Will there be a second coming?
Humanity calls upon God daily to redeem our souls and forgive us of our sins, yet we continue to sin, constantly asking for
God's grand intervention to save us from ourselves. Humanity is
convinced that God will save us from ourselves; the majority of
human beings and religions are convinced that God will save or
destroy us. But where are the religious doctrines and orientations
for our current and future generations? Is the present generation
convinced, as many are, that God is coming to save this world?
Where, in fact, do we stand on this long path of human evolution?
We have envisioned the coming of God to save the human race.
As the nature of humanity slips beyond our grasp, we are still asking God for His divine intervention.
We now stand on the threshold of a new awareness, a new
awareness for all who have questioned the possibility or probability of God's existence. It is also for those who have faith that God
exists.
Mankind has reached a point where it does not need God
for material support. We no longer have to travel by foot or other
outmoded means of transportation. We can fly higher than any
bird; we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world.
The miracles of man's inventions have made it possible to do all of
the things that our ancestors could only dream of or pray for God
to do, so why do we still need God?
I believe that mankind was not created as we are told, spontaneously out of the earth, nor were we created out of circumstances
which relate to just the natural order of physical science or of
mother nature. So the question becomes: what and who is that creative entity in actuality? A simple answer, if I were to believe that God is the only ruler of this universe. I, like many others, could
satisfy my need to know more about creation and life if I endeavored to study only what has been revealed about such matters.
Other questions, however, plague my mind, questions like: how
did this superior being decided to create the universe and life?
Why did He create human beings? How does He expect human
beings to rule His created world? Why didn't the envoy teach us
about the world as we have come to understand it? What is religion as it relates to each of its religious founders? From what source did the religious founder teach religion? There are a number of religious books with different answers to these questions,
but which is correct? Buddha, Indra, Mohammed, and Christ gave to mankind a
realization of something greater than we are capable of learning
from our natural cognitive process. They taught mankind of someone who existed, but this entity was invisible, unreachable,
untouchable, and intangible. So why did mankind come to have
faith in Him;
Before I discovered the Messages, I imagined that life was due
to some extraordinary principle of nature. When I looked at a forest, or felt a gust of wind, I wondered how these things came into existence. Surely there had to be some explanation other than God just saying let there be this or that! Why was it that God could
spontaneously create an entire universe, a planet with inhabitants,
and laws to follow, yet there was no peace in the world? The universe follows specific laws: there is gravity, inertia, and the natural
laws of nature, and nothing and no one can change these laws.
Yet the very laws that were given as instructions to mankind
by God's envoys were not being obeyed. God said to love your
fellow man, to share and to cooperate with him. He commanded
for us to come together in harmony, peace, and unity.
For centuries, however, mankind has yet to reach a state of brotherhood
and peace. How can we go on believing in God if He doesn't
somehow enforce His commandments? Does He really exist?
In today's world I witness our children having similar doubts
and questions. They have reached a point where they just don't
care about our religious beliefs or God. Who is to blame? Is it
God's or mankind's fault? Who is responsible for shaping a person's view, as well as our children’s faith about religion and God?
