Again I say Nature is All Beginning and All Ending!

(Bruegel)

Religion can create a new understanding and an eternal love inside, yet in some it can create hate, anger and vengence. Religion has help to organize many to help feed the poor, yet it has also caused the deaths of many. It can be such a beautiful experience and yet it can be the most horrific. What has your religion done? Ask yourself this question. Is your faith gentle, kind , compassionate, loving, understanding, tolerant? OR is it one that has killed worldwide, taught intolerance, gained political control, is it still killing, can you really be proud of your faith? Well for some this questioning has never come into thought. Most religions had times in history of killing , however in present time there are only a few still killing many people and practicing intolerance. Would you yourself ever want to rob another of their spiritual awareness by controlling it? Would you be so rash as to verbally condemn others because you think only your light is the true light? Is your light so bright it may be blinding you? Ask yourself these questions. See if you are being true to yourself or if your being true to something that could be hurting your true growth spiritually.

What about God ? First one must come to a major realization before the true soul searching begins. Man cannot interpret Gods Words. For God did not speak with scrolls or Commandments. The creator spoke with space, stars, Moon, Sun, Millions of Universes,Planets, Earth, Plant life, Animals, Humans, Minerals, Bacteria's, Cycles and Seasons and on and on and on. NOT with scrolls for man to interpret to create a male dominating society!!!! Whether one says God, God/dess, Buddha, the Isness, science and so on makes no mind. One must realize that if Man puts pen to paper and calls it Gods law than you know immediately it is controlling Mans Law and nothing but, though it has some good philosophy it is NOT the word of GOD. The Creator has no judgment, no fear, no hell awaiting you, no hatred. Creative Energy and the light frequencies creating are the purest love the Cosmic love that continues its love for itself to continue to create and never stop even if we no longer exist the love will continue to create. It is both positive and negative and human will choose to side with the positive or negative based on their actions upon each situation ,not the Creators. You are your own Judge and you will be harder on yourself than anyone or anything or any energy will be. You will know your rights and wrongs.

Nature is not evil, it is not good it just is. It will continue forever you can eliminate all humans and the creative energy will still flow. In order for the Cosmic love to be so strong it must have negative in order to appreciate the positive to the fullest.

To many people God is an excuse rather than an understanding. I know once one admits that Man CANNOT interpret the true Energy’s love and that holy writs are meant to only gain power over one's own spiritual soul that only then will one really find who their God is.

The mystery can be the great journey in all spiritual enlightenment but one must find it on their own and not base it on fear that they will not make it into the holy land all because man say’s so . The controlling Males who wrote the bibles are the true negative as they have tried to steal people’s spiritual lives by way of lies. This is a horrible crime!!

Now I am not saying it is wrong to be a Christian or Catholic BUT what I am saying is before becoming one you should discover this is your chosen religion based on your own internal search because you have been open minded to all other religions and found that the religion fits you, and not because you were forced to believe in it.

The bible has made it a point to make sure in much of it's scripture to say you have to have faith and to not question the word of God. This alone tells you then that it must be questioned. Reason being SPIRITUALITY is as different as each individual. This is why there is over 200 faith systems. No one can tell another what their spiritual being is and that they must believe. Worst of all to condemn people just because you question their invisible God. I mean to say my invisible God is better than yours. This is true insanity, especially when it has caused so much killing.

Native American Spirituality: "Respect for all life is the foundation." The Great Law of Peace

Every Religion should be able to practice without opression. This is true and most importantly should not practice this by causing fear into children.

Now the reason I titled this page as Biblical is that while the bible teaches tolerance in it it also teaches to people by obvious interpretation intolerance. Much of the scripture has been used by more than just religious zeolots to condemn, kill, and control. This was not Jesus' Teachings. Jesus never once said he was God or the only Son of God. He never taught to kill, murder, and oppress other's in the Lords name. If one follows the bible this is wonderful for them, yet this does not mean it is for everyone. We still today have people fighting in the Middle East trying to write each other out of the bible. Such intolerance is dangerous to all human souls. Christianity is a religion that is losing it's battle to convert and keep members. There is reason for this and one of the main reasons is the intolerance practiced by so many of its followers. This can lead us into more dangerous territory as it did in the Mid-Evil times to present in the Middle East. Was there ever a time since Christianity formed that other's weren't persecuted based solely on their interpretation of there own spiritual beliefs?

Exodus 22:18" Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". Now in the New Revised Standard Version it says " You shall not permit a female sorcerer to live." Now with this kind of scripture where is the religious Tolerance. No wonder so many still quarrel, fight and kill. This is something they claim God said. This kind of hatred is found throughout the bible. Yet many say well only the wierdo's would kill. Well how can the church say one must follow scripture yet then claim they do not t each murder.

1 Cor.14:34-36 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." Now if this isn't male ego horsecrap I don't know what is. Now I'm not real big on some of the woman's lib movement but with scripture like this we can see why it had to come about and was bound to come about.

1 Tim.2:11-15 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing." I'm willing to bet God nor Jesus really said this.

Rom.14:2 "For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs." Is this for real you are weak just cause you opt not to eat meat. Now I am mostly not a meat eater but I don't see why someone who eats the plants of earth is weak while someone who eats the meat of earth is strong. There is a scary pattern here of control.

Eph.6:5 "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ." Now here is where the bible teaches that even the slaves must obey their master as they would God. Slaves were killed if they did not follow the same faith as their masters. So slavery was well accepted by the Church. Hmmm more male control. BUT Didn't Jesus say no man shall have a master but him? Personally just cause man claims he did I would doubt that Jesus ever thought he was any mans master.

Dt.13:6 "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely , of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." This kind of scripture basically says all others shall be killed and stoned legally if they follow any other imaginary God/dess or anything other than their God. This is dangerous teachings.

Ok I think a pattern has been established and that pattern is one of control. Upon all Woman, Vegetarians, Slaves, Children, Herbalists. I could add more such as scripture relating it to be a sin to predict the future which means all meteroligists are sinners. I could go on and on. Now though lets get into the contradictions in the bible. Again remember it is great to find a religion that expresses your spiritual beliefs and religious tolerance should be practiced. I must however add this stuff because people should be aware of the stuff taught by a bible that so many follow, and some follow without ever once even reading it. Which is probably better to follow the teachings of the Historical Christ but better to not read mans interpretations of control.

Menstruation * Lev.15:19-30 "And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the evening. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the evening. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness." Hmmm sounds like animal sacrafice to me, how sad to kill a dove or pigeon all because a woman has her menstral cycle to make sure children are born yet they make it seem unclean, not holy and in need of animal sacrafice. Ya ok I'm sorry but that is absolutely male controlling dominating sickness, that enevitably would cause the extinction of pigeon's or doves.

Contradictions.

1 Sam.15:29 "The Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent." Now the contradiction Ezek.14:9 "And if a prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet."

Ex.2:25 "And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them." Contradiction Rom.2:11 "For there is no respect of persons with God."

1 Sam.12:14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: AND : Dt.31:13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God. Contradiction:2 Tim.1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. YOU find much more about fearing the Lord than not. Now would the church like to explain how the bible teaches all this fear and to follow the scripture while it teaches to kill or be in vain. I mean people take their spirituality pretty seriously so is this not very very dangerous to teach? I think so. It seems according to the bible no one is safe.

1 Kg.22:21-22 "And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him .. I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him and prevail also; go forth and do so." Contradiction: Rev.21:8 "All liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." Ok which one is it lie for god or die a liar in the fire lake of brimstone for lying? Again these are characteristic traits in the bible of more contradiction.

Now how about the killings. Well ASA Killed over 1 Million Ethiopians, Abijah kill 500,000 Israelites, "because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. SO Pekah kills 120,000 people in one day, God sends the king of the Chaldees to kill all the "young men with the sword." He had "no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that \ stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.", God killed the women and children of Judah and smote the men with an incurable disease of the bowels until their "bowels fell out."

Now if "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is Gods Law where the heck does this really seem to matter to even God or his prophets in the Bible. No wonder this is still continuing behavior in the World.

The Church says movies, television, music, video games and such are graphic and aren't good for the people. Yet the bible has more graphic descriptions or death, murder, adultery and hell. Think about it we say today oh the kids watch to much violence or we need gun control laws. Oh ok but the children didn't wake up on any given day of the week to watch people burned, hanged, be headed, and smell of death all around them in the middle ages. I'm sorry movies and stuff are not to blame, nor guns, it is lack of parenting today and possibly bible school with this type of teaching. This all supports my point that religion should be well researched in ones own soul and not crammed down the throats of people especially children. Especially when it contains so much vegence and murder.

I'm goping to be blunt here and this is my firm opinion. For those of you who read this and try to say if you read the entire bible it really does not contradict itself I say" wrong". I was a Missionette for 3 years and before that went to Lutheran school and yet before that Catholic school. I used to win blue ribbons for learning the verses of the bible. When a bible is from people's visions, dreams, rememberances etc. IT WILL HAVE CONTRADICTIONS. If they try to smooth those contradictions out, and are using visions, dreams etc. then one must already realize it is not the word of GOD.

I have nothing more to say at this point. May add more in the future on this subject.
