God 02, The fear and the guilt

Welcome back.

I can still vividly remember the first time I encountered God. Maybe it wasn't the first time, but it's the time the mention of that Word had a huge impact. FEAR.

It was my first year of primary school and we were assembled before going into respective classes. I don't remember the exact words she used, but the head mistress told us about this all powerful judge sitting on his throne with a big book recording all our sins. I don't know if it was on judgement day or the day we die, but this book would be opened at the Pearly gates and the sinners would be thrown into the eternal fire of hell. Scary stuff!

Since that day I feared God. I have to admit this fear of God helped me in a lot of ways as I started to transform myself. I had to be in His good books, but that also instilled another evil in my heart; guilt. There is so much pressure to sin. Because of that we are doomed and one might even believe that they are not a worthy human.

I decided I would gather as much information as possible about God so that I would know as much as possible about what he hates and what he loves. As time went on I discovered the Bible(what a book!) and it took me on one hell of a spiritual journey. It was a torn Bible with most of the pages missing which a cousin oblivious of the contents had helped deteriorate.

The first book I read was Daniel and I was hooked. Unfortunately I ran out of pages to read, but not before discovering that we may be wasting time worshiping God because he had his own chosen people. It seemed God was only concerned about the Israelites and he would send them on a mission to eliminate other people just to prove his might. Maybe I didn't understand something but with my spirits sagging, I decided to stop reading further.

I would later read the Bible again years later after hearing about Jesus the merciful and inclusive Son of God. This time around I read from Genesis to Revelations. I remember while others were studying their school notes I would be reading this captivating book.

In the New Testament I discovered that we were not doomed simply because of race. By this time God had turned against some of his chosen Children in anger and was only protective to the sons of Judah. In fact he had gotten tired of their sacrifices too and sent his son to be the mother of all sacrifices. This sounds like a God who loves humanity more that his own son. Faced with that terrible fate, Jesus prayed to God to take this terrible affliction from him but it seems God didn't listen because Jesus was killed anyway.

Let me stop here before I try to build Rome in a day. The journey into the rabbit hole continues in the next post.

God 01

God is not an easy topic to tackle. I feel like i should just put a title and go away.

Many have died in his name and others have killed in her name, which is rather confusing in itself. If It gave the commandment to 'not kill', why do others kill in his name?

Others have made stupid financial decisions that help others buy jets and live like emperors while they continue to suffer and live in unfulfilled hope to the death. I thought death was the end of life until I heard there was life after death then I got exceedingly confused.

She is our loving but jealous and vengeful father waiting to send us to hell if we use the power(will) It gave us to go against his commandments. This is also very confusing. What kind of game is this All Mighty is playing with us?

Is our realm or world a dumping site for heavenly scum bags? After being challenged by his right had Angel and his crew he threw or banished them here where they would test us until finally his Son would come and throw them in hell together with some of us who exercised the will power he gave to us.

What did we do to deserve the devil and his demonic crew being dumped here to spoil things for us. I have surely missed something here. Maybe be we are still an experiment that needs to be tested.

I knew I should have just written God and left but here am I Onedaring. You also have a choice; 'You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes', but that's in the next post. See you then.

All of us want answers. I believe that's why you are here reading this. I don't have many answers but I have questions just like you and I think together we can find answers.

Since you and I are wondering wanderers this is the perfect platform. It's hard to find answers these days with all the cover-ups and conspiracy theories. They say with God all things are possible.

God! That's actually going to be our first topic; first things first. We need to discuss this until there is nothing more to talk about. If it means it is the only thing we will talk about, so be it. So, braise yourself for the most challenging yet captivating topic I've ever had to discuss.

See you at the next post
