I am In trading there are many paths which lead to many outcomes. There is no âoneâ path to trading, what works for one may not work for another. In life, is there just one truth ? Assuming that you say yes, are there people on this earth who know the truth ? If so, who are they, where are they ? If not, then what hope has any of us of knowing the truth ? If in all the religions who dedicate so much energy in seeking the truth and have gone astray, where does that lead us to ? It takes years to click onto trading, before it sinks in, is this the same for truth ? I am, what reason are we on this earth for ?
If it's God's will for a Christian to pray, for God to have mercy on someone else, that is God's will. There are many examples in the Bible of course. To put it another way, if asking for help from God is God's will, then that is God's will. -Stephen

I am, what reason are we on this earth for ? ---------------------- Imo, each individual has to come to terms with this on their own. Perhaps to become aware of their own talents and develope them.
If everything that occurs is "God's will" then there really isn't much point for us to be here. Examples from the Bible are pointless because the writers have the same wants, needs, and delusions as we do today. I will also point out that, if there were a heaven or life after death, then it is NOT mercy to heal a sick & dying person. Why would you want to prolong a "miserable" life on earth, as a mortal, when you could be in glorious heaven. The answer to this is simple, deep in their hearts, even in their closets of prayer, all believers of ALL religions KNOW that ther house of belief is built on sand. They do not recall any existence before this life and they KNOW any belief of an existence after this life is pure speculation.
Faith is believing in something you know ain't true Mark Twain Even were humans immortal, there would still be the same question whether or not life had meaning , or what it was all for.
what reason are we on this earth for ? ----------------- Page views on joke forum. Tune in next week while I take over a support group for the temporaryily insane.
There is a very simple reason why we are here: to reproduce. If evolution had not hard-wired that drive into our body we would be extinct. Be happy that you got this brief flash of existence and don't worry about the day you no longer exist: you won't even know that you're not.
There is definitely a parable to trading. It may take years to "get it". Religion, as I see it, is the cultivation of the ability to tell the difference between sheep and goats, or in modern terms, between a bull market and a bear market...so-to-speak. The choice is between time and eternity; themes antithetical to each other. Time will pass away, while eternity "was, is, and ever shall be" so-to-speak. Time seems to exist while it is pumped up with faith, [think: money-of-gods]. Based on the authority invested in me [think: Divine Series 7 ], I recommend dumping time and going long Eternity [think: Christ-time, or, Christmas]. Buy...and hold. You do this by incrementally withdrawing faith in time, and investing it rather in what is eternal. This leads up to the ultimate trade: nothing for Everything. So: Scale out, and scale in. This is a no-sacrifice strategy in which the gradual withdrawl of faith in the world reveals that it is actually nothing...like an emperor with no clothes. Once you "get" how meaningless it is, it's easy to trade it for the totality of Everything, where all meaning abides. Salvation offers you literally Everything. Rather, it restores to your memory the remembrance of what you threw away to go after the little trinkets offered by faith in fantasy. You *bought* into some boiler-room sales-pitch to load up on bad stock. That is why you are "here" in "this world". Now that you know, you are only here to cut your losses and *exodus* a 'bad trade', so-to-speak. You will find that you never really lost anything that *our Father* gave you...never really could, except in dreams. In his nightmares, the Son of God thought he blew his account. By a miracle, the account is still intact, every last penny of power. You are that One. Jesus
Yes, there is just one truth. The world is the expression of many truths, each to his own. So it is really a fantasy world, in which each sees what he believes, and believes it because he wants it. Such a world has no regard for truth, mocks the truth, and mangles it beyond recognition. Each to his own truth is the first law of chaos, as each pseudo-stolen aspect of mind-share walks his own way away from reality. Any yet, there is no power opposed to truth. So opposition to truth must come from itself, as if a house could be divided against itself. This kind of mental conflict makes for a kind of war, truth being the first casualty. This war seems to establish an alternative reality to the one truth, breaking the one into the "many". The world, therefore, is the insane battleground for a schizophrenia-like mental conflict between Christ [Self], and anti-christ [self-concepts]. It is one mind attempting to hold opposing realities, as if it could serve two masters who's thought systems are each insane to the other. The attempt to hold heaven and hell in the same mind collapses [think:destroys] the mind, yielding the experience of hell. Ultimately, we are talking about an impossibility! Therefore, the world is the false parading of one truth, led to slaughter, masked and masquerading as many truths. Truth does not oppose its mocking and mangling. It does not return attack or insult for insult. As lies multiply, the one truth is transfigured into a bloody mess, that the sacrifice of truth may permit lies to "live". And this leads to pain and suffering. Paths away from the truth have left each an every *private* bit of mind-share "lost", each located in some confusing corner of a vast, dark labyrinth. Only in this sense are the *paths* back different...tailored to each one's need to deal with an accumulation of distorted belief systems. But the means are the same, as well as the end: One Truth.
