A Few Questions To Ask About God, I Mean, Ask Yourself First (6)

We've asked a lot of questions, but the list of questions could go on and on.

You may question why I haven't talked about the Bible in these questions, even though I call myself a Christian.

That's of course because what I've said so far has not dealt with the "religion" of Christianity itself!

It's like this, these questions probably also simulate the process of me starting from elementary school (yes, don't doubt, I started thinking about these questions in elementary school) until I was about forty years old. You probably also know that I am a super bookworm. I don't want to eat a lot of meat and vegetables, and I can also write about my reading experience. In other words, apart from making no money, I basically dare to say that I am a "professional reader". I am very professional in reading. And one of the main items I read is religious thought, and it's "all kinds."

So I haven't officially introduced Christianity to you yet. I'm just telling you that in my long study, I gradually excluded things that can only be regarded as literary creations, which are not the truth.

To put it simply, non-monotheists were gradually excluded by me because they could not pass the tests of logic, science, and philosophy. Although these are all wonderful literary works, many interesting brainstorming, they also carry profound human history and culture, and more importantly, , even these religious ideas that I think are just interesting to set the content of the game, they still carry the universality of God's revelation, and there are some things that can be borrowed from.

I'm talking about "monotheism" here, not Christianity yet, I just know that there can only be one God, and this is the only answer that fits all logical assumptions.

At best, He will have a lot of "minions", that's all, but treat the men as gods... ok! There may be some gaps in the definition of terms, and it makes people uncomfortable. I mean, the concept of equality of all people is also developed from the values of monotheism. It is also clearly stated in the Bible that people cannot worship angels. People are just servants of God, but there is no problem with "respect". This point must be clearly distinguished. This worship actually means "loyalty", and of course there can only be one loyal object, and there can be no multiple loyal objects. , so in terms of the definition of the word "worship", there are also many cultural differences. Therefore, worshiping God and worshipping Guan Gong have completely different meanings. Most people worship Guan Gong without the meaning of loyalty. Worshiping "pagan idols", you are not a figure of Christ.

That’s why it is said that studying theology is fundamentally the duty of Christians, and Christians who do not study the Bible well are absolutely unqualified, because if you believe in wrong, you will worship wrong.

Justification by faith becomes tragic if your faith is wrong.

Conversely, if you worship "don't know which god" with allegiance and act in accordance with the requirements of goodness, you may instead be considered a good "follower of the true God."

You said you don't need to worry about anything, as long as you do it well? Yes, that's the question to ask this time:

Is it not enough to simply be a good person who does not believe in God?

Yes, many "non-religious" believers like to emphasize this point, thinking that he does good things "for no one else".

No problem, the idea of humanism originally started in this way, as long as you remember that the emergence of humanism had something to do with the corruption of the Catholic Church itself. What they opposed was the Holy See, so they "extracted the concept of good and evil and dealt with it separately." , don't bother to take the authority of the Holy See, after all, the Holy See looks worse.

Have you seen the paragraph "Extract the concepts of good and evil and deal with them separately"? This is the problem, and it is also the source of social unrest caused by rampant leftist glue in modern times. I have said that these people are just "unbelievers". What they claim to be godless means "there is no other god but me." In short, they think they are gods.

Yes, it can be said to be extremely bad when mixed with the sayings that "all people have divine nature" or "all people have Buddha nature", and it becomes as messy as "everyone has his own way" recorded at the end of the Book of Judges. .

To emphasize one point, I am not saying that these people can’t do good things. After all, the corruption of the Holy See was a fact, and there was no need to continue to submit to corrupt “people”. The religious reform will only take place in a hundred or two hundred years, because all things work together. , for the benefit of those who love God, that era did need some radical changes until the Reformation came back.

Let’s start with what it means to be a good person. Would you like to define it?

What standard do you use to define a good person?

Where did that standard come from? Who stipulated? Who agrees with this standard?

You say it's a social convention... that's not right! That's exactly what atheists want to object to, isn't it? If you think that God does not exist, then this current standard of right and wrong is not set by God, but a customary standard, so why should you object?

As for the polytheistic environment, there is no standard of right and wrong, just a system of buying and selling, and the theory of karma does not explain good and evil, or does not explain where the standard of good and evil comes from. Who set that standard?

All this can only be fully explained when the origin of the coordinates exists. If you deny the origin, or if there are multiple reference points, or if you can't say where the origin is, it will be impossible to say.

All right! If you say you believe in an origin, but don't want to believe in Christianity, this is of course an answer. In fact, some agnostics have similar ideas, like the famous Einstein. Many people are saying that Einstein was not a Christian, or that he was a Christian. In fact, it is not correct, but the only certainty is that Einstein was a monotheist. In fact, many scientists are like him. Diligently researching science and discovering the mysteries of God, although he may not belong to any religious faction.

So you said you want to be like Einstein, okay? Sure, but that's a shame, especially since you're not Einstein. I mean, in fact, these scientists have already found the true God. They are not unbelieving in God, but they have not joined human organizations. The question I want to ask is, do you have what it takes to find the Most High in this way?

oh! By the way, this is how I came, and I can also tell you that so is CS Lu Yishi, the author of Chronicles of Nariya (I followed a very similar path to him). To put it simply, we are the kind of people who first find God before approaching Christianity, so if you find God yourself, congratulations, because it is very rare, there are too many lost and obstacles, and it is really God’s grace to be able to walk through all this, And if you have the chance, you should look for the various trajectories and signs that the true God has left in the world, because you are not the only one, nor are you alone. There are too many people in history who have walked this way, and this road later became Christianity.

Of course, since the church is man-made, I wouldn't say it's absolutely fine, that's another story, but if you think about what it means to say "I just need to be a good person," you'll find that being a good person is never a problem. There is no such thing as "as long as", you have to live up to a standard of perfection that you believe to be.

If someone thinks it's okay to be a good person, usually this kind of person doesn't really want to be a good person. On the contrary, he refuses to be a better person because he doesn't want to take on the various responsibilities of being a good person, such as thinking about how to be a good person.
