There have always been some who perceived God more clearly than others. Men like Abraham, who received a large measure of prophetic inspiration, called their fellow-men together and led them by training and instruction to the truth which they had perceived. The prophets before and after Moses taught their fellow-men in the manner of preachers, teachers, and pedagogues. But only Moses used phrases such, "And God said to me, Speak to certain people so and so."Actually religion is just a tool. The average man needs to be instructed that there is one God, that He has created everything that exists beside Him, and that neither the constellations nor anything in the air ought to be worshiped.The sole object of all the trials mentioned in Scripture is to teach man what he ought to do or believe; so that the event which forms the actual trial is not the end desired, but an example for our instruction and guidance.Please show me a passage in the Bible that is evil.Of course there are disgusting and evil passages in the Bible.I don't double speak.The sole object of all the trials mentioned in Scripture is to teach man what he ought to do or believe; so that the event which forms the actual trial is not the end desired, but an example for our instruction and guidance.
have you ever thought to wake it up the christian bible to bring it to a living state worth mentioning as a religious document and not as a disguised political agenda it presently represents ... the messiah has to save you from yourself - really, you are that superstitious.
the other two desert religions the same, awaken from being dead.
Christianity teaches that we can change our minds. The Greek word for repent is "metanoia." Metanoia means to change your mind. Our thoughts, the flow of consciousness which determines our behaviors, can change. Metanoia has to do with moral activity, but goes beyond that. Jesus was teaching that we could change our mind about how we treat people. We don’t have to be unforgiving and cynical. We can change our mind about being negative. We can think positive thoughts and walk in faith instead of doubt. We can change our minds about sin. Rather than being caught in the strongholds of consistent habits of lust or selfishness, for example, we can experience freedom and selflessness. Jesus would not have told us to change unless it was possible and attainable. The Bible is full of words that speak about change. Repentance, metamorphosis, transformation, conversion, resurrection, rebirth, renewal, regeneration, healing and transfiguration.
We have chosen the better portion. You can't take it from us. The truth will always defeat you..Actually religion is just a tool.

.The average man needs to be instructed that there is one God ...

Flora knows the prescribed religion by heart and so also all beings for at least a moment in their lives whatever their resolve might be.
the book of forgeries and fallacies has ruined your mind, bing - whatever may have been left of it when you decided to start reading it ... if what you claim can not be found in Garden Earth, throw it away.
The average man needs to be instructed that there is one God, that He has created everything that exists beside Him, and that neither the constellations nor anything in the air ought to be worshiped.
You worldview of do no evil as the only instruction given is less than worthless because it does not even attempt to discuss the complexities inherent in experiencing life as a being who knows and creates and has free will to do good or not to do good.
