it's not really possible for the observer to observe the object of observation while observing the observer's own mind.

2018-09-10 16:17:19 UTC  

attention seems to be generally one-pointed, aside from muscle memory sequences.

2018-09-10 16:59:55 UTC  

I don’t see it as believing in many gods, it’s one god as he said

2018-09-10 17:00:38 UTC  

@J_G_ also absolutely right with ppl having blind faith in the Bible. They can’t see anything else

2018-09-10 17:01:38 UTC  

if the first religions appeared via revelation to ancient people, why would the God change to a "real" one later?

2018-09-10 17:02:02 UTC  

God is outside of the constraints of time.

2018-09-10 17:03:13 UTC  

I do get concerned when a religion says you cant get in unless you pay, or if you leave that religion you get your head chopped.

2018-09-10 17:03:58 UTC  

the formalities of joining a religion are exactly why god said "ignore all religions and come directly to me"

2018-09-10 17:04:40 UTC  

Really good point

2018-09-10 17:04:58 UTC  

That was kind of why I had my doubts in the past on becoming a Christian

2018-09-10 17:05:36 UTC  

right, like " how do you know you are "really" a Christian "

2018-09-10 17:05:39 UTC  

I just thought why would a person who knows god have to have a formality in their faith?

2018-09-10 17:05:53 UTC  

it's always gonna be some human being who is going to look you up and down and decide.

2018-09-10 17:06:13 UTC  

i don't worship human beings, my body, or my ego.

2018-09-10 17:06:39 UTC  

although Jesse is my Guru at this time.

2018-09-10 17:06:53 UTC  

Same hahah

2018-09-10 17:06:53 UTC  

Then why have different perspectives?

2018-09-10 17:07:07 UTC  

They have different perspectives bc it’s different cultures

2018-09-10 17:07:19 UTC  

Different perspectives is what created different religions in the first place.

2018-09-10 17:07:24 UTC  

A lot of times, they follow very similar values

2018-09-10 17:07:26 UTC  

the perspectives on God are lacking in the main religions.

2018-09-10 17:07:46 UTC  

when you really love God, you will want to know all his stories

2018-09-10 17:07:53 UTC  

I just found that Christianity suited me

2018-09-10 17:07:55 UTC  

That’s true

2018-09-10 17:07:56 UTC  

thats what i think at least

2018-09-10 17:08:03 UTC  

That’s why I learned as much as I could

2018-09-10 17:08:09 UTC  

It becomes a house divided onto itself.

2018-09-10 17:08:18 UTC  

imagine an eternal being, imagine all the people and things and creatures he made

2018-09-10 17:09:02 UTC  

eternity is a long time. houses will divide and turn to dust, God will still shine

2018-09-10 17:09:10 UTC  

Yup

2018-09-10 17:09:13 UTC  

Then why is Christianity / Judiasm the oldest and most followed?

2018-09-10 17:09:13 UTC  

God cannot be harmed

2018-09-10 17:09:27 UTC  

What does that mean though?

2018-09-10 17:09:32 UTC  

I'm not contradicting.

2018-09-10 17:09:50 UTC  

I'm not going to tell anybody what they should do to get to know the Creator

2018-09-10 17:10:00 UTC  

or shouldnt do

2018-09-10 17:10:06 UTC  

if they do wrong, they will suffer and die

2018-09-10 17:10:29 UTC  

If you say that there are other perspectives because of cultural differences, why not follow the root in the first place?

2018-09-10 17:10:39 UTC  

the root goes to india

2018-09-10 17:10:47 UTC  

No it doesn't

2018-09-10 17:10:59 UTC  

in the physical world yes
