When I was little my dad use to always tell me the same thing to explain God to me, “Behold, I make all things new. I am alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.” (My dad isn’t Catholic, he doesn’t believe in anything but my mom is a strong believer.) The idea that God is the alpha and the omega means so much if you think about it. There is no beginning; we will never know the beginning, because God is the beginning. And there is no end, the end is with God and he is the end. I always wonder then: Who made God? I was always told that God made God.
Once again, back to the same idea of enlightenment being within, “The spirit you have received from him remains in you, and you don’t need to have any man teach you; but that spirit teaches you all things, and is the truth.” When I read that I think about truth as the knowledge about God. I’m not sure what they mean exactly by “truth.” So then why don’t they believe in clearing the mind and letting the knowledge just come to you from within? Why is it absolutely necessary that you must to go to church once a week to learn about God and his teachings about what’s right and wrong? Some religions are so similar, yet so different.
