To know oneself (true self) is to know God, imo.
|
Taking about who is God and knowing the self and the Kingdom of Heaven within..."Our Father Who art in Heaven..."
A short clue, an instructional sentence on the 'how to do that'...comes from Psalm 46:10: Be Still... And I will say - it is a stillness most can not imagine. |
If a person never heard about God(s)/god(s), would they ever come to know about God(s)/god(s)?

could and has often felt, perceived a 'Something', maybe a Presence, maybe an Angel pushing them away from a cliff! Then that primitive or intellectual from any century could form there own conclusion of, say, some invisible power? And call it a Him and call it/Him a god or goddess of the mountain or of the Sun or of grapes or of love. Or a name like a Deity or Giant in the Sky...not knowing the word ''god''. Somewhere the Incas or Aztecs came up with the idea their was an invisible something - 'master of the volcano' ---thinking it/ him would love a virgin thrown in. Then you have the lucky person that is given WAY MORE than just a feeling or superstition...but some 'download' of true insight happens. Never hearing about anything such as a 'God'. All just speculation. Where did the map of invisible Acupuncture Meridians come from...I believe a Download of information. |

In the religions that do not have a God(s)/god(s), does that mean they do not know what they are talking about? |

I think so. But of course "God" is an English word so they would call it something else. Just imagine you were born on earth 8000 years ago then after some time you realize others just like you die. The body stops working. I think the same questions would come to anyone. Questions that come to create a belief in a God or Gods. "What made this place?" "What made me?" "Do I continue in someway after my body dies?" I think it's a natural series of questions that lead to an idea there has to be "unseen" very powerful beings that created all of this and us. Even like a very simple observation. It takes a male and female to make a baby. How did this start? Who or what made the first male and female? Like the chicken and the egg. Something had to make the first one. An idea there is some God or God's is also a natural way to get rid of fear. Like a powerful being in charge we can "please" in someway so they protect us. |

I don't think there is a religion that does not believe in powerful beings that exist. It's just some reject the word "God." They still believe in what is basically the same concept. The concept of superior beings is what I'm talking about. The details of these "God's" are of course unique and not the same. Some are human, some lived on earth, some are in nature, some are fictional, etc. Many differences in what one imagines who or what these superior beings are. |
