This post is a bit of a question more than my usually statement type posts.I want to know are YOU GOD FEARING?
Do you really fear God and why?
I have spoken to Priests and Ministers of various faiths and the one thing they all say in response to "tell me about God" is
God is all Seeing!
He is all knowing!
God cares deeply about each and everyone of us
God answers the prayers of those who ask
And He is a Merciful God
So when I ask them about themselves in their faith the response is:
We are God Fearing men and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ
So forgive my possibly silly if not even blasphemous questions, but tell me
If God is all seeing, all knowing , cares so much for each and everyone of us, answers the prayers of those who ask and is oh! so Merciful WHY are you afraid of them?
Why DO you follow the Teachings of Jesus, who regardless was a Man yes granted he was the son of God, but we are also taught through the Bible that we are all Gods children, and why are people of faith so quick to judge the opinions of those who choose to ask questions like these?
I happen to think God or Universal spirit what ever you call them, is more of an observer.
Yes! when an occasions arises and they/he are feeling generous, they/he do answer questions and prayers, but otherwise it must be like watching a multi channeled Television.
If you want to see a beautiful place look at the Jungles or the ice capped Poles, want to watch a soap opera look at the western world, want to see a war look at the middle east, if you want to watch suffering and hardship look at the starving masses and finally to see violence and suffering and things that would make your hair stand up on end look at Africa and the cradle of civilisation.
A God who cares and takes an active role in the lives of each and everyone of us would not allow this to happen to their loved ones, would you let it happen to your family.

It is a bit like, we are given free will and the ability to choose, the rest is up to us..... from time to time we are given a helping hand or a nudge in the direction God may wish us to take, but then it is left to us to use it or not......
What do you think?
Oh and yes I understanding some of you will say "oh you will Burn for this one!"
But I think God gave us this questioning mind to use and understand the world around us and would understand I am using what I was given to do that with....
