    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    It wasn't part of any plan, lemme tell ya! I guess one post lead to another...sorry, I won't be responding much anymore anyway...no more going on....on this topic, I mean. But hey, gotta admit things aren't dull around here!

    Not the place, sweety. Take care.

    Delight in the Lord...a contemplation on what this could mean..

    When I first came upon this verse...it actually was Beth Moore looking intently into the camera, whispering with so much passion, saying the words slowly.., Here I was a baby Christian having never heard this sentence...raised Catholic. My nature it seems is to take one thing and think on it...

    Sorry, this post doesn't make sense....I have no comment. Huh. ...a nose?...the whole thing is silly for me to respond to ...god and God, silly...now this has become a waste of my time. I'm not mad...it's just silly. I may not be reading your posts...skim, maybe, until they are making sense...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    I was perfectly content with what you all believe in. Why? Because it kinda made sense...I followed all the reasons and logic...what I thought was God's righteous judgment and so on. I was a happy regular Christian...above average , however because my particular sufferings influenced me...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    What do people think is God's "standard of justice "? Seems it may be if you don't tow the line...He kills you. If you are pure of heart He kills you... for others that didn't tow the line. I mean, according to the Bible. I say this with all seriousness. Now, is God in a place where there is...

    Delight in the Lord...a contemplation on what this could mean..

    When approaching this phrase/verse...one must think on... "What is it to delight?" ha! ''....to delight in a sunset, a flower, my doggy, my baby, a person, my food, the morning air after a rain..." hmmm... What does delight even mean? This is part of the contemplation one ponders inside with...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Thank you! I 100% understand it would be hard. It's a new thing I'm saying, when millions and millions for centuries believed something else! Were told something else! I know...I was one of them!! I believed the logic that God 'needed' blood; that someone or something (a lamb) could take away...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    My knowledge comes only from me? Where else should it come from? Hearsay? Ignorant, as you know doesn't mean stupid, but uninformed, uneducated about something. A concept is not a truth..but an idea, opinion. Early man had an ignorant concept about the earth being flat. When he saw the earth...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Hey,if you don't see it as some wacko concept that a Being of infinite Love would even think, then I would be at a loss of words. God isn't a scary Star Trek Being. God's ways are not our ways...nor His thoughts...agreed. Was his sacrifice an ignorant concept? Didn't I answer that, from my...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Hi 101G...RE your example: my love for my son...a murderer, would not change. His repentance would make my heart swell in thankfulness. His ignorance if he was not sorry would not change my love for him, tho. Would it anyone? My dog nipped my neighbor's show poodle before an event. Mine darted...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Tabletalk....on jealousy..my take, OK? Just how I see it. Jealousy for God is so innocent, cute, precious and sweet...without guile of any sort..just like when my German Shepherd nudges the cat out of the way when I pet her. Not the angry spouse that kills or divorces his wife jealousy. So I...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    What is an ignorant concept is that God needed this to happen...as if He needed this for anything. Would you need it? Have a son go thru that in order to forgive what his older brother did years before? Would that idea make sense to you? Did Jesus die on a Cross? I've never thought that it didnt.

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Fair question. Many reasons. But, first, -one would have to believe in the story of the Fall of Man in the Garden. I don't. -One would have to believe the Creator of the Universe, God, the brilliant Father Almighty, was some sort of Omnipresent all knowing Spiritual Being tyrant that thought in...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    No, my dear. Does it portray God as an angry, killing machine? So, no. :] ....was he portrayed as an angry killing machine? So, no. A fair and honest question; from direct, up-close and personal, intimate contact. Does this confound good people that read the Bible? Yes, it does. I am sorry for...

    Re SPEAKING IN TONGUES

    I don't know anything about posters histories. I am amazed how I do not exactly get what speaking or praying in tongues even is, tho, I have many books on it to help me. But, within a week of being Baptized in the Holy Spirit, and wow...the stories I could tell....I was able to pray in tongues...

    Did God Need Jesus' Sacrifice to Make You Acceptable to Him?

    Hmm,now you sound like my ex...very level headed.Thank you. Why do I seem so opposed to words from some questionable sources that make my loving Father, Whom I know very personally, into a vengeful, mean, angry, immature, killing machine? Well, because they come from a place of savage, ignorant...

    Good, I'm glad they didn't have any effect on you..I blurted that out when i should have kept my thoughts to myself!!! 24 years in relationship with a therapist! Words in books don't scare me, just sayin'...and God never will... He's my loving Dad.
