Or does your lifestyle contradict the words you write and the songs you sing?

I am a Muslim and the purpose of my existence is to serve God, the most gracious and most merciful. As a human being which is not perfect, I my lifestyles sometimes is contradict to my belief. Overall, I am still on the right track and hope for His forgiveness.

God. I believe that he's the reason for my existence and well-being.
I try to live to his standards with his grace. Sometimes I fail, but thing is, I know there's nothing he loves more than when I pick myself up and try again, focussing on fighting the good fight and finishing the race.

In the end, you are what you believe. In our hearts of hearts, we know that this is true.
Jesus made it very clear that the best way to get into heaven is to remain 'completely still'...sound like meditation anyone?
Another part of the bible says there would come a time when the holy spirit would return and teach everyone about GOD's final plan. And NO, this is not to be confused end of the world prophecies. Although asking for His help is irrelevant, as the holy spirit is his only symbol to speak for Him. By invoking the holy spirit in your prayers, the world then becomes a teaching tool to bring you back home. He will protect and guide you by your use of His flame.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." - John 14:26
The reality is you must give up your dependence on food, alcohol, sex, pornography, violent media, etc. Basically, anything that can cause you to have an addiction to the illusion of this world. All of these things are a form of self-indulgence which is a subtle form of idolatory. Mother Teresa has been documented as going for months without food. Not to say that all forms of pleasure are demonic - It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Jesus drank alcohol, but only because he choose to view it as means to celebrate god instead of his own personal pleasure. Many eastern gurus have consumed toxic poison only to keep on walking because they understood this principle.
By changing your focus, you allow bigger and better things to show up in your life. People think that taking a vow of silence it means some fanatic hides away in a cave somewhere, when in reality it is just a metaphor. I understand that it may be very difficult for people to give up sex, but by the time you are well on your way, you will so RIDICULOUSLY happy, the thought won't even cross your mind anymore. As Jesus said " Be in the world, not of the world." You never lose by giving yourself away, you only gain.
It takes many lifetmes to perfect this process. One must:
- Meditate, Meditate, Meditate!!
- Forgive Unconditionally
- Erase the idea that you are somehow less than perfect.
- Never again acknowledge the concept of death.
- Master all physical laws.
- Travel in our sister astral body.
- Achieve Enlightenment.
- Heal past-wounds.
- Develop psychic-skills
- Become an apprentice to a current master.
- Display your personal Spiritual Gift
- Lead others to GOD.

The only reason for our existence is to understand and appreciate the universe that God has created for us.

yes I believe in the lord God almighty !!! and this is why supposed "atheists" are here....I used to be an atheist before but thankfully not now, 100 % believer now and the atheists here that have not converted yet are only here for one reason, to learn more about God because they are fence sitters still not sure if they want to jump in. REAL atheists like I used to be would never hang out in a place such as this that is full of religion. in their questions and answers they will deny it but that is only so their friends that see their questions an answers will not make fun of them.they will put up a very strong anti-God front but a front is all it really is.....100 % here are secretly fence sitters..no true atheists here......
