It can happen that your children will choose a different religion that yours. Often, this is more of a search for meaning and truth than a rebellion. The truth should be able to withstand the closest scrutiny, so it is a good thing to search and seek. However, divorce is not encouraged in Christianity, synonymous to Protestantism, in which annulment can only end marriage. Protestantism In Protestant views, the purpose of marriage is to glorify God by demonstrating his love to the world. Other purposes of marriage include intimate companionship, rearing children and mutual support for both husband and wife to fulfill their life callings. Our subconscious mind is filled with thoughts, beliefs and ways of viewing the world that have been fed into it throughout our entire life. It is the thoughts and beliefs in our subconscious mind that reach out and create our external reality.
No Magna Charta here, nothing to appeal to which says that even kings and governments are still under God and answerable to His Laws. The restorative power of a living religion to reduce emotional and physical stress is amazing. Reading, praying, and meditating all can greatly help reduce stress in your family. One of the greatest healing powers of religion lies in thankfulness. This is because the Spaniards noticed that the Bantu were always gathering Sticks and Barks for their purposes. For the Bantu god is called Nsambi and to the Yoruba/Lucumi people god is called Olodumare. The difference is that Afro Cuban religions believe in the forces of nature and that the deities control nature as well as peoples lives. We have the creative power of God, because we were created in the image and likeness of God.
We will create situations that will put our faith to the test, that will take us to that pressure point, where we have to make a decision. We have to decide whether we will get caught up in our minds and try to figure out a way to make the situation better, or stay calm and peaceful and have absolute faith that the all loving God will take care of us and everything will work out for our highest good. For us to break the chains of lack and mediocrity, we must have absolute faith in our God given right to prosperity, abundance and greatness. Sometimes, due to our subconscious programming throughout our entire life, we are unable to just all of a sudden have absolute faith in something over night. We need to practice meditation and other techniques to help us get closer to the creative source within us to strengthen our conscious connection to God.
I believe the way you look at the answer to this commonly asked question, really depends on your views of what or who God is. Many people believe that God is a powerful white bearded man that lives up in the sky sitting on a throne in the sky. In this belief system, God watches over every person’s life and rewards the people who are ‘good’ and punishes the people that are ‘bad’. Teachers such as Swami Vivekananda, who brought Hinduism to the west, held beliefs like those found in Smartism, although he usually referred to his religion as Vedanta. Other denominations of Hinduism do not strictly hold this belief. A Smartist would have no problem worshiping Shiva or Vishnu together as he views the different aspects of God as leading to the same One God.
The Mormon religion has been around for a while, and many people have been drawn to the religion and to the book of Mormon to learn more about the basics of the religion. This web site has a lot of great information about what the Mormon religion is all about and the Church of Jesus Christ and the followers who practice the religion. The followers of the Mormon religion practice their prayers and dedication to the religion in a temple and they rely on the Book of Mormon to provide with the guidance that they need. To truly strengthen our conscious connection to God, we must practice quieting our minds, slowing down in our lives and taking time to know the God within us and within every space and particle of the infinite Universe.
