I'm hoping we have some people here who can answer this question for me. I will openly admit that I am not a Religious Believer. There are times I question whether God as a large portion of the Planet tends to believe, actually exist. What I mean is, the traditional concept of God in Heaven, Pearly Gates and Angels playing Harpsichords sitting around God's Throne. Nah, that just doesn't work for me but I do in fact believe Christ actually lived and I'm extremely open to the idea that Christ traveled around the Lands preaching God's Word.
Even though God's Word has been so misinterpreted over the Centuries by so many.
Today is Good Friday, the day we recognize as the day Christ gave his life in the Name of God. The ultimate sacrifice to not only demonstrate his love for God but to also illustrate God's Power over Life & Death by rising from the Dead on the third day and walking amongst the people once again.
Did this actually happen or simply another Tale? Anyway, one thing that has always bothered me throughout my life is compatible to a Star Trek Movie I once saw. I think it was the first Star Trek Movie where this Alien proclaimed himself as God. He produced a vast many displays of power and unexplained actions that no Mortal Man could create however it was important for him to take control over the Enterprise and Mr. Spock asked the question,"Why does God need a Star Ship?" At that moment Capt. Kirk caught on to where Mr. Spock was going with his question and repeated Mr. Spock's question by asking this Entity, "Yes, Why would God need a Star Ship?"
Point is, if this Alien was in fact God, He wouldn't need a Star Ship to get from one place to another. Well I listen to the Laws of God and one of them is "Thou Shalt not have any other Gods before me" . The wording might be a little off but the meaning is simple. According to God, you are not to worship any other God other than God Himself. You are not to kneel or bow or place any person, place or thing as a symbol of Worship and greater than yourself. Now this is something I clearly don't understand because even during the time of Jesus Christ, there were Kings and people of wealth & position. But like the Star Trek question, I've always wondered, if you're God, why would you need for people to Worship you? I find it difficult to believe God has an ego and needs to feel special by forcing Mankind to Worship Him or suffer the consequences.
Can someone explain this to me :confused:
