I have listened to many explanations regarding faith, religion and values. Although I would love to avoid any discussion regarding beliefs, I feel compelled to express my opinion on this subject.
It seems to me that certain explanations could mislead the human beings, who ask honest questions. Those who pretend to know or have the credentials take an unequivocal position, as if they were the only holders of the truth and had the direct line with the Almighty. Knowing the Bible, I have no intention to hurt anyone, to turn away or to convert anyone, from his or her religion. I am trying to bring some clarity to human beings. For thousands of years, everyone has been taught to love the God of his fathers, although it says in the Bible: "I am Thy God"
There are different systems of laws accessible to mankind.

The Physical Law (from which the laws of logic derive)
The Laws of the Soul (from which feelings derive)
The Law of the all encompassing Holy Spirit

These three sets of laws have each its own substance and they can interact among them. Rare are those who feel them and grasp them and are able to act in the tree substances.  Certainly the Bible could maybe help those who attain a certain spiritual level.
In the absolute reality there is no past, nor future - everything is in the present and in the same place at the same time. Human beings are born with a seed, where all the programs are preset, almost similar to the grain of a flower. Certain nations call it destiny. The flower's grain contains a few programs such as: its growth rate, the size, the color, the fragrance, etc. However, this grain can develop in different ways, depending on different conditions and circumstances such as : the quality of the earth, the quantity of water, the intensity of the sun shine, and the overall temperature. This grain can develop into a big plant or into a small and miserable one in another place.
The human being has the choice of his development, as he is endowed with three powers.

The power to create
The power of his will
The power of his faith

With these three keys, he has the power to shape his life.  For example he may choose to live within the field of love or outside of it.  Our conscience is aware of these choices and can guide us.
