Because if we're all going to die why live your life being duped? When you worship God via organized religion you're not following God's law you are following man's law. You just believe it's God's law because that's what you were told.
Being duped? Organized religion? Of course NOT! We believe in God because we feel it in our hearts, and we manifest our faith by living the righteous life. And we are not an organized religion simply because we worship God. We are believers and worshippers who are enlightened by His Word and all that we profess to believe and live by are upon His calling on us.
We don't need to dwell in "so many ways" just to find that we can worship God while we still live. We only have to believe and worship Him, that is all what God wants of us. And the Bible says that if we love God and obey all that He wills, we all will live our lives the way we should, according to how God created you and me, in His image and likeness.
It's only the gods of religions which say there are punnishments for disbelief. So if you are going to "believe" to escape the punnishment you had better hope you picked the right one to worship. And also, People who disbelieve in god can no more spontanious believe he exists than you can spontaniously believe that the sky is green. You can say it's green, but you can't make yourself believe it.
What is the motivating factor to believe in your God simply given the fact that we will all die one day? It's like saying.. Fact: Grass is green. Conclusion: Why not chew bubble gum?
You're saying I should worship a God in case it's the right thing to do? Genius! Why didn't I think of that! <convinced!>
I completely agree with you. We will not only die, but also we’ve to go towards the God. There must be a purpose behind creating this whole universe including us. God never wants more from us. We just need to fulfill our life as he ordered. We should deeply observe the creations and believe the creator. Also we need to think about the day of judgment as God described in the religious scripture. Better we believe in God, worship, and lead our life in the way he wants.
It is not a matter of that we are all going to die that's why we should believe in God, but because we are all sinners. No one can tell me that they are not because they would be lying. Jesus Christ came to earth and died on the cross to save us from our sins because he loves us so much, all you have to do is believe in him and trust in him and follow his word and you will be saved. At the end of the day you can either except it or not excepted but according to the Bible you will be going to hell if you don't, no matter how good of a person you think you are. God Bless
Thank you for proving my point. You are so duped.... that you just said there is no such thing as organized religion. Proof that religion can get you to think and say anything. No matter how nonsensical it may be. It takes a special type of mentality to be that open to influence. Fact is you are a part of an organization of worshippers and believers in a specific religion. Ironically, had you been born somewhere else, you'd be a part of an entirely different organization. You don't follow God's word, you follow whatever you were raised and taught to believe is God's word.
Says who? FACTOID: Did you know that the people who wrote the Bible, both old and new testament never met Jesus? Yet you follow and believe their words as if they were eye witnesses.
But those who believe in God, they believe these religious scriptures are revealed from God. And he is the one and only witness.
We know better who we are than anybody else who are duped to believing that we are part of an organizaed religion. Just because we profess to believe and abide by our God do not make us organized religion, i.e. on the basis of how you so negatively interpret "religion". We are pure and simple faithful believers and doers of the will of the Almighty Creator and Saviour. And we are made to follow God's Word by nobody but by our own conviction and faith. While indeed we were born and raised to believe and made to accept a certain god in the early days of our lives, yet today the GOD that we worship and to Whom we entrust our lives and everything that we have, all that we are and hope to be is the Living God of all Creation, the King of all kings, the Lord of lords, who shall always remain the same yesterday, today and forever. He is my God and your God, my and your Creator, however you are caused to conceive Him to be. Praise Him! May He have mercy on all creation, including those who refuse to welcome Him to their hearts. Our God is so kind and understanding, and merciful!
