How will you know?

i believe there are things we cannot explain, that i cannot explain, the nature of which i am as yet unsure

the word 'god' is so loaded with assumptions and imagery that i will leave it at that for now . . .

 

Some believe in what they call the "God Gap", that God was invented to fill in the gaps of what we don't know and that when those gaps are closed then God will disappear or do you feel that "God" exists but is unexplainable

 

something in the middle, but closer to the latter

that is to say that the gaps may never be filled, and for a reason, again, not so much the angry biblical voice but possibly something more existential [for lack of a better term]

things suffer when they are named or defined

this is beginning to remind me of an eye exam

 

But do we ask why the gaps continue to occur, like money; we may no longer expect it; but need it; need it instead, and then expect it for the consequences of lucking and liking?

Is that what Christians call : give me, and let the secular world take it's course?

 

Sorry, just interested. I'll move along.

 

I have accepted that one of my primary tasks is to bring others into the fold.

I am also thinking, all paths lead to god- and that Jesus walks.

peace brothers, P.S. Love the first post, yes it was enough, entirely enough, exactly what i needed.

 

water brother, was thinking about your questions some, and realized that at different times i believed different and occasionally opposing things, the mind is a funny thing, the soul even funnier

see ya on the other side, we'll compare notes

 

Haven't we all.

That's why I like to talk to people about what they believe.

I get to know what others believe and hear ideas I may not have heard before and get me to thinking about my own beliefs.

 

A belief is a confession of ignorance, therefore don't even believe what I tell you, I can only teach you to enlighten yourselves -Buddha

 

do you believe that?

 

By saying yes or no I suffice my view, for it is a paradoxical statement

so I shall not answer because only by answering, either way I choose, It becomes a form of ammunition for online posters to try to prove they're beliefs are right compared to others.

If you want me to say I believe in something, this thing that I may or may not believe in would entirely encompass your views and beliefs.

A single bodily life may seem short, but spirit is reborn into many bodies
