Yes foundation of humanbeings is to come to the knowledge of God some day,now which the bible called the last days,bible said my people perished for because they lack what knowledge,now the synonms of knowledge is science,wisdom,information,etc.Antonyms of knowledge,ignorance,innocence inexperience.so as an individual,there are some reasonable knowledge that you should have or possess when approching God almight as he said come boldly to the throne of grace,note also another thing that being reasonable enough means being able to judge matters also from God perspective point of view as human.

People think that the "Our Father..." is the Lord's prayer. Really, the Lord's Prayer is John chapter 17, some of which I will quote:

20I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one— 23I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

Don't simply breeze through it. Actually see the words that Jesus prayed to His (our) Father, requesting that all believers be ONE with God.

It's time to live as you believe, just as Jesus did. But to find out what and how Jesus believed, you have to immerse yourself in the Bible, but especially in the New Testament.

We must also not be too scriptural but our life must bring out the reflection of the things the the word of God says, we need to live at peace with everyone's we beed to be our brothers keeper, we need to have other's interest in help by being supportive and  that we can stand in gap for those that may needs the comfort they require through our influence in their lives, we ultimately need to help another and do the father's will.

Your word, scriptual, should be 'legalistic'.

Legalism tries to be obedient to a set number of laws in the Bible. But the written laws are only a tiny number of laws that really exist.

To be lawful towards all the laws, one needs to act out of love and faith. The spirit of love lets us identify the laws without even making them into written laws... so we can automatically obey them.

I personally admit I need to grow my understanding and personal relationship with God. I believe religion has been important in human history and it will continue to be, as it serves as a vehicle for people to find peace and strength to be able to move forward.

Though, I agree and respect whatever other may feel or think, because I am also a believer of the right of free speech, if we think about it, we could considered it part of the will power God gave to human beings since the beginning.

^^^ Micah 6:8:

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

'Mercy', above, is similar to 'love'.

Walk . humbly . with . God.

These words are important, the way they fit together and are to be acted on. They are words of supreme law and supreme love. Examine these words individually, and together with each other. What they will show you is this, and the words that are before this and after it:

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Don't belittle the words 'we have'.

Go here https://www.biblehub.com/niv/2_corinthians/4.htm, find the above words, and read the areas before and after.

God is love towards all, but especially towards those who believe in Him.

In this particular place that we found ourselves discussing cryptocurrency I don't think that we have anything related with the heavenly raise or not to discuss about hear this particular place is only meant for sharing their ideas on politics and the idea concerning cryptocurrency and the politics should be related to the government that is against cryptocurrency in particular so I don't know why you come up with this particular idea

[Desmong]

This question need to be asked in the church because That is where we are going to fund really Christians that are working and doing God's work. Knowing our place in the kingdom of God is a good question and it is left for people who are christians to answer. We are different religious group here from different regions.

Yeah ok, start a thread in the p+s section about your invisible, imaginary sky daddy. What else is new? What a load of utter bollocks.
But then again, you know you are gonna get a reply from the famous forum legendary godswilling nutcase.

Merit farming are we?

BTW.... you might want to check your grammar/spacing and spelling before starting a thread in a public forum. Pay attention to those little red squiggly lines.

I'm also a believer but I do respect the belief of others. While some other believers are pushing their belief to the other people that have their belief as well, sometimes they're too much. We all know that we've got a place a heaven and He hears but this belongs to those who doeth his will. (John 9:31).

It's not the actual location where you'll be placing yourself there but it's about where you'll be going and that's one certain place as we die. Because Jesus said that there are many mansions there prepared for everyone that follows Thy will. (John 14:2).

Since God is the basis for society, and since He directs politics for the benefit of His people, this is a good section to talk about God.

The powerful Devil (Satan), who is the god of this age, simply has blinded your eyes and mind from understanding and knowing the existence and power of God. So, we pray that, somehow, God's Spirit will penetrate into your mind and heart so that you can know God, the ruler of the universe, and be saved rather than destroyed.

it is not possible for you to know your place in heaven because the Creator being god knows what the Earth is meant for the people God created not heaven so it is when we depart on Earth it is when we know what heaven is all about so every person have it on query or answer on earth instead of going to were we don't know

Yes, we don't know. Why not? Hebrews 9:11:

But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

Note the part, "...not a part of this creation." We use the things of this creation to know what we know in this universe. We can't know the things that are not of this creation except in a very general way. Why not? Because they are entirely different than things of this creation. If they weren't different, they would simply be a different part of this creation. However...

Job 19:27:

I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

God made this universe the way He wanted things. He is making the new universe in a similar way, but much more glorious. It will be different enough that we can't understand the new one from here. But it will be similar enough that we will have eyes to see God... but they will be a much more glorious set of eyes, able to see far more than our eyes can see in this universe.

It's like God is not only programming a new program for His universe-computer, but He is making a whole new advanced universe-computer, that can handle greatly upgraded programming.

Well, what about people who don't believe in the Bible? There are about 4-5 billion people who do not believe in the Bible!!!
Can they reach knowledge or is this impossible in your opinion?

What he might have been missing out lies in the ability of not knowing that everything does not have to do with being religious, there are other means we can sounds more clever and knowledgeable without involving any religious matters along, though we all believe that God is the creator of all things and also he have already established man in form of angels among us that we don't have to suffer a long way before achieving anything on earth.

Everybody knows that God exists. Nature around us is a machine made up of many, tinier machines. Machines have makers. This is obvious to anybody. It's why we see so many gods in the history of the nations of the world. Nobody has an excuse for not understanding that God exists.

Since people know that God exists, what religion should they follow? The weakness of people in thinking intelligently is something that blocks their understanding of believing in the Bible, and the God of the Bible. 2 Corinthians 4:4:

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

This is why those of us who have been blessed enough to know the truth, need to tell those who have not been blessed that much. But many people reject, even when they hear. If they reject, let them, and go to others, some of which will not reject.

This is the question: "Which religion should they follow?" Yes, here lies the problem that makes many people not believe and prefer to remain irreligious, in which God and in which religion should I believe? God of Buddhists, God of Hindus, God of Jews, God of Christians, or God of Islam?

As for your saying:

The weakness of people in thinking intelligently is something that blocks their understanding of believing in the Bible, and the God of the Bible.

This is a statement that I disagree with, as do the millions or billions of others who do not believe in the Bible.
Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, or Hindus can say exactly the same thing, too.

Is mathematics logical? Someone who doesn't know much about math, might be tempted to say that most of math is silly.

But when that same person studies math and the things that can be done through math, he suddenly finds that math isn't so silly as he formerly thought.

Same with religion. Study the history of each religion, and see what you come up with. For example:
1. The Hebrew people have in the Bible some of the best laws for living life free and equitably;
2. The Hebrew people have passed their Scriptures down from parents to children for 3500 years... the historical time of the nation of Israel since Moses;
3. The Old Testament as a history shows over and over how not following God and His law caused trouble for the people of Israel, and how God saved them when they started to follow Him again;
4. The New Testament was copied around 25,000 times in the first and second centuries after Jesus birth. Why? Because Jesus was powerful, and the people kept the memory of this power;
5. The Bible is the most printed and sold book by far, not by accident, but because there is power in it.

In other words, when you start to examine the Bible, the info in it, the history of the nation that 'wrote' the Bible, and a lot of things about the whole history surrounding the nation of Israel outside of it, you will find that the Bible is an impossible-to-have-been-written book. God is in the Bible.

There is no other nation, and no other book that has a history anywhere near as strong as Israel and the Bible. People don't believe the Bible because they haven't looked. However, for those who have looked and still don't believed... God has given people free will... free will that is strong enough to resist even Him, His Holy Spirit working in them.

Suppose I read the Bible, to which denomination or church will I belong to the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Old Eastern Orthodox Church, or the Protestant churches? Of course, in addition to the presence of the Church of the East with its Assyrian and ancient branches, and the presence of small non-Trinitarian sects.....etc.

Which one would I choose? In other words, which one is right? And if they were all right, why did they disagree?
