Views on God by a religion of one

Mark Sumner

A lesson to do today for my class at church. I am doing it on a recurring theme with me . God's (or the creators) purpose for us and the world. How do we know it? We become aware of Gods purpose or at the minimum gain clarity when we are operating from a purely Spiritual perspective. There is no negativity there. No jealousy, no hatred, no discord, no factions, no selfish ambition. When the scripture says God made man in his image, he was not refering to some anthropomorphic long bearded, ZZ Top individual in the clouds. It was telling us that first and foremost, we are Spirit. With a capital S. The occupiers as they have come to be called may have begun with good intent but the moment any of the above traits crept into their dialogue is when they lost the argument. That is if there IS an argument.
Really, Gods purpose is not for us to throw rocks and cups of urine on those who try to up hold the law. Gods purpose is not to take from one individual by force what they have earned and give it to another. That is no better than strong arm robbery. What needs to happen is the Spirit that is truely us needs to "Occupy" our hearts and minds so that we give of our own free will and with love. That is the only way Gods true purpose will be revealed.
