WE MUST CHANGE OUR IMAGE OF GOD
"God sublime educator." Claudio Sinoti
Humanity is evolving, try as we might argue that the human being in terms of moral behavior remains the same cave, but today there is more slavery, the practice of dueling, which was a legitimate legal defense of honor, was abolished, the women vote, work and act on their sexual and gestatorial life, children have rights ... technologically expanded much if you are reading this page because there is computers and the internet.Evolution is a fact! But if the man is increasingly expanding its capacity to know and to relate the vision that many have of God is medieval! conceive are two paths heaven and hell and God as great judge, who acted punishing evil and rewarding who was good, many have the image within him of an old bearded man as God.
The Bíblia- book of books, humankind's memory shows us many faces of God, according to the evolutionary moment of humanity, we see a God who sent exterminate a people, leaving nothing "
Samuel said to Saul:
1 I am the one whom the Lord sent to anoint him as king of Israel, his people; so now listen to the Lord's message.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel, attacking them when they left Egypt.
3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and consecrate themselves to the Lord to destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare; . kill men, women, children, infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys' " 1 Samuel 15: 1-3
God does not need to send people to kill, if he wants to take the life of someone he takes. He is all powerful! These texts reflect the vision we had of God, bellicose and vindictive, the result of an age of men who were also so!
Another moment in the history of cristianismo- because we could talk about other cultures and other views, such as Hindu or Buddhist; It is of the prophets. Now no longer a warlike God, but that does not tolerate social injustice and immorality! The prophet Amos compares women who lived in luxury and insensitive to the needs of the people of basã- fat cows, vain and idle! God does not leave unpunished those who exploit the people! A God who cares and punishes those who do not practice social justice. Change of worldview change the vision of God.
The third moment is the person of the Master Jesus, who transformed the view of avoiding evil (negative ethics) of 10 mandamentos- Thou shalt not kill, do not covet ... etc, for ethical positively love the neighbor as thyself, do good ... shows a loving God, not quarrelsome, not bloodthirsty, but forgiving and merciful, you want the man ethics, respect and love for him and for others.
The fourth moment is the systematization of espiritismo- the third revelation ;who understands God beyond what any vision we knew and who wants us to live charity (agape).Knowledge, morality, ethics and love as the basis for human evolution. His biggest concern is how man relates to his fellow man . Knowledge of reincarnation, contact with the spirits, human sexuality is the result of individual progress of each red.Before repression, acceptance and love. A new vision of God, a greater apprehension of Christ's teachings. Knowledge of a God of love and justice.
Many bdsmers, although extremely enlightened people in many areas, but still with a childlike faith. Love BDSM, but blame themselves, they are in a sin, reject! If the person to discover a bdsmer, it is urgent to broaden your view of God. Generates a lot of pain, have practices of domination or submission, or other fetish you have, having a medieval vision of heaven and hell. Condemning sinners to hellfire!
This world is feathers and atonement, we are suffering a lot, to accept and expand the vision is critical, especially of God and the relationships we have with our fellow men. Let us always remember that the Creator's vision is closely related the vision of every age, of every culture and every person!Each of us is the path of evolution, we must live as we feel happy, but always respecting the other and acting in love! Santo Agostinho once said, "Love and do what you want!"
Letamplify the vision of God! We are in times of human barbarism, not in the Middle Ages, but in the XXI century dominating cyberspace and atomic energy.
