For every functioning brain and heart is a mouth and a hand that could write and speak ideas, concepts, secrets, theories, truths etc. Since the year 2000, 6 billion of these mouths and pairs of hands have populated the earth, and I don't know if we should be excited about the limitless possibilities this can offer, or should we even be more confused by the minute each day? He said this, she said that, they wrote this, they found that, we argue this, they propose that.
STOP.
Religion, Science, Art, Medicine, Philosophy, History, Linguistics, Ethics, etc., have all emerged and evolved at a dangerous speed, and they are still the grounding principles that are taught in our learning institutions at present time. DNA, Evolution, Big Bang, Atheism, Buddhism, Opus Dei, Mensa, Ku Klux Klan, etc., etc., etc.
STOP.
After seeing the movie The Da Vinci Code yesterday, I got a sigh of relief in realizing that I don't have to join the game He Says She Says anymore. Everyone is arguing about everything, everyone is doing everything to come up with the Truth, but does anyone really know the Truth these days? If the Bible is a farce, then what is the truth? Or is it true that it is a farce? Who do we believe these days? The same man who is criticized for writing ancient truths and heavenly writing is accused by another man of the same specie, limitations, weakness, imperfections, rotting flesh, and 70 year life expectancy. Is something very odd or illogical about this picture? Everything! (Hello parents, teachers, writers!) I am not defending any religion or myself, I am simply throwing an argument on who really is the Supreme Authority of the Truth.
Tom Hanks' character Robert Langdon sums it all up very well in the end when he tells Sophie Neveu (played by Audrey Tautou) that it is all about what she BELIEVES IN. That was the redeeming point of the movie, I BELIEVE, because after all is said and done, heard and seen, committed and acted upon, it is our innermost being that can truly say this is my Truth, and this shall set me free. If you were the only human being on this earth, roaming around and living in it, what or who would you believe in? Where did you come from? Where are you headed towards? What is this life all about? You could buy Dan Brown's book and make him richer or you could have 6 other billion minds tell you what they think is true, and dictate upon you how you should eat, drink, sleep, wake, pray, live and die. Or try being with a loved one in their last hours on their deathbed, or putting yourself in a near death experience, and then tell the world which of these 6 billion human beings will you now trust or believe in?
NOT ANYMORE.
If you are thirsty, you get a drink. If you want to know how much Oprah makes you go ask her. If you want a medical opinion you ask your doctor. If you want to know about God, don't go to Dan Brown or some other human being. Go ask God Himself! He is the one in question here so He should be allowed to reveal Himself. Too much bullshit by some third party bystanders have been said and written about Him, it's about time we learn how to commune with Him.
Seek God and live.
Hebrews 11:1
"The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see."
