You don't have "the" concept of God. Just the negative aspects you were brought up on.
God doesn't live in a book, or on someones lips.... or in anyone's words or deeds. Theres a start for you!
The concept of god couldn't be defined by any holy book and or scroll. Because the Abrahamic god cannot exist because that god is too flawed. If a god did exist it wouldn't be loving or hateful but rather neutral to everyone's and everything existence. The concept of yaweh is a horrible one because you have to fear god and yet love him. You have to fear god... and love him... doesn't that bother you....?
No, not really. Man taints everything he touches. My experiences are through trial and error. Personal experiences. Questions and answers. I keep my mind open to everything. But, I reject anything that doesn't pass the test.
We need to seek within ourselves. Men are NOT a good guide to OUR intuition.
Once we are able to define the concept of God in our hearts and mind it becomes clearer. But, we need to stop thinking as men perceive God. Through religion, or any method other than Jesus. There is a lot of truth in the Gospel. It goes much deeper than the story. Its actually the words within the story.
Its really not something that can be done in an instant. Or even realized within a short time span. It is a gradual understanding, and enlightenment.
And when things start to unfold, it gets easy. You feel this overwhelming Peace and Freedom. Freedom from everything that limits us. Like fear. I can say I have absolutely NO FEAR in me. None! But its taken me 7 years to become fearless.
Like I said... its not been an overnight thing, but a slow, steady evolution.
