A Few Questions To Ask About God, I Mean, Ask Yourself First (1)

As a Christian, it is normal to be questioned, because I have had these questions myself, and in the history of mankind, people have always asked the same questions, no questions are new, and they have been answered long ago. Of course, the answer is good or bad. It’s the same thing. In short, as a Christian, it’s really important to figure out these issues for yourself first. It’s one thing if others can’t listen to you. The problem is what you think about yourself.

Speaking of which, for many people who grew up in Christian families, some questions are so taken for granted that they have never thought about it, or take it for granted. Of course, this is fine, but what you take for granted is not necessarily what others take for granted, so don’t take it for granted. People who take things for granted are really taking things for granted, because they only take you for granted...

Well, the tongue-biting thing above is a joke (although I'm serious), let's think about a few questions.

1. Do you think there is a god?
2. Do you believe in God?
3. Do you wish there was a god?

These three questions are a group. Every time I talk about God, I have to first clarify which one you are asking about. The other is based on your judgment. Do you think there is a God? The second is according to what you think in your heart. Do you believe in the existence of God? The third is whether you yourself wish there was a God.

These three issues are actually very different, so it is important to distinguish them clearly. After all, many people who believe in science will "think" that there is no God. Of course, this view itself is very unscientific, but many people who regard science as religion will have this view. It's a superstition, and if you really want to discuss religion with people, then this superstition is the big problem you have to deal with, because people who believe in science don't think they're superstitious.

In fact, for people who "confess themselves to believe" in science, you should ask him whether there is any way to disprove it, because this is the scientific research method, that is, "Can you prove that there is no God?"

Yes, of course they have a lot of "evidence" like God allowed the world to be a mess or something, and that's the best answer because they've made an instrumental definition of something they don't think exists, in other words they don't Believe in God, and they think God should come out and take care of things.

When it comes to science and logic, it is impossible for people who think they have no religious belief to be complete, because Christian theology is the origin of reason and scientific thought. Similarly, if you deny science and logic, you will not be a good Christian, but a good Christian. Superstitious Christians do not.

Yes, I'm talking about denying evolution or something.

In short, science cannot prove that God does not exist. This solves the problem of the first stage, that is, "You can't at least be sure that there is no God, maybe there is."

As for do you believe in God? This question is a little more interesting, and it will lead to the question to be discussed in the next article, and it is linked to the previous one, which is the question of “Do those who deny God really know what they are denying?”

The more interesting answer to this question is the Buddhist answer, because Buddhism "claims" that there is no god. Of course, the Buddhist worldview is full of errors and ridiculous. I will discuss this later. In short, the most unscientific discussion is not those shamanistic religions or indigenous religions, but Buddhism. However, under the operation of human instinct, in the end it is those Buddhas or Bodhisattvas who should be God worships (although they will deny it, but mentality and values cannot deceive people), but instead, Buddhism has a foothold because of the appearance of God, even if they deny it, they are very clear in behavior It shows that they worship Buddhas as gods, and even lower rank Bodhisattvas and Arhats as gods. I have heard some self-righteous Buddhist pictures say that those are heretical Buddhism, but I would say that if it weren’t for these people, you would believe Yes, hope is just pure delusion, although they are equally wrong, but not as outrageous as you are.

And the third question is even more interesting, because this question also reflects the first two questions, especially if you answer hope, this question is a little smaller, answering no hope is actually the most fun, because what he said It means he wants to be a god himself.

Yes, no matter how you answer this question, there is a problem, because the problem lies in the title, but it doesn't mean that you can't ask it, because this is a very fundamental mentality, whether you want it or not, it is correct, because that is your personal There is no right or wrong question.

There is no right or wrong, but there are problems, yes, we still have a series of questions to ask, which we will continue to talk about in the next part.

As for my answer? My answer is "I know there are gods" so I don't "think", but I know there are gods, just as I don't think coriander is delicious, but I know coriander is delicious, but you may think coriander is bad; I don't Believe, because I already know there is a god, just as I don't have to believe that 1+1=2, but I know that 1+1=2, but you may think there is a fraud, maybe 1+1=Tian; I don't need to hope for a god, because I already know that there are gods. Of course, there may be people who believe in gods, but hope that it is best if there are no gods to control them.

Yes, for these kinds of questions, I will not answer the questions directly, because if I answer these questions, they are incomplete statements for me, and my answer is yes. I know there is a god.

Of course, maybe you "don't know yet", that's fine, and I didn't know it right away, so these three questions can still be used for research, but in fact, these three questions are just introductory questions, and the next step is the key, We'll talk about this next time .

(On a side note, I have seen too many people who are confident enough to think that they are smart enough to decipher Christian sayings, regardless of whether your brain is really good or not, I just want to say that your problem was at least 3,000 years ago. A bunch of people have asked and they said exactly the same thing, and the book of Job is all recorded and answered, and the book of Job was not even written by the Jews, but by the Canaanites. So please be clear, many times it’s just Christians who don’t bother Just ignore you, because we often encounter this kind of delusional person in our daily life, and we are accustomed to this kind of superstition.)
