Do you believe in God? Pro & Cons

This question of the existence of a God bothers us all at some point in our lives, doesn't it? To answer it without haste - i.e. seriously - requires certain qualities that unfortunately not everyone can show.

Different Opinions

Here are some opinions from a magazine.

PRO's:

A teacher says: “Believing in God gives me stability when things get difficult in life. When I see how innocent children are suffering in the world, the first thing I think is: Where is God? But in the second moment I start to pray anyway. Then at least I can do something and I'm not completely powerless."

An artist: “I don't think much of religions. Especially when they claim power or are used to justify bad deeds. But I believe in universal connections and that there must be something bigger than us humans.”

As one city councilman put it: “Not everything that happens in this world can be explained rationally. For me, faith fills that gap. In prayer I get the strength I need for the challenges ahead.”

One nurse says: “I learned everything I know at church. I used to go to church regularly with my parents, where I played the piano and sang. Now I don't have time to go to church every week. But I read the Bible every day, pray and thank God for everything He has given me."

An older woman says: “I believe in God, but I'm not religious. I carry faith in my heart and have a deep trust in God. He guides me through life, he is life and gives me strength. I feel supported and held by God."

A peasant woman: “When I pray in church, I can unload and get rid of my worries. During the services, my everyday life on the farm is far away. I can listen to myself…”

Retired: “I used to think that God lives on a cloud. Today I know that God is in everything. I also believe in guardian angels. More than once, when I was walking across the street without thinking, something gave me a start just in time."

All people are looking for love. But only those who have found a source of love have the chance of a happy life. Many seek this source in pleasure and abundance. But those who take the trouble to seriously consider what happened on the cross 2 millennia ago have the best opportunity to find a quality source of love.

Thank God that we (our family) found this source of love!

CONS:

Retiree: “He has never bought me a beer before. Instead, the pastor used to pull my ears out when I didn't attend religious classes."

Teenager (f): “I was baptized, but my parents gave me the choice to join a church. I should find my own way. But I never found a deep connection to religion.”

Teenager (m): “My parents didn't bring me up religiously, and I didn't expose myself to it either. I believe in science."

Mother: “I believe that Jesus existed, but I am not a believer. I trust more in science. I have very religious friends and I see the power that faith gives them. But it never clicked for me. My youngest son recently said, "Mommy, I want to go to religion class." "

Retired: “I don't believe in a God, although my whole life I've been tried to believe. I had to go to religion class even though I didn't want to. There are people who terrorize their fellow human beings and then go to confession. I do not agree with this."

Summary

For nearly a century each new generation has been a little less religious than the one before. Since everyone has a certain spirituality, substitute beliefs are being practiced more and more often. Many 'believe' in science and overlook the fact that science does not contradict reasonable belief.

QUESTION: How did this world - let's say the universe - come about? Randomly? Is such a coincidence scientific? About 5 years ago unbelieving Scientists have sat down in the USA and discussed how this world could have come about. Their result: THERE MUST BE A CREATOR !! NOTHING CANNOT CREATE SOMETHING - THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY UNSCIENTIFIC!

In 1960, only 1% of the Swiss population stated that they did not belong to any religion. 60 years later, i.e. in 2020, it was already 31%. In 1988, 43% prayed daily. In 2018, 30 years later, it was only 14% !!! Something seems to be going wrong in Christianity. If it is true that Christ is the source of unconditional love, where we can fill up our emotional love tank at any time, then I cannot understand why this super offer is not communicated and understood as it is written in the Bible.

ALL PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR LOVE. Where can we find the best LOVE SOURCE? With JESUS.

Whoever is interested is invited to read the last chapters of the four gospels. There the dimension of depth, breadth, length and height of a LOVE that goes beyond our comprehension is revealed.

Friends, we have a wonderful God who loves us all and has done everything to win us for a better world, an eternal world where deficits and fears are no more.

I am really looking forward to this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, what Jesus did for all of us, for you and me, is of the utmost importance universally and transcends all conceptions of real love. This event will accompany us for eternity and will be the total source of love for everyone who has made a decision for Christ.

Unconditional Love - The Best of The Best

Unconditional love extends a hand - in any case.

Recommend reading the <Conditional Love - Good or Bad> blog first.

Many people get scared just hearing the word 'UNCONDITIONAL'. The possibility of abuse is raised. You're right. It is not applicable everywhere.

Conditions protect us. In work, in the family, in marriage. As the blog about conditional love wants to show, this component of love is also important.

But when it comes to raising children, promoting social relationships, and maturing a marriage, the path to happiness is unconditional love.

Anyone who receives unconditional love probably gets one of the best gifts that people can give.

What is unconditional love?

Nowadays there is so much talk of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. The term has become an integral part of the alternative media. But what exactly is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? Actually it is quite easy:

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is love - without conditions.

Most of the time, however, the mind will not simply agree to do without conditions. “It doesn't work! There must be a reason, a requirement, a condition. " The mind is a brilliant tool, wonderfully suited to help us find our way around life when it comes to the dimensions of space and time, cause and effect.

Just as the mind is needed for conditioned love, it is all the more important for unconditional love. In general, love has much more to do with intellect than with feelings. Many don't like to hear that. The good news is that once the mind is properly tuned, emotions will adjust to it and produce tons of happiness. But if the logic of life is programmed incorrectly, then the frontal lobe is needed, i.e. willpower, to make this correction. This is probably the best investment because it leads to a real quality of life.

You often hear that we should follow our gut feeling. That may go well sometimes. But those who have trained their minds have clear advantages. Because it can be specialized for the balance of mind and soul.
