Godliness and Religion
Godliness and religion is a topic I have tried in recent times to differentiate and convince other people about. Godliness, simply put, is a state of spiritual purity in consonance with what God originally designed Man to be. I have held the opinion for a few years now that religions are mere artificial creations designed to make people move towards Godliness and purity. I am convinced that no religion has been handed down by God to anybody, group or nation. Rather, God has given us a set of "dos and don'ts", such as the Ten Commandments, to make us attain purity and spiritualism. In an attempt to make people Godly, humans have created religions, which in turn have unwittingly created confusions, contradictions, hate, wars, and even atheists! This explains why we have more religions and religious houses while our spiritual attainment is moving on the downward trend. Imagine some Books quoting God as having a race or nation as His annointed, or God visiting the iniquities of the father on the children, while at the same time telling us that God is just and loving. Or what do we say of a religion that preaches the killing or maiming of "unbelievers" as if God was not capable of defending Himself or taking His own due revenge? Since God is foresighted, all-knowing, all-seeing, why would He keep changing His Laws or religions in response to changing circumstances as some religions want to make us believe? Since God is one and unchanging, why would the religion of Adam, Abraham, etc be different from our modern ones? The only reason is that religions are artificial creations of man. God is all the beautiful attributes ascribed to Him. Let no religions detract from them. |
