@TomatoHorse If God is, what believers believe Him to be, why should we doubt His ability to accomplish His purpose in guiding the hands of men to write as He directs? To quote the Book: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things...

The publicans and the harlots are according to most men [Christians?] the bad guys. Yet, it from among them more often are to be found the ones able to give it all up and enter in. I will repeat here a testimony really belonging to my wife which seems to fit the situation: At one place where I...

The work in the man Jesus was finished, but for you me, it was only an opportunity for a new beginning. Jesus opened the Gate/Door that was shut to everyone when Adam and Eve were put outside of the Garden of Eden. For it to be finished for us, we must be properly prepared [wearing proper...

@Mayflower I will praying with you on this.

You may at one time have studied the Bible well but your lack of understanding shows up in what you have written here on this forum.

Well I'll not argue the point with you. What I care about is God's point of view. Is it presented in the Bible? I believe so, but I also believe that not just anyone who reads the Bible will see God in it. That is their loss... and then I suppose yours. I would that it were not so.

Perhaps our best answer would be what we read in scripture, but does this describe almighty God? "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white...

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John 14:12

Have you, who says there is no God, now decided what God must be according to your conception? Believers do not fully understand and they often disagree on what He is, yet you would tell us what He must be.

Communication between people is always a problem. When we are able to communicate correctly with God, our communication with other believers will not be a problem even on points on which we disagree. Study is a good thing and we are told to study, but study alone is not a guarantee of a final...

Thank you for the response.

No, I cannot know. If you had no good reasons for your belief then it may have been ill founded. You want to find the truth in your own way, but if there really is a God and He will only accept people willing to walk His Way, it may leave you out in the cold...or?

Thank you for the clarification!

"And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12

I would really pay not attention in many cases what people call themselves or what they say. Look rather to their hearts. That is what God does. Can we see the hearts of others? "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out...

This is the direction but alone how can anyone take it? how can anyone stay on the road to the end? "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23

Sounds more like an agnostic than a true atheist!

I don't want to blame you. That is not my job. What I see from your words is that you quit because of what did or did not happen to you in this natural life. This natural life is only a proving ground. Sometimes God will give us material blessings while we are here, but sometimes we must walk...

And every time you stumbled did you know that you had stumbled? If you knew did you not proceed to the bottom and start all over again throwing out every preconceived notion, every previously held belief? "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a...

Don't make it complicated by trying to figure it out yourself with your own logic. That is taking hold of your own reins instead of letting Him taking hold of your reins. You must surrender to Him repeatedly until He has finished the work: "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself...
