I have a question for those who believe in god in any way, shape, or form. Have you ever done this?

Question

Have you ever been in a situation... where you had to make a decision and take action... and instead of asking yourself "What would Jesus do?"... you asked yourself "What would god do?"...and you did that instead? What happened?

writer's block: no, please share.

Did you remember to remember your divinity?
What would god do?

Answer 1

Ah, Sunman, you FORCE me to face my self-absorbed nature, wherein I believe I am a piece of Source until the time comes that I must face a challenge I perceive to be greater than my capabilities. And in those instances, instead of living my truth, I turn to Source and say something like, "Please Help Me. What do I need to do to make things right? Please bless me with your favor. Tell me what I need to do!"

Selfish. Self-absorbed. An infant, a child needing a parent's guidance, when by this point I should BE the parent. I remain unaware of my own power at the times when I need to exercise it the MOST.

And seeing this about myself, I ask, What would Source do? And I answer myself, Source would forgive me.

Thank you, Sunman. You never fail me . . . and you always show me YOUR divinity.

And how divine you truly are . . .

Answer 2

So this is an open question for Christians, then. Not everyone's beliefs involve Jesus Christ.

[Edit] *Frown of consideration* Okay, then... I'm an Atheist, but I was raised under Christian views. So there were times in my past when I found myself asking what God would have wanted me to do in a given situation. I never really approached it from the JC angle, since JC was my pathway to God--the means that justified the ends. Jesus, to me, seemed more of an assistant manager than he did a CEO, if you follow. So I really never did find myself asking what Jesus expected, or what He would consider as the right or wrong thing to do. To have pleased Him would have been great... but I was aiming higher.

Answer 3

Within the path I have chosen, I have developed a personal relationship with God....fairly a~typical for a Buddhist, but there you have it.
In that relationship, we speak and connect and I am as much 'myself' as I can allow, my goal being to eventually stand in the clear light and be fully present as 'myself', judgment of self released.

I have a model then, a sense of how I want to live myself here. And so yes, I do consider what this God self would do.....and I always wind up within my heart. When I am open hearted and in touch with a truer, finer sense of myself, I can move effortlessly and without question from this place.

This shift then creates that there is no question existent anymore, and I am moving from a state of grace, seeing all as it stands in the now, and allowing what is to be as it is. Each to their level.....

This shifting is an action, a choice of perception. I can't always engage there as fully as at other times, but that is okay too....I am happily a work in progress, until the day when BAM! I truly am the All at all times.....lol.....

I have found that when I am coming from this pure place of allowance, responce is inevitable (rather than reaction). I can and have said some pretty direct things to people. But in this energy of compassion there is a higher truth being cognized by both parties, and my thoughts and my words are then usually received with little or no conflict ~ it is the most absurdly amazing thing, and it reminds me every time ~ as I am being reminded Right Now, to slow down and enfold myself into this energy.....'magic' happens......and I do so love magic... : )

Answer 4

I've been in situations where I stop and think, would God approve of what I am about to do? I heard a question before that asked, "What would Jesus think if he walked into this room right now?" I try to do things in a way that I think God would approve of or at least understand. I try hard........That's the best that I can do.........

Answer 5

I avoid wondering what Jesus would do in my situation because he either works a miracle which is not something I'm very good at or he subjects himself to Crucifixion which doesn't appeal very much.

As for God - never met the bloke so I don't know him well enough.

Answer 6

Another great Sun Man Question ! :-)))

I haven't had time to read the other answers so far, so if I 'resonate' with any others it is true resonation, not plain old plagiarism.

I have been trying for years to train myself, when in doubt, or if faced with a difficult decision, to ask myself what 'Love' would do.

As that concept which most people know as 'God' is us, and we are made of pure Love made manifest, then, in a round-about way I guess that I am doing as you suggest.

It's just in the semantics, I try to avoid the use of the word 'God' because of all the awful distortions to which that word has been put over the recent millennia.

I have never asked myself what Yashua would do, because he would never have asked such a thing of anyone, in my opinion. If this man was who I think he was, he was trying to give people their 'power' back, not take it away from them again !

PS You never had to come looking for me, my brother, I am always with you, all ways ! ;-)

Answer 7

When I took notice of myself wanting to do things for my benefit only, I realized that a better question to be asking myself was...

"What should and can I do that will benefit more than just me?"

I don't know the end from the beginning (nor visa versa), so I don't know how everything is going to unfold. Thus, all I can do is be a part of that unfolding. And, I figure, while I do that, I might as well take actions in the benefit of the whole; rather than just the benefit of myself.

Answer 8

Ive never been in a situation whereby I was so confused about what God wanted that I had to ask myself, what would god do?

Why?

Because my knowledge of religion tells me two things:

1. follow a naturalistic and common sense approach to things,

2. the best approach is the one that has the least damage on yourself, your environment and the people around.

Answer 9

To ask " what would god do" is not correct, as He would never find himself in your situation, as He is God, not a mortal. Jesus was a human, mortal like we are, he was tempted, like we can be, so only he might make a decision of a human worth of God.

Answer 10

be back! :-)))))

Oh, just one peep.

Heart based choices, seen through clear eyes always tend to break down the barriers of a minimal existance into more freedom.

What happened is the realization that their is simply more to access. All that interior world brought forth, is not about an external being, but the example set. What did Yeshua or god do? I'll answer, that it was heart. And that is all inside of each of us. Simple as it is, for as long as it's been tooted in songs, and poetry and words of beauty.



So, it is up to US now. What would Sunman do?

((((((((((((((LOVE))))))))))))))))))))

All the answers are here, like tools just waiting to be picked up. All the Cosmos has their 'eye' on us now...What are we going to do?

Is the Omniverse really inside of you, and the human expression not so limited by physicality but by perception?
