Went to a funeral today for a Loved one. Please say a prayer for them, me and my family. I don’t have it all figured out but I’m pretty sure prayer is good.

#prayer #prayerrequest

This guy describes a beautiful heaven. Thank you for sharing.

I don’t know what to type about, but I’m here with you. Also Good Night world.

Question: What is your religion?

Answer: I am the "first" Muslim like Abraham.. I am trying to be.

Or I'm first Jewish or First Christian.. I'm the first one in my belief..

Question: What does this mean?

Answer: What does first mean? It means it emerged without copying. It means there is no one like it. In other words, I do not copy from anyone in my belief.

Question: According to you, are billions of people not Muslims?

Answer: According to me, you should not look at it. Even if you read it as written with "current dictionaries", they are not Muslims according to the Quran. They have sects. They are polytheists. They have many partners to Allah. They are infidels. There is everything in their religion except Allah.

Question: You do not know the inside of people. You cannot call them polytheists or infidels. How can you say that?

Answer: Do you know their inside? How can you call them Muslims? You look at their appearance. You look at their words. You look at their lifestyle. That's what I look at.. They are not Muslims in my belief.

Question: According to you, no one is Muslim anyway.

Answer: Yes. Including me.

Question: What do you mean by current dictionaries? How will you understand without dictionaries? You don't believe in hadiths either.

Answer: Should I believe in hadiths and become an unbeliever. I don't even believe in dictionaries. Because, how are you sure that the words in dictionaries have the "correct meaning"? Did you receive revelation? I didn't. For example, the same word has been given different meanings. Did you receive the revelation of which verse has which meaning? I didn't.

Question: Has no one understood for hundreds of years?

Answer: They definitely understood. You killed those who understood. Or they kept quiet. Even now, there are merchants of religion who knowingly hide what I say. Among those you trust the most... There are those who tell me that they are hiding the truth and shamelessly defend this.

Question: You wouldn't understand without these books and people who know this religion.

Answer: I wouldn't understand according to your religion with many books = many gods. I am an unbeliever of your religion with many books.

Note: According to your additional books that are hell-slaying, "infidels are killed". There is no such perversion as killing in my belief. I cannot take the life that God gave it.

Question: So according to your belief, the meanings of words have been distorted. What do you think is right?

Answer: I don't know what is right. I see the mistakes. If I say, "The meaning of this word is not that but this", I would be the new dictionary writer. I would have done what I rejected myself. I am just saying, "The meaning of the word is not that". I don't go any further. I am cleaning my brain. I am cleaning my life.

Question: What do you mean? How can it be without replacing it?

Answer: Why not. For example, having sex with children is perversion. When you realize that this is wrong, do you replace this behavior with something? Or do you quit because it is wrong. Also think about it this way. You had a mental health problem and started to collect garbage. Then you got better. Suddenly you see that your house has become a house of garbage. What do you do? Do you throw away the garbage and put new ones in, or do you throw everything away? The dirty and the clean are mixed together. Do you try to sort it out. Do you throw it all away? Our brain is in this state.. I clean it too. An empty house is better than a house that is not clear whether it is dirty or clean.

Question: What do you think God wants?

Answer: I don't know what Allah wants. I think Allah gave the key to cleanliness and freedom. Heaven in this world..

Question: How did Allah give it?

Answer: Allah gave it by telling us what we are not.. You have this quality but if you do it, you will turn your life into hell, Allah said. Think of it like an exam.. You don't take an exam on a subject you don't know. Those feelings are there as an exam subject. Not to see it as a right. Why is the world hell? Because people see themselves and others as gods.. They have states. They have the institution of marriage.. They have money.. I think this is the reason for all personal and social problems..

Question: I didn't understand. How do you mean?

Answer: Yes. I skipped the beginning of the book and made a sentence in the middle. It's normal that you didn't understand. I'll explain it in detail another time.

Whatever God you believe in doesn’t matter. What matters is that we all come from the same God. I believe he Loves us all unconditionally.

I’ll have to check out this podcast on Monday. Not seeing 4 hours of quiet time before then. 🫠

I have big doubts about salvation through belief in Jesus, seems weird to me. Why does God need you to believe in him to go to heaven? The Bible says “God is Love”… but that doesn’t sound like love to me.

I think your correct about sum parts of the Bible. I believe there are lies in it and people misinterpret it all the time. But I one verse I believe with all my heart is that “all things work to the glory of God.” Even the lies and misinterpretations.

Thank you, that was helpful… now I just have to wait for strike to settle the purchase I did today. lol this setup

Has been quite the process for me.

Damus is sending me to BlueWallet app (when trying to zap) but I would prefer it send me to the Strike app.

I picture God as everything, Brahma. I used to doubt God because the idea that nothing could exist-no planets, no light, no space or time,nothing-is impossible. More and more I find to be an unpragmatic approach. It does exist and we are here. God, to me, is energy. It creates all things, it remembers things, it forms connections and it is constantly reshaping "creation" which is really just a chemical reaction in 4 (or however many) dimensional space.

The salvation, penance, charity, etc, it's all just iterations of each of us shaping, consciously and unconsciously, subjective and consensus reality. It's homage to the fact that we are all connected, one infinitely entangled web of individuals and minerals veering to and from our ultimate goal of safety, prosperity and happiness for all of us.

It's a metaphor that Bitcoin helped me to see because suddenly we have intrinsically aligned interests. I want BTC to build my wealth and I want you to have BTC so that we have coincidence of needs and a common medium of exchange. If God didn't exist, it seems like we would never be able to converge on a single mechanism for collective betterment, and if he does exist, nothing could stop us from reaching this point in history.

Bitcoin was inevitable, and the fact that it didn't get strangled in the crib is a testament to that idea. The most powerful technology very naturally coheres with the most powerful force of nature, God.

Meanwhile, the Bible always seemed scarce in my mind because it never laid out the most effective form of governance. The fact that Jesus only got violent against the lenders in the temple, against the most insidious form of corruption which is so violently corrupting men's souls today tells me he knew exactly the dangers which tells me the divine was truly working that day and to this day.

Our brains are computers, they run on energy. The Bible says we are made is the image of God. The Bible also says God is Love and Jesus IS TRUTH. The more TRUTH we uncover the deeper we will understand Love and therefore understand God. I think we understand .05% of the TRUTH. But Damn, I want to know more.

By the way, I believe in Jesus. I cant explain it truly logically. Do you have any thoughts on Jesus?

Let’s be friends.

lol it took me a while, but I think I did it
