if there could be another meaning to our interpretation of religious books that we have been using and we use even today, perhaps a complete review of our religious beliefs is necessary and this is what we intend to start in our religious study here, therefore in this article we will start with these views in our mind.
In order to do that let us start with what sort of issues we need to talk about in this article: in this article we will be talking about: Understanding what is happening; then, Bible reviews are now necessary; Bible reviews about bible curses; and Praying God to shield us from curses. But let us first put our readers at ease with this paragraph that we have written for our reader’s peace of mind:
To anyone who is a believer and believes in God and other religious beliefs, please read our Prayers for Reconciliation and Reconciliation of the Universe religious 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, in the hope that one day they would not be able to fight each other any longer about religious issues. Reconciliation of the Universe is the theory that might be able to achieve just that.
For this reason, I am praying God to guide and help me say the right things in these religious writings.
Almighty and merciful Father, hear my prayer and help me, amen.
Now let us see what we would like to do or achieve;
---------------------------------------------------
THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE
We will have to set the stage for the entire world to see.
And whoever will read these writings might have to agree,
That here we are trying to find a way to God for all humanity;
In order to stay in touch with God-life-force for eternity
And therefore, I am praying God to guide and help me.
Almighty Father I pray you with all my heart my soul and my mind earnestly, in the hope that you would guide and help me; Father hear my prayer, amen.
-------------------------------------
Bible reviews are necessary
Today Bible reviews are necessary
Looking at what is happening in the world of religions today, especially if we look at the Roman Catholic order and also all other religions that come from the Bible, one wonders what is wrong with religions today, as they seem less and less attractive to the people themselves; therefore some of these people start asking themselves, if the religion they are in is the right religion, for this reason they may change religion during their lives, or they may even leave religions all together and become atheists.
It is for these reasons above that we have already said many times in many ways; we have reasons to believe that we must find a way how to review the Bible and also other religious books, without offending religious people that belong to religions that have come from the Bible and other denominations, if we want the existing religious orders to work the way it is supposed to work. Of course how that could be done we do not know properly yet, but it needs to be done in the near future, in order to neutralize or make it less attractive for people to leave religions and become atheists; and there are also the extremists, which these days seem to be taking hold in the Muslim community and if they keep growing they will upset the present religious system of the world.
Perhaps we should abandon the views that the bible is laterally the word of God, as this does not help the situation and it does not make sense to the atheists in the first place, it also gives rise to extremism because some believers may easily make believe or may be led to believe that they are doing God’s will from their religious leaders; even though God has nothing to do with what they are doing in God’s name. Therefore, if we admit that the Bible is man-made, then it can be reviewed without causing any harm to the religious community at large.
So, let us start from this post that I am editing now which talks about Bible curses: You see what we are going to try here is to study the Bible closely and see what makes sense and what does not make sense, using our own logic human reasoning, and when we find that it is not exactly the way that it has been explained to us from our elders, then we should find why it does not; and when necessary we need to express our own meaning, so that a better interpretation would be available to the believers. Now let us start with, Bible reviews about Bible curses.
Anyhow to talk about bible reviews and Bible curses is going to be a long explanation and this post is becoming too long, so see you in our next post, where we are going to talk about Bible reviews.

Meeting with our religious friends

Meeting with our religious friends

-
We need to discuss and reconcile things, sometimes even those things that have been for a long time accepted from humanity need to be looked at and reconciled and that includes also religions, even if some of us don't like that idea.


In these religious articles, we usually discuss about the Bible, because the Bible is the original book for us who live in the western world, but there are other religions as well, which could be able to influence our religious issues that exist today. So, in reality we should learn all the main religions, and then discuss them all together, perhaps this might give us the right direction to follow.


Today, there are many places that invite you to study the Bible, which is a good thing to do; but one should be aware that these places are there to promote the Bible. So they are not there to solve all existing religious problems; our views are that to solve today religious problems, we humans should try to find our own new religious way.





Meeting with our religious friends

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our previous religious post, religious writing views, where we were about to have a meeting with our religious friends. Anyhow, the other day the meeting that I had organized took place. So, I have met our friends and talked about the religious subjects that we have been talking about in our previous post, here I have to say that on certain religious aspect they seem to go past my own ways of dealing with the situation, at least some of their speeches seemed to point that way, so, let us hear what Mark, one of my friends that usually like to put up his views had to say.
Mark speech in a nutshell,
If we want to find hidden meanings in the Bible and see why the Bible has been written the way it has been written, and also understand why we have been taught to understand the Bible the way we have been taught to understand it, then, we have really to start from the very beginning and use our logic reasoning minds to see if what we have been taught stands up to our logic human reasoning; therefore, if and when it does stand up to our logic human reasoning as we believed it could, we have to try to understand what were the reasons and why it was written like that, and then we can decide how to proceed.
So, let me tell you how I see these religious issues: In my opinion I feel that in those times when the bible was written the way the Bible was written, it would have made sense to the believer of those times; you see people have always needed religions and a God that could be able to protect them from what they themselves would not be able to protect themselves, so this God that was shown to be superior to the other existing gods of those times was needed and welcomed from the believers, after all the Israelite needed this God to free them from the Egyptian, so Moses their leader provided just that God when he went on Mount Sinai and met Yahweh (God) as a burning bush, from there we know the rest of the Jews story, the story that for thousands of years has gone on and has become the largest religion in the world; this religion was started with Moses on Mount Sinai, and now it has taken over most of the religious world.
Here I would like to point out that this religion has done a lot, and has guided lots of people in a meaningful way and it has lasted until today, I have said it has lasted until today because we don’t know what is going to happen in the future. Because as you all know today there are some people that do not need religions anymore, since time have changed and that feeling of danger from the unknown is not constantly present as it was in the past. So, some people like the atheists feel safe and feel that they can survive by themselves, so, they would like to see religions disappear, and who knows it might even happen in the far away future, we can never know.
Now let me say how I see religions today: Today we have to view religions in two different ways; the negative part of religion exists because some of the Muslim religions are becoming terrorists, these would be religious terrorist groups are a real threat to everybody including religions themselves, so we have to hope that somehow they will end soon, before something really bad happens on a large scale.
However, I have to say that my personal views are that most people still need religions just the way they are today, you see; we have always needed religions even if the atheists believe that we do not need them now? But, really how could we just let religions disappear? I believe that it could not and would never happen.
We need to look at today religious set up as a way of life that has been proven for centuries to work well with people; therefore, people could not and would not accept any religious changes easily. If we can work out what can be done to change some religious beliefs without upsetting the whole system, then maybe we would be able to move to the next religious system, which very likely is inevitable: I am saying it is inevitable because everything changes with time and also religions change; one has to look in the past to see that two thousand years ago people had different religions. I suppose I can say many other things about religions, but I suppose I have to let our other friends have a say if they so wish, so, that is all from me for the time being.
-----------

Our views and more speeches

When Mark stopped talking; I, Gino and another two of our friends that were interested in these religious talks said that we understood what he had said. But at the same time I and perhaps Gino thought that really there was a need to say more, in order to have some idea where we were going to go in a religious way. There and then we knew that Mark did not go far enough to say that we needed a sort of religious review. So, I became aware that Gino wanted to say something and asked Gino to say something himself, very well knowing that sometimes Gino is very crafty in his ideas.
Now before I write down what Gino had to say, I want to inform our readers that in this religious writings, we will try to keep speakers to a minimum, so, I, Mark and Gino will usually speak for all our friends that are interested in these religious talks, I believe that it could be easier for everybody to understand what is going on, instead of nominating many speakers.
Gino speech
I know that our friend Mark has said many wise things that make sense, but what he said stops short of giving us a solution about reviewing the Bible and any other religious books, indeed it is hard for any of us to find a solution for these religious problems, therefore I believe that a straight way cannot be found, so, we may have to find another way around that might not upset religious people and at the same time suggests something about what is happening, or what may be going to happen in the future to religions, because of these present situations about the atheists and also the extremist groups, as Mark has pointed out. So, the only thing that I can suggest is that we can indeed review the Bible interpretation, but we have to be very careful, and therefore make sure that everything is written in such a way that is all seen as a suggestion of the possible present situation. It needs to be written mostly in a conditional way with plenty of ifs and maybes, so that the readers can make their own minds up as they go along; we also need to remind the readers that what is being written are only suggestions, so only time will tell what is going to happen to religions in the future.
Well that is how I see this situation and what we might be able to do about it today; this is the main thing I wanted to say to you, now you can make up your own mind.
Gino stopped talking and we said, your idea sounds good perhaps we should indeed try to review the Bible and any other religious books soon, perhaps when we meet again. After that we started to have some other friendly talks that are not important to mention here.
I believe that we have said enough in this article, so, see you in our next post about, Bible reviews are necessary, after all we also want to study all sorts of religions, studying religions and how they work could be the only way that one day could provide a solution to these religious problems.
May God help us to understand this religious situation?
May God bless us all?

Religious writing views

WELCOME TO OUR 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.

Welcome to our blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and this post, Religious writing views

Religious writing views
-
When we write something for the first time, whether that article is religious or otherwise, we always feel the need to review that article, because we might not feel sure, if we have written it clear enough for our readers, so it seems to me that just about everything that needs to be said, it also needs to be viewed and also reviewed, so that we can reach a stage of clarity for our readers.
-

Religious writing views

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our previous post about, religious discussions, so, here we are going to write about other religious writing activities and views as we have said.
These religious articles are being written to describe a new way of religious beliefs, which could help to improve religious cooperation of the existing religions, it could also help by making religions more acceptable to the atheists as well; this could be achieved because we believe that God might be described in a different way to the God described in the Bible, and for this reason we have formulated a new sort of theory, therefore now we would like to find a way on how to describe this new living God, who could just be about anything that bears the life energy that makes life possible on earth. Therefore, now we are looking for ways how to explain what we have said; but above all we would like to take our readers step by step to see how we arrived at this conclusion, so this entire part two of Prayers and discussions has been written to show you how we arrived at this conclusion and the reasons why we are doing this.
Now, apart what we have written above, we have also written and republished or edited many others religious hubs, we have had some friendly discussions with our friends about religions, and from these discussions and other point of views we have come to the conclusion that to make sense in a modern way about religions, one should really start to review all existing religions and find if there are other hidden meanings, and also, why religious books have been written the way they have been written, and why religious leaders interpret religions the way they do?
 At this point of time this question arise; if religious leaders interpret religion the way they do today, is it just because their forbears have taught them to believe in religions this way? Or is it not? So, the main aim in reconciliation part two of this religious forum will be to review those religious beliefs and meanings, in the hope that we would come up with some explanations that would help us understand the religious situation better, and in doing so, perhaps we would be able to put forward those hidden meanings that we find wrong in religions today, we should be able to do that without being scared of changing the accepted meanings of today religions.
In order to do what we have just said above, we need to start from the very beginning with all sorts of religions. Now, in this case, because my friends and I are Roman Catholic and therefore this is the religion that we know most, we should be looking at the Bible and what it teaches us first of all, if we are going to be able to achieve anything at all, after all Christianity, the Roman Catholic and the Bible are the religions that the non-believer’s atheists attack most of the time, in the hope that they can prove that there is no God and therefore all religions are all human fantasy. We believe that because there is a large enough number of exaggerated interpretations of certain meanings in the Bible, the atheists are finding it easy to attack our religions, so, there is a need to change those interpretations, and in other words, we might need to modify religious interpretations in such a way that they become more acceptable to most of us, when we use common sense.
Having said that I start thinking what might be the most important issue that needs to be looked at, and suddenly it comes to my mind the first thing that the atheists attack religious people, is about creation, as atheists do not believe that God created anything as said in the Bible; they believe that whatever exists today has been created just from natural forces, so, God has nothing to do with creation, because God and its creation is all a human invention. Now I want to say that we are not able to prove to the atheists beyond any doubts that God exists, so the next best thing that we can do is to adjust religious meanings in such a way that they might partly make sense to the atheists as well, and therefore minimize their attacks on plain religious people, who believe strictly what is written in the Bible.
Having said that, what I would like to do next is that I would like to call on my religious friends and have a good talk about this religious subject, you know sometimes my friends have a very good understanding of the situation and their input is much appreciated, so let me organize a meeting, with the intention of talking about religions.
Anyhow I think that it would be easier to talk about this religious meeting with my religious friends, in our next post, meeting our religious friends, as this post is becoming too long; so, see you in our next post.
