No one knows and will ever know for certain, learn to let go the feeling of knowing and open up the realization that we as humans aren’t designed to know but to keep digging and trying. If fish were meant to fly they would.
Us humans are designed to know. Just as within this life, there are proper and productive ways to communicate and have conversations, the same is with God. We've been taught by the precepts of men on how to tap into the Source, when we receive the answer we're looking for most people scoff at it and forget that that experience ever happened. There are so many things I've learned about this universe, how we're made, etc. that's only by asking through prayer. Sober, humble and sincerely.
There are so many levels that we aren't hitting as people, it's amazing.
It’s okay to believe without adhering to religion.
Religion, like everything nowadays, is corrupted and brain washing.
Better to find your own faith.

So many people keep saying this but it isn’t true. It isn’t religion that’s wrong or corrupted or wicked, it’s us humans and our relationship with it. We are the ones who are truly imperfect and flawed.

Religion is a human created concept
It can not exist without wrongness, wickedness or corruption because humans can not exist without wrongness, wickedness or corruption.
What does Kaaba represent?
@alphabear
What does the new moon symbol represent?
I didn't list Islam within that group because I'm not familiar with it. Not going to get into the disrespectful talk that Western Americans do.
My viewpoint is that it's a stumbling block for black people, because if we aren't Christians, then we're most likely practicing Muslims, whether NOI or the original.
Just as it states here
Deut 28:64
And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Christianity being the wood and Islam being the stone. Those gods of wood and stone have various other components but the Christianity and Islam are the two major religions within the diaspora that we worship.
You said every religion so had to clarify it incase people believe it's actually true.
The Kaaba is to unify Muslims around the world to worship in one direction. Muslims are not worshipping the stone itself and understand it has no power like people do with idols etc
Not sure what the rest of your post is about. Both religions have clear distinctions and as you know also NOI has nothing to do with Islam.

Is it human created or human discovered? If we’re going off the basis of there being an all knowing all being omnipresent God then religion has always been, there just has been times where we have discovered it.

The crescent moon and the Kaaba stone aren't references for Saturn Worship?
I'm asking about the origins and true meanings of the images. Not symbols of worship like the Kabba stone or the Christian/Catholic Cross but the actual origins and ancient meaning.

The Kaaba was built by Abraham & Ismael as a tributary house for God/Allah/Elohim.
The crescent moon is the symbol of the Ottoman Empire that the Muslim world adopted, has nothing to do with Islam.
NOI is not real Islam. They’re a black empowerment league which uses Abrahamic values, not Islamic.
Google’s your friend.
I believe in god but i don't follow any religion by their given book. I just try to be a good person everyday the best way possible
Can’t believe people think Islam is a pagan religion lmaooo. We freak the fk out when prophets are drawn, you think we’d attribute physicality to God himself?
Jews & Muslims don’t give a physical shape to God. We pray towards the Kaaba NOT because that’s God, BUT the symbolic/tributary house of God. God is no where in that as a statue or anything.
Is it human created or human discovered? If we’re going off the basis of there being an all knowing all being omnipresent God then religion has always been, there just has been times where we have discovered it.
Well it’s really all interpretation right?
This omnipresent entity could be sending out messages but it all comes down to how the individual receives and interprets and everyone is different so there will be a lot of different deductions.
For those flocking to psychedelics for spirituality are fooling themselves.

This is where I'm at currently. I'm not so set on the literal son of god thing though but I really support the image of Christ. Thanks for the post
🖤
What you’re feeling is exactly how you should be feeling. Christianity isn’t determined by religious practices. It’s all centered around faith (the Bible makes this very clear). If you have faith in God and that Jesus came to earth and died on the cross then that’s really all you need. Of course we should strive to stay out of sin because sin corrupts our connection with God. If you have any questions lemme know
This is why I ended up bringing psychedelics into my spiritual practice.
Tired of reading about other ppl who felt god, saw god, etc. and decided I should look inward and see what looks back and together we can go from there.
It's been working well so far!
Before I got confirmed in 2015, my class went on this camp and we'd go up one by one so that people from our church formed a circle around us and prayed that the holy spirit would be revealed. We would be in the center, palms facing upwards and whoever was praying would be directly across, palms facing downwards.
I had my doubts about God's existence at the time but I can't explain what I felt in that moment. There was some kind of powerful force, almost like a wind, that felt like it was about to knock me off my feet. But somehow I also knew it wouldn't, I was totally at peace and comfortable. Between my hands and the person who was praying, there was some kind of force. The closest thing I can compare it to is when you have two magnets close to each other and you feel them pulling. The bible describing it as a flame is probably the most accurate comparison based on the knowledge the disciples had.
I felt so euphoric in that moment, I understood why old people in church dedicate their whole lives to religion Closest thing I've felt to that is being on psychedelics

That's beautiful. I've felt that same sensation both alone and with others. It's a wondrous thing.
Here's what I did and what I know to be 100% facts. Pray to God for the Truth. Pray for understanding of who you are, how the world was made etc. Any questions you have, ask it in prayer. God is the realest experience in the world.
You don't need d**** etc. just a sober mind and an honest heart.
I'll give you a hint, every religion from Christianity, Catholicism, Hindu etc. worship the same pagan diety. Babylonian Trinity of Tammuz, Nimrod and Ishtar. Yes there are core productive principles in every "religion" however the Bible says that the New Year is in March/April (depending on the year) that's why Easter (passover) is in April - sometimes May.
But, Christians celebrate New Years in January because it's pagan worship. Christmas is Nimrod's and Tammuz' birthday. Cited here, God exposes this Tammuz worship to Ezekiel.
That's why some ppl do lent, whetether they're aware of it or not, it's worshipping the ancient Babylonian dieties. That's apart of why the bible calls this modern world Mystery Babylon.
Jesus is real af. Read the historical accounts of him, he really existed. He's coming back.
Jesus was definitely a real person crucified around that period for being the Messiah. I think where the debate comes in is whether or he not he was actually the son of God. I don't see why or how all that he did would be fabricated by multiple different people. Like how would he even fake healing people who were crippled or blind
Imagine going through all that torture and dying for other people Jesus was a real nigga (double entendre)
I spoke to a god on like my second dmt trip maybe try that
Legit
I’m all for believing in a creator but we’re all in charge of our own destiny. Life is what you make it and we all have the strength within to conquer whatever hurdles are in our way

Agree 100%. It's just conflicting growing up without any religion, then finding oneness and building a foundation of God as people/nature/the universe not bound to religion... then seeing friends and artists I'm heavily influenced by find themselves more than than I have through religion
