God
is the most misunderstood entity in the world. That’s why Neale
Donald Walsch’s God’s Message to the World comes with a tag line
you’ve got me all wrong.
This
rebellious book explodes all the myths associated with God. It dares
to question all the dogmas associated with religion, mostly those
associated with Christianity and Islam. This powerful book explores
the following seventeen statements about God. God is to be feared.
God may not even exist. God exists and is a superhuman male being.
God demands obedience. God sees us as imperfect, and we may not
return to God in an imperfect state. God requires us to believe in
God, and to worship God in a specific way. God is vengeful and God’s
love can turn to wrath. God was at war with the Devil, and that’s
how this all began. God determines what is right and wrong. God’s
forgiveness is required for us to get into heaven. God has a plan for
us. God is on our side. God honours self-sacrifice, long suffering
(preferably in silence), and martyrdom. God sometimes answers our
prayers and sometimes does not. God will reward us or punish us on
judgment day. God wants us to return to heaven. God is different from
us.
Each
of us has held at least one of the aforesaid beliefs about God. Hence
it is easy to relate to this book. This explosive book says that all
the aforesaid beliefs about God are not true. The book claims to
convey the original message of God. Indeed religion, especially the
religious leaders cling to their own interpretations of the sacred
texts. They are unwilling to change their opinions of about the God.
But this book tries to reveal the true nature of God. You will not
regret this meeting with God for sure.
