The ‘Bible’ or the ‘Holy Book of your Faith’ that you are ‘Currently Learning about ‘God’ from in Today’s World’, is between 2,000 and 3,000 or more years old. It is the same ‘God’ that is here with us in ‘Today’s World’. ‘That God, Your God, Has Not Changed’. What has changed is the ‘Culture of Humanity, Over That Period of Time’. ‘God presented ‘Himself’ to the people of those times in a manner that they could conceptualize, understand, and accept’, with them often having a very limited ability to fully comprehend ‘Him or His Teachings’ due to the lack of information that was available to them. Humanity was just beginning to organize and develop a definable culture for themselves, and they were just becoming certain that they had a ‘God’ and that in ‘Reality’ there was ‘Only one God’. What they were trying to learn from what ‘God was teaching them’ and what ‘His Prophets were trying to convey to them about God’ was an overwhelming amount of new information, and difficult to decipher and precisely understand. Is it any wonder that some of that information was simply over their heads because it was being presented to them in a manner that lacked clarity and left too much room for misinterpretation. It was being presented as a story or a parable in which the listener had to determine the intent of the message being presented.
You are living in ‘Today’s World, with Today’s Several Diverse Cultures’, all of those ‘Diverse Cultures’ have not evolved at the same pace. Therefore, they often embrace different and sometimes even what appear to be conflicting perspectives of ‘Our Shared God, the One and Only God’ of this Universe.
Let us take comfort in knowing that more than 5.7 billion people in those same ‘Diverse Cultures’ are in agreement with each other on the ‘Core Values’ of their ‘God’ and that he is the ‘One’ and ‘Only God’ of this Universe’, they all also agree that ‘God’ wants each of us ‘His Faithful’ to: ‘Strive to Live a Righteous Life of Love and Shared Kindness with each other, while always striving to do only that which is Right and that which is Just’.
It is good to know that 5.7 billion people already believe in that same God, and his ‘Core Values’ that he wants us to live by. Those are the same exact values that God wants us to use in creating our ‘New World Culture’ and use in fulfilling ‘God’s Request’ that we bring all of his ‘Diverse Churches’ together to ‘Worship Him your God, the One and Only God’ as One Church, “La Propia Iglesia de Dios”, or translated into another language “God’s Own Church” the name will have that same exact meaning when translated correctly, into all other languages! By becoming United as One Church it will help People from all parts of the world, to realize how many we are, and understand that we all want to Live in Peace, in a World Culture with all other people who would like to live with us in a ‘New World Culture’ that has been built on ‘God’s Core Values’.
‘God’ desires that all of ‘His Faithful’ take the time and make the effort to enroll in and take ‘Social Science’ classes that are offered in the colleges closest to their homes or online if they are made available. Social Science classes study how people interact and behave in society, and how these interactions influence the world. These classes also inform us about our natural emotions and how to understand and control them. This knowledge helps to clarify ‘God’s intentions and clarify many more details and insights on how ‘God’ wants us to live these lives and values that he gave us. ‘God’ is not afraid of ‘His Faithful’ learning, about what he already knows will only help them to have an even ‘Stronger Faith’ in him as their ‘God’, and as their ‘Creator’!
The more ‘God’s Faithful’ learn about themselves, their shared behaviors, and human nature, from those Social Sciences, the easier it becomes for them to see things from ‘God’s’ perspective. God already knows and has always known everything that those Social Sciences teach. God knew how his ‘Living Energy Human Creations’ would think, feel, and react to different situations even as he was creating them. He also knew how our evolution would progress. That is why ‘God’ is with us as we evolve and grow mentally, one step at a time. He cannot teach us what we were not properly prepared for, or capable of learning, from information that simply wasn’t available to us at that point in our culture. That is why ‘God’ is so ‘Forgiving’!
The new information you learn from the ‘Social Sciences will be beneficial in your general understanding of Humanity, Yourself, and Your God, which in turn gives you a new perspective, a more informed perspective which will assist you to better understand God’s intent when speaking about many different aspects of life. That information will also make it possible for people to become more forgiving ‘If there is still Hope’, in reconciling many of life’s difficult situations.
If ‘what you are reading or hearing’ in the news media, from your political leaders, your clerical leaders, or even your friends doesn’t feel like what is ‘Right’ to you, in your mind and your heart, and you feel that this is something that ‘Your God would not put his blessing on and support it’, then ‘Pray and Talk with your ‘God’ directly’ and then, ‘believe in and follow ‘His’ council’.
If you follow ‘God’s Suggestions’ and broaden your personal knowledge gained from studying, and having more reliable information available, you will have a clearer understanding of what ‘God’s intent is when he tells us, to live a life of ‘Love’, Kindness, Understanding and Forgiveness. God’s intent when discussing those things depends a lot on each specific situation you are faced with. It is very similar when ‘God’ tells us to do only that which is ‘Right’ and ‘Not to do that which is ‘Wrong’. Because of what ‘God’ put into your mind, heart, and soul, at the same moment ‘He gave you your Life’, You will usually know immediately what is ‘Right’ and what is ‘Wrong’, but depending on the specific situation, that additional information you have gained makes it much easier to make your decision more in line with what ‘God’ had intended.
God’s commandments are very similar, and yet very different. The additional information you have gained may help you to decide your guilt or innocence in your mind, but ‘God’ very possibly might not agree, because ‘God’ is all knowing, ‘God knows your true feeling which may be something very different from your selfish justification for your actions’. However, when it comes to obeying God’s commandments, ‘Only God will know the absolute truth. Because in this case it all depends on the ‘Intent’ in your mind, heart, and soul at the time of the infraction’. A juror may have difficulty deciding, but God will not, God knows exactly what was in your mind, heart, and soul. God has already shared with You, ‘His Knowledge’ of that which is Right and that which is Wrong’!
Normally it will be best to follow your instinctive feelings of ‘Right and Wrong’, and ‘Just and Unjust’ that ‘God” put in your Heart, Mind, and Soul, at the same moment that ‘He, Your God’ gave you this ‘Life’!
All of this is the reason that God has given you, ‘God’s Concise 21st Century Bible’. It provides his ‘Living Energy Human Creations’ with more Information, and more Truth as to what are ‘God’s Desires for ‘His Children and their Lives while Living together with Him on this Earth’.
God understands that life sometimes comes at you very fast, therefore it is difficult not to make mistakes, but he forgives the mistakes and reminds you in that same moment, ‘that you learn as much from those mistakes, as you learn from getting things right’. What God wants is that ‘You keep trying to get everything right and try not to make the same mistake over and over’. Know in your heart not to worry in excess because ‘God is always right there with you, helping you to learn from getting things both right and wrong’, and “Tomorrow is a new Day!”
