Prayers of Reconciliation, Chapter 4

Before I write this post let me pray God for guidance;
My lord God, master of the universe and life-giver to every living thing, I am praying thee for forgiveness of my sins and reconciliation to thy eternal life-force, so that, I would be worthy to ask you to guide me to write, Prayers Chapter 4.

PRAYER CHAPTHER 4

I have written a whole chapter all by myself, and it is so boring, I hope my readers will not be bored also, it is too hard to talk forever all by oneself, even if you have millions of things to say, so I have asked my friends Mark, Gino and others to come to a new meeting, in the hope that we may come up with a new strategy, and also find a way how to say things that do not sound so boring.


Now I am waiting for my friends to come, while I am getting a few things together, so that we may have a few nibbles and a drink during or after the meeting; you see I do not want them to feel pushed too much about these religious matters, as they don’t seem to volunteer easily to talk seriously about religion, so I want them to feel more like we are here to enjoy ourselves first of all.


At last my friends have arrived, so I better meet them at the front door, so that they may feel welcome. I can see five of them, there is Mark, Gino, Don, Bill and another bloke that I have only seen around sometimes with Gino, so I wonder what type of person he may be. Anyhow we greeted each other as often friends do and Gino introduces his friend Peter to me, he seems a decent sort of bloke to me, so I hope he is also interested in religious talks.

So, we go inside while chatting about many unimportant things, asking how we feel about this and that, and what we have been doing lately. We sit down around this table that I have made ready, and while I offer them a drink they all start nibbling from whatever was on the table, we were all relaxed and enjoying each other company for a while. But then Gino seemed to remember the reason why we were there and asked; Fran have you written or done anything about those religious feelings that you have?


Of course I have! I said.

To tell you the truth I have written a whole chapter all by myself, which I am going to let you read it if you want later on. Now I want you to know that for me has been very hard to write that, just because I would have felt better if we had had some discussions on those subjects I wrote, then it becomes too monotonous and boring, so I really wish that we had discussed a few things before I wrote them down, as that would makes me feel better.

Anyhow, now you are here and we may discuss a few things together.

If I remember right a while ago we were discussing the very end of the Bible, which seems to forbid any change of what the Bible says, and therefore any change in religious beliefs; have you formed any opinion on that since then? Or what have you found out that may be able to help me write my religious theory?


Well; no I haven’t thought much about that; Gino said.

The same here; Mark said, however I have been thinking about the religious situation of today, so, I would like to say what I think.

We all agreed to hear him; and this is what Mark said.


Mark Speech.
Let us stop just for a moment to think about nowadays religious matters, as this is a very important part of our lives to know, and it would be great if we could find some answers to the questions raised from our fried Fran.

My own personal experience nowadays leads me to think that things are changing including religious things, perhaps slowly but they are changing, it has got to be that way, since a lot of things have changed especially the last 50 years.
When I was a teenager I remember that the Bible was called the Sacred Scripture, and it would be a sin for anyone other than the priest to handle it or read from it. Today the Bible is available to the public and also some other religious books. So, it is only a matter of time before the public at large learns what could be true and good to believe; and what doesn’t make sense and therefore one should not bother about it.

Today most household have a computer, which helps in many ways to learn new things at a very fast pace indeed; so, the computer is going to accelerate the changes it is obvious, it is going to be just like other great events that have happened in the past, whenever there is something that radically changes the way of thinking or doing things, great changes follow it is inevitable.

Now, let us take a look at discussion groups on the Internet:
There are perhaps hundreds if not thousands of groups; they are all discussing their own agenda, I don’t want to talk about all those groups, as here we want to talk about religious things mostly. As you all know there are some groups which talk only about religion and their own beliefs; there are groups discussing philosophy, which in a way could include religion; there are groups discussing evolution including creation versus evolution; and there is also a large group called, Atheism versus Christianity.
Of all these groups, Atheism versus Christianity is the largest group, the atheists don’t believe about God, so they do not believe in any religions and would like to see religions disappear.

The Atheists group is formed largely from well educated people, and therefore, when a discussion arises they are able to put a strong case about their non beliefs, so the followers of religious groups, which are a large part uneducated, are left in a disadvantaged position. This may give rise to the believers losing faith and moving away from their own religions.
My views are these: As the Atheists as a whole does not see that if they destroy religions, they are going to create much bigger problems in the whole world.

This makes me think about those differences of opinion, so I believe that atheist are making a mistake in believing that the world maybe better off without religions, because looking at the whole situation, I have to say that God and man need each other, and that is the reason why religions need to exist. What do you say, do you agree with me?


We all said in a way or another, of course we agree with you, your reasoning makes things very clear. Then, I said; I will take note of your speech and if you don’t mind I will write it down in my writings.


Gino was also impressed and wanted to say something himself:

And this is what he said.


Gino speech:

I should say that I have been thinking about what we said about the end of the Bible; but I have not done anything at all, although every now and then with my friends here Don, Bill and Peter we mention it, without having any real deep conversation about the subject.

Look Fran, I really thought that you would give up about writing this religious theory of yours; you see it is very hard to do something that other people have tried to ignore for thousands of years, whether it was through fear or lack of knowledge. Beside that you and I, including our friends here today, we are not what you would call well educated people. I know we know enough how to write something and be understood, but that may not be good enough to write what you want to try to write.

Now, I see that you look disappointed, since you are keen to write your religious theory, no matter how much troubles you may be getting yourself in, so, I will try to learn a bit more about religious things and next time we meet I may be able to say something more positive, perhaps we may have to start from the very beginning of the Bible; and while we study we should ask ourselves whether the meanings are clear enough, or if there is another meaning to what we see at first glance, but for now that is all I want to say.


This is how this meeting ended, because after Gino speech we just chatted about other matters that would not interest the readers here.

After we enjoyed ourselves chatting and having a few drinks my friends departed, so I was left all by myself to decide what I had to do next, so, I thought I better do what I was doing before the meeting.

I thought that perhaps a prayer to God could help, and I prayed God for guidance.


I AM PRAYING GOD FOR GUIDANCE.

Our Father in heaven, to you I turn God Most High, and I start to pray with all my heart, my soul and my mind. In the name of The-Father The-Son and The-Holy Spirit I am praying, hoping that the ever present guiding force of the Holy Spirit on earth would guide me; So that, I would be able to write my religious writing as humanly as possible according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and guide me! Amen.

Prayers of Reconciliation
Prayers Chapter 4

WHAT SORT OF GUIDANCE WE NEED TODAY FROM GOD?

Now that I have prayed for help and guidance, let us talk about it. We need help and guidance from God so that we would be able to find our own way about, on how to reason within our own minds in order to find our own way, about what we are, what we were, and what will we be in the future in the eyes of God?

To do all this reasoning we need to use our own mental imagination of course and with our intelligent mind examine everything that we presently know today, and also learn as much as we can from existing record of common knowledge, so that we would be able to understand many things if not everything.

So let me start this process of self examination right now.

First of all it comes to my mind that life on earth has kept going on all the time since the very beginning of times, and what we call time or times can never be stopped for a single moment to move towards the future because that is an impossible thing to do.

But what we call time, even though it is impossible to stop and to change in anyways within itself, it brings change to life and other things as it passes and moves on towards the future, so that, it is necessary for any form of life including our own life to try and adapt to the times that such lives including our own happens to be living in, in order to survive and thrive.

Therefore, any of these changes that the passing of time brings to us must be taken into consideration, no matter what they are even if they don’t seem important to us now; so that we could find a way to use them to our own advantage in the future, considering this position it becomes obvious to all of us that we have to do something in order to adjust to our new position. Therefore it would not be any good to stand firm in our previous practice or beliefs, whatever those practice and beliefs would be, even if those practice and beliefs have helped us many times and for many centuries before nowadays.

So, today we need to look closely at our practice and beliefs of our present times, and we should use our intelligence that God has given us, since it has been given to us from God for good reasons, so that we could look after ourselves diligently.

I believe that today we the people of this planet earth have reached a very high standard of understanding and that we are able to reason and understand facts and things much more diligently than what we used to do in the past.

We should feel lucky nowadays just because we are living in a very fast progressing time. Now since progress means improvements over the past times, and improvements many times bring change of directions, we are the generation that will have to adjust to the present times, and then guide the future generations in the right directions.

I believe that nowadays we need a religion that covers both people and spiritual things together and bridges the old religions and the new ideas together.

How to start all this happening the right way is hard to say, but we have to make a start somehow, so I am going to write something about this subject, even though I am concerned about how and what to write.



WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST WHILE I AM WRITING?

While I am writing my beliefs I am concerned that I am not a good writer; therefore I will not be able to write down clearly in a few lines what I have in mind, so that the readers could understand at a glance what I mean; but I have to try to explain myself properly in many ways hoping that the whole subject becomes clear as I write it.

At the present time I see that I am repeating many things and this concerns me, because if there are too many repetitions all my writings will become boring to say the least. But it is so hard not to repeat things, since religion is a subject that you have to convince people, and what is more convincing than to repeat things again and again in a different way, so that people soon or later may understand what you want to convey to them.

I am concerned also when I have to write a prayer, because prayers are going to be a large part of these religious writings, here I feel that I have to start most times in the same way, as I want to concentrate at the highest praying level possible and pray to God Most High, therefore all my prayers tend to start the same way.

I happen to be concerned about what people will think about me and my writings; Since I am not a good writer, a learned person, or a prophet, nor can I say that I have proof that what I am saying is definitely right. This concern of mine I will try to explain in another chapter.

Yes, I know that I have seen this angel from Heaven that has greeted me as the author of Reconciliation of the Universe; But at the moment of this special encounter I was too scared to say even a word and I ran away from the angel; so now, I don’t know whether the angel would have given me a spoken message from above and what that message could have been. Therefore now I keep asking myself: What I am writing here, is it what the Heavens above want me to write? And if it is not what should I do? Why my inner self is driving me to keep writing my own beliefs and therefore I write them. Some of this inner force comes from my beliefs that I can see things through my mind eyes better that the average person can.

You see, by looking at the religious world of today I feel concerned, because at the present time most religion of the world disagree with each others, and I am sure that if they don’t find a way out how to adjust and agree with each other soon they might end fighting each other seriously. So, I believe that something needs to be done to prevent that happening, and for this reason I am trying hard to find a way out, even if this is going to be only a hint. But still I am concerned about my religious writings in case they might bring more harm than good.

What concerns me is that people may not understand me, and my way of seeing religious things; here I mean the way that I see how God Most High works, as God Most High is the collective positive life force of the whole universe, and therefore this includes all existing gods that we believe in, in the whole world, and how this life force could be connected to all existing religions, and also how all existing religions would be connected to God Most High.

Here I become concerned about what the world of learned religious people, and also others learned people will say about these writings. So, I am writing next chapter for them.


Next time I will talk about this:

WHAT WILL LEARNED PEOLE SAY ABOUT THESE WRITINGS?
------------------------------------------
So, here I have a question to ask to anyone that reads these writings; should anyone of you take sides in this important debate.
Which side you think is more important for the welfare of humanity?

Warning to hackers:

If you disagree with what is being said here, it would be better for everybody if you write your own views on the subject and leave my writings alone, as you may know what you do to others one day the others will do it to yourself.


Now I have to temporarily stop to write anything else, So may God bless those who are willing to follow him; And for those who don’t believe in God and want to harm those who believe let the will of God prevail, and let God deal with them in whatever ways God sees fit to deal with them.

God and man are made for each other;

PRAYER OF RECONCILIATION
I come to you praying God-Most-High master and eternal life giver of the universe, I am praying thee for forgiveness, reconciliation, cleansing, guidance and blessing.
Father, I am praying and hoping that in your mercy you would forgive me all my life sins, and that you would make me spiritually clean of any impurities that may affect my soul; and thus, I would become worthy to pray to you and my prayers would be heard and accepted.
I am praying in the hope that I would receive your forgiveness, reconciliation cleansing, guidance and blessing, and after receiving them, let me be your humble servant.
Father, hear my prayer forgive me my sins and bless me; so that I can live in harmony with thy eternal life-force; Amen.
Let me try to explain how I feel about the above prayer.
My dear reader: As you can see, my prayer above is directed to our Father God Most High and that is good, as God is really the divinity that we should all be praying before any others.
By praying to God-Most-High directly, not only we are able to say a better prayer; but are also able to neutralize any doubts in the mind of other people who belong to other religions, and we will appear as brothers to all the world religions at the same time, because we would be able to bypass any doubts of separatism in the minds of people belonging to other religious groups, as God-Most-High is the focal point where all religions meet together.
Of course all religious groups have their own way of praying, and they could keep their own praying ways, if they like to do so, since that is the way that they know how to pray. I am sure that it will not make any difference at all how they pray, because they still should be able to link their own prayers to our Father God Most High, as God-Most-High is the highest of all positive life-force that guides the whole universe, and therefore, He links all religions together, since all religions have been born from Him.
Forgive me my reader if you find hard to believe what I have just said above, and also what I am going to say next: but all will be explained to you again and again as I go on writing. But now let me say just a few more things about this subject; pointing out to you how and why a prayer (a person who prays) should start to pray his own personal prayer.
Any praying person should start to pray in his own personal way that is in the way which he has been taught to pray from his parents or community which one belongs. Therefore, in my writings I will not be able to show everyone how to pray or start praying, because I will only be able to pray my own way; and therefore, you must try to use your own ways of praying.
Now, since most of my prayers in my writings will be direct to our Father God Most High; in order to keep to the highest focal point for all world religions to agree: Just because I happen to be a Roman Catholic person, I am going to use the most important opening way that a Roman Catholic person uses when they start praying, so, the opening prayer or first link in my personal case to our Father Most High is the sign of the cross, which is the sign of the Holy Trinity as this clearly is stated in the words, The-Father, The-Son and the Holy-Spirit. Of course there are also other ways on how to start praying to God our Father, which is whatever one religious person is using as opening prayer in his own religion as I have said above. It is also possible for anybody to pray going through smaller deities and saints and I will talk about these prayers in a chapter later on.
But now let me go back to the prayer written above that I have just prayed and how I feel, since I have prayed God for forgiveness and reconciliation: I can tell you that I feel more confident that God will hear my prayers, not only for my reconciliation, but also for help and otherwise, and in his own ways through the guiding force of The-Holy-Spirit God will help me write my religious writings, which are the most important part of my writings here. And God would also help me with my personal wants and needs, which they are mostly to keep me safe and healthy and to keep safe and in good health all the members of my family.
So now my dear readers allow me just for a moment to talk about my own personal needs, because as a human being this is one of the main reasons why I started writing about religion, and I am still writing these religious writings here. Therefore because I need some personal help right now, what I am going to write here would be my personal prayer to our Father God Most High, in the hope that God would hear my prayers, and so would help me by granting my earthly requests.
I believe that for God everything is possible to do, even those things that for us humans beings seem impossible to do, and I believe that as God is our heavenly Father He is very helpful, merciful and compassionate towards us, but we have to try to live according to His will and pray to Him if and when we need His help, so, we should turn to God and praying state our needs, even if what we want and what we need for us humans seems an impossible thing to humanly achieve.
Therefore as I have already said and let me say it again, another of the many reasons why I am writing here, it is because nowadays I need really help from God, since only God would be able to help me. I believe that I need God’s help right now, because there is illness in my family and the doctors don’t seem to find a good lasting cure, so, I have no other way but to turn to God and pray with all my heart, my soul and my mind, I am praying God just like most people would pray, but from the bottom of my heart I feel that I have to do more because of my special needs, in order to receive from God what I would like to have, and therefore, these writings that I am writing here are dedicated as my personal prayer to God Most High, in the hope that God would help me and grant me my earthly requests.
Now that I have partly explained to you the reasons for my personal needs, let me write the introductory explanation of my religious writings.
INTRODUCTORY EXPLANATION:
My dear reader whoever you might be; you may be asking yourself; why I have made up my mind to write these religious writings? Why I made this hard promise to God to write them? Why I am writing and wanting to write my religious writings anyhow? Especially that for me personally would be very hard to write them, since I am not a learned person, and religion is a very hard subject to write or explain. But if you were to feel that you have been called to write them, then, you would have to do it anyhow no matter how hard it is for you to do it. So, this is the way that I am feeling right now while I am writing here; You see I feel that I have been called to write my religious beliefs for many reasons, and many indeed are the reasons for which I am writing them, as you will see and understand if you read my religious writings.
Of course there are many other reasons and subject to explain, apart for what I have just written above in my preamble, there are also other extra personal reasons which have driven me to write them, and these reasons I am going to write down and explain them to you as soon as I find the right spot in my writings.
But at the moment, the most important reason for me wanting to write is that I feel it from within my soul that I have to write these religious writings, otherwise my soul tells me that I would not be doing what I have come to do on this planet earth. Therefore, I feel that if I don’t write my religious beliefs now; I have lived my earthly life accomplishing nothing worthwhile: Not only my soul is telling me to write my beliefs as a human being, but also because lately I have had a supernatural experience, which has given me personal proof that what we call the unseen spiritual world exists, and also of the existence of angels and other heavenly things, and from this supernatural experience I know that my writings have been noted from heaven above, because this angel has greeted me as the author of Reconciliation of the Universe. I will write about this supernatural experience at the beginning of that part of my writings called, Reconciliation of the Universe, as this would be the best way for my readers to understand the meaning of my experience. (And there I will also write a chapter where I am asking myself this question: Who are these angels?)
I think that what I am writing here could well be the beginning of the world religion of the future. So, I am going to call my religious writings: Modern World religious Reconciliation; because that’s what I would like my writings to achieve. As you all know that what’s happening in the religious world nowadays is shocking, as some religious leaders twist their religious meanings and instead of preaching peace they preach war, and so, something needs to be done to neutralize that.
Therefore this is another of the main reasons for me to write my views, as I believe that there are too many religions in the world, even though they may be similar they are somehow different to one another, so, their leaders tend to argue with one another, in the hope that they can impose their point of view of their own religious beliefs on the others; this makes religion itself look bad. So, in my religious writings by moving everything one step high and linking them together I hope to find the way how to neutralize that.
I feel that I have to write this as it is my duty as a human being to improve the present situation, and I am sure that from now on we (all the peaceful people of planet earth) will try to find a way together for world religious reconciliation: And my personal way that I am suggesting here is written in this my book including, Reconciliation of the Universe.
So, I am going to write my religious writings as my soul guides me, and also because of the sign that I have seen and also because of what has happened to me and my family, which sometimes makes me think that those things have happened for a reason, and therefore these happenings have driven me to write. Therefore what I am writings here is being written as my personal prayer to God Most High.
And now I feel that I have to pray God to help me to write them as I am not a good writer; so, let me pray. And I prayed.

Prayer of Reconciliation

Prayers, chapter 3

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN CREATED TO HOUSE OUR THEORY OF RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION

YOU ARE INVITED!
You are invited to browse and take part in the discussions that follow.

CHAPTER 3


LET ME STATE IF I MAY, WHAT ARE MY BELIEFS?

I believe that there is only one God throughout the universe, and He is the Creator and master of the whole universe, and therefore He is also the eternal positive and active life-force that keeps the whole universe alive, and guides the whole universe with his greater wisdom.

I believe in this God-Most-High who is the eternal unseen life-force that guides the whole universe, even though I could not see Him. And I believe also that the whole universe is full of many seen and unseen active things, and even though I cannot see these unseen active things I know that they are there and they are working together in a parallel way with the seen things; therefore, they are helping each other in the never ending life cycle of the whole universe.

I believe that since God-Most-High is the active life-force of all living beings in the universe, from the largest to the smallest living being or thing; it follows that all the life-force of living beings or things to God they shall return when they die.

Therefore, I believe that through God-Most-High-life-force every living creature receives their gift of life when they are born, and at the end of their lives their life-force will return to God-Most-High-life-force, and there in the spiritual form they will stay waiting for next round, if and when there is a next round.

I have good reasons to believe that the following is true, because it is believed that within this parallel spiritual world the highest order of all living beings that return to God’s life-force, may one day, be judged according to their lives’ deeds that is if and when there is a real judgment day. To understand better what I believe and mean about judgment and salvation you need to read that part of my religious writings called ‘Reconciliation of the Universe’.

I believe that God our father is the Creator of everything and drives the whole universe as He likes, since any existing things in the whole universe belongs to Him, that is everything at all: Like the earth and everything on it; like the growing vegetation on land and in the sea; like all sorts of fishes and animals, and all mankind irrespective to where a person is born and to which race that person belongs; and He is also the master of the stars and all other celestial planets, and all celestial beings material or spiritual in the whole universe. You will understand my own views of how God-life-force is everywhere in the universe at the same time, when you read my theory about the living God-life-force of the universe, in my writings of Reconciliation of the Universe.

I believe that God is our heavenly father and to Him we should turn for help when we need any help, this makes sense, because we have to believe that since any good father loves to help his own children; it should follows that God who is the best father of them all should like to help us more than anyone of us thinks possible, and that would happen only if we turn to God our Father and praying ask for his help; let us not forget that!

Therefore during our lives, let us always pray God our Father whenever we feel threatened helpless or concerned about ourselves and also for the rest of the world, and also when we need his guidance or help, in order to do the right things and live according to God’s will.

As it happens just now I feel like that I need to pray God for help, since I feel concerned with this struggle that’s taking place within myself, which is like this: While I struggle within my mind with these thoughts, I keep asking myself whether or not I have to write these religious writings, not only because I am not a writer and it is not going to be easy for me to write them; but also because I foresee that I could encounter many problems while I am writing them right now, and also in the future only because I have written them.

So, I may as well start praying God hoping that God would help me overcome my concerns!

Now, let me explain myself here, where I stand in relation to these religious writings and my own background; just because I am a Roman Catholic born I have been taught to pray like one, and therefore, I have only been able to modify my ways of praying to a certain extend through my own beliefs. So, today I am praying to the living God who is the active God-Life-Force of the whole universe thus:


THIS IS MY OPENING PRAYER.

In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy-Spirit, I am praying and humbly asking you God-Most-High and Eternal Merciful Father for your help. I am praying because I feel from within my heart that I have been called to write these religious beliefs, and that I should write them in order to help humanity understand my own religious beliefs. So, Father if it is your will and you would want me to write them; then you would have to help me, because I would not be able to write them without your help.

So, first of all I pray you Father to let your guiding force guide me to write the right things in these religious writings, and then, because I am concerned about writing them for my own safety, help me overcome my concerns and fears about writing them.

Father, hear my prayer and help me to write them, and also help me to overcome my concerns and fears! Amen.


THESE ARE MY CONCERNS, STRUGGLES AND FEARS.

Just by thinking about what I would like to write in my religious writings I feel very concerned, because in order to say and achieve what I want to say and achieve, I have to break free from some very old religious traditions, which for centuries and even thousands of years have been observed very closely from most religious leaders and believers. So, for me to come out suddenly and break free from the old religious traditions would be shocking to everybody to say the least. Therefore, for this very reason I am also concerned that the whole world may hate me for writing them, and for the same reason they may not accept my religious views easily.

Therefore, first and foremost I have to be strong in my own beliefs if I have to write them, and I have to believe that it is God’s will that I have to write these religious writings, since I feel that God has sown in me this seed of wanting to write them. So, I pray God to help me and guide me in this hard task.

In order to give an explanation to the present state of religious things, I am inclined to believe that the reasons for the present religious traditions for being as they are and for being left unchanged for so long has been because people have always had a great fear to change them. Of course without a doubt there have been good reasons not to change them until now, and there have been also many reasons of convenience not to change them until nowadays.

But as we all know, there is a right time and a wrong time for doing anything, and even though in the past it would have been right not to change any of these religious traditions, nowadays it would be wrong not to change or upgrade them at all.

Because nowadays old religious traditions start looking a bit strange, because nowadays we view thing different in our mind eyes, the reason why we have this different view it is because we perceive them in a different way, and the reason for perceiving them in a different way it is because in today’s world things are changing very rapidly compared to the old times, and this is changing our way of thinking and perceiving things. These changes that are taking place now are going to change even faster in the future.

Therefore, if we think about it and make use of our minds to reflect about what’s really happening now, we will begin to understand that with the passing of time everything will change even those things that for a very long time we believed could never change and would never change. Therefore today we find ourselves in a position that needs adjustment for the future and this includes also existing religious beliefs: So, in order to make the right adjustments everything should be reviewed and adjusted to suit the present time and also the future times; otherwise soon or later the existing old religious ways would not make any real sense to the present world generations and even less sense to the future generations. Now, if religion does not make good sense to the believers they would not believe in religion, and therefore there is a good chance that they could even abandon religion altogether.

Therefore, I believe that the time has come when existing religious beliefs cannot stay any longer as they are now, and those persons like me who believe in God and religion have got to do something about it to ensure that religious beliefs last forever.

These actions that we have to take now have become necessary in order to secure the future for religions, even if we find it hard to modify them. We need to do this now, because human evolution has reached a very advanced stage, and I dare say that humanity these days start to question the present religious system, because nowadays we are living in the age of reason, where the human mind perceives lots more things than we used to understand in the past, and through these extra understanding that we have, we often like to believe that our minds can guide us to overcome anything in our way with or without God’s help.

Then we are also living in the age of the computer, which enable us to learn things a lot faster than ever before. Because of this computer devise some of the people on earth are becoming very learned and intellectually advance faster than ever before, and through this acquired knowledge, they sometimes ask themselves what’s the use of religion nowadays, because they are able to perceive that these existing religious traditions don’t fit very well the needs of the people in nowadays world; therefore, if this leading group of people, or part of this leading group of people are not fast religious believers, they may have a point to say that religious traditions have become useless beliefs.

So, in order to avoid this happening to religions and ruin ourselves in the eyes of God, we who believe in God and religion as it is now and as it has been from the beginning of times, nowadays we know that we have to do something about it, because it is obvious that we need to modify religions and make religions fit the needs of this present generation and also the future generations.


Now let me talk about these religious writings review.

Dear reader and believer, first of all, I would like to inform you that the following religious writings review are going to be according to the existing religious beliefs; because they are not trying to change anything from the existing beliefs at all, and in fact they are being written in order to consolidate in a collective way what I believe is known today, so that existing religious beliefs may have a better chance to survive and be useful for future generations. So, don’t expect much change from these reviews, even if sometimes they may seem to you that they are not completely according to the existing religious beliefs.

Personally I believe or at least I hope that God likes the idea that I should write my religious writings, since a strange event has happened to me, as I personally have proof to believe that I have been greeted from an angel from heaven as the author of Reconciliation of the Universe; I am saying this because there is no other possible explanation for what I have heard and seen. This special encounter I am going to write fully at the beginning of the part of these religious writing which I call Reconciliation of the Universe.

Because of this encounter, I believe that God is going to help me write my religious writings of Reconciliation of the Universe in his own ways. I am saying this, because I know that for me is not going to be easy to write them as I am only a simple unlearned man, so, only with the help of God I may be able to write these writings.

You see I seem to get in all sorts of trouble when I try to write anything at all, and I get in far more trouble when I want to write important things like religion, because while I am trying to write about God’s things I end up writing my personal things. You see both these two subjects are too closely related for me as an unlearned and untrained human being, and the only thing that I would be able to do is to try and keep them separate as much as I can, so that it would make it easier for me to write them, and for you my readers to understand what I intend to say. May God help me while I write them!

Therefore now, since I believe that I have no other choice; but to write my religious writings since I have seen this angel from heaven who greeted me as the author of, Reconciliation of the Universe, I believe that it would be very foolish of me if I don’t write my religious beliefs now. So, let me just go ahead and write them, and may God help me!

I believe that God’s things are very important to express properly, so, let me say a prayer to God-Most-High, which is the highest and the holiest positive life-force of the whole universe, so that He would help me express myself the best way I can, before I can start to talk about any religious matter and my own personal needs.

I believe first of all that I should really try to be worthy to pray for what I want from God. So, first I have to pray God to forgive me my sins, so that I’ll be reconciled with God life force and therefore I would become worthy to pray to Him; and then I could pray and ask God what I would like personally to have, or be helped with.

So, let me pray my personal prayer of reconciliation to our merciful and Heavenly Father God Most High who is also the collective positive life force of the whole universe.

This is my personal prayer of reconciliation, in order to live my life according to thy will:

Prayers, chapter 2

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN CREATED TO HOUSE OUR THEORY OF RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION

Prtayers of Reconciliation
Prayers, chapter 2

YOU ARE INVITED!
You are invited to browse and take part in the discussions that follow.

CHAPTER 2

After a very long time and reflections about this God sent task that seems to be within me all the time and never lets me go; I have come to the conclusion that perhaps I could never find peace within myself unless I fulfill my desire to write about these religious beliefs, so, I have decided to talk to my friends again, in the hope that they now may have come to see my task in a more favorable way.

So I called them to let them know that I would like to see them again on this religious subject whenever they have spare time, I have been waiting for them for a while now, while I have been waiting I thought that it could be a good thing to write down the reasons why I started to write these religious writings.

Then I started to think that one of the reasons was/is, that I see God somehow different from everybody else, now that I have said it, I need to explain what I think God may be like, in the hope that the explaining of this article may help me to explain myself better to my reader and to friends and win their consent.

I suppose you may be asking yourself why this has happened to me, so, let me first inform you my dear readers the reason why I started to write these religious writings; well it was for my own personal reasons which I will explain to you better later on, I have started to write these religious writings as my personal prayer to Our Father God Most High, therefore, these writings are being written as my personal prayers to God Most High, which I pray from the bottom of my heart, my soul and my mind, I pray every day of my life, while I am happy and while I am sad and distressed. Therefore within these writings here will be lots of prayers: In some of these prayers I’ll be praying God for forgiveness in order to become purified, and therefore become worthy to become God’s servant and therefore to write God’s things; and then again in another prayer I’ll be invoking help from God so that I would be able to write my religious writings the proper way, and in some prayers I will be asking God to protect me from the forces of evil; because the force of evil may try to take me away from God’s life force, therefore it is important for me to beware the forces of evil and pray God to help me.

So, just now I am praying God to send me an angel from the realm of glory, who would suggest me how to write something about God’s Creation and the Creator Glory, so that I could be inspired and be able to continue to write my religious writings.

This is what came to my mind; I have to define who is God and what God is like and why we need religion and God?

I have to stop writing now, because I can hear somebody at the door, I can hear the voices of my friends, so they are here now.


Third Meeting

After greeting and all other niceties that occur every time good friends meet, I Mark and Gino made ourselves comfortable and started to talk about the agenda of the meeting, and I asked them;

So, you have come just the two of you because any other friend does not want to take part in these religious talks?

What is the matter with them?

Don’t they see that we are talking only and nothing is happening?

Anyhow that does not matter; perhaps we are better off without them if they worry too much about changing religious things.

Now tell me, what do people said when you have talked to them about God and religion lately?

Here Mark was ready to answer me; and this is what he said:


Mark reply

Well, most of them are not interested about talking religious things, and those who are have expressed themselves in many different ways:

(1) Some people believe in God and religion just the way it is, this portion of people do not want any change in religion, so they are happy to stay with the ways religions are nowadays. It is no use to talk to them unless you agree fully with their religious beliefs.


(2) There is a portion of people that have doubts about nowadays religions, some of which don’t feel sure whether what is being thought about religion is all true, so, they are believers but with a little doubt in their mind and heart. You can talk to this group of people but they are not much help, if you want to find new ideas.

(2b) Right in the middle there is this large group of people, which believe in God and religions only up to a point, these people usually are full of all sorts of questions, as they would like to know more, in the hope that they can return to religion fully.

(2c) The extreme in this middle group is formed by those who believe very little in religion as it is today, so, they are asking too many questions themselves about religions, they are agnostic as they believe and at the same time don’t believe, one does not know what to do with this group, and yet they are the most interesting ones. That is all there is in this middle group.


(3) This last group I would call the danger group for religious beliefs, they are the atheist, they don’t believe in God and religions, so, for them it would be better if religions did not exist. They are usually very intelligent and have a good job, so for them there are no worries in life, therefore, they don’t see the need of god and religion. Therefore, this well to do group starts putting forwards all sort of stories in order to blame religion for some of the bad things they have done in the past, but they don’t see that mankind have only to blame themselves, because no religion tells its believers to directly kill. Then there is also the fact that a few in this group are poor uneducated people and they don’t believe in God just to protest their bad luck, as they are not happy about what the world is giving them, so, they see the need to believe only in themselves; now, because of this belief they may become the worst of mankind, as they don’t have any respect for humanity, and also they don’t have a God or religion or any other sort of inbuilt restrain within them. I could say more but I think it is better that I stop here and see what you do think about it all. I only would like to add that what I have learned from all this enquiries; and I want you to remember how I see religion now, as this may well be important from now on, if we are talking religious things;

Remember that;

Religion and God is hope for those who need hope most.



Very well said Mark! I said, and so did Gino at the same time.


Then I turned to Gino, and said: Now that we have heard what mark had to say, what do you think of his speech? And what have you found out for yourself, it is your turn to speak.


Gino speech:

I have to say that Mark and I agree on most of these religious things, so there is no point in repeating them, I only would like to say a bit more about the last group of people who we call the atheists, as they need to be noted about their ways of thinking and speeches, any believer should avoid to talk to any of them about religious matters, because soon or later they are inclined to ridicule your religious beliefs, they are usually good intelligent people, so it is hard for any religious people to defend themselves from this group.

They attack believers usually by asking proof of any religious matter, so Mark is right when he calls them the danger group of religious beliefs. We really need to think hard how to defend ourselves from this group, Let me show you a few examples about what they usually talk to get the believers off guard.


You believers say that God is Omnipotent, now if God is omnipotent then god should be capable to do anything at all no matter how difficult the task is.

Now, there are many things in the world that need to be fixed, why your god does not fix them? We say that your God most likely does not exist; or he is definitely not omnipotent, or he is not willing to fix anything, so your god is not your fatherly benevolent god that you say he is. Therefore your religious beliefs are flawed.

We say that we are right to assume that there is no God and religions are there only to control people, now since religions fight with each others, it would have been better if religions did not exist.


This sort of reasoning goes on with many gods attributes and they challenge the believers to give proof of the existence of God and its attributes. So it is hard for any believers to give proof of God and its attributes. How can any believers give proof about God?

And god omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and many other God attributes?

For the atheists God and religion is better it does not exist.

What can one do to change their attitude I don’t know?

I hope I have explained myself clear enough in this difficult report.


Your speech is clear enough for me I said; then I turned to Mark and asked: what do you think of Gino speech mark? His speech is very clear for me too; in fact it is just about what I would have liked to say myself. But now, where do we go from here I don’t Know?

O.K. I suppose I need to say something myself now.


MY SPEECH (Fran)

And this is what I said: Mark and Gino, now that you have seen for yourselves what religious people think and what atheist think, I am sure that you might start thinking more like me, which is that something needs to be done to help religions find a way of complete peaceful existence.

To achieve complete peaceful existence is not easy the way religions are today, therefore, I believe that religions need to be reviewed and bought in line with the present times; but nobody wants to listen to my approach, so there is not much that one can do presently; but one can always start thinking about the possibilities, if one day something can be done to solve this religious problem.

The only way that this can be achieved is to come up with a theory, which allows the existence of religions as they are; but at the same time finds a way and shows it clearly to the people that all religions are a link of the same chain. I know this is not as simple as it sounds, but if we keep looking we will find the way.

I have found that there was a philosopher called, Baruch Spinoza, 1632-1677 who believed that it is more likely that God may not be just the way that religions want you to believe nowadays; but it could be that God was more like Mother Nature therefore it is more likely that we all are part of God and God is everything or at least every living thing in existence.

Now if God could not be exactly how we believe god is like; then it may well be that God is more like what Spinoza believed god was like, this may very well be the link that we need to find in order to link all existing religions together.

Then if we think a bit like Spinoza and add to knowledge which we have today, we might be able to describe a god which could co-exist with all religions together.

So, let us put out minds together and see if we can describe this God for all; which we could call God-Most-High.

My friends Mark and Gino said; yes let us make a list of how god could be; just to see if we are able to find a way to Spinoza thinking about, what is God?

Well I said; a while ago I was thinking this same thing, so I have already written something about, what is God? So here is what I wrote:


What is God?


God-Most-High is the unseen life force of the whole universe.

The unseen cosmos and God is one and the same thing.

God uses this cosmos to communicate with everything.

So, throughout the unseen cosmos of the whole universe,

God-Life-Force continually gives life to every living thing.

The cosmos radiates God’s medium for every living thing,

And God hopes that through it man would follow Him.

So, happy should be those who are able to follow Him.

For those who do, God has promised them eternal life.

So, follow God’s rules and you will save yourself forever.

But if you don’t; you would not find your way to salvation.


At this point my friends were astonished and were reflecting what I had written, and then they said; Fran, this god you are talking about could indeed overcome most if not all obstacles, which nowadays exist in religions. Of course that can only happen if religions are willing to accept this new way of seeing god, and also are ready to change a little bit.

But now we are wondering how we could describe this god and say who is God, not just what is God?

We are willing to help while we are here.

Then, we started to work together on the definitions below, hoping that we would be able to explain who is God? Or at least try to explain who is God?


WHO IS GOD?

So, let me briefly describe the grandeur of God of the Universe.


There is only one true existing God throughout the universe.

This God is the positive active life-force of the whole universe.

Every living being or thing is part of this God life force.

No living thing can exist without God, since God is life itself.

Therefore, God is the life essence of the whole universe.


The grandeur of God is seen in the creation of every existing thing.

That is where God’s masterpiece is the creation of us human beings.

God loves us human beings because we act and are very much like him.

Since we are the top of all earthly life and God is at the top of everything.

But God’s greatest grandeur is shown in his mercy for us all human beings.


LET US JUST IMAGINE:

If created things would speak for themselves what would they say about God?

When at night I look at the sky and at the stars, I would like to ask the stars;

Tell me you beautiful stars, who is God? Order those stars will answer me.

When in the gardens I see all these beautiful flowers, I would like to ask those flowers;

Tell me you beautiful flowers, who is God? Beauty those flowers will answer me.

If all living things and animals on earth were able to think, what would they say about God? They would say that God is life, since God has given life to them and to all human beings.

If I were able to meet the wise leaders of the world, I would like to ask those leaders;

Tell me you wise leaders of the world, who is God? I am sure that most of them will answer me: God is the active life-force that guides the whole universe; God is wisdom, God is order, God is beauty, God is life, and God is love; God loves every living thing because every living thing is a part of God Himself; but above all He loves us human beings because we resample Him, and in his great love and mercy He will forgive us all our life sins, if only we would repent and ask Him forgiveness; because God loves us beyond any human understanding, since He is our Father and we are all his chosen children, whether we are rich or poor, whether we are healthy or sick, whether we are wise or stupid, whether we are young or old, whether we come from Africa, Asia or from anywhere in the world and our skin is different color, we are all the same to God. Therefore, it would be right for us to assume that we are God’s children and that God loves all of us; but at the same time during our lives we have to learn what God has done for us in the past, so that we may be able to understand our own situation.

The sacred book of the Bible, which is the book that many religions of the world have come from is full of many things, which God has done for us according to the writers of that time, and if we apply our intelligent minds and learn from it, we would be able to understand about the great love that God has for us, since God has send us many great people to guide the human race, from Moses to our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we all know there are a few religions that have come from the teaching of the Bible, and I will try to comment on these religions later on. What I want to mention now is the fact that in his love for us, God has sent to us the Savior Our Lord Jesus Christ, who during his short life on earth has showed us by his own life example the way that we should live our own life, if we want to live our lives according to God The Father.


Having done so much work at this meeting we all were feeling tired, I was thinking that we did not even mention anything about the last meeting, which ended while we were talking the very end of the Bible and what it meant: but anyhow we have done enough this third meeting, so I never said anything to my friends about that and went along with them, so we stopped our religious meeting and spend the rest of the time as friends usually do, having a drink together and chatting light enjoyable small talks.


JUST PLEASANT EMAIL SURPRISES

The day after the third meeting I checked my email and found just what could be helpful to these religious writings; my friend who wants to be called on the Internet Frank@yahoo has written a post in a blog that we share, also with Manfraco Laws, so what I am writing here is the reply to those emails:

Therefore, this is the continuation of the blog therewith; edited by Manfraco, this is also a reply to the post of Frank@yahoo and other matters that have come up recently:

The post in the blog called, Religious Reconciliation, my fried Frank@yahoo express his concerns about religious matters, he is saying in his own clear ways that he agrees with me, because his concerns are mostly like my own concerns on religious matters. So, now I feel relieved from his agreement, and I am more willing to continue my search about my own idealistic world Religious Reconciliation and how to achieve that, no matter how long it is going to take me to get it started.

Frank@yahoo believes that religions are going to face hard times in the near future; and this is part of what he wrote in his post:

<>

Frank@yahoo also believes that it is very important to keep religions, as close as possible the way they are, because, RELIGION AND GOD IS HOPE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST, I believe he is right, so, I don’t need to question myself which side to take, I know that I am a religious person and that I will follow religion, as there is a deep belief within me. I know that atheists seem to be able to win the case, if we look only at simple ways of reasoning, because what they say stands up to reason.

I believe that if all religions find a way to get together the atheists could not win the case, because their case is based mostly on the fighting that those religious extremist exercise, so we need to find a way how all existing religions could live in a peaceful way.

Since I have opened this blog, I have always thought that if I had some religious links, which express the willingness of any religious leader to find the way to religious reconciliation I would post them in my blog.

Today I have some good news about that, because I received an email with links from the Vatican, with request and permission that I could use those links in my blog.

Those links are about music from the Vatican, I know it does not sound much to start with, but it is a start and I am posting then hereunder, so that anybody can see and hear and enjoy what is going on. I hope they work.

Thanks to Peter Ruppert from the Vatican, here are the links including some explanations:


Music project on behalf of Geffen/Universal.

The project is called Music From The Vatican link below;

http://www.musicfromthevatican.com

The album is entitled Alma Mater and is recorded in the honor of the Virgin Mary.

To find out more about this project immediately, please view this YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/musicfromthevatican

Feel the grandeur of god’s creation on earth; see what they do at the Vatican, feel the great love that the Virgin Mary has for us all and many other things, it is very exciting and beautiful, so it is worth to give it a go.

I have to say that what interests me most is the fact that the pope is going to meet another religious leader, and in doing so he may start the process of reconciliation.

God bless you all.


This last article above is to show you what may happen, it was not my intention to write it here in the first place, but because is very religious I have included it here.


I hope to have another meeting soon with my friends Mark, Gino and others, but while I wait I may as well write something all by myself.
