Be giving and selfless in all you do with mercy and humility. Be strong in what you know on an innermost level through the selfless conscience. The weighty things placed on your heart that motivate/shame/ teach you through honest introspection and selfless direction by the will of GOD are placed there by the Holy Spirit for the sake of all, and resides dormant/ asleep in most.
God formed everything. All is of IT to some degree. Core scriptures; Qur'an, Torah, New Covenant, Bhagavad Gita, Book of Enoch, the writings of the church fathers, (look towards the Druze, who suffer now, in this day), the writings of the Bahia Faith.
There is a creative force that made the actual observable laws that all of physical existence and spiritual adheres to without waver by God's will. We are the ones being tested, for our sake and the sake of existence. The hell that we exhibit here on earth will end as sin is ended. Most will tell you it will be horrid and violent.
I say, by God's will and mercy, and our full Faith in our direction of God, we can end greed(sin)as a whole and look to universal prosperity that can't even fully be contemplated at this time.
One Creator GOD is obvious and evident to any who truly look with their heart and soul. As is the very direction of life.
Once people actually start to realize the peaceful unity that is possible through the simple, unadulterated core scriptures of the faithful unto GOD, then we might be able to see the potential through the direction of all given by GOD.
People may say peace can be achieved on a personal level without God. This in itself is greed as it exudes no desire to want to benefit existence as a whole, and rather focus on an individual bubble. It is faulty in doing such. What worth is one momentary life, if not to the benefit and help the advancement of peaceable life as a whole for all, equally and exponentially in comparison to ones own selfish gratifications.
Thanks is to GOD with humility and praise.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
U hold and make some very valid points my friend. I won't agree with everything you say here but however I do agree with ur overall statement. We need God in our lives to succeed. In Islam we are taught that any who God chooses to guide, none can lead them astray. Just as well any whom God leaves to stray, none can guide them. So I wish u the best my friend. May Allah (God) guide to His straight path and never let you go?
Ludicrous.
