The Needing Conditioning

This was sent to me this morning. Every Sunday morning, I have friends and family members sending me things as this when they know that I do not subscribe anymore to religious doctrine. But, since you all fail to respect my moral position let us go into this and I want any of you to come and correct me if I am convinced of being wrong. If you can convince me that I am in error, then I will convert to Christianity before the entire world. This is your Sunday so go for it. Seduce me with your words of persuasion and propaganda. Save this so-called devil that I am supposed to be.

If God knows what we need before we ask according to the words of Jesus, then why do we even know what a "need" is? If God "knows" what we “need” before we ask, then we would never come to need anything because we would already be made resolved with what we are supposed to have. "I know what you need, but I'm not going to give it to you, until you ask me." A god that withholds what its child needs until he or she asks, but contains what they need before they ask?

Within the holy prayer it says, “give us this day our daily bread.” We have to “ask God” to “give us” something that is supposed to be supplied upon a daily basis so that we may never “need anything?” This implies that we should never know what a need is. In this declaration of a need, it is asserted to be in fact a sacred condition only known by god because the needing condition was in fact created by god as your book says of god, “your thoughts are not my thoughts and your ways are not my ways.” Why was the “needing” condition “applied” in human living.

According to the bible the needing condition is not only applied, but it has obviously been ordained. And yet, our needs are met before we ask? Is it ordained or not? If it was not ordained by God, then who was it that saturated the human condition with, this needing condition of where human beings suffer and yet are not supposed to suffer anything because our resolve is supposed to be met before this condition manifest? And why? You say the devil? Well according to your book your God also created this devil.

Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV)
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.”

It says I “form” it. This is present tense. It does not say “formed” which is past tense as to imply that evil has passed away and into nothingness.

When you are a parent knowing that a child is getting ready to come into the world, you act responsively in preparation for that child. You get the child everything that it needs before it arrives. This is called being a responsible parent. This is committed for the child never to know what a need is. I’m certain that plenty areas of this planet are in need of food and shelter, women who are being abused are in need of protection as well as children abroad as they are obviously left unfulfilled by this god of yours for rectification while containing what they need to liberate them. I'm also certain that they took plenty of their times of sorrow to pray to god for a resolve because they were in need, however they continue to suffer because of what they are in need of as this continues to plague them while again, god having what they need. How is it that their needs are met before they have any information on what a need is according to the condition? Where is the evidence? And if this is a fact, then explain why we have starvation and other catastrophes that have been almost out of a measurement of control.

“Matthew 6: 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”

According to Jesus’s words we were never supposed to know what needing anything means. Matthew 6: 8 is referring to the fear and stress of not having what you have been made to feel you have need of correct? Sounds as though we have been neglected into having to suffer to the degree that we come to need something because of thinking that it has not been supplied.

“Be not ye therefore like unto them?” Well, how many of us in the world are forced to be unto like them because this obvious condition because of being made/forced to feel abandonment? Those who have been forced to feel as though they have a need? What about as your book says, “you have not because you ask not?”

“I have to ask for what I should already have in your possession?” “You don’t have what you need from me because you have not asked me to supply you with what you need even though, I know what you need before you ask?” Asking for something is an appeal or a grievance to either relieve the suffering or to avoid a time coming preconceived as suffering. Why do we have to appeal for what is rightfully ours in regard to being created by God who is said to be our father in whom we can depend upon? If we are supplied of what we need before we ask, then I ask you Christians, “what does this imply of the substance, the urgency and necessity for prayer?” It is saying that we don’t have to pray in its assertion? The asking is a form of prayer correct? Unless you are able to clearly answer these questions then stay out of my inbox with this non-sense.
