We have but one life and one world. From the beginning man has proclaimed war against his brother. It all started with Cain, after Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden and has continued on to this day. We all pray for peace but we are quick to go to war. Even religions fight amongst them selves. This is a needless shame and Our Holy Father did not put us here to fight with one another our purpose is to love God and one another as we love our selves. Year after year we strip our mother Earth of her life giving natural resources, wasting what God has given us to sustain life. Mankind is vain to think this Earth is just for him, we must share it with the Animal and Plant kingdom, without them life on this Earth would not be possible.
Every thing has purpose and we are not one to decide what should live or die. We are not God but we are just a part of his mighty Gods creation. Every thing on this Earth possess a soul and a spirit from the biggest creature to the smallest Ant. From the first second a life has been conceived it posses a spirit and a soul . There for any time a life has been taken whither it be human or animal it is still murder . The scriptures say thou shalt not kill ! Every creature wither it be great or small has a right to live. Violence covers the face of this earth. And its up to each and every single person to put an end to it. Violence breeds violence but love doesn't always produce love. But we can end this cycle of violence with in our selves.
When some one insults us we do not have to bring our selves down to their level. You can not change what is in that persons heart but you can help them to change what is in their own heart. The Bible tells us to turn the other cheek why? Because when some one hits you in retaliation our first impulse is to strike them back one blow leads to another and back and forth it continues. But by not returning the blows but offering a few kind words it stops the violence in its tracks. Then to clear our own hearts of anger we must forgive that person for their transgressions. Do not let their sin become your sin.
Forgiveness is divine. Many non Bible religions teach these same laws. Could it be that God by any other name is still God. Study your history and look at how the world has progressed over the century's all the wars and needless blood shed! And for what? Power money. None of that will do you any good in the grave. If you live your life in search of riches then there will always be some one there to take it. A poor man can be just as happy as a rich man. As long as you have a place to lay your head and food to feed your family and love and inner peace and good health then you are a very rich person. A person who lusts after more and more finds it hard to hold on to what they do have. It is useless to spend our lives wanting things that we are never going to have instead we need to work on keeping the things that have all ready been given to us.
Every thing on this Earth happens for a reason. We blame every thing that happens to us either on God,Satan or another person. We are not willing to take the blame for our own actions. Some cultures believe in karma. And why not the Bible says you reap what you sow. One bad deed can change our lives forever. Nothing goes unpunished. One lie leads to another one and keeps building when all is said and done the truth will always emerge.
There are two sets of commandments in the bible both (Exodus, chapter 20 and 34) are very important GOD gave us the laws to protect us not only from each other but from the land its self. This world does not belong to us it belongs to GOD as we also belong to God. GOD is all loving all powerful GOD is a powerful dynamic energy a divine spirit which our simple minds can not comprehend its not meant for us to under stand it in this life time but to just do as God has commanded us to do. All will be revealed to us after our resurrection. This life is a learning experience to prepare us for our next journey. But we must first prove our selves worthy of such a reward. When Jesus gave his life up for us. It was to save us from eternal damnation with out his loving sacrifice gave us the chance to earn ever lasting life with out Jesus all would have been lost. We are all made in GOD 's image not physical image but spiritual image.As mankind loves and hates GOD also loves and hates but to compare it to mans emotions would have to multiply that to infinity. GOD can be a loving, forgiving, or even vengeful, the bible tells us this about him these are just a few of the many verses that tell us about GOD who he is how he feels his temperament. These verses were taken from the R.S.V. Holy Bible Mankind is known best for our jealousy but where do we get it from? We are formed in gods spiritual image. Even God him self is jealous
