Polls: Religion & Spirituality

An inspired Apostle Paul wrote this long ago about knowledge and wisdom.

Do you think that is true? Maybe it is just true for some people... Jesus said, not everyone was His, his follower. Maybe some people would prefer all knowledge.

1 Corinthians

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, b but do not have love, I gain nothing.

So if you knew everything, like who killed JFK, and why everything happened and how... but you wouldn't get love.

The other option is... you are loved eternally...

which would you take?

To me... it's an easy choice... once I had all knowledge, I'd be bored and want love!

Without god where does your guidance and values come from? Modern propaganda? LGBT?

For context refer to my last post, but when we were coworkers after she found out I was sort of into religion and went to church with my parents. She would constantly bug me about coming to her youth group for awhile, saying things such as “when are you going to come to my church “. Especially given that her church was in a different language. Went on for about a few weeks to a month I’d say before I finally went lol. When I went she sat next to me to help translate and would share a bible while going through the verses her hands/fingers would graze/ touch mine fairly often to the point where I got semi uncomfortable at times

Obviously, both are just beliefs. You can't prove or disprove either. Lots of intelligent people have agreed and disagreed with both beliefs. Sure, the belief that all people are created equal is fashionable today, but that does not make it a fact. And the belief that God exists has been fashionable at times too.

From a book I am reading on how the mind works...

"The reason people who are exposed to the same external stimuli do not remember and react the same way as each other is because everyone deletes, distorts, and generalises differently based on their own metaprograms, values, beliefs, memories, and decisions."

I'll avoid defining all of that, but you can read it in "Neuro linguistic Programming for Dummies" or ask for clarification.

Question is... do you agree, that your beliefs influence how you interpret and react? It's one of the key learnings I had from believing in Christ for salvation. It's instramental in all solutions to problems asked on GAG... your pre-existing beliefs, influence the outcome.

This is fundamental to how I see things working and I find it to be true. I wonder if everyone thinks that.
