We perceive truth as accurate information. If God
is
truth, we relate to him with accurate information.
Beliefs vs. truth:
Although we are free to believe
in anything that we want, there are consequences for
replacing the
real truth for misleading beliefs. For example, throughout time
humanity has sought the means
to
cure and prevent illness. But due to our tendency to have faith in
unreliable beliefs and lies only a few effective remedies were
discovered among a mass of
pseudo cures of purely superstitious origin. Millions died because of
our ignorance. In all of these cases, beliefs not only did not help,
but caused much damage. In fact, many more people have died because of
their beliefs than have ever been healed by faith.
The power of
our beliefs can be very strong, but the result still will
not become truth. For instance, in the case of false pregnancies
(Pseudocyesis) women present all the symptoms of a real pregnancy. Not
only
do they ardently believe they are pregnant, but they also have
nausea and vomiting, cessation of menstruation, breast enlargement,
abdominal enlargement and food cravings. Some patients with the
disorder
even test positive on pregnancy tests. But in the end, the certain
knowledge of the truth is that there is no baby
Throughout
the history of mankind, most people have lived in a world of ignorance,
superstitions, irrationality
and beliefs. Lack of validated knowledge and good information
characterized that age. The different religions are the product
of those times, and
are still reflecting mentalities, beliefs, and attitudes thousands
of years old. Due to their inability for
getting authentic knowledge of truth, the different religions had to
rely on beliefs. The
fastest way for any religion to discontinue its search
for truth is by defining a dogma, declaring it the truth and
then believing beyond any doubt that it is such. In fact, their main
belief is that their beliefs are the truth.
Only
in the last 100 years valid
knowledge
really
started to
increase dramatically in the culture of the world. But although we
are living now what is called the “Information Age”
or an age of knowledge, religion has not kept pace with the rest of our
advances in knowledge, and it is still living in an age of faith,
beliefs, and superstitions. Each religion has shackled itself to its
beliefs, maintaining its
traditional dogma with all the errors and flaws.
Who realized
that there is something wrong with faith and religion:
- Pastors who quit the
institutional church (Between 1400 to 3000 pastors a month either
resign or are
fired in the USA alone).
- Priests who quit the Catholic
priesthood (One out of every three priests eventually gets married).
- Those who have been hurt by the
Church or have been burned by organized religion.
- Those who still go to church,
but do not feel God’s presence in the service; can't find God
in church.
- Those who are left spiritually
unfulfilled
and empty by Sunday services.
- Those who
see how people warm the pews week after week with little actual life
transformation.
- Those who do not care about God
anymore, blaming him for the defects of religion.
- Atheists, who then have a good
reason for criticizing the believers.
- Those who have totally rejected
organized
religion and the institutional church.
Because of
dissatisfaction with organized religion, church attendance has decrease
significantly in the USA, Canada and Europe. However, rejecting
organized religion
is sometimes equivalent to being thrown into the unknown and the
unfamiliar. Therefore, many do not question their religion. But some
stop believing altogether in God and others accept
philosophies
and disparate ideas that are just as bad, or even worse, than what they
previously believed. Some of those who reject organized religion, but
still
believe in
God, feel
like nobody else shares their view or do not know where to turn for
guidance. But they are not alone. There are over 100
million people in the USA alone who are devoted to
God, but do not attend church services anymore.
An alternative
to faith and organized religion:
Can we find God
without organized religion? In the
Information Age we finally can, and
should, replace our beliefs in God for knowledge of him, and faith for
certainty. Today, we can find the truth
of God without depending on faith and
religion by applying an objective,
rational,
knowledge based,
faithless
approach to the subject of religion and God. Do
not let a
religion replace the true God in your life.
The
book "If God is Truth" applies a modern, knowledge based, faithless
approach to our relationship with God.
This book challenges the way we have traditionally looked at God and
truth. The
best way to develop a
personal relationship with someone is to get to know that someone
intimately. It is hard to maintain a healthy relationship with someone
based on conjectures and assumptions. But religion can only
offer
you unreliable beliefs, convictions and assumptions. And
it shows!...
The main goal of
religion should be to bring mankind closer to God. "If God is Truth"
shows you what
the religions should be teaching, if only they knew what to teach. In
an age of knowledge, there is more evidence and information than ever,
which together with rational, objective deductions can guide
us to
accurate conclusions. Instead of assuming and having faith, "If God is
Truth" depends on the use of reason and the logical processing of
information
to guarantee its accuracy.
The book
also takes into account our weaknesses and limitations to process
information correctly, teaching its readers to think for
themselves.
The
purpose of "If God is Truth"
is to guide its readers to a successful relationship with the real God,
beyond religion and faith. This book seeks to educate, instead of
convert because it is not about religion, but about God. Replace your
religion for an authentic relationship with God, unhindered by dogma,
creed, or ritual.
Description
of "If God is Truth":
Most
religions assume in faith that God's truth is revealed to
them
through sacred texts, like the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Bible,
etc. However, faith alone cannot confirm the accuracy of any of these
sources of information, so the possibility of errors is very high. As a
matter of fact, the existence of so many different, contrasting
religious doctrines worldwide really proves a lack of knowledge about
God. If knowing God is the sign of a good relationship with him, then
we just do not have a good relationship. If God is Truth, faith is not
enough. In reality, most of our religious beliefs simply are self
deception and fallacy, which we often accepted as children. But if the
real God is Truth, then false information about him, counterfeit
truths, distortions and lies will hinder our relationship with this
God.
Research also
shows that the leading reasons for belonging to a
specific religion are being raised as a child inside of it or being
influenced by a family member into converting to it; hardly the ideal
way to find the true God! If God really is the Truth, and we would like
to maintain a good relationship with him, we should love and pursue
truth in all of its forms. Therefore, we should validate all
information for accuracy and abandon any false beliefs. That is
why, "If God is Truth" provides you with a more
objective, reliable view of God and his mentality, which goes beyond
religion and faith. More accurate information about God's
mind
and truth will help you to connect with the living God and
achieve a successful personal relationship with him; one that is based
on truth.
Why
do you want to buy "If God is Truth":
Some benefits
have always been associated with a good relationship with
God. Such as integrity, wisdom, peace, real and unconditional love,
salvation, joy, freedom, life, forgiveness, truth, etc. In
fact, a friendship with God
addresses the key issue for our lives. This is... to want or
crave, to be incomplete. Your creator designed you in such a manner
that apart from him, you will be hungry, even after you ate. And you
will be cold, even in warm weather. And you will be lonely, even when
in the company of millions. You, without him, are not totally complete,
even if you have it all. God created us to fulfill a purpose. If you
are
not fulfilling God's purpose for your life, your life will
always
be unfulfilled. And since the book "If God is Truth" is
specifically
about how
to maintain a healthy relationship with God, all those benefits come
with it. But "If God is Truth" makes a very strong emphasis in another
benefit. A benefit that often goes ignored, although
in my opinion it is the best one; this is a change
in mentality. A
new mentality really means a whole
new person. Whatever information we have in our minds determines the
attitude we will have in any situation. Thus, "If God is Truth" aims to
renew your mind with
revised, validated information and more accurate concepts for a more
rational, wiser mind.
