Who is Lord of Your Life?

AND THAT IS WHY HE SAID
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus!

Although we are all forced to accept living and existing in and under many imbalanced man made hierachal control systems..I choose to bow down to no fake or delusional elitist and corrupt political, social or religious doctrine or any order concept that requires the fake notion and concept that requires any artificial or individuaL puppet leaders or rulers.

I prefer to face reality and therefore understand and accept that the universe and everything inside it (especially humanity) is naturally bipolar, conflicting and unstable,.

While I appreciate you (and many others) might not want to follow this process..as facing reality is often very difficult and complex ..but I have come to this conclusion having explored the world and lived in many different (supposedly advanced and developing countries..which has not real meaning in reality either). The reality is most people are deluded and supressed, compromised, controlled and artificially polarised (with an obsessive desire to what to believe they are somehow important..when in reality we are no more relevant than any other organism within an infinite universe).

I don't mind this reality..until peopl get offended with me for being honest, or try to think their bullshit means anything to me except simple amusement and bemusement.

I have visit different religious institutions and read all their conflicting texts and doctrines than have never ever actually been either the words of, or written by any of their gods and messiahs...but men.

Therefore personally they all are corrupt and delusional based on trying to polarise our bipolar reality...Not that is matters.

But if you are seeking truth..religions or any form of hierarchal slavery are the very last place to actually look.

"Who is Lord of Your Life?"

The One Infinite Creator!

I'm letting my Self be His instrument down here.

In the first edition of the 1611 bible, the name Jesus was spelt beginning with an "I". By the second edition in 1670 or so, the name changed to begin with a "J" after the letter was introduced to the English language.

Had J not been introduced would you be calling him jesus? Is it ok if I start calling jesus Xesus, Zesus or Gesus? I know what you are thinking now... "Why would I do that?"

These are some of the questions you should be asking yourself that who authorised these changes? Had J not been introduced, would you be calling him Ieousus?

Or, does it not matter?

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The facts are:

There are over 430 contradictions in the Bible.
[link to www.project-reason.org]

Because the bible is so confusing, so inaccurate both scientifically and historically there are over 32,000 different sects of Christianity all with their own different views of what the Bible means. Many that blame other sects for being totally wrong ie... Catholics VS Protestants.

[link to www.bringyou.to]

The Bible was written by men over 2,000 years ago who had no idea of science and perpetuated superstition and beliefs based on speculative imagination and fantasy. Many of the stories in the bible read like a drug induced fantasy and drug use in early mysticism was rampant in that age.

[link to www.slideshare.net]

There are over 19 major religions in the world, many of which fractional branch like Christianity and Islam into 32,000 denominations of confusion.

Man started this whole descent into madness 300,000 years ago when first archeological evidence showed the start of "religious" practices and beliefs.

Before religion there was probably no need for salvation as it simply is a belief. If this was such a criteria for Man then you think right form the get-go God would have had a salvation guide for every Human culture on the planet, not a select privilege few.

Religion contradicts itself, it is proven historically inaccurate time and time again, as well as holds no shed of evidence except using religious text to prove facts.

Modern day science easily debunks and dismisses much of the wishy-washy fantasies found in religious beliefs.

At the end of the day, you may as well believe in Santa god and the Jesus bunny because they are just as valid a belief-system as any other belief man adopts and perpetuates as fact.

To my knowledge, I don't have a lord in my life. My life is governed by fate, and the choices I make. I am but a minuscule blip in an infinite universe who is of no consequence in the grand scheme of things.

When you say Lord... what do you mean?

When you say GOD... how do you define it...

We can have a converstion when we can COMMUNICATE about the same thing not before.

^Why do you make this assumption^?





?

Science is Lord of all that is factual.

Sorry, I forgot....Cattle, sheep and birds fight wars.

^this^ No room for superstition in reality.

"When you realize why you call Zeus a Myth, you'll understand why I don't believe in your god" (my favorite owned tshirt)

The Lord of my Life is a God of Unconditional Love who enjoys throwing souls into eternal torment because they made some mistakes. Yep, no conflict here.

I was in one of OPs threads earlier exploring some things, and expressing my belief in the power of prayer (or whatever you want to call it), because I think that positivity and focus and intent on a specific group or person or animal or object for that matter can produce measurable results. So far in my life I haven't used Jesus as a mode of transferring that energy and power, as I have a hard time swallowing that pill. But who knows. This quote basically sums up why I have so much trouble spiritually buying into Jesus, and the christian perspective of god. I consider myself agnostic, but quite spiritual for reasons unknown to me yet.


"Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it, religion has actually convinced people that there's an INVISIBLE MAN...LIVING IN THE SKY...who watches every thing you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten special things that he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever 'til the end of time...but he loves you."
[George Carlin, from "You Are All Diseased"]

Perhaps you also forgot this part:

Revelation 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Lord = controller of your reality and destiny.

Do you trust your Creator, or do you trust man? Look around you. Why would you trust man?



God = controller of ALL REALITY. God is Absolute Truth. God is Love.

Allow God to have control of your conscious reality. Let go and let God.

-I want you to know, when it comes to believing in god- I really tried. I really really tried. I tried to believe that there is a god who created each one of us in his own image and likeness, loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize...something is FUCKED-UP. Something is WRONG here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is NOT good work. If this is the best god can do, I am NOT impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful-ass a long time ago.

-Trillions and trillions of prayers every day asking and begging and pleading for favors. 'Do this' 'Gimme that' 'I want a new car' 'I want a better job'. And most of this praying takes place on Sunday. And I say fine, pray for anything you want. Pray for anything. But...what about the divine plan? Remember that? The divine plan. Long time ago god made a divine plan. Gave it a lot of thought. Decided it was a good plan. Put it into practice. And for billion and billions of years the divine plan has been doing just fine. Now you come along and pray for something. Well, suppose the thing you want isn't in god's divine plan. What do you want him to do? Change his plan? Just for you? Doesn't it seem a little arrogant? It's a divine plan. What's the use of being god if every run-down schmuck with a two dollar prayer book can come along and fuck up your plan? And here's something else, another problem you might have; suppose your prayers aren't answered. What do you say? 'Well it's god's will. God's will be done.' Fine, but if it gods will and he's going to do whatever he wants to anyway; why the fuck bother praying in the first place? Seems like a big waste of time to me. Couldn't you just skip the praying part and get right to his will?

-I noticed that of all the prayers I used to offer to god, and all the prayers that I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answer at about the same 50% rate. Half the time I get what I want. Half the time I don't. Same as god 50/50. Same as the four leaf clover, the horse shoe, the rabbit's foot, and the wishing well. Same as the mojo man. Same as the voodoo lady who tells your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles. It's all the same; 50/50. So just pick your superstitions, sit back, make a wish and enjoy yourself. And for those of you that look to the Bible for it's literary qualities and moral lessons; I got a couple other stories I might like to recommend for you. You might enjoy The Three Little Pigs. That's a good one. It has a nice happy ending. Then there's Little Red Riding Hood. Although it does have that one x-rated part where the Big-Bad-Wolf actually eats the grandmother. Which I didn't care for, by the way. And finally, I've always drawn a great deal of moral comfort from Humpty Dumpty. The part I liked best: ...and all the king's horses, and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again. That's because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no god. None. Not one. Never was. No god.

-I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate.

-We created god in our own image and likeness!

Disclaimer: He could be wrong. I love George Carlin. I am not an atheist. I do not know what is truth. Just seeking.

The Multiverse aka "God"

needs to be reposted

I certainly don't trust man, but I also don't trust the christian god character. There's gotta be a better option.

JESUS CHRIST
LORD of LORDS
KING of KINGS
SAVIOR
COMFORTOR
THE LAMB that was slain for my sins

The holy creator and the God OF abraham isaac and jacob and his son the beneficent savior Y'shayah ARE THE REAL THING..

And I fully understand your term "CHRISTIAN GOD CHARACTER" which is a redesign and a false representation of the true Creator.This is the God most christians are worshipping today.

So I feel where you with this and I agree

Hi Kaylee...
good to see you on this thread also!!

think about this......there is only ONE TRUTH of who is the maker of our souls. People make up their 'own' truth to satisfy their own beliefs....however, they are false.

If you think it through carefully.....you will have to agree that there is only ONE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.

JESUS claimed to be the WAY to that CREATOR...that no man can reach HIM because of their sin. That is why JESUS died for our sin....so through JESUS, we now have access to the FATHER, CREATOR OF ALL.

So, JESUS was either telling the TRUTH or HE was lying. HE either is the SON of GOD or HE isn't. It is now up to you to decide.

At some point, when confronted with the TRUTH about JESUS, we either accept it or walk away and refuse it. HE gives us a free will to do either.

Consider this carefully, because your life depends on it. As it does for all people when confronted with the TRUTH of JESUS.

Remember that there is a way that seem right to man....but its end is death.

Also, HIS ways are not our ways...

Peace!!

Thank you for watering the seed

There are no facts in religion. We don't have 32,000 denominations of what's an apple and an orange.

Why, because facts are facts. The truth can be tested and proven. Religion can't stand up to the test of reason, logic and science because it's based on myth, fantasy and the Santa Clause effect.

What is the Santa Clause effect you might ask? It's a proven fact that children can believe what they are told unquestioning the authority of their parents.

Religion is a scaled up play on children believing in Santa Clause but in this case it's the Santa God and the Jesus Bunny.

It's a shame that these outdated systems of social control have lasted thousands of years. It shows that people still to this day cannot accept reason over belief. Facts over fantasy.

Sad really, we are far superior to people of that age both scientifically and socially... yet dogmatic religions still prevail because sadly people suffer from the Santa Clause effect and just can't grow up.

There is a prime source...

There are galaxy game creators of this milky way, and other galaxies have their galaxy game creators...

in the galaxy, there are many so-called gods (don't like the term, but, it is what every one relates to)... They are engaged in this galaxy for experiential learning, players...

They animate your body, and have or are animating many other bodies...

The leaders of re-legion are players, ancient players who have been involved in this game for many thousands, if not millions of years...

They are locked into an experiential loop of trying to control everyone else... They are experienced and very clever at what they do...

But, they are posers, none the less... Those who have advanced spiritually, understand far more about the nature of the game, and can see through the shenanigans...

My Lord isn't a person, but an idea/concept:
