But is learning and acquiring knowledge worship?

If you are learning and acquiring knowledge, it is a gift from God.

Right, that’s what I think too then

Because it’s no threat to your faith anyway

Only according to His statutes and commands.

well i need to step in and say that you can't worship a religion, but a religion is a set of beliefs, and a person is 'religious' if they live according to them.

Right

However knowledge is meanless

Sorry if I didn’t word it right then <:GWpinkuNotLikeNico:392308498282840065>

Knowledge and experience is good

There should be a balance of everything

@J_G_ That is not what I am saying. If I worship Terra and more than one collectively do so and claim her to be my god, it creates a religion.

That's worshipping the creation rather than the creator.

or woshipping the creature rather

that's idol worship.

a bunch of people worship idols all day long in the form of sex, lies, and video games

God is pure consciousness, that's why we are made in his image, because we also have that breath of life

most of us have a limited consciousness though. sometimes it is centered around who has the biggest butt or the biggest house.

or the cobwebs in their pocketbook

That’s right 🐛

but God is infinite in scale, and if we look to him, he will reveal what we need when we need it

Religions are the guide to the destination, but not the destination

The map is not the territory.

Religion is a great map, but careful cause there are snakes in the grass who will use the scriptures.

also, I am not a doctor so take my "spiritual ideas" with a grain of salt

Even Jesse says we should doubt him too.

(if i recall correctly)

reminds me of what Jesse said, the people who are Christian, cite the scriptures but their life hasn’t changed & it’s the same old situations. But feeling as though them having a church, knowing the Bible through and through makes them feel as though they have a safety net

Yup he does

Jesse says "all in the name of Jesus"

I listen to Jesse cause he's a better copy of Christ than I am.

Aww lol

I like that he says that bc

Most ppl find a guru and follow them completely

While they may be a good influence, it takes away the persons own growth in a sense

You have to see it for yourself first, and then look to others like your thoughts and ideas are similar to theirs, so you admire them

many times, we don't know how to grow so we could just as soon grow bad as grow good

So that’s where I’m at with Jesse. It just feels that there is so much I agree with him on, and go from there

Just the lesson that "all thoughts are a lie" is enough to go the right way

🙏🏻
