"if a house be divided against itself" - Men and Women of True Religion

Men and Women of True Religion


There are two types of people: those who love existence of God and those who don't.

Each group can be further divided, but let's focus on the first group.

Those who love existence of God can be divided into two groups: those who feel that they are always monitored by God and those who don't feel so.

If you love existence of God and you feel that you are always watched by God, you cannot neglect God and you cannot harm others who are also creatures of God.

The point at issue is that we can find such persons among Judaists, Christians, Muslims, and followers of other religions.  In this context, they should be regarded not as belonging to different religions but as belonging to an identical meta-religion.

To be a member of a religion is a means to have access to God.  And if you come closer to God, you must feel that He is watching you.  Conversely, even if you claim that you are a member of any religion, you cannot be trusted unless you sense that you are being monitored by God always, since it is the most critical condition in judging your religiousness.

But how can we prove that we are always being watched by God?
New International Version (NIV)
Matthew 6 
 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Christ Jesus always suggested that God knows everything about any man, on various occasions.  If you think that Christ Jesus is not a man who would tell a lie or just speak a fantasy but a holy one who always speaks truth, you must admit that God is always observing you.

And those who love existence of God and also feel that they are being watched by God always must be similar to one another no matter what religions they belong to.

But how many Judaiats, Christians, and Muslims can assert that they really love existence of God, for any reasons, and feel that they are being watched by God at any moment, for any reasons?
.
Nonetheless, if you do, I will admit that you are a man of true religion.
