God’s Testing

Here, I say one additional major point. If anybody says, “God tests human beings”, then, those people should erase those parts of their religion, where they said “God hears prayers of His devotees and blesses them!!” If you argue both are possible, then that will be a big blasphemy!! Let us see how it becomes such a contradiction and blasphemy. When God determines to give some kinds of suffering to test one of His devotees, then if the devotee prays and weeps to save him from that suffering, then, the devotee directly forces God to stop His testing!! This really becomes an anti-God approach!! On the other hand, if God hears devotee’s prayer and saves him, then, it is clear that God is not testing anybody at all, and this compels to withdraw the idea “God’s testing” from the religion. Now, between these two options of religions, I like the latter one, the idea, ‘God hears the prayers of the human beings.’ I sincerely avoid “God’s testing” idea, but you all are still sticking to ‘God’s testing’ idea as well as “God’s grace” idea together, which destroys both ideas all together!! In fact, this type of baseless teachings, which have been taught since the beginning of religions, is really shocking!!

Just for saving the omnipotent creator God against the question, “Why did not God save such a great devotee?” religions gave a very easy solution that it is the God’s testing!! There is no other way than to explain this idea otherwise, all their explanations of omnipotent God go baseless. Unfortunately, they couldn’t see a grave sin behind this explanation! If you follow this idea, then, all worships or prayers for ‘God’s grace’ ends there, and also this ‘God’s testing’ idea becomes almost equal to equating God with heartless devil!! If we read, then and there the education starts, but mere possessing many books can do nothing. In the same way, whatever may be the religion, the religion starts only when one implements the great ideals in one’s life. Every religion spoke about the universal Truth, Love, and Morality, so, hold on to the God’s those great words, and this alone is enough for achieving a great religion. The confusing mythical contradicting stories and their beliefs create only confusions and conflicts. So, worship your Gods or creator God based on the ‘quality of God concept’ than mere stories of contradicting mythology. Try to give more importance to the essence of the religions, and less to the stories and rituals in the religions, then, we can maintain even all religions’ separate individualities, besides, we can see those practical religions blossom with the fragrance of that great WORLD PEACE.

Idea Behind the God’s Testing

Let us see the idea behind the phrase ‘God’s testing.’ This is not the class-test at the school, but here they mean the life torture such as born handicap, premature death, diseases, etc. They say that these are the testing standards of God to take him to heaven after his death!! If this is the situation, how can one expect grace from such a God in one’s lifetime? When every problem is called ‘God-given’, then God will never give a grace even if the devotee prays whole his lifetime! Then, the title, which was given to him, ‘all-loving’ becomes baseless. Here, we have another point. For example, if people conduct one competition, then, in that competition they have some tough rules to be followed, these hurdles are equal to all the competitors. If a favour is given to anybody, then, everybody will stand against that injustice. Here, in the God sponsored life-competition, we see some are given terrible hurdles, and some others are given plain hurdles! We know that everybody is equal in the eyes of God, then, how this injustice occurs? This clearly shows the fact, if anybody favours the belief ‘God’s testing,’ then he really makes the God not a hero, but a villain!
