Cool....
I have 'sampled' many religious community documentation but have not studied a single book to the exclusion of others as I did not have any belief in 'God', only in 'spirit' and 'human connectedness'.
I am now a believer in 'God' and through my encounter/experience/emergence believe my 'spirit' to now be the same 'spirit' that dwells within all animals. However because I am human I like all humans have a rational brain and I was taught to be 'technical' and 'scientific' - indeed I have had a life that follow just exactly that process.
HOWEVER I have been knocked back many times as I tried to defend myself from the aggression of others.
I was married in a church and am divorced my wife remarried in a registry office, so in the site of the 'Christian God' I am still married. This counts for nothing in my world, in fact EVERYTHING was taken including my mental health, then I was DUMPED. Those are facts not a rant on my behalf - I still love my ex-wife and always will - that is, the true, commitment of love.
The one God is in all people of the earth and there are no RULES it is a fact. Consider if 7,000,000,000 'holy spirits' worked through their physical bodies to make the 'miracle' change we all would like to see. Don't you think that 'God' like changes could become reality.
This is the ministry of God, all around and within us. Amen
The true trinity looks like
Spirit - from God - back to God
Emotion - animal brain - mortal
Rationality - Human brain - mortal
Body - the physical entity
Our function - we as Human Animals we have the responsibility of looking after ALL of God's creatures. Therefore this world and any world we inhabit in the future.
Rational thinking leading me to express myself on this site.
All of my words to date have been learning HOW to speak the words in my 'spirit'.
Peace to you,
Thank you for your question - this is my honest answer, made through my physical being, by my 'spirit'.
The deleted post has to do with a technical issue at my end - resulting in the deletion. I marked it a such because it may have been see and was comments for another site.
Every person is 'connected' to the 'everything' that is 'God' and is expressed in this physical universe 'the creation'. Science KNOWS that the universe is creating itself the power/force/agent is 'God' and we have no way of proving this with tools created in the physical realm. However science already knows of the 'interference' caused by human beings, hence 'double blind trials' and other 'human element' factors found in philosophy (yes it is a science), sociology and psychology etc.
Thanks for the response.
You seem to be saying that you came to a conclusion of GOD(One Creator GOD of All existence) after some time in atheism. Is this correct?
What do you mean "to the exclusion of others"?
I find that a great many people are actually somewhat spiritual, and even agree about a spiritual connectedness between all life. I would be slightly wary of any who didn't. Nihilism is a poison.
To say your spirit is aligned with the spirit of animals is to say you are running on instinct mostly. Is that correct?
Negativity, and aggression from another can happen for any number of reasons; all of which emanate from fear, pride, or greed. That doesn't mean that everything does not happen for a reason. Yes; double negative, as in; positive.
If the marriage was in a church that you weren't an active believing member of then I personally don't see any issue(please excuse my little opinion( I felt compelled since I read about it I guess. I wouldn't claim to know the sight of GOD, and most assuredly would personally not divide GOD needlessly. (You mentioned "Christian God".)))
As far as all being taken, or rather, lost on your part; it has too been my personal experience that one must be brought very low before they submit and hope and genuinely plead to GOD for help. As cheesy as it may sound to some; I believe one must fall to rise, one must crawl before they can walk, and like a phoenix; those brought low, eager for death, are those born anew and raised up to soar and shine as a beacon of the light of GOD.
Here in a discussion about the trinity may or may not be the best place for this, but; though many may think there is great division among the religious(of the world) their is actually an observable accord and harmony. Christ is spoken of in many texts, not as a reference to man alone, but to a spiritual state that comes about through a process.
You speak of a Spirit divided by 7 billion, you should be speaking of a singular Spirit. There is only One. It is without change or variable and does not differ between men based on their own wants or bias. Indeed the change and peace and flourishment of a singular accord wholly reciprocating the benelevent characteristics of GOD in thanksgiving and the glorying of GOD would be nothing less of miraculous friend.
A Trinity is only three friend and is only an attempt at an explanation by man(creation).
When I attempt to rationalize the perspective of the Trinity against what I know by the faith mercifully given to me by GOD, it looks like:
FATHER : One Creator GOD
Holy Spirit: other/ different spirit apart from self and the wants of self (GOD as observable and witnessed within one's own life(also the working and inclinations of the selfless conscience, but in no way limited to such.))
Son: man that actually follows the inclinations of the Holy Spirit to the glorying of GOD alone. (indeed the Christ showed the exact path though so very few can see it through the haze and misguidance of the "church" past).
Understand that the Christ, the second coming, is not a reference to Jesus of Nazareth reappearing in some secret place, but it is the indwelling of the Spirit of GOD(that same One that overflowed through Jesus the Christ and firstfruit.)
I like your take on our purpose or function and would pretty much agree though perhaps word it differently.
You say rational thinking lead you here and I realize that you may be crediting your rationale to GOD which is good, or may be equating it to GOD which I would have to disagree with. Surely humility isn't lost on one so betrotten at one point.
I too find it rather difficult to articulate my intended meaning at times. It's those times that I would hope that I can recall that my own meaning is irrelevant, but the guidance of the Lord is priceless.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the deleted post.
I hope we can speak more, and continue in some level of civility.
peace
