Is your God really "Your" God? How is God your God? You love to mention that God is your God. Is that the same as when you say to other people that's your children, or your car, or your house. Everything has to be your's. Is the universe also completely your's? No wonder you suffer a inability to share with one another. Go back to Jesus core teaching's people, you've lost your way.

Will you listen to the message that Jesus instructed Mary Magdalene to deliver?

”… go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (John 20:17)

I believe Jesus’ message.

Go back to Jesus core teaching's people …

That’s good advice. I’ve taken it.

You’ve lost your way. Won’t you take your own good advice?

Thank you for post.

Here is Ruth speaking to Naomi:

Ruth 1:16 But Ruth replied, “. . . Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. “

Peace.

Exactly. Because you've specified Jesus as your personal God. But I never specified a God of any particular group, just that why do people believe that a God of the universe is their God and their God alone. Hmm. Why?

I haven’t. I’m a Jewish monotheist. What I have specified is that Jesus’ Father and God and is my Father and God. That is my personal God.

But I never specified a God of any particular group, just that why do people believe that a God of the universe is their God and their God alone. Hmm. Why?

You did say “Go back to Jesus core teaching’s people”. That, to my mind, is specifying a particular group.

I say to go back to Jesus core teachings, because even though I am a non-believer in regards to having a personal God. I really do respect Jesus's teachings, because he is and was a great teacher of ethics. You're not supposed to use what Jesus taught you for your own personal advantage.

There are many great teachers of ethics. Jesus is and was more than that. He is the Messiah, Son of the living God.

You're not supposed to use what Jesus taught you for your own personal advantage.

I’m using what Jesus taught me to do what Jesus commissioned his followers to do.

Shut out the noise coming from those whom you believe are knuckleheads (including me). Listen to, believe, and obey the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.

Do you still read Jesus and the apostles? Do you hear their voices?

Just so you know girl I decided not to attending court so you can keep hiding how you actually feel. They'll have to find me and drag me before a judge. Wake up child, they don't know anything, all their beliefs are a lie.

No. I just remember what Jesus taught.

Hold onto it but remember this: he spoke about what would happen to those who hear him but don’t do what he says to do. It isn’t going to end well for those who are hearers but not doers.

I want it to end well for you.

Is your “self” really yours? How is self “your” self? Its origin is outside you. You did not form your ego out of only inner elements. You speak of your car, your house, your personality, your agnosticism, but none of it ultimately belongs to you.

Go back to the first thought you ever had, or the thought you are thinking right now, and trace its development, you’ve lost your way.
