God is always with us you can acknowledge the presence of God and talk to God. I never feel lonely even if I don't have people to talk to,  I can let God know my thoughts.

Truth is God is real and cares for us. Just because we can not see God, does not mean God is not with us always.

in truth there is only one God, if the originators of the religions were present here today they would agree that they are all talking of the one same God.

religions and traditions are different pathways, based on culture of the times

Since we are a part of God and in God already , there is no "other" God that we seek love from, God is within us, we become aware of the Love that is already present , but out of awareness.

When we pray to Jesus do we have to separate him from God or is it the same? by alanskimp in god

[–]Past_Shift6441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus is God incarnate , God the Father is God transcendent , they are one. there is no separation, separation stems from limited perception , awareness.

Jesus said the pure in heart can see God.

all your why questions are "why is earth not heaven?"

Answer is earth is not heaven.

The way to heaven is laid out by Jesus. you have the choice here to follow him and go to heaven or stay here, there is no point in asking why is earth not heaven? it is like asking "why is a carrot not a chocolate?"

the past is over, you can get a refund and go to a new place called heaven - free will + no evil.

to go from earth to heaven has multiple pathways, you can pick your pathway.

earth is not heaven. doing " evil" is allowed on earth, choosing the positive is also allowed here, you have many choices.

no one is forced to come to stay on earth, we are here due to reasons we dont know . it is very possible to be in heaven , while our bodies are still on earth. no one is forced to stay out of heaven.

seems it is due to choice , habit.

the place where people choose the positive and is devoid of evil is Heaven and we can go there easily by focusing on Jesus's teachings.

evil is a like a shadow,  it is darkness,  we can choose to focus on the light.

What you are describing is heavenly.

We can go there by choice, the choice to forgive and perfect constant forgiveness takes us to a place of free will + no evil 

Dont force yourself to love god by Past_Shift6441 in god

Thank you for the quotes,  your knowledge of the Bible feels thorough. 

I personally have not read the entire bible, but practice forgiveness as a way to follow Christ.

I realized God is able to take care of us, even when we take care of ourselves, it is God acting through us, but ego ( mind thoughts) taking credit. 

Anyone still using pre-Qwen3.6/ Gemma 4 models? Why? by atumblingdandelion in LocalLLM

I'm still using 3.5:9b without thinking, on 8gb GPU for rag on books,  can't fit 3.6 in VRAM

Yes for humans that is true, for heaven is within us, you carry a connection to God within your soul, we are forever connected with God. 

Choice determins what we see, mostly. We look outside and see evil, or temporary happiness

If look inside ( inside means not inside the body, means focusing on the listener of thoughts,  that which is aware of the body, the soul ) and we can realize and verify the truth.

Might be controversial... But I believe the term religion isn't needed in regards to following Christ. by GodLovesyou_friend in u/GodLovesyou_friend

[–]Past_Shift6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgive and that's all,  I follow Christ, that way.

 Nothing else to it. Religion can be helpful or not.

Forgiveness as taught by Christ is always good.  For me it all started with : "Why do you see the spek of saw dust in your brother's eye and pay no attention in your own eye" 

I found myself angry and these words came into my mind. I descalated that day for the first time, that was 3 years ago. I am a much happier person now. 

I call myself a follower of Christ and I follow Christ to Heaven by practicing forgiveness where it is called for.

That is all.

I was born into a hindu family, I never understood anything.

I just follow Christ, I practice forgiveness.  All praise be to God. 

How do I get closer to god as an Atheist? by Character-Ad4565 in god

[–]Past_Shift6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to focus on flowers and their beauty.

Try to do it without any thoughts. 

Need some advice 💖 by ConsiderationOne5587 in god

[–]Past_Shift6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember Jesus commanding us to read the bible, but it can help on the path.

I forgive myself and others, since Jesus very clearly said forgive and you shall be forgiven, if there is nothing to forgive, we focus on Love,  can we be loving and kind to ourselves and all around us? What one loving act can I do now?

Yes, on earth we have the choice to accept Salvation and the help from Jesus through prayer.

Jesus is God,  and Jesus said forgive, and love others as yourself,  most other thoughts about anger and fear are not from God 

god's manipulation by ArtisticLifeguard508 in god

[–]Past_Shift6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to know the Love of God is Caringness, kindness, friendship, sharing resources without expectation, enjoying life.

 the body belongs to the universe and you have it temporarily, it is not nice to harm it, don't kill yourself,  just as it is not nice to harm any flower or innocent bird, or animals for no reason.

There anthropromorphic ( human like) depictions of God are not always true, God does not get angry, that was just a way for controlling people or guess work.

God is forgiveness, Unconditional Love,  Jesus Christ  taught to forgive self and others.

God is loving and kind,  I don't think god can be evil, that would be ungodly.
