Shattered Fragments

Just wanted to give a quick post, Got an interesting comment from a fellow blogger on my last post. Feel free to have a look. I did have a quick look at his blog, and I do apologise that i haven’t taken a whole heap of time to find your stand point (which i would love to hear), but saying that I’m not here to down on what anyone believes so this isn’t really a response as much as something there spiked a little thought in my head which I thought I would share.

This thought brought on my the idea that we are all God. Now There are all different types of variations of this, which im sure as usual, is people taking the parts they like to create a comfy little belief system to exist in. One variation is we are all direct Sons of God in the same way that Jesus is, some would say we actually are God broken into small little fragments for whatever purpose.

Strangely one of the best embodiments of this concept I’ve seen this viewed in the Sci-Fi Series Babylon 5. One of the faiths displayed in this series is this Idea that the universe was unable to understand itself and what it is, so it became a shattered fragments so that it would find its purpose. These Shattered Fragments being the you and me and every being in the universe.

Its all this idea that humans as we appear are lowly and not very important. I’m sure we’ve all felt that way at some point, which is why things like Scientology and New Age are so popular because you get to become something cool, something more that what you appear some powerful god or goddess or alien or even if you like God himself. The truth is we as human being, the race of ‘Men’ (apologies, I’m not being sexist, its just the term we are referenced as) are incredibly amazing beings as we are created. The Bible says we are made in Gods Image, the Direct Translation of this from the Hebrew word actually translates into “only a small amount of God missing”. As to what is missing i leave that for you to decide, but imagine its along the lines omnipresence and the whole all-powerful bit. Evolution does a great job to create the belief that we are nothing but accidents created from whatever was laying around, but know that we were each created as God-like creatures and the reason for this is simple. Only a being made like God By God could truly being in Fellowship with Him.

Also if you get a chance head over to annaasks.wordpress.com My wife’s Blog which also explores the harder questions about Faith. She has Started a set on Gods Triune being, the Trinity. God is actually of 3 parts yet 1. 

The Edge of Faith and Reason

“Just have Faith“. Have you ever been slapped with that conversation stopper? I know I have, I’m sure I’ve used it myself in my younger days of being a Christian. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t believe the comment to be fundamentally wrong, actually i believe it to be completely correct, What I’ve come to have an gripe with is the use of the word Faith.  So where is the line? Where is the Edge where Reason ends and Faiths begins.

That’s what I’ll be blogging about. Hitting up the hard questions and trying to find some answers. Now I promise I’ll do my research, But you should never take anyones opinions as fact. I’m sure ill write things that rattle the cages a little but i also hope that it will inspire some to do their own research to Find Faiths Edge.

Sometimes this will just be ideas, interesting things I’ve read, something i saw, If it gets your mind ticking then ill write it down. I’m no longer going to be satisfied being a Christian who sits in the corner with my hands over my ears, We cant just explain everything away as ‘faith’ and not have answers that require more than just sitting in church and singing to songs. And Jesus said ‘Everyone on the side of truth listens to me”. This is a search for some truth. Ill be happy to hear comments from enyone about anything i write down, ill do my best to write back where i can. 

 

I’ll Start writing here soon.
