I was raised a Catholic, I believe Jesus was a historical figure of staggering influence, perhaps the most enigmatic and inspirational leader the world has ever seen, he founded new philosophies, he inspired millions to better lives, he preached about love and a single God, and I believe in a single God...
I believe that God is the most cosmic being in the entire universe; I believe he is more than cosmic, he is beyond cosmic, and he is beyond all human imagination...
I believe all the gods and goddesses from the five major religions of the world, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, all correspond to the one and only God, that God has many shapes and forms in different religions, but they are all one and the same...
Someone told me that my belief in God is unique, since it is not what most people believe, and that it is impossible because all the gods and goddesses from all those religions have different personalities, in my opinion, that’s giving human terms to God, you cannot give God a single personality, like I said, God is beyond all human imagination...
Someone asked me, “So was Jesus a liar?
John 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.�
I answered that I believe Jesus is God and God is Jesus, then how can Jesus be a liar? "I am the way, and the truth, and the life,� what Jesus meant in my interpretation, is God is the way, the truth, and the life, “No one comes to the Father except through me,� what Jesus meant is that no one comes to Heaven except through God, and since God represents all the gods and goddesses in all religions, that they are all one and the same God, so when a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, etc, pray and believe in God, they are praying and believing in Jesus, whether they know it or not, because God is Jesus and Jesus is God, God is far too great to be limited to one religion...
An atheist asked me, “So do you also believe in all the different afterlife destinations of each god? If so, how do you know which one you are destined for?�
I answered that Heaven is not a destination or place, I believe it is a spiritual state of being, a state of being close to God, but it’s hard to describe, but then it’s impossible to describe Heaven in human terms, it is beyond human imagination...
Someone told me, “You are claiming that when the Jews made the calf out of gold and called it a "god" because Moses spent too many days on a mountain, you believe that it is a god. It is not.�
I answered that while I believe that all the good gods and goddesses correspond to the one and only God, I also believe that all the evil gods and goddesses correspond to the Devil, so what the Jews made out of gold is not God, but the Devil.
Despite what I believe, I still love and will always love Jesus, because Jesus was my first childhood hero, like I said, he inspired millions to better lives through his philosophies, he preached about love and kindness, and I still believe going to Church is a great way to communicate to God, actually going to the Buddhist and Hindu temples, Mosques, Synagogues are great ways to communicate to God, but since I was born a Catholic, so for myself, going to Church is a great way to communicate to God, since that is where I learned of God and of Jesus...
A universal God belief, what do you think?
