Lord and One Another

God, Yahweh, Allah. It does not matter what you call him, he answers to all names. Did he send a son, or a prophet? This is a vastly unimportant question. You pray not to his son, or his prophets. We pray to him. He is the one. There is only one. The prophets are for our guidance, not our worship. He sent the prophets so that we may have something to teach us the way. His prophets were a guide for how we should treat each other, not who we should pray to. The stories of the Bible, Torah, Koran, may be just that, stories. This does not matter in his eyes. It is not how we pray, or how many verses we recite, or how many alters we kneel at. It is how we treat our fellow man. How we love Him, and how we live our lives. Think about this, and shift your efforts from Him, to Us. He is there to listen, and to guide, not to receive your thanks. 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work As it is written: "They have scattered abroad their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever." He would have you give your money to the poor, not to the churches, and the pastors bishops and priests. Our efforts go towards helping the needy, not to build the largest religious dwelling you can afford. All you need for community worship is just that, a community who wishes to worship together. No walls, or lounges or food benefits the act of worship. Let us shift our efforts into helping each other, let us make this world greater for each other. And let the Lord help you, for this is what he wants.
