A question of Faith....
UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Day 6.
** GOD - God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by most theologians includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and as having an eternal and necessary existence. Many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent (perfectly good), and all loving.**
I don't necessarily believe that there is ONE being guiding us through life....I spent my childhood questioning the very existence of God....I was not raised practicing a religion and so once scripture class was added to my world through school, it raised many, many questions.....As a result I was sent packing from many a scripture class for asking "too many questions".
My questions were unanswered and so a lifetime of "non belief" ensued....As I have grown older though, I have come to my own conclusion that there is more than one being that guides us....I do believe in the Angelic Realm....I believe that we never actually leave existence, but we go on to exist on another plane....that there is more than one plane to this universe.....and that we can shift from one plane to another......that we are all here for a reason......each and every one of us has a PURPOSE.....The Angels, my Angels guide me from one day to the next....and come running when I ask them to....
Confused? I was for a while too! But this is how I can explain it....God may be the 'Boss" of all the Angelic Realm but I don't believe in God as ONE entity, I don't worship HIM alone..... everyone has a "belief"....a faith......and I suppose the way I interpret mine may be slightly different to the norm......but it gets me through life's challenges....just like your faith, whatever it may be, gets you through yours.....it creates a peace within me that leads me to a better place....BUT
Sometimes those questions raise their heads again.....WHY? why do so many people die, some unnecessarily....why is there so much disease, why is there so much hate....war......etc...etc....these things would shake even the most faithful of believers.....
I myself do not have an answer for the question of death but I can only think that loved ones are taken so that they can watch over us and guide us through life as well....they become our Guardian Angels ..... I do believe we are "given" challenges, events that will test us.....things that will eventually shape us and make us who we are as adults.......
I woke early this morning with all of this swirling around in my head, true story....and so I had to get up and write it ....get it out of my head...hopefully it hasn't made you think any less of me, confused you....offended any of you
The old addage - "God only gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers" This has been said to me and many others I'm sure, when facing a tough time......Some soldiers expire and some march on....the questions are raised again....
My conclusion? Apparently "God " must think I'm a bad ass.... tough and uncompromising because "He" has sent me many battles over the years.....this year being the biggest ever....
