The unknown God.

No my belief isn't based on movies baile. However the kind way to ask a question is as follows

Why do you think that?

And here's is my answer to your passive aggressive covert question

Because of what I read in the Bible

Baile going forward if you have a question you may ask. However I would appreciate it very much if you would not assume to know how or what I think. Last time I checked human beings are not superheroes who have the power to read another's mind. Please and thank you

The book did not match the message that those translators liked. They just included what seemed fitting to them.

Yes Sky... a person who fully comes to know God would want to obey, ie, do the will of God because the two wills are in harmony and in relationship. But there is no intermediary in this
The orthodoxy you mention means man, and mans attempts to make people obey them in order to follow their will. that is the difference,
but its hardly black and white, life really is amazing at the visible diversity and dimensions beyond our reach. life really is so incredible and amazing, but we are led to believe I guess that it isn't. why is that?

If you fully know God you wouldn't need to OBEY

I would love to be without religious Stain, to be free of the influence of man , to not be soiled by these powers. If I ever get close to knowing God, this would certainly be one of the thing's I would as for. Detach me from man.

In my view , it is having your consciousness permanently influenced by a religious group. And the stain is just in the consciousness, like a mark on the brain. It just begins to grow and spread.
inside of your belief system's. It move and now becomes a dominant way of thinking. A war in the head humanity, one that has marked humanity since our inception. Yet much of humanity is painfully unaware of this "Mark of the Beast".

Nobody can permanently influence you unless you allow them to. You and you alone have the ability to think for yourself rather than allow a Religion to think for you. I am not saying it comes easy to everyone, some are more easily influenced than others but it's not impossible.
Don't look at it as a ' War in the head ' but as a challenge. Nothing is permanent, everything is in constant flux.

What about the people who do not care? In my family, no one cares about religion and stuff like that, I was born in a christian family, and yet, having no real influence from the outside world, on my own, I had this inner desire to know God.Anyway, usually, I've seen that people who do not care, neither they think about spiritual things.It feels like that they just to trapped in this reality like this is the ultimate truth.Yes, the "Mark of the best" has something to do with the way a person thinks, it may be what you say or it may be even darker.What's even more interesting, after you see the truth behind religion, a battle starts within your mind, having one final question, what is the truth?


Now, a question rises above the sea, how can you think freely if everything you know was passed down through you by other people?
