We begin on Page 41 of our song book, "Divine Creation."
Welcome to AllFaith.com and Beit Emunah's Omnist Community Worship! This is a community service for all people of the Light. We invite your participation and contributions. Let us know if you would like to share a spiritual song or poem.
As an Omnist community, we recognize the Hand of the Divine all around us. The rivalries between traditions, religions, etc., have continued since human history began. Consider: Humanity is comparable to a single person. At first, we were like babies and depended on other entities for everything. We were understandably paranoid and superstitious. Locked in unknowing, we passed the buck to gods, demons, fate, the alignment of stars, etc. Anything to make sense out of the uncertainties we felt.
As we grew into our teenage years, our squabbling, fighting, and acting like fools, as teenagers tend to do, led us farther away from One God despite our many accomplishments. What was supposed to unite us woefully divided us, at least to some degree. As humanity fragmented, so did our theologies. For many, religion became a cause of conflict and bigotry. Religions have fostered peace and civilization but also caused wars and injustices. Both are true.
Surely, it's now time for us to embrace adulthood! We are no longer the Children of God, we must stand firm as the Adults of God. We are solely responsible for our actions, both individually and collectively. Our salvation is in our own hands, placed there by One God, a Parent who desires only the best for us, never ill. We must be mature enough to agree to disagree on the cultural incidentals and historic misunderstandings and unite to establish peace between ourselves, nurture the environment, and live as responsible "partners" with the Holy One for the good of all beings.
When humanity acts like adults and embraces our spiritual identity and heritage, One God always leads us to the next stage of human development. As a species, we aren't there yet, but we have the ability to put away childish sectarianism, greed, and violence and advance. If we fail to address these issues, more challenging times will ensue. Our current divisiveness, greed, and prejudices are not sustainable. We need One Love as never before. Page 45 in our songbook. - Public domain version
As spiritual adults, we know that not everything done in the name of religion produces light, but light is never produced by darkness, and so we reject it and kindle our spiritual flames and fill our lamps with oil, as in Yeshua's famous parable of the Ten Virgins. We are, in our essence, people of Light and Love. We must individually stand and take responsibility for the condition of our planet. As the offspring of One God, Asaph, the Psalmist here, calls us all gods (elohim) and declares this vital truth, especially to our religious and political leaders:
Elohim [God of gods] stands in the congregation of the elohim [gods or divine offspring, us]; Elohim judges the earthly elohim
[And says], How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked? Think!
[You are to] defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice for the afflicted and abused;
Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked!
The people do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are made unstable [because of your lack of proper leadership].
I, Elohim, said, “You are the elohim,
All of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like mortals,
And fall like mortal leaders.”
Arise, O elohim! Judge the wicked of the earth;
For You shall inherit all nations.We must individually and collectively reject and resist the darkness as we are able. Not just the religious and political leaders, but all of us. We must seek to produce the fruit of peace, justice, and harmony for the sake of all beings. Despite our differences, let us uplift one another as one family in the Light of One Awesome God. Let us not believe ourselves to be evil sinners or people with no hope! We reject such lies! Turn to page 35 as we affirm the truth: We are elohim! Created in the image of Elohim! We will bow to none but the God of our understanding!
On Page 40 we activate our desire for inner peace and extend it outward to all beings as we proclaim, "Let There Be Peace on Earth and let it begin with you and I."
Page 37 in our songbook: Oh Lord, You’re beautiful
Let us humble ourselves, understanding that we are not alone. We are all elohim, and together we must rise to our potential together. We declare "Namaste" to all beings, which is to say, "I see and honor God in you!" But for now, O God, just stay with me. Page 46 - Archive.com
May there be peace and well-being to all entities of Light.

Announcements:
Note: All Times are Eastern.My new book Below We Stand is NOW available on Kindle and in paperbook at Amazon.com.
I hope you will pick up a copy and join four friends on their quest as they learn the essential principles of embracing their humanity against all odds. Stuck in an unfulfilling, technologically repressive dystopia, they strike out together to find better lives and, in the process, help to save the world.
The Amazon link offers a sneak peek into the first two chapters, giving a taste of the novel's content.
The story explores human relationships and unlocks our shared humanity as the main characters join together to stand against a fictional but recognizable growing global trend toward tyranny. It calls for humans to see beyond our historic sectarianism and unite against the rising homo deus replacement species currently being advocated by people like Yuval Noah Harari and the transhumanists. The book also has a strong spiritual element and calls on God to help us help ourselves because, ultimately, One God is humanity's only hope, and we must awaken to that realization if we hope for peace and well-being.
