Most people do not understand the importance of choosing the right God

What’s something most people don’t understand?

There are plenty of people who are convinced that religion is the evil of the world. They take it for granted that in case there would be no religions there would be less violence and war in the world.

Many forget that religions may have allowed for fewer problems between people. Without religions, people would also have coveted others’ good and wanted to increase their own wealth and thus conquer countries, plus not shied away from killing others and taking away their goods. Several religions are all about building good relationships with others and coming into balance with the environment (people, animals and planets).
It is fair to say that in addition to religious events, philosophical and spiritual thinking has and will continue to play a part in how people relate to each other and their environment.

However, many people have a hard time dealing with people who think and behave differently from them. And that is precisely what so often causes multiple problems, the unwillingness for them to have empathy for that other.

In some countries, Christians in particular have a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that others think differently from them, especially about how others view their god or God. Indeed, it is the case that a very large proportion of people who call themselves Christians have taken to themselves a different god from the figure they supposedly follow, but in fact, do not follow at all. Those so-called followers of Christ, who do not keep to the teachings of Christ, may not always be aware of their own biases or wrong ideas about the person they are supposed to follow.

By those so-called Christians we find some who do not understand why others do not understand their faith. Though some of them also write on the net but do not provide a place for people to react to their writings, as if they are afraid to receive too harsh reactions and too difficult questions.

It is true that lots of people do not understand that following Christ is much more than following church doctrines or obeying a set of rules. Though, the majority of people prefer to keep to human teachings and church doctrines instead of keeping to Biblical doctrines. Most people like to take it the easiest way and not swim against the mainstream. To me, their attitude and way of thinking is incomprehensible because they allow their brain twists to meander so much, while the books they supposedly follow (but actually don’t even really read through), speak such a clear language that one cannot really see past them.

Yet, the danger of that whole group thinking outside the Biblical pattern is so great that they drag a lot of people into their false teachings. Sadly and actually incomprehensibly, it is strange that they no longer question the thinking of those groups or churches and do not compare those false teachings with what the Bible really says.

Thus, the Bible speaks of an eternal God whom no man can see and who always tells the truth. But when that Godhead indicates that He will give a saviour to the world and make that sent one act and speak in His Name, that majority of name Christians do not believe that the one whom Jehovah calls His beloved son is really a son of man lower than the One Who placed him here on earth.

Steadfastly those many name Christians continue to take Jesus as their god when Jesus himself made it clear that he is not God and that one should thank not him but God for all things and pray to his God.

I wonder why so many people prefer to believe those church fathers or priests rather than the God of the Bible Who yet speaks plain language in His Word that He gave to mankind with the Book of books the Bible.

Still, people should come to see the importance of choosing the right God. For many, this may mean a complete turnaround in their lives, but the God of the Bible demands that man will make the right choices and only recognise and worship Him as Godhead. God does not want to have other gods besides Him but to be regarded as the God above all gods.

Those who believe in That One True God and call themselves Christians are supposed to follow the command given by Jesus to His followers. They should then tell others about that One True God who is the Creator of all things and who accepted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as a ransom or release from the stain of sin.

It is only by having the faith in that One God and His sent one that people shall be able to enter the promised Kingdom of God.

Everything in our life depends on choosing the right God and putting full confidence or trust in Him. Coming closer to the Last Days it becomes more and more important that people come to know the Name of the only Real God.

Indeed, as we get closer to the end of the ages, there will be unmistakable signs by which one will recognise that the time of the end will be near and that Jesus Christ will return to judge the living and the dead. Then it shall be too late to make a choice for God and Christ.

In Biblical evidence of the Trinity you can find a beautiful example how trinitarian Christians twist the Biblical words to go against the Words of God Who is clear about His unique position and where nowhere in the Bible is said that “The Son is the eternal God”.
Also are there Christians who claim that The Trinity is unique to Christianity whilst many in Christendom may go for such unbiblical teaching, but in Christianity there are luckily enough many different churches who keep to the God of Christ Who is Only One and not two or three godly beings.
Many of those Trinitarians do not want to see how Jesus is one with his heavenly Father in the same way we have to be one with Jesus and with his heavenly Father, though this does not mean we would be God. How Jesus Changed the World 2
