Maybe there is just something wrong with God.

Nature has no interest in good or bad - or high or low - or truth or lies - its only true wish is to experience itself as a whole - as the All.

recently I read something very similar to what you wrote. It really helped me into understanding "God". I read, God is a spirit that was never human. God only knows and recognizes love and nothing else. God, and the universe could really be the same idea depending on who you talk to and what there beliefs are. It's all really the same idea. A lot of people don't think of God as spirit only and not being human at all.
I just revisited a thought I had for a long time but it just made more sense than ever.
Ok you have Mary, the mother of Jesus aka the Virgin Mary. Back in the day the bible was written"Virgin" had a different meaning then it does now. Virgin ment, "one with no master" quite possibly an unwed mother. Since in Christianity of the day being an unwed mother was taboo. Christans literally painted God into human form. I think that makes Jesuses story all the better. Jesus being a human born in a world with everything against him and he was still able to do all the great things he did.

I think we can only judge the Source of Creation from an Eternal perspective.
In my little time in Life I often have played God judging this or that.
What an arrogant species we can be.
The best I can do is find Acceptance of how things are and move forward in
an attempt to have more Serenity and Peace and LOVE through my choices.
Loosing more of my judgements does provide for a more Harmonious Life no matter the circumstances.
I must say this Life does seem like a maze with Unconditional LOVE as it's prize.

P.S. Forgiveness both giving and receiving I heard is a KEY to Happiness.

Old Testament God was far from perfect. By present day morality you could describe him as homicidal maniac. Same as all other ancient deities.

"Perfect" and high moral altruist emphatic God comes only with New Testament and even that from a later interpretation of life of Jesus.

Niche saw this New Testament Christian God as source of most problems in modern civilization because he does not align with how people are and creates neuroses and weak individuals and nations.

So, maybe nothing is wrong with God except New Testament interpretation that is just false.

If it's his word he didn't do a very good job either in writing it or getting it translated.

Interesting take! Maybe both documents are distortions, caused by the beliefs of their respective receivers of the visions.

We should avoid anger and hate because they'll cause us to experience an angry and hateful reality. So it isn't really about forgiveness being good. for you.

Forgiveness implies judgement of someone who you perceive as having wronged you. So, by thinking in terms of forgiving you invite into your reality more and more situations that will cause you to need to forgive others ... That isn't something you want.

:) There is no god, it's all your fault ... There is nobody to blame, not even yourself, because you erred from ignorance (not a pejorative here), which gradually you overcome. There is no karma either ... just suffering caused by your current level of ignorance (not by your past behavior).

I guess you don't believe there is a god as you describe, as if you believed you wouldn't dare to offend or challenge him (?)

The identity and true nature of God is not to be found in any book. Just as we are unique the God revealed to us will necessarily be unique. How big is God ? Big enough to be personal to us………

For me, some of my more-recent thoughts and questions have run along the lines of, if there is indeed some type of ‘Cosmic Host’ that is meant to act as God’s representatives to Protect, Guide, Help and Assist people on Earth, then perhaps these ones have become somehow corrupted or been manipulated and misled into acting against/outside of God. (In Sufism, this ‘host’ is called ‘the Men of the Unseen’; in Christianity, ‘guardian angels’; in a so-called New Age movement, ‘ascended masters’, etc.)

Personally, I don’t hold that anything can ‘go wrong’ with God, but for sure there are all kinds of spiritual misinterpretations, inaccurate understandings, false and distorted teachings, etc., and which are causing people on Earth (and ‘Cosmic Beings’, too?) to go all kinds of wrong, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Sending God’s Light, Love, Protection, Blessings and Abundance to all. Ronni
