God

God, Religion and Man


God and religion are two puzzle right from the beginning of mankind. Every time
thinking man tried to find a solution or rather an answer to God .In horeb , in the burning bush
Yehowa told Moses that “ I am who I am ‘ But it was not a convincing Answer . But after
few thousand years, Jesus Christ gave answer to this puzzle to His disciples . St John, through
out in his Gospel gives the answer as told by Jesus . He is the Way, Truth, Eternal life and Resurrection .Even though all the major religions of Humanity originated from Asia, lot of researches and deliberations had taken place in the western hemisphere .

During the early days of human inhabitance in this world, any thing which is beyond
his comprehension was God . It may be thunder, lightning, snake, sun, moon etc . Similarly,
masculine and feminine gods had equal status . Earlier pagan Gods were paired as husband and wife .
For each actions they coined a separate God. All powerful omnipotent God derived in
later centuries .Abraham the Israeli patriarch is the first known who worshiped the
all powerful God Yehowa .But there is a mention of a Priest and king of god the most high, Melchizedek in Genisis14-18. All these pagan Gods or God the most high were cruel or one to whom there was no easy access. Moses told the Israelites no man should touch the mountain not even an animal in that case, it should be stoned to death. Yehowa was considered to be the God of Army that is equally good for Hindu mythological Gods.

But through centuries man’s concepts of God changed to a still mild and compassionate
God, who is caring the day today life of man, who is sympathetic to his sorrows, worries and even in his happiness .Similarly during the Axle age (750 BC to 1st centaury CE) feminine Goddesses,
gently pushed back to the oblivion . When the Son of God, member of the trinity born this world
through Virgin Mary, He was an equal ordinary human being except in sin . Even Allah of Mohammed was compassionate.

In the later part of 20th centaury, a calculated move started to bring back the lost paradise
of Feminism and Goddesses. Priory sion, Davance Code, projecting Mary Magdalene as the
wife and heir of Jesus Christ are few examples. Had Jesus was having a wife what prevented him
from proclaiming it . Those day’s social customs were not preventing it. He was and is the God
and above all the human temptations . Just before him starting his earthly mission he was in the wilderness, after the forty days fast, when he was communing with His father. Satan came to tempt
Him with, food, wealth, power and supremacy of the world. But he came out victorious .All the
perverted theories circulating today are bound to face natural death . Globalization and commercialization of society is an easy platform to spread the wild fires.

“we cannot see God intellectually , but if we let ourselves be enveloped in the cloud that
dissented up on mount Sinai , we will feel His presence “ This is the word of great Capodocian Father Basil.
