If the Bible is correct...
That would mean that there is something alive and conscious around us at all times that is undetectable by us.What if the Bible is in fact true?
Prayers are heard and pondered by this invisible life force and then determined if they shall be answered or not.
Our every move and thoughts being recorded and will be used for our judgement.
"God" as he/she/it is called knows all, including our future.
Can billions of people over thousands of years be that gullible into believing something that is in fact not real? ...seems hardly possible.
Has modern society forgotten about this being/force and will we be reminded?
Actually, I do not know for a fact...but there are times that it seems like in fact prayers are answered....etc...

The Bible is true.
I often have prayers answered not always in the time that I want them but the answer always comes.
All that we have done is recorded in our own brain like the hard drive in a computer.
If a person wants to believe but has trouble doing so, tell God this and ask Him to help you with your unbelieve........
I have had one very memorable experience in my life when I was instructed to ask God for the answer. Keeping an open mind in my life, as I try to do with many situations, I did indeed ask God for the answer. That night, the answer did come very vividly in my sleep/dream. I was very convinced that it did indeed come from God.
Also, it also appears to me that I have had some of my prayers answered as well. I wonder if everyone "deserves" to have their prayers answers...or is it just some people who "deserve" it....or is it just a random event that it seems like the prayer was answered.
For this story of this God-figure to exist for so long, one has to think that there has to be a reason for that. The stories of early Catholic religion does allude to the fact that people may not have had a choice to incorporate into their lives without some sort of punishment from the rulers of countries. Is that what made this belief exist and spread so widely?
I think questioning religion does not mean one does not believe...however just the opposite, it could bring more on board to the idea of believing...especially if there is some "meat" behind the claims.

There was interview I recently seen, I forget who exactly it was...I seem to be watching many these days, but he pointed out that consciousness/thoughts were infinite.
Now, I might be going on a bit of a tangent here...but just my thoughts about the infinite consciousness. We humans can discuss consciousness because first, we recognize consciousness exist....and secondly, we have been able to label consciousness. If none of those two events have not happen, we humans would not have the capacity to discuss the topic of consciousness. You mention it is a universal consciousness, as I am sure that is what many scientist/philosophers describe consciousness as. However, if consciousness is infinite, meaning that it is boundless in its scope/size and nature...how much do we humans really know about it?
I would like to know, where does this consciousness come from. Is there some entity(s) that have control over it? Is it like a frequency/radio wave where only some humans are targeted by certain portions of it...and if so, why? It is proven that our brains work off of electricity and it is already proven that even outside of our heads, energy waves are emitted and can be monitored. Are our brains transponders...we can send electrical messages and receive them too? Is that how consciousness works?
If that is how consciousness works, why does it work that way? Are their entity(s)/God who has access to this messaging system...and then therefore provides for the individual?
I think us humans are still in the process of learning about this infinite and complex concept we call consciousness. I also think that the form of religion(s) are an ancient invention...if you will...and I think it is important that we also keep in mind the possibility of the human race, during those early days, may have actually been "closer" to the spiritually of this energy force than we are now today. Perhaps, this closeness, is what helped form this religion...or as you mention, control through fear 1000's of years old belief mechanism.
....kind of some random thoughts here. :)
I am not an expert in the entertainment industry, but I believe that it has to be based off of what people have the ability to relate to. Certain genres of music cater to the loving nature of people, while other genres targets an audience that can relate to...oh I don't know...but lets say chaos. The entertainment industry is a play on human nature/emotions/beliefs/thoughts....the wider their scope, the more fans they develop.
So, it would make sense that they would use one's religion or non-religion for that matter, to target for a fan base. There are many out in the world with those two sort of self-identification characteristics. Successfully latch on to those self-identification characteristics, and the $$$ will follow.
Will we get to heaven just by believing it though,
or do we have to do something as well?
It was written by numerous people, according to THEIR perception, at the time.
It's now interpreted by present day perceptions.

Those who believe in heaven, that's where they'll end up, according to their perception.
But, first, we must define "heaven"?
If it's a move to another dimension/frequency/density, then we need to travel light. (No baggage, nor beliefs!)

Since we're all energy and the universe abounds with energy, we're a product of it, or an integral part of it.
Now, is the universe conscious?
Some people are either more receptive to receiving messages, or are particularly targeted.
keep in mind that the first four books of the new testament will seem repetitious at times should you read the bible. Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John were all very close to Jesus as some of his disciples. they are similar, sometimes the same, because they are the perceptions according to each one. they are there because four people give pretty much the same account of many things. the Synoptic Gospels. the standard bible today is about 93% or better, accurate with the dead sea scrolls.
it's up to each individual what to believe or not. the material is available to most. if judgement day is a worry to any one pondering, i don't think,"i didn't know" is going to work too well.
ehmmm... I will not here try to say you or anybody should do things I myself can not do... lol
That would be hippo-kritikkal. If we are lucky God can look through the fingers on a few things.
Me still thinks deep down we should do more, or the gates might be slammed in our faces at the moment of truth. It ain't like winning the lottery, it's better odds than that, but then again are we giving it our all?
Anyways, take this from me: there is no burning hell.
But if you don't get eternal life, you will be eternally dead. Which is not so fun.
You might not know it
but you writing this is inspirational to someone like me,
who is halfly on the fence.
So I'm saying thank you for this simplistic straight forward blog.

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;
If we had no Bible but only one scripture it would be enough.
For God so loved the world, you, that He gave His only begotten son.
That whosoever believes in Him, will have everlasting life.
There again, it's a man made belief to instill fear into people.

We all know very well what it is, unless you want to blur even that concept up.
God exists, at least we can hope so. He was nice enough to fill in the blanks
by sending his son over to give as a sofware update in year 0.
All we need to do is accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior............
One of the reasons some people have a problem believing is because it all seems so easy.
Some say well if the prize has been paid in full we can now sin all we want?
If you are a believer and you willingly sin, you will first find out that your relationship with the Lord is not as
good the way it was before...........You avoid Him
Your prayers are no longer answered, yes there are always consequences.
If you love the Lord you won't like this, and seek to restore your relationship with Him............

the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, You would walk with me all the way; But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious child. I love you, and I would never, ever leave you during
your sufferings....
when you seen just one set
of foot prints.... it was then
.. that... i carried you...
that is.... Jesus.
Great examples...especially with a blackhole and our human understanding of it. I think you are on to something...something truly not comprehensible by humans, however I think something in ancients times was much more closer or much more known to society back then, than it is today....and the faith in this is becoming more and more lost.
Speaking of an act of God, my brother's house was hit be a tornado not too long ago and he is currently trapped in his car. There are power lines down all over the place by him. Thankfully he is not injured, but I need to be available for his assistance.
...and I truly mean it about an act of God...it is something to perhaps ponder in the great scheme of things in life.
Anyway, the main thing that stood out to me in your post is that the Bible is about 93% accurate. Though that is a large majority of the Bible being accurate....however, I cannot stop thinking about how much the critical meaning of something said in the book would change if even one word was not accurate.
Thanks for sharing...anticipate viewing the link shortly.
I just suspect as time went on....well...it has always be said or speculated that the ancients were closer and more in tune with nature than we are today. Perhaps, like D4 (Daniel) points out, maybe they were more receptive/intuitive to God's/Nature's message.
Anyway, I think today we are moving away from whatever that may be.
...but yet, there might be outright signs of God/It today that we just take for granted and don't fully understand the significance.
I do agree...I think many today do overlook the signs/voice of God....or this might be controversial a bit...but maybe of Gods plural.
As for your next comment, It seems a little to me...and I say this because sometimes it is difficult to tell who is really a good person and who is really a bad person. But some people that I believe are good in nature, seem to have good things happen to them....and likewise with people who seem to be bad in nature have bad things happen. Just a very limited observation of mine.
People are waking up and moving away from religions.
I can see it here, all around me.
They're waking up to whom they really are...
Spiritual beings having an experience, here on earth, in a physical body.
We come here to experience emotions in a duality world.
And the world being full of chaos, we have many opportunities to express our emotions, good or bad!
Some of us have had many lives before coming here, while others are having only one life.
All our lives - past, present and future - are all happening simultaneously.
There is no such thing as sin!;! All man made to give people fear of punishment, judgement and hell.
"The whole world is a stage, and we're just actors on a stage"
How true!
Shakespeare had insights when he said that!
This world is a computer simulation, and we are the players.
Come on folks, open your eyes, and look around....use logic....seek and you shall find!
Johnny you can PM me?
So being a "baby Christian" One evening I sat with my back against a wall and said; "Lord I am not leaving here until You show me that I am now your child"
Several hours went by and then I saw a large lake and many people sitting there all dressed in white.
And then? I saw myself among all the others..........God had given me my answer.
John if you are sincere you can also ask like; "Lord help me with my unbelief"
Or whatever question you have and need an answer for...................
What a beautiful story displaying the presence of a being/energy that is among us at all times....as the Bible eludes to.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share that with us.
I cannot disagree with you because I really do not know. However, being raised in the Catholic religion...and still a Catholic, I have to ask myself...is there room for God to exist in the world you describe? And I think...that is possible.
I have to ask you D4, if you do not mind. Is there room for prayers to be answered in your perception of life, or would you just consider it a coincidence?
I am a believer in that...asking the Lord for assistance. That is a great story your shared too. That is the reason I asked D4 about prayers being in her interpretation of the world we live in. Because, I am a firm believer that prayers are indeed answered....are at minimum...seem to be answered.
Is it not mind blowing that the great I Am, wants you to talk to Him?
Yes, you have a right as the child of God to have your prayers answered.
"You have not because you asked not" so ask...............Johnny.......
Maybe it was Noah's dog all along that was the architect of the ship.
As the ole saying goes, "You can make a horse drink, but you can't lead him to water." or something like that.
As for Believers and Non-Believers in anything, the ole saying goes,
To the Believer, no proof is needed.
To the Skeptic, any proof is never enough
As the ole saying goes, "You can make a horse drink, but you can't lead him to water." or something like that.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink
you are closer to it than further from.
In my books, praying doesn't leave you open to be preyed on and if the bible is correct, God gave us commandments to live by and not sins, to avoid.
I think people get confused between the word of God and what the Bible says vs. religion and the church.
One is from the Supreme Being (the Bible).
The other is from humans (religion and church).
Sure...religion and church are suppose to teach what the Bible says, but when religion and the church become the most wealthiest entity on the globe, humans running that entity are subject to human natural forces of greed. That does not make the Bible wrong, it just means the people teaching it have failed to yield its message.
