probably has something to do with ego.
it's taught me things that i needed to know, and that have helped me greatly.
Or they know that god is actually a fabrication of their respective religions?
Does it teach you all you need to know?
you mean, fear of the unknown? seems to me that many people can't stand to say "i don't know", and to humble themselves to a higher power. maybe it's a lack of faith, so they feel the need to be in control, instead of allowing god to be in control.
No, I mean that those who profess to know what gods will is actually do because they fabricated the very notion of gods will in the first place.
i'm doing ok so far.i don't think we'll ever stop learning.
That's not a real answer to my question. Does god teach you everything you need to know?
do you mean the notion of god's existence, or god's will? i don't think anyone knows god's will in detail. and i think it's a waste of precious time trying to figure that out. i mean, for what reason? to predict the future? so they can be right? it's egotistical.
yeah.
His existence and therefor his will.
So if you have an algebra test and you haven't studied will god teach you that?
hm...i think it's obvious that for some people that is true, but it's not true for others, like me. i didn't rely on religion to conger up the idea of god's existence, or to prove it to me, and neither do a lot of other people.
makes sense to me
seems if the garden is where we came from, then i put my bet we find the boss in dare (to me, the boss is all of existence at the same time)
mass, energy, time...........Get MET
(understanding the 'process' enables the comprehension of life (existence itself/god))
many have their foundation, beliefs, philosophy
that be what i base all my understanding on, even if the scope over runs, religions, sciences (paradigm shift) and some of the old (even big word) philosophies
the three can be combined from my observation point
the primary divider of each system of knowledge are the people, not reality
i saw that coming a mile away. who said you need to pass an algebra test that you didn't study for?
Well, I guess my real question is: If god teaches one everything one needs to know, then what is the purpose of attaining knowledge through conventional means, when god by all rights will bestow upon one that knowledge if he/she/it so chooses?
that's a good question. i guess the real answer lies in why you wish to learn something. i think it all comes down to intent, god's will, and the desires of your heart being in sync. i know that god has used a wide variety of things to teach me...including other people, books, music, movies, nature, the spirit...
god is in control. god is everywhere, and in every thing. it seems to always come down to whether or not i'm "tuning in".
you are assuming a 'download' of data into your brain when you need it..
if god wants you to know something, god will provide a means to achieve that knowledge,whether it be a formal school or the school of hard knocks..he still gave us the ability to choose for ourselves,if he sets it up for you to learn what he needs you to learn and you do not choose to utilize that path, it is not gods fault you did not learn..
