    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    This prayer would have been offered trillions of times. First What is it asking for? An individuals answer to that question, will clarify if the next questions are relevant. Has Jesus acheive this? Has Muhammad achieved this? Has any past Faith yet Acheived this? I have my thoughts...

    Could it be a false Assumption?

    Christianity rides on the wave that they are saved, as they alone have embraced the Christ, it is only true Faith if one has embraced only Jesus, who became known as 'Christ". Is this a false assumption? Regards Tony

    The Written Torah - How It Came About and Who Wrote It

    In this thread I will discuss the historical / traditional claim made by Torah based Jews / Orthodox Jews, Samaritans, and even Karaites that the written text of the Torah was dictated by the Creator of all things to Mosheh ben-Amram and that the current Torah texts of ancient Torah based...

    Unity in Submission to God’s Counsels.

    That's it, to me, plain and simple it is a No. I see the peace and security of humanity is unattainable, unless and until Unity is firmly established and that unity is not possible while humanity as a majority do not follow the Counsels given by God. All faiths given of God, do have Counsels...

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    Obviously not all Atheists claim this, most atheists dont really care about ones faith. However there are some atheists who claim Christianity is harmful as a religion. They tend to be more on the antitheist side. My question is why? And how? How is christianity in any way form or shape...

    Somethings are not as they seem

    I'm a Southern Baptist PK, my world consisted of my dad, the church and god. I was baptized by my dad at 6yrs old, it was the thing I could do get my dad's attention or approval. I went to church all the way through high school, went to bible retreat vacations sponsored by whatever church my dad...

    Unity within Religious Groups

    The Baha'i Faith is a very interesting religion. It allows its members to do virtually anything they want and remain a Baha'i. If you are gay and want to have a gay marriage, you cannot have a gay Baha'i marriage, but you can get married the secular way if your government permits it. There's a...

    Poll: Openness to Change

    Everybody and every thing changes. In fact, in Earthseed, God is change. However, some people are more willing to change their spiritual and religious beliefs than others. For some people, the religion they were raised in is the religion they stick to their entire lives. For others, religion is...

    Shopping for Religion

    I was chatting with Chat GPT today. I asked it several questions about theology. First, I posed it the question: "what religions believe we are creating God?" It didn't list religions but rather the theologies posed in the ideas of panentheism and the cumulative concept known has process...

    Poll: Which Came First?

    This topic probably comes up often on these forums, but I'm including a poll with multiple options and also putting this in debates, so there's that. The question on my mind is: Which came first, God or existence? By existence I don't mean the Universe. Doing some extrapolating, I would argue...

    Poll: Inside Looking Out vs Outside Looking In Regarding Religion

    This thread was inspired by this post I wrote last night. “From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it." This is a famous quote I'm sure some of you have heard before. I'm curious as to if most people here view themselves on the...

    Explaining Exaltism

    The idea for this thread came from this post I wrote myself on a different thread. I would like to use this thread for one very specific reason: to explain my religious beliefs, which I call Exaltism. This post that I wrote did some of this explanation, but since my beliefs change, grow, and...

    Great thing about Messengers and Prophecy

    What I think is great, is how combining prophecy paints a bigger picture. I see that each of the prophesies from the many faith sources, taken only by themselves can be like the Blind men and the Elephant metaphor. So if we grab all God given prophesies, inclusive of some indigenous prophecies...

    Obligation as Faith leaders

    This OP is about the choice of those that represent a Faith. Starting at the leader, on to the priests, and down to all those that have a appointed responsibility of guiding the followers. No matter what faith, no matter what these leaders are called. It is aimed at addressing those that have...

    Power of Fake News

    Fake news and untruthfulness has now become a plague on the progress of the human race. The power of the written and spoken word by those that are supposedly to report the truth, is well known. It is used for good and is used to deceive. The Baha'i Writings contain advice I would like to...

    What does ChatGPT say about your religion?

    As we all know AI is slowly starting to be more intelligent, more conversational, more human-like. Although, no human would ever know everything an AI already knows. However, ChatGPT, has been shown to give different responses to the same questions, and is able to conversate better than other...

    When Love is the Light

    There is no darkness. I say Love always wins in the end. No matter how much darkness may be imputed toward the light, it is not able to overcome the light. I see Faith is the light of this world, which is currently being imputed with darkness. Those that impute, are not able to overcome the...
