Thoughts On God Andrea Landry

I read the Bible as an intellectual exercise as well as a spiritual one. I wanted to read about those who walked and talked with God. I wanted to learn about the prophets and writers of accepted sacred scripture. There are many quotes taken from the Bible, and many quotes on the Bible. People are always commenting on God. Atheists are obsessed with God or the lack thereof. There are a lot of thoughts on God out there. Some are captured within this book and their purpose is to raise spiritual awareness in all of us.

I was looking to feel the love from God for mankind right from the start when God created man, and man immediately started recreating God. God created us in his image, and we started recreating God through anthropomorphism, or attempting to change his divinity into humanity so we could better understand him.

Reading through the New Testament, I found that the number three has divine significance which figured largely in many events in Jesus' life. I devoted a whole chapter to this mystery, and I am still investigating these occurrences of three throughout the Bible. Is this a peek into the divine consciousness?

I believe, like a lot of people, that life is a journey. Some believe the end of the journey is death or final peace from the chaos and messes of life no consciousness. For them, there is no God. Others believe the end of the journey is the transition into our final form as spiritual beings when the soul goes over to the afterlife. I believe we all have a purpose and our personal relationship with God throughout our lives reveals it.
