My Views and Beliefs about Life, the World and God

I'm sure many of you will hold different views to these. I am not trying to convert you, just presenting these so we can challenge each other's views to arrive at the truth. Feel free to comment.

I have been a Christian for many years. However, I think and feel in the core of being that Christianity's claim to hold the only truth is mistaken.I think other religions hold some truths about God and life as well, which I will express. But I think Christianity's claim that Jesus is the Son of God who paid the price to connect us back to God, is real, because I've prayed and ask Him to heal my neck, shoulders and jaw joint, and the pain is gone.

Truth #1
God creates the material world - including the stars, universe, matter and us. (Christianity, Islam, Sikh, etc)

Truth #2
God is one but exists in 3-form (the Trinity). They live for each other and satisfy each other. God is the Source, Son is the redeemer/builder/healer, Holy Spirit is the one who destroys evil for the Son to re-build. (Christianity, Hindu, etc)

Why? The human body reflects this system. There are osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblastic cells and osteoclastics cells. Matter exists in 3 states. The creation would reflect the nature of the creator.

Truth #3
God's nature is all-good, holy, pure and glorious. In Him there is no evil, and evil is the result of absence of God

Truth #4
God and mankind used to co-exist and live together. (Christianity, African religion) The natural state is a state of balanced harmony and interdependence.(Taoism)

Truth #5
Something happened so that mankind is separated from God, or relationship between God and humans are damaged. Sickness, death, pain and evil come when God is absent. A price needs to be paid to connect back to Godi.e. by animal sacrifices to atone.

Why? Many religions practised animal sacrifices- there must be an origin

Truth #6
In the absence of God, the earth become corrupted with things that are not of God. Human beings become ignorant, selfish and live to please themselves with no regards for others. They become their own gods- they live for themselves with qualities that are present in the absence of God (not at all God's). That is the way of someone who is not in touch with God and God is not in his/her heart.

Truth #7
The goal of humankind is to re-connect to God (Hinduism, Christianity, Sikh, etc)

Truth #8
Jesus Christ is the healer and restorer. He paid the price for human kinds to connect back to God.
But the Lord's prayer is not necessary to connect with God. One only needs to seek God and he/she will find God. 

Truth #9
The one who loves and not hate already knows God, and he/she is with God. Because to love is a character of God.

Truth #10
The more we are in touch with God i.e. pray, meditate, seek Him, the attributes of God in us will be amplified, and we will want to do good and not harm others. We will detest evil and doing evil and we will want to do good because it feels right and it is right. That is righteousness. And likewise if we do not meditate on God and seek Him, we will start to follow the predominant values in this fallen earth- those of evil and impurity.

Truth #11
God created us with specific purposes to fulfill. Some He created to be teachers, other builders, etc. There are things He created for us to enjoy too like family, relationships, sex and love. The general aims are fruitfulness and multiplication. We are to enjoy life and uncover our life purposes and live it out, for the good of the earth and others, for personal satisfaction and for God's delight too. There is a battle to be fought as well, to overcome evil with good, and be like the pure white lily amidst the muddy water.(Buddhism)

Truth #12
Mankind can be united with God in the spirit realm after they die if they so desire. But if they refuse they will exist in the absence of God (hell).

Truth #13
Hell is the place for people who denounce God and not want to be with God. They just want to live with themselves and for themselves.

Truth #14
A new earth will be established, connected to heaven, where there is no evil, sickness, sorrow and pain. Instead the place will house God's glorious presence and be filled with Him and His goodness attributes.

Truth#15
Faith is a powerful thing. Believe, and it shall be done so. Believing attracts the things you are believing for to existence. But there is truth as well and that is un
changeable.

According to Gods word, everything you have just written about have need of your re-evaluation. I am a truth seeker. The truth I seek is that of the Holy scriptures of the Bible, the Old and New Testament. In as much as God's word being the only truth there is about reality, you have confessed things that are not so according to God's word. There is only one way to the father and that is through Jesus Christ the son of the living God. Claiming to be a Christian, you should re-apply yourself on your knees before him and ask him to open your eyes to his Holy truth. For there is much more to him than the masses of professed Christians believe in these days. Read your bible, but pray first asking for guidance.
I am not telling you this for any other reason than that the biblical truth is the only holding truth that exists among the lost world that we live in today.
God bless you in your seeking him.
