idquest Posted 9 hours ago As a rule, when we ask for something, there is a price to pay. For example, asking for something from a devil usually involves a some kind of spiritual payment, like selling one's soul, as saints and christian scholars teach us (I could be wrong here, please correct me then). But is not the same transactional rule apply when followers ask for something from their deities, such as Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc.? Do people accrue a 'spiritual credit card' liability when asking for things from their deities? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lairg Posted 8 hours ago (edited) A woman was very pleased with a text from her ex. She showed me and said: He has moved past transactional relationship Perhaps the gods of humanity are less evolved than that man. I would look for entities that are not transactional. 46 minutes ago, idquest said: like selling one's soul In the ancient Egyptian and Kabbalistic systems the human format has 5 souls. The middle soul corresponds with the Christian soul. But the soul intelligence that approaches suitable humans has a temporary relationship with them - while the human establishes the stages of enlightenment. The solar angel (holy guardian angel) comes from the solar system to help. It is too profound to partake in transactional relationships.

Sanity Check Posted 5 hours ago If the question is how God does things. Then it might be answered... How does the being who caused the Big Bang to occur in order for the universe to be created answer prayers. Entities of partial value and capacity use transactional methods due to their limited volume and energy. God's energy and volume would be infinite transcending mere physical limits. Like a nurturing parent, God would want people to pray to develop a relationship and ask for help when needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you are wrong ... and so where the 'saints and Christian scholars' ( if that indeed is what they taught us ? ) . 3 hours ago, idquest said: But is not the same transactional rule apply when followers ask for something from their deities, such as Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc.? In some religions magic is permissible as long as it is attributed to its deity or clergy . For other to get involved in magic it is considered evil and attributed to evil forces . Figure that one out ! 3 hours ago, idquest said: Do people accrue a 'spiritual credit card' liability when asking for things from their deities? No . Did you ever have to pay your Mother back ? ( I mean, for all the stuff you where given and asked for as a child . ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
