Why did God create us knowing we would be tempted and possiblby seperate from Him?..What was the point?..What were we before we were created if we had no body but our soul came from Him?Why did He put his "energy" into a faulty life form?

I have never heard the "voice of God", so I do not know if I can help you here. I would give the advice that if you hear voices in your head, to see a doctor immediately.

Does God get a cut of the prophets made from selling this book?(I am confused here) Assuming prophets = profits, and the book you are reffering to is the one I wrote, the answer would be no.(God does not need or desire money) If you are poor or do not wish to buy the book, yet you still want to read the Truth, just request a copy from your local library, it won't cost you a penny :) (Assuming your book return is not late)

lol, yeah. I meant "profits". Guess it turned out to be an unintentional pun. ;-)

Think of yourself going to a beach, there you will find sand. You can take wet sand and create anything you desire. Now think of an atom, this is God's "grain of sand". God created life out of atoms, yet God Himself, is not atomic. Since God is not atomic, God was not "dead till then". If you take a sheet of paper and make a paper airplane, the plane is not "dead till then" it simply has not been created from the paper yet.

When God gave the Breath of Life to man, this was not atomic life as we know it, this was mankind receiving a Soul. God is a Pure Energy Entity, and thus does not "expire". We ourselves are pure energy as we are composed of atoms and thus we are 100% nothing more then compiled bits of energy. The Energy that God consists of is not atmoic, this is why after our physical lives expire, yet we still continue on. Our Soul is the very essence of God, as God does not expire, neither does our Soul.
You first answered my question, “Did God create life?” by saying, “Yes, the life that we know, and the life we do not know (The Soul).” Where you have answered, “Yes, God created the Soul", you are now saying, "The Soul is the very essence of God and it is eternal (not created)". Are you contradicting yourself?

Right..why would He seperate Himself from "Himself"???...Why would he put Himself into atoms that are going to be tortured and die and maybe never be a part of Himself again through falling for temptations He put before Himself (us)?(or create Himself born dead)

Why would He challenge Himself to love Himself and to stay with Him by putting Himself in human form by seperating His energy into pieces of flesh??..Why would he break Himself apart and risk Himself not rejoining Himself?

I will do the best I can to answer them in a timely manner. I understand this is a religious forum, even though I am not religious, I can still answer questions about God.
Interesting, but truthfully speaking, who cannot answer questions about god? Heck, it's child's play, to say the least.

I noticed that the specific forum rules here state: "This forum is for religious discussion and learning. If you don't quite agree with what has been posted then start a thread in the debate section."

As such I am not here to debate anything, if you are confused or do not understand the answer, please let me know and I will do what I can to explain the answer further.
I do find this position to be somewhat disingenuous as this stance indicates that the writer may well be here simply to vent and is quite possibly not terribly interested in defending their belief structures.

All that aside I do have a couple of questions. Give 'em your best shot.

1. How did "god" manifest "himself" to you?
2. Why did "god" choose you to deliver his message?
3. Was there something in particular that precipitated this first contact? (Perhaps you could briefly outline your psychological state prior to the event.)
4. Did this "entity" state outright that it was god?
a) If yes, could you please elaborate on it's assertions.​
b) If no, then what made you, an insignificant human animal, realize that, in fact, you were talking/thinking/communicating with the "creator" of All That Is?
What yardstick did you apply to your experience to validate what you were being told was "truth"?
(I am assuming that you understand that so-called "truth" is relative.)

Why would God damn His own self to eternal seperation from Himself?

Is he a multiple personality??>..Like with billions of people inside of Him and many thousands of new ones a day being created ???That He may or may not decide to reincorporate back into His whole self it they are good for Himself?

Why do we have to suffer physical and emotioanl pain?

Why did He create us in the first place?..If we (our souls) are already part of Him or connected to HIm why did he make us atomic?..Why didnt He just keep us with Him?

Is Jesus God?..and do you have to accept Him as the one true Savior the only possible way to reconcile our souls with God after death in order to avoid permenant seperation from God?

If you never felt physical or emotional pain, how could you be happy or sad? How would you know the difference between right and wrong? You cannot have righteousness without sin, light without darkness, right without wrong, pleasure without... pain.

God created man as a companion to God, that is why we were created "in the image of God". This is also how Ibliss became satan, by refusing to bow to man, as God had instructed.

We were with God in a non-atomic form, that is until Adam and Eve transgressed.

Jesus is a Gift of knowledge and wisdom given to mankind by God.(Divenly created at that) However Jesus was not God.

I will assume you are reffereing to something like John 14 - 6:

Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This is true, however it is not through Jesus as an individual, it is through what Jesus taught us and what Jesus represents. Jesus taught us God's One True Commandment: "Thall shall Love". Without Love you cannot enter Heaven. I will do another copy and paste straight from my book to show how Love is covered in all Ten Commandments, not overwriting them, but supporting them hand-in-hand:(I have to give a short version as it is way too long to post here)

. One might ask “How can there only be one True Commandment then?” Well let us look at the Ten Commandants in the Old Testament, and I will explain to you how each Commandment still falls under God’s one True Commandment.

Thou shall have no other Gods before me. If you truly Love God, how could you possibly worship another?

Thou shall not make unto me any graven image. Do you know what God looks like? NO you do not. Therefore any image that you create of God is a not only a transgression against God, but a terrible sin. If you Love God, you would not try to create a Likeness of Him, because any image that you create, could never be truly of God.


Thou shall not take the name of thy God in vain. What does this mean? Jesus had sated that you cannot go to hell for what you put in your mouth,(This is a reference to certain foods that some religions feel that you should not eat) but you can go to hell for what comes out of your mouth. Sometime in your life you may have heard someone angry say “god damnit” or “jesus christ”, these are examples of using God’s name in vain. Although Jesus is not God, this is still a transgression against God, as you are swearing against a Prophet of God, which He had given to mankind as a Gift. So if you truly love God, then you would not curse or swear against Him.

Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. As mankind was created in the image of God and God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh, so shall you work for up to six days and rest on the seventh. This Commandment is widely misunderstood, however it does fit firmly inside of God’s Plan for mankind.(See “God’s Plan”, to explain this further) This would fall under “Loving thyself” as God did not intend for mankind to constantly work everyday that he is on Earth. So if you truly love yourself then do not work yourself right into a grave.

Honor thy father and thy mother. It is through them that God created you. If you truly Love your neighbor,(Mother and father fall under the category of “neighbor” as they are people that you exist around) would you rebel and go against them?

Thou shall not kill. WRONG! This IS NOT a Commandment of God. This has been changed and perverted by mankind, the correct Commandment that belongs here is “Thou shall not murder”. There is a huge difference between “killing” and “murdering”. If you truly love your neighbor, then you would not murder him.

Thou shall not commit adultery. I had mentioned earlier that the only power satan has over mankind is temptation, and this is a classic example of it. When you lust after another’s husband or wife and you commit adultery, you do nothing more then bow to satan and give in to his temptation. If you truly Love your neighbor then why would you commit adultery against him?


Thou shall not steal. If you Love your neighbor, would you illegally take his possessions?

Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. An awesome teaching of the Qur’an is that sinners hate the truth and righteous people love the truth.(I must apologize as I cannot find the exact SURAH that states that, however it is the feeling I get from the Qur’an on that matter) If you love your neighbor would you lie to him, or against him?

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor. Jealousy, another temptation of satan, is constantly wanting what your neighbor has and you do not have. You cannot Love your neighbor when you are constantly coveting what he has.

As you can see God’s one True Commandment falls in line with all the commandments that God gave mankind through Moses. God could have simply written “Thou Shall Love” on a stone tablet. But truly how could the people understand God’s Intent, when even today, thousands of years later, most of mankind still does not truly comprehend “Love”? The Ten Commandments were God’s way of trying to teach mankind how to Love, unfortunately today this is still misunderstood.

God can make the future, however God cannot "see" the future.(This is also discussed in the book, as well as the scientific explanation of how God knows our every thought) While only God can be perfect, any thing that God creates should not realy be seen as "faulty". Your question really refers to God's greatest Gift to mankind, and this is: "Freedom".

You Soul is free to be righteous or sinful, you are free to accept God, or deny God. If God came down and took a physical shape, and sat on the whitehouse lawn for a year and asnwered every question mankind had, do you understand that we would have no freedom? You could not deny God, as you could see Him, you would be forced to believe in God and live by His Plan.(Only someone clinically insane would stand in front of God and refuse to live by His Plan, this is my opinion of course)

You have to understand that to be truly created in the image of God, you cannot have a restriction, as God has no restriction, therefore you must be Free, thus God gave you Freedom. You have no burdens of oppression, that being "perfect" would chain you down with. The man that denies being sinful, is the man that denies God. Be glad you are not perfect, as Freedom is more valuable then perfection. A "perfect" diamond can be bought with money, true "Freedom" must be bought with blood.

What do you mean by this? It sounds close to Christianity - the blood of Christ purchasing freedom - but it also sounds like the rationale for a genocide. I'm curious if you're speaking in political or spiritual terms (or both).

Anyway, I'll hang up now.:eek:

Hi TruthAboutGod,
First time caller, long time listener.

Aliens, psychic detectives, paranormal activity, etc…

In summary what has God divulged about these subjects?

Does God have a name?

Would you not agree that it is strange how some people believe that if you believe in God, you cannot believe in aliens? Is this not mankind "trying" to restrict what God can and cannot create? If God created mankind to be a companion to God, why cannot God create a companion to mankind? This is really meaningless however, in 1999 fossilized bacteria was found on a meteor from Mars.(Or wherever it came from) Life on other planets has already been proven, and yes you can touch it with your hands, the people that deny the existance of aliens are the same people that still think the earth is flat.

Physic detectives and paranormal activity also have simple scientific explanations. Here is another C&P from the book that will help answer the questions about the "unexplained" and "Miracles":

God has given us many gifts of Knowledge and Wisdom beyond our current comprehension. Let us look at a passage from Exodus to see an example of what He has given in the past, that people did not, and probably still do not, understand; Exodus 7 – 10 through 12:

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh , and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enhancements. For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aarons rod swallowed up their rods.

This is truly an awesome example of what mankind can do with a little Knowledge and Wisdom from God. There was no “magic”, it was simple atomic manipulation. The “wise men” that threw their rods down and turned them into serpents, were given the knowledge by God as well.(Directly or indirectly) When they threw their rods down and saw that the rod that Aaron threw down devoured theirs, they knew it was God that led Moses and Aaron. They then withdrew immediately, even rejecting Pharaoh to side with Moses, risking their own lives! After all if they were “wise men”, then they firmly understood not to come into conflict with God.

Again there is no magic here; this is nothing more then atomic manipulation. Many people bring to the forefront the “Miracles” that Jesus had done, but they fail to understand that the miracles that the disciples did, after the crucifixion, were many more then what Jesus had done. Read the New Testament book of Acts and you will see this for yourself. Jesus was truly a Gift from God, but many people became overly infatuated with Jesus, and had missed the lesson that Jesus was truly teaching.

All the “magic” or “miracles” that you hear of in our history or our present time, are not “hocus pocus”. These things are Gifts of Knowledge and Wisdom from God, given to mankind. Some may choose to abuse these gifts for their own gain, however they will receive their recompense on Judgment Day. So do not fret over things that you do not understand, all will be explained to you when the time is right. As a side note the Qur’an even shows us when this Knowledge of atomic manipulation was given to Moses, SURAH 19 – 52:

And We called him from the right side of Mount Sinai, and made him draw near to Us, for mystic converse.



P.S. referring to God as "God" or "Allah" is fine :)

Because....I would be unseperated from God..Why do I have to be a pion deliberatley seperated by God Himself ??..(which He chose to seperate not me..I was just born)

Why did he seperated me from Him?...why am I an atom(or a bunch of them)..When I never had to be except He decided?

What made Him decide that?

Was He bored?

No, it is simply a matter of explanation. Our Soul is the very Essence of God. Our physical life,(Atomic) was created by God. Your reading was correct, it is simply a failure on my part to explain it correctly. The Soul that we have is the "Breath of Life" that God has given us. I guess to explain it better, it should read: "God provided/shared/gave us a Soul".

P.S I just confused myself again. :sad4:

God's Soul is a Pure Energy Entity, this Energy is infinite. To have an infinite amount of something and to take a piece of it away, would still leave an infinite amount. God did not really seperate Himself from Himself, When you passed your DNA on to your children,(Assuming you have children, as we are God's children) did you lose anything, or did you seperate yourself from yourself?

The Soul and the Atomic body are two seperate entities, you cannot atomically torture a Soul.

Why would He challenge Himself?(Here you have me confused) If the question is: "Why would God give us a Soul, which is part of God, if it may never return?" In another answer in this thread I explained this as the Energy that God gave us,(A Soul) is infinite. Also God Greatest Gift to mankind is Freedom, God will not force you into obedience, and thus force you to follow His Will.

Sounds like a saturated piece of cloth...He is slinging off bits of "water"...And it continuosly rains on Him..He needs to get rid of some...His infinity makes need to drain.To bad its humans...or any living creature..
