The Word of God?

I put forth to Humankind in this blog a simple Question:
"What is the Word of God?"

Is the "Word of God" in what is said by the members of this, the Human Species?

Is it in the Deeds of Humankind?

Is it in the Dreams of Humankind?

     I ask, because I am aware of how many times humanity uses terminology such as; "God said this" and "God said that." The truth is God speaks to the hearts of the faithful through his messengers; fore the Word of God is the "Light of Wisdom." Too few among humanity's members have such wisdom or enlightenment to understand such words as would be directly from God, that only his messengers are capable of comprehension.

     While there are numerous writings and stories and other forms of text issued the "Word of God." there are fewer still who have heard the Voice utter such words as God would utter. The Commandments all, ye have broken. The Seven Deadly Sins are the way and direction of humanity's lifestyles of excess; utilised. The Golden Rule is completely ignored. So, where then and how then does anyone claim to have heard such words? When they have always refused to act on those  words that had been passed down from generation to generation from the beginning of recorded Time.

     Having heard such words as would have been spoken to one such as I; I believe for faith's sake; I seek no further proof. While Mankind seeks the excesses of Life, they are not mine to seek; while Mankind ignores God words; they are not words I ignore. How then can Mankind believe such words as Mankind would claim are from God; when the human messenger of such words lives not by the very words the claim are from God?

     In human conflict; both opponents pray to God for aid in vanquishing their enemies; when God has commanded, saying; "Thou shalt not kill." Religious leaders the world over spew forth words of religious interpretation; all supposedly issued by God, but none of these leaders are prepared to live by those very words. How then can Mankind live by them? As Mankind ventures into their places of worship; I propose a test; close your eyes; kneel down in pray and silently say these words:

     "Heavenly Father, I come before you in Jesus' name. Guide me from this path Mankind has set before me; that I may know thy Wisdom."

Then listen to the drum beat of your heart for the words that his messengers will inscribe there for you and you alone.

     No one, no other can tell any other what God wishes of each member of the Human Race; fore each member walks a path that no other can tread. While the guidelines are simple, it is in the following that Mankind has failed. All Mankind is guilty of being human and in being human, Mankind errs, when they contrive and conspire to inform others of their interpretation of what is the "Word of God."

I wrote this Blog upon this day for all to come and read; fore here within the text inscribed, no word from Him concede. So, all may come, observe as I; how Mankind has changed the "Word;" fore the altered meaning gives the false Shepherds control upon their flocks.

"Men of the Cloth", and "Men of the Church", are not necessarily "Men of God." "Men of God" do not necessarily reside in the "House of God."

Yet, "God" is always spoken of and found in places of confinement such as Jails; is not a Jail, a "House of God?"

I believe the ideal "House of God" is made up of three parts.

The "Holy Trinity."

The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit or The Mind, The Heart, and The Soul.

It is here you will find your "House of God;" within each of us!"
