He Will
Jim Reeves
He will give you life eternal
He will
He will...
He will open up the doorway you never knew was there
He will show you many things you knew not how
He will let you know he listens to your every prayer
He will save you by the mercy of His love.
He will guide you through life's battles, He will give you power
He will answer when you call Him night or day
He will shine His light upon you in the darkest hour
He will love you and go with you all the way.
He will…

The Sun will...
The Sunlight will shine up the doorway you never see in the dark
The Sun will show you many things you knew not how- like helping the plant to make food
The Sun will always there listening to your every prayer
The Sun will save you by the warmth of its ray.
The Sun will guide you through life's battles,
The Sun will give you muscle power by helping your skin make vitamin D
The Sun will know when call Him night or day
The Sun will shine its light upon you in the darkest hour
The Sun will love you and go with you all the way.
The Sun will…

Imagine for a moment that one of your friends writes you a twenty-page letter passionately wanting to share her excitement about a new teacher. This letter has only one topic, your friend’s new teacher. [But] at the end of her letter, you still do not know one thing about her teacher. Yet, Paul presents the central figure of his theology this way. . . . It [seems] impossible to imagine how Paul could avoid telling one story or parable of—or fail to note one physical trait or personal quality of—Jesus.

why in Paul’s letters there are no disputes about what Jesus said or did, and why no specific example from his life is ever referred to as a model, not even to encourage or teach anything or to resolve any disputes, and why the only sources Paul ever refers to for anything he claims to know about Jesus are private revelations and hidden messages in scripture (Element 16), and why Paul appears not to know of there being any other sources than these (like, e.g., people who knew Jesus).

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS JESUS - Philip P. Bliss

1)The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in;
The Light of the world is Jesus!

Refrain:
Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!

2)No darkness have we who in Jesus abide;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
We walk in the light when we follow our Guide!
The Light of the world is Jesus!

3)Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Go, wash at His bidding, and light will arise;
The Light of the world is Jesus!

4)No need of the sunlight in Heaven we’re told;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
The Lamb is the Light in the city of gold,
The Light of the world is Jesus!

That's clearly because of boasted ego.......

.....split minded and conflict of egoistic and humblemess

Why? When every religion claims theirs the only real

Others are fake....

Why? When Zakir Naik pointed out thoisands of flaws in the rival holy script.....

Why? When once purported as the greatest mean to unite people from all background.....

.....currently have undeniably evolved into the number one divisove force within every country

Why?.......


Solution:

New prophecy......when lost and stucked.....

.....go back to the beginning (posted above)

Return to the origin.....paganism i.e. Dayakism for spiritual health of any nation

Find a commom ground.....

Return to the forefather's concept of ever-life giving and heart-warming number source of energy in the solar system

Dear all,
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/Sslee_blog/187643.jsp
The main thing about a religion is, all religions are based on faith; that is belief without evidence.
If the religion narrates a story that says drink the camel's urine to cure blindness, that too you believe. Why wouldn't you? This is your faith. Non-compliance means blasphemy. The punishment is eternal damnation!

I also often marveled by the stories of miracles. Why was it that miracles happened in the past? Why can't present day people meet with angels? Why can't the modern man witness the burning bush or see a man walking on water? Carl Sagan offers an explanation. He wrote in his book, The Demon Haunted World that some of these prophetic traits were signs of mental illness. I can attest to that. I had dreamt of a star bursting one night and I too had been visited by angels during my mania. I can relate well to the story of John Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics, who sees figures others cannot see. Click here for A Beautiful Mind.

I can vouch that at least a couple of the prophets had these traits. In a book, a psychography written about one of them, there are very clear pieces of evidence that this person was suffering from the illusion of grandeur, narcissism complexity, and schizophrenia. However, due to the sensitivity of the topic, I present to you the cases of St. Paul of Tarsus, click here to learn more about St. Paul and St. Christina the Astonishing for comparison, click here to learn more about St. Christina.

Having to understand the world religions and their idiosyncrasies does not make me less respectful of the existing religions. They are the foundation of human morality at large. Though some of the teachings are no longer applicable to the mainstream, religions are the glue that binds the society together. When the USSR collapse in 1991, the very first things that popped up like mushrooms were orthodox religions.

Religions make us feel connected to the Creator. When we are sad or distressed, the first thing for religious people to do is pray. For those without religion, the first thing they do is hit the bottle. Richard Branson claimed he is an atheist. But when asked what did he do in a life-threatening situation, he replied, "I prayed to God to save my life." Then he laughed at the interviewer.

There is a quote by Steven Weinberg, a Nobel Prize Winner in Physics: "Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you have good people do good things and evil people do evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

I disagree with his statement. I know a lot of people who do good things through religion. These individuals no matter which religions they belong will always be good. The evil things done in the name of religions were done by the evil people. These kind of individuals are forever evil no matter which religions they belong.

Religion to me is like a multi-facade lamp shade. Though the shade has various angles, the source of the light is all the same. It is this light that illuminates all the religions. No one religion can claim the exclusivity of the Source.

Thank you

Dear EngineeringProfit,
I can only pray that religious leaders should share their faith commonalities and together we shall build a better World.

Below are common benefits of praying.
https://www.healthfitnessrevolution.com/top-10-health-benefits-praying/
Prayer is one of the leading pastimes in self-reflection and gratitude. Having the ability to draw inward and speculate is a fundamental skill if one wishes to grow and achieve an unlimited number of goals and grow spiritually. Praying, specifically, provides such benefits as not coming to understand oneself, but promotes virtuous ideals and personal character growth.
• Better sense of self – Praying brings you closer to yourself as well as the higher power you pray to. A study by conducted by Columbia University shows that prayer reduces ego and promotes humility. This makes one more concerned for a greater good rather than just themselves, improving selflessness.
• Good for your heart – Prayer helps regulate your heartbeat, making it stronger and less stressed. Though it is a mental and spiritual activity, prayer has been known to speed up the recovery of the heart following heart attacks and cardiac surgery.
• Increase lifespan – By minimizing all the life-threatening effects of stress and environmental factors, praying helps your body heal more efficiently and age more smoothly. All this put together helps the body heal faster and live longer.
• Improves attitude – Prayer helps you be humbled. Through prayer we come to realize how large the world is and how minor our problems are compared to it. When praying for other people we tend to sympathize to others’ problems rather than be selfish. When praying positively, we tend to see a change in our overall attitude making us feel happy both mentally and socially.
• Gain forgiveness – Prayer helps us to open ourselves to forgiveness. It is important we are all humans who make mistakes and that praying help us forgive ourselves for those past mistakes made so that we can move on. Also, during prayer you may be able to gain some insight and sense of direction.
• Gives us hope – When going through a very emotional phase, prayer helps us believe that there is hope in getting through situations. Praying helps us believe that there is a higher being that we can help us shoulder our burdens. Although having hope may not mean that things will turn out the way we want it to, trusting someone with our problems helps get a burden off our shoulder.
• Relieves stress – We live in a pressure-filled world where we are constantly being rushed to take on responsibilities, succeed and be at the top of everything. Reflecting on our problems through prayer helps relieve the initial stress of the situation. Leaving our problems up to a higher being.
• Stronger mindset – While prayer also promotes hope in the future, faith is also what keeps a religious person centered and strong. Through their belief they have the strength to overcome both trivial and major worries.
• Recovery – After a situation leaves you emotionally or physically distraught recovery is a timely process. Prayer serves as a way to deal with the aftermath and keep one’s faith. Your mind and body are focused solely on healing while prayer keeps you centered and hopeful.
• Maintain a positive outlook on life – Day-to-day issues affect our stress levels and mood. Daily prayer keeps religious people looking forward to a better tomorrow. By being thankful for every day and every day to come praying changes one’s outlook on life as a whole.

Thank you

An analogy to illustrate why most of the founders of great religionss had ended their lives in same fate......

......is by using software......which comes with a warning......issue about compactiblity

If incompactible......the whole CPU system might collapse...

Posted by EngineeringProfit > 2019-09-09 11:47 | Report Abuse

....as though their systems are suitable for all

Hence always end up overdoing.....as though more in numbers is better

overdoing as though deeper one dwell into it is better

.....overdoing as though everyone should jump into sub.....specialize.....even before being a generalist in spiritualism



Unlike software......which comes with a warning......issue about compactiblity

If incompactible......the whole CPU system might collapse...
