This idea seems like an impossible challenge, but if there is a spiritual world and one true God, they have to be provable just from cause and effect reasoning. Even Christians who are mired down with the churches traditions and negative teachings could get a better insight into God and the spiritual world if they did not have to rely 100% on the Bible. Without the Bible there is no starting point but thousand of possible solutions, but knowing the teachings of Jesus we know the final answers to the best way to live this life. All we have to do is start with the answers and work back to the proofs. It is like the easiest way to solve a child’s maze puzzle, you start at the cheese and work your way back to the mouse at the start.
I think this idea is what I have been unknowingly working toward all of my life, especially the last 22 years up here on this mountain. These are my thoughts as of today in this blog on word press. I should what until they make more sense but I want to establish the date when God gave me this idea.
Some of the problems with the Holy Bible that are hard to ignore.
There are many questionable areas about the Holy Bible and it varies a lot with the physical findings of science about the origination of this physical world and universe.
1. My greatest challenge is to prove that God and the spiritual world exist without the Holy Bible.
2. The Christian Church says the Holy Bible is the infallible, literal word of God, but the educated, intelligent world says it is a fairytale written by men and questions the existence of the spiritual world.
3. Why is there no historical record or account of Jesus life here on earth except for the Holy Bible?
4. The Holy Bible has no record that Jesus ever told His followers to write a written account of His life.
5. None of the books of the New Testament were written until 30 or 40 years after Jesus life on earth.
6. Paul wrote most of the New Testament, but he never even met Jesus when He was alive.
7. The God and laws of the Old Testament are very much reversed from the New Testament.
8. The actual books included in the Holy Bible were selected by a group of men acting for God.
9. The Book of Mormon was translated from 12 gold plates found by Joseph Smith, God told him to destroy the plates after the first church elders seen them, why did they disagreed with the Holy Bible?
10. The idea that the universe and this world were created in six of mans days is not reasonable.
Reasons to believe that a good and evil spiritual world exists without the Holy Bible.
1. The improbable odds that man, this universe, world, and everything on it happened by blind luck.
2. We get good and evil ideas dropped into our conscious mind, could it be God and Satan?
3. We all have a feeling there is a greater power beyond this physical world, could it be God?
4. The location of a physical, conscious mind can not be found in our brain, is our mind spiritual?
5. We have a need for love that this physical world can not provide, no matter how hard we try.
6. The supernatural result of the power of faith is beyond the physical laws of science and nature.
7. Our hidden conscience urges us to live by a higher code of ethics than the worlds ways.
8. We are tempted to do evil and seek pleasure from a source beyond what many call animal lust.
9. Cause and effect tells us that living by the easy ways to the world always turn out to be very hard.
10. When we live in opposition to our conscience, our mind is troubled and we lose our peace of mind
11. When we achieve all the world says we need we are never satisfied, too much is never enough.
12. When we satisfy the lusts of our physical bodies, we end up with bad habits and poor health.
13. When we pay back evil with evil we have a hollow victory, and an eye for an eye leaves us empty. 14. The good side is our conscience and the one set of real truths are the theory of everything.
15. The evil side is the ways of the world and our lazy, lustful bodies, the opposite of the real truths.
Is the great order of this world a product of an unseen, superior being or power?
1. Once we rule out blind luck and evolution as answers for this wonderful world, only spiritual is left.
2. The fixed laws of science and nature seem to work until the questions ask by Quantum Physics.
3. This perfect world has been screwed up pretty badly by mankind and it is getting worse.
4. A world created by blind luck would result in us looking like the freaks in a Star Wars bar.
5. There had to be a great plan and someone who is still in control for things to work out this good.
6. If living by the ways of the world and our bodies is wrong, then a reversed set of rules should work.
7. Even if Frosty the Snowman came up with this reversed set of rules, should we not believe in him?
8. For the power of faith to work there has to be someone out there watching and able to pay us back
9. Mankind takes credit for all it has invented without realizing all the raw materials were already here.
10. There has to be a purpose for this life beyond a short life for no reason with no life after death.
11. The best way to live this life is as if there is a heaven, even if there is no life after death.
12. The right attitudes actually improve our life and wrong attitudes leave us hurting and in wanting.
13. Believing in God and the spiritual world makes it easier to use the power of faith for best results.
14. The greater we believe God is, the easier it is to believe He always wants the best for us.
Step one is to use the power of faith to prove there is an unseen power or force out there.
1. Much of the world believes in a version of the power of faith, kids believe Santa, the Golden Rule, Karma, Positive Thinking, what goes around comes around, and secular belief in the law of attraction.
A. If kids can believe Santa knows if they are naughty or nice, why can’t they believe in God?
B. Negative people will see a supernatural improvement in their life by becoming positive.
C. Christians will learn that expecting a difficult life is a negative use of the Golden Rule.
D. Everyone can benefit from knowing there is a higher standard of right and wrong.
E. If the secular law of attraction is powered by our great minds, why can’t we bend a spoon.
2. The power of faith is always at work in the life of every human, even if we do not know about it.
3. The power of faith works in both the positive or negative direction, when used together they cancel.
4. The positive and negative use of the power of faith relate to the one set of real truths Jesus taught.
5. There is only one true reality, therefore we can not make our own reality so we can live as we want.
Step two is to examine all the possible ways to live and relate them to the one set of truths.
1. Cause and effect will be the basis for determining what is true and what is false.
A. If the ways of the world are right why is there no lasting happiness with fame and fortune.
B. The fact that too much is never enough, and the more we have the harder it is to keep.
C. The ways of our lazy, lustful bodies are not good, we only get bad habits and poor health.
D. The easy ways of the world and our lazy, lustful bodies always end up being hard.
E. The hard ways of living by the one set of right rules always end up being easy as pie.
2. The teachings of Jesus just happen to agree with our conscience and the one set of real truths.
3. Even if the source of Jesus teachings was Santa Clause, they would still be the right way to live.
This article is just the start and a rough outline of a book I need to write that the world desperately needs. Not as a new religion or even for profit, but for the improvement in their individual spiritual life.
