But do not think the teachings of the bible are foolish, because much knowlegde and peace of the soul can be sought through reading them and realizing what is beneath the underneath.
|
the Bible is just so fallible and tampered that it ought to be treated as just another book. Sure there are moral lessons from the bible, but you can learn also from dostoevsky for example. It does not serve as a basis for the complete way of life.

Is reason not the highest guide we have in forming opinions, then why has it been separated from belief.
|
because you can also believe in unreasonable facts. My opinion is that if logic and reason of certain things necessitates a belief in something, then only can that belief be fully justified.

Yes, this purpose may be just for the individualization of the soul so that at death we may once again join the innocence and blindness to evil that we experience as a child. Founded on these three essentials that all children contain at birth, Matter, Zone, and Soul. Matter is the only visible tangible essential. Zone is that which manifests itself as Energy, Life. It is not Energy: it is that which makes itself known as Energy or Force. The Soul is the pure and perfect simple.

You are just playing around with words here. What are you talking about, where's the justification? So there are three components now? Metaphysics philosophers have debated between dualism and monism, meaning whether humans are mere matter or also have a consciousness. but you are claiming THREE?

But do not think the spirit as a being or God above us, but rather with reason enlightening your mind think of God as the entire population of Earth and the Goodness of the Soul that is resident in every Human being.

What language are you speaking?! God is the transcendentally omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, and omnipresent Being, supreme and absolute in all positive attributes. This is a generally accepted definition from monotheistic theology. So you come here and say "
think of God as the entire population of Earth....blabla". I can't
think of it because it is not plain English.

Thou great and loving essence of all good whose child I am, Strengthen me in knowledge and show me more clearly the way. I love thee for thy tenderness to me. I trust the utterly and feel thee near me always. I am safe in thy hands and know thou will guide me aright.-Amen

May God approve your prayer. But please, dogma towards your whims will not take you towards goodness. You will not achieve what you want through prayer alone, you have to act logically and rationally. That's how physical laws work.
