(treeoflife;52769) So you know what good is more than the maker of good, and the one who makes the difference between good and evil?Just know that there are many who have struggled through much worse things than many can imagine, yet they die believing that God is good. Yet others, change their...

(Rudy;52649) Anyone can choose to truly accept Jesus, but it takes true faith. God sees your heart, Lunar, and you can't just decide that because you're board you will try to accept Jesus. It is not a game; it must from sincerity, and if God sees that you're playing a game with Him, He won't...

(Jackie D;52524) Quite an assumption on your part don't you think Lunar? I don't believe you are truly so sensitive as to consider I am lumping or comparing you with a communist...pa-lease (giggle) I'm not assuming anything; you just said precisely that. If that's not what you meant, though...

(Jackie D;52505) There is a book you might find interesting. It is called "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand. You may find not only his journey interesting but also the testimony of thousands of atheists/communists who made the choice contrary to everything they knew and turned to God...

It's been said many times that if one truly opens his heart to Jesus, Jesus will reveal himself to that person and save him. This struck me as a very silly idea. But I decided, while lying bored in bed one night, to try it.Needless to say, nothing happened. But of course, I realized, I hadn't...

(treeoflife;52429) Though unjust, though it doesn't seem fair... it is part of life, and God who offers ETERNAL LIFE is good all the time. That's simply reassertion, not argument. God is good all the time...except when he allows evil to happen! Regardless of the payoff at the end, allowing evil...

I"]But God is omnipotent. He doesn't need to have people choose to obey him to have glory. He can simply will himself to have glory, because he's omnipotent.

(Jackie D;52381) Nor is God trying to acquire glory But that's what the passage says. He created the universe for his glory.(Jackie D) He is no less to us than an earthly father to his sons and daughters. He finds enjoyment and fulfillment in them. But - and this is the real crux of the...

(Jackie D;52362) sounds like beelzebub just spoke. No offense intended to you Lunar, as you are most likely just asking questions. Well I'm glad you didn't mean it, but I actually am kind of offended. I hope I'm not being accused of being possessed by Satan or something.(Jackie D) So tell me...

(Rudy;52345) Jeremiah 31:3 -- The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.Isaiah 43:7 -- Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made...

(Jackie D;52305) Your best place to find these answers is in the bible, prayer and someone you find you can trust to be to the point that you respect because he speaks truth to you. IMO Do you think maybe you could point me to a few verses that address this question, to get started on?

A simple question.God, supposedly, is a being of infinite power and wisdom. What reason would he have to concern himself with creating a physical universe, and in particular, people? Why did he bother?

(eternalarcadia;51878) Could you think of one other prophet who claimed repeatedly to be one with God and to be the truth and the life?Who else offered to single-handedly take away the sin of the world?Other religions teach as well that you have to do things by yourself to save yourself from...

(Jackie D) no I think that not believing in God is illogical So now I'm confused. When you posted this:(Jackie D) For many if there is no logic to it, it is inconsequential, so they miss out on some really important things in life, things that make life even more fulfilling it sounds as though...

(Jackie D;51743) I don't have a clue about most science and don't care to. Just as I believe that there are many unbelievers who come here not having a clue about God or Christianity except what they have experienced in the distasteful, therefore all Christians and Christianity must be...

(Lot'sLot) Children who die young, or who are sick? There's a reason, just have faith. Who knows, maybe their death curtails some great tragedy that would have been brought upon us. Yes, I'm sure every infant who dies in childbirth or starves to death was a fascist dictator just waiting to...

(treeoflife;51618) And, that's your deception. It is what you believe, in faith, and by the brainwashing I have spoken of before. I know it's offensive that I call it brainwashing, but it's really the best word to describe what it is that you believe, and how you believe it. God's Word calls...

(treeoflife) I can test gravity, right now, at my desk, and I can see it proved over and over again. Yes, you can produce evidence for the theory of gravity very easily. That's why it's accepted as scientific fact - because it's a theory which has never been falsified, with a huge amount of...
