 | Logician 2 hours ago The Covid-19 spreading again with no letup, gives a hint to fight the virus differently. Our One Almighty God wants all the people in the world start worshiping only One God. As majority of the people today in the world worship more than One God and joined partners to Him, despite all the scriptures of all religions say to worship only One God but people are wrongly or ignorantly based on hearsay worshiping idols, humans, demigods, trinity and many gods by which they reject own scriptures when all the scriptures say, “There is only One God, worship Him, Ekam Evadvitiyam, He is One only without a Second. There is no deity but God. LORD our God is One”. Our God wants the people in the world follow their religious scriptures honestly to worship only One God then this Covid-19 can be defeated soon. So it is time for the people of all religions to stop fighting in the name of religions by starting to worship only One God. We must also know apart from humans One Almighy God is glorified by everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the birds spreading their wings and every Creature knows his prayer and glorification and animals never fight on religions as all worship Only One God. Call for help to Almighty God by worshiping Him alone to defeat the Covid forever. |
