  • Hi Members,

    Along the highway was a billboard....nothing fancy to catch the eye. Seemed as if it could quite easily be overlooked. No artistic art work....no exotic colors or neon lights nor beautiful backdrop. Maybe it was the simplicity of it that drew my attention.

    On it read one question......a question that really made me think....If you could ask God one question....what would it be? Now, i would think a million questions should flood through my mind all at once.....but what made it so difficult to come up with the question was, i was only allowed one.

    Do i ask why am i here....will i make it through the pearly gates....whats the winning lotto numbers for tomorrow or something deeper. Why did this person have to die or why is their disease or is their really a heaven?

    One question......just one question. What would you ask God?

    Lips
  • Well, here's mine:

    WHY? (Meaning all of this, creation, Heaven/Hell, tribulations suffering wars, life, death, anger sorrow on and on etc)

    Why couldn't we have stayed in Heaven, sung his praise and been happy eternally?

  •       I think of alll the questions that come to mind, the one that I find I ask myself over and over is  "Will I make it to Heaven?"  It almost feels like a selfish question to me, yet that is the one I am most concerned about.  I know if I can make it to Heaven, all the other questions I may ever have will be answered at that time.  Why he allows suffering, death of a child, etc.  But you gotta make it there first, you know?
      I do all I can to assure my acceptance, but you just never know.  :-\

    One question I will ask him when I get there is this....(Silly to some I suppose but important to me).
      "Why do our beloved pets only live a fraction of our lifetime?"  Perhaps the answer is so we will appreciate them even more while we have them.  wink

    how do you decide which people are going to suffer so much, and why?
  • I am a Christian, but a rather liberal one.  So I would ask a question about the WHY of human suffering.  The heaven/hell/devil stuff is not interesting to me.

  • I think the one question i would ask is......do we come back?

    Does that explain the suffering and pain in life.....is this an emotion we must experience? Is this the school life and until we get it right we return and return?

    Lips
  • so many...many question lips.  it really is difficult to come up with one.

    i used to love going up county..in the darkest, dark places, where there are absolutely no lights, and find a field out of the way, and lay there at night and ponder..

    the stars are in the ZILLIONS, from no lights around, and it really gets your mind going.

    you can see shooting stars allover...just looking up at the vast expanse of infinity...

    makes you feel very small in such a very large picture.  i have spent many nights racking my brains trying to figure it out.  and sometimes in my drug induced stupor, i thought it would be good to find out, maybe i could do it like the indians...but questions still and probably alway will remain till we die.  way too many to ask just one...

  • Nal,

    You have a way to bring me right there with you! That has to be my fav pastime....to look up at the nite sky in all its glory. How insignificant we seem in the vast scheme we truly are.

    I have always had a fascination with the sky and its stars and moon. Maybe that's why i have.......to know in my heart that this is something so much bigger than you and i.

    I believe without a doubt there is a higher power. How can there not be? The universe defies explanation. We find one answer that only leads to another question. It's miraculous to say the least.

    Because of it, how can one not believe in a something. For skeptics who don't believe in a higher power....if it seems impractical....not realistic.....look up.....think it about it......does that not seem impractical...unrealistic...but it exists.

    Great post Nal.....one of your best!

  • God, can you answer all that has been on my mind?

    I know You already know this question comes with two intentions 1) to know the answers but most importantly 2) spending the time with you listening to the answers....and You know there has been lots on my mind.

  • I would probably ask " What else can I do to help others and what more can I do to better serve you?"

  • I had dream..this time about this topic...

    in my dream i was sitting on the rocks at the edge of a lake....sitting there with God...

    I was told I had one question that I may ask you...and so I paused to think what to ask...and then I wondered why? what was the purpose behind his creations? why create life in the first place? and so with excitement and to perhaps get a grasp of what was the intention behind life from God's point of view....and so i asked Him why?

    and then the dream suddenly moved as if it were a video being fast forwarded....until it finally play was pressed and there i was walking away alone...disappointed and distraught...

    the only answer i got from Him was "Why not?"


    kicking the rocks that were in my path as I walked with my head down..it suddenly dawned on me...i understood...yes! that is why!...and so the dream ended as i woke up with a smile...

    unfortunately as with many of my dreams..what I wrote is all I could remember....and I can't remember what i understood....darn it!!

    any chance you might know? maybe joggle my memory???

  • Hi Soda,

    That was a deep dream there!!! Sounds like to me it has more of a message. The response of "why not" is the key.

    Maybe the dreams meaning shifted direction...not "why" God....but God asking you "why not" pertaining to your own life. Take up the challenge and let go of the restraints......restrictions and doubts you have placed on yourself.

    The higher power can be tricky...it may not answer what you want to hear...rather what you need to know.

    The higher power may be what lies inside you......

    Lips

  • If it could only be just 1 question then its a very simple one.

    Why am i here?

    Tony



    And i think the answer would be.........why not? The answer lies within. It's your world Tony.....you control the path of life you want to take. The world is your oyster......you just have to believe it.

    Lips
  • you know what Nal.....sometimes I think when we die, the jokes on us.....we die and thats IT!! no afterlife, no reincarnation, no ghost, no heaven or hell....nothing... if you really think about it does anyone think there's a little heaven for all the ants and roaches that we all kill the moment we even think about seeing one, if not than what makes our lives so much more significant than that of what we consider pest, and if there is a hell then i think we are all screwed, because we kill things all the time, whether it be  rodents, bugs, or hell even our dinner, and I hate to say it but a life is a life no matter how you look at it and I think we are all killers!

  • animals and bugs and rodents don't have a soul...

    they die...that's the end of it. 

    people have a soul, and maybe it doesn't go to "heaven or hell"... but i believe your soul never dies, but exists on another plane after you die


    bugs should be killed...bugs should be killed...if that makes me a killer, so be it  grin

  • maybe we are just the same to the body of the earth as a virus is to our body...without treatment...we spread throughout the body but do nothing to restore or help the earth gain health..instead we destroy, manipulate or change it's natural form....and as time passes....the earth's health worsens...sad....as much as we don't or won't think of ourselves as virus and try to make things better - we can't because we are.

  • You are absolutely right Soda, and sadly we are the biggest threat to the earth, just about every and anything we do destroys it....and Nal, who's to say that bugs and rodents don't have souls...people have them, for the most part we think all our pets have them....dogs, cats, even beloved little gerbils [not much different than a rat] so why not anything else???

  • i guess my religion, thats what i was brought up to believe..

    now, i have a whole new set of beliefs, so your right..who's to say..and who ever would think i would be speaking with satan?!  grin



  • bugs should be killed...bugs should be killed...if that makes me a killer, so be it  grin

    well...i hope someone comes soon with a magnifying glass and revive me...LOL

    i wonder if kids still do that? i remember i use to swat flies and as they lay there motionless i would take the magnifying glass...focusing the suns rays to small point right on the fly - and voila a miracle! before the suns rays can burn the fly...it begins to move..standing up on its tiny legs..the wings take form again..and begin to buzz....and away that little thing goes....until i swat it out of mid-air again.. poor thing.

  • WHAT!!! you can do that Soda...all this time i only thought you burnt them to a crisp..

  • Looks like maybe we have some peeps who are pondering the possibility of reincarnation............if ya had to come back what would you be?

    I would want to be my baby girl boxer Hazel.........she has got the life!!!!!

    soda...that is so funny!! i still have the same magnifying glass (little plastic)
    one that i had 40 years ago when i was 5-6 years old burning things with it, probably bugs!!!  no really i think leaves smiley  now i am still using it at work, makes me laugh...sometimes i think about those times burning stuff, and i can't believe i still have or use this thing after all these years smiley

    i didn't think Michael Vick would be allowed to own a dog anymore.

    And if I could come back...I would want to come back as the God of Gambling.

    WHAT!!! you can do that Soda...all this time i only thought you burnt them to a crisp..


    Bring flies back to life? Yes I can. But only if they haven't been completely flattened. I found that the ones you kill with a fly swatter get flattened but if you twist a towel and use it like a whip...and snap that fly out of the air...those ones are easily revived....making for a pretty fun game as a kid. not only was i able to give life back to flies....i got pretty damn good at snapping that towel with amazing accuracy. did u know u could get the loudest shreak when u land a perfect towel snap just between the bum cheek and the back thigh? - but never do it if the target is bare (wearing bikini, or underwear or nude) cuz i found out that a hard enough snap could tear away skin
  • Alright smarty pants Soda....ya'll know what I meant by that, to came back as your happy pet only to be owned by a cruel and abusive human....................at least that would be my luck lol.............


  • Alright smarty pants Soda....ya'll know what I meant by that, to came back as your happy pet only to be owned by a cruel and abusive human....................at least that would be my luck lol.............
    but i was serious...i didn't think he would be allowed to own dog or any pet anymore...


    lol...why would you insult your luck like that? hasn't it always brought you good tidings? the bad stuff comes when your luck isn't there....and the more you insult or blame your luck...the more it's not gonna be there...if you were in your lucks position, would you stick around?



  • Well Soda, I've never asked for luck good or bad, but that's just how things go in my life.....one thing after another  :'(    I still believe that some people are just born lucky/unlucky as if it were written in the stars!! I'm sure there at least one person you know who's life is always wonderful and good things ALWAYS happen to them, and then there's someone  you might know who can NEVER catch a break.....Thoses are the one's I feel are just born like that, and it only happens to just a handful of people, but for the majority of people, I think it's balanced....good and bad.......but that's just my outlook on the whole luck thing..............

  • Satan,

    When it comes to good luck and back luck in life i have often wondered....is it predestined or do we create our own destiny?

    Is there a map outlining exactly what it is each of us need to experience....the people that come into our lives....the joy and sorrow we experience.

    Or are we handed two paths.......an arrow goes one way.....another in the opposite direction. Do we instinctively know what is the right way to go...or so curious we go in the opposite direction?

    Or do our lives have no direction.........just free spirits letting life take us for a ride?

    Lips
  • You know Lips.....I think that it's pedestined, I don't think any of us really have a choice and that path has been laid out from the start, maybe it's just me, but has anyone else ever noticed that a whole chain of events led you to where you are right this minute??? I know in my case it has, staring as far back as I can remember, To try and make it short I'll just summorize the big topics. My parents get divorced..which led me to Va., I left my father's daughter for another man....who I met through him, it was a brief fling but I ended up with his best friend....one of the great loves of my life.....broke up, learned some lessons and moved on...which led me in a whole other direction.....blah, blah, blah and so forth and here I am now  in THE BEST relationship of my life, but every single one of these events and many others that I did not mention led me to him...........Anyone ever hear that song by Rascal Flatts "Bless the Broken Road"....that's kinda how I feel on life

  • Another way you can look at life is not so much as predestined except for the ending...not just one ending...perhaps there are several scenarios...and which scenario we finally succumb to is based on the path that we choose whether it be intentionally or not intentionally. The best way i can illustrate it is like this.....there are books out there that after every chapter you would have to do something to determine which page in the book you would turn to for your next chapter...for instance at the end of a chapter would have you roll the dice, other chapters you would have to make a choice or answer a question or riddle. Depending on the result determines which page to turn to next...and so on...until finally you come to the end of the book...the final chapters....and here are the various endings...set yourself on the right path, with right not meaning righteous but simply the path that ends up with the best ending - this would be the goal. Now just like a new book that you have never read...you wouldn't know what's gonna happen on the next page or chapter so never despair cuz it may just as well be written that you are to face all the crap at this point in life...but when you come to turn to the next chapter...hey...you might find out you are actually a princess, descendant of those who came to earth along time ago that brought the first generation of your family here to protect them...but now from another galaxy...they have come for you....so that you may return and reign as your kingdom is once again safe...awaiting for it's princess to return home...

    u like???

  • Soda,

    I have to agree with you. Depending on what path we take....the ending will have a completely different outcome. That is obvious...what choices we make throughout our time here on the earth plane, will play out what the ending is.

    So that still leaves the question unanswered Soda.....life plays out our ending.....is that predestined?

    Lips
  • Satan,

    I have to agree with you all the way....i think it is predestined. I don't think its chance who comes along in our lives. There is a reason and a purpose for each and everyone that comes our way.

    Even those that we think has a negative impact on us.....has purpose. It makes us learn and grow in life's lessons.

    I do believe we have free will to choose what direction we take. We are handed a blue print...how we use that blue print and our interpretation it is our free will.

    Lips
  • Soda, I do like your story, but I'm afraid nothingfs gonna change my outlook, wayyy to many things in my life happened to be due to a huge chain reaction....also I gotta ask, you know how when someone who is young and healthy [child, spouse, friend] dies for no good reason, way before their time shoulda been up?? What's the first thing people tell the person who is dealing with the loss..."everything happens for a reason" or "GOD has a plan"...................so is that complete bullshit people say in an attempt to make someone else feel better, or do they really believe what they are saying??......and to say either of those things would basically imply that we really have no choice and it is in fact  "GOD"  how is pulling all the strings..........

  • Lol, I used to be afraid of flying....still am kinda, and my mother would sit there and tell me, "Don't miss out on vacations and travel because your afraid the plane might crash, If you were meant to die on that plane and you don't get on, then that plane will crash on your head!!!  I always thought that was sooo funny, but now I think she just may be right, Once again I think the joke is on us, it may appear that we have a choice, but no matter which way you turn the outcome will be the same, you can't escape destiny.  Anyone ever been in a situation where you had to choose between 2 people and later down the road get burned and think....I shoulda picked the other one, well maybe if you picked the other one your woulda got burned just the same, or ever been in an accident and thought to yourself later...I should have just stayed home that day, well maybe if you stayed home you would have tripped and fell and you'd still be sitting in the hospital.......i think you guys can get where i'm going with this  grin

    Satan,

    I never could understand the reason why a child would be taken away at such a young age. Or why people are born with such disabling handicaps. Or being maimed, raped or slaughtered at the hands of evilness.

    It use to haunt me...how can there POSSIBLY be a "God"???? Then i found an answer that just "felt right" for all the madness.

    The reason for that is Karma....and the only way to pay our debts is through re-incarnation. For example if in a past life i abused a child and that child died at my hands.......i have to feel the pain of that loss in this life.

    If i had no compassion for someone who was disabled in a previous life.....i have to be disabled in this one to feel what it is like.

    Maybe the hardest challenge and the deepest lesson to learn is be born as a serial killer. To take the painful challenge to teach people what suffering is.

    Its the only reasoning i can understand........if there is indeed this "higher power". Otherwise it just doesn't make sense to me.

    Of course we will never know....at least not on this plane.......

    Lips
  • Lips.....i've pondered that same exact thing!! What comes aroung goe's around right.......only problem with that is that we are born without the knoweledge that this is our punishment, and once again that would make our so called "god" just cruel and uncaring, and what about all the loved ones who have to suffer from the loss or stress of what happened, what did they do to deserve the suffering they have to endure for the past mistakes of their loved one??

    I do have a solution for that question that i think makes sense....but i'm off for b'fast....and will reply when i return!!!!
  • Satan,

    There is a reason we keep coming back and returning. This is a school......a school of learning to evolve more spiritually. For most of us we return many many times til we have evolved enough to not come back.

    As far as the rest of "family" suffering.......that is part of the predestined blue print. We decide who we want in our family. The people we choose are for a reason...they have similar karma dues to pay.

    Example: I am married...my spouse cheats on me...i suffer the betrayal, that's my karma. He is in this life a "teacher" so to speak to teach me what it feels like to be betrayed.

    Karma is paying dues as well as being the person that teaches.

    I read an interesting story of karma......a man sat a corner in the middle of down town on a crowded street. He sat homeless with both legs mangled from birth. His hat in his hand. Every morning a "well to do" lawyer past him. The homeless man held his hat out every morning as he past him by.

    The lawyer never even glanced down at the man. He had no mercy or compassion for him. He became agitated having to see him on the corner of the building where he worked. He wondered why he was not asked to leave that corner by the local authority. He cluttered the street and was an eye sore as far as he was concerned.

    The purpose? The homeless man was here to teach him compassion...it was what he was sent to do. This was his mission and his calling. The "well to do"  lawyer had a test of life to pass....and he will keep getting that test over and over til he gets it right.

    I'm not a major advocate in reincarnation. All i know is it makes me think. I'm not saying this is how it is.....but I'm open to that possibility.

    Lips
  • I'm open to all possiblities although with karma I believe it's something you endure within your lifetime......and I still think that everything is designed for us, but as to what happens when we pass....that's where I'm wide open......there could be a heaven or hell, or maybe reincarnation, or maybe nothing at all., or maybe we become ghost...i've even wondered sometimes how the galaxy is so vast and never ending that we can't even being to see it with all of our technogly that just maybe our passing is like a portal to another universe!! lol, or maybe something so incredible and unique that no one has even though of......who really knows....except for the people who are not around to share it............................lol, these are one of those never ending conversations where the possibilites are endless and everyone has thier own views and thoughts , but it's really cool to hear what other's believe in.......!

  • The possibilities are endless aren't they......love to hear all the interesting theories.

    Lips
