One entity (Monotheism) cannot have two wills.

Two seperate entities (polytheism) can have two wills.

Jesus and God have two seperate entities as we all know from the famous Bible verse.

Matthew 26:39 "And going a little way forward, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will.”

"The biggest mistake that many teens make is to talk over their parents. You need to hear what their parents say."

I am not a fundie, so don't start thinking that. I am an agnostic and a practicing Buddhist. But can your problem be that you fail not to see a reality beyond the five senses? When asking to see God(s) or anything paranormal, should it only be seen with the physical eyes and not the eye of understanding (mind eye)? Is your world view limited to only the five senses and not beyond. Maybe you are not seeing the whole picture. I don't mean to rag on you but I am just wondering how you feel.

For the ones who say, I have...... are you sure God hasn't been helping you in small ways that you don't even think about.
Such as, doesn't others that help you in some way when you're in need?
Basically that God has helped those who helped you.

I know I cannot survive with out God, the many small or large ways he helps me to go forward. ~ Yes I amit I am weak in human form, and strong in faith in God.

Good morning
Peace ~!~

Believing on Christ means a whole lot more than agreeing in my mind with the truths of the Bible. It means that I have come to trust the whole Bible, God's law book to me. It also means that I have an on-going earnest desire to be obedient to the commands of the Bible. Thus I find I am truly happy when I am living like God instructs me in the Bible.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1 John 2:3
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24

It seems that so many religions out there are divisive even though thier intentions are good. We need to have more unity, even with our differences. I feel the spirit of Buddhism is to be a uniter and not a divider. Should we take a more active role in spreading peace and compassion in the world. I am not saying spreading Buddhism, because not everyone is a practicing Buddhist. I am saying to keep spreading the real true religion which is kindness and peace.

After you’ve read through this, I guarantee that you’re eyes will be opened in such a way you’ve never imagined. It might seem long, but once you’ve gotten into it, you’ll be done before you even realize it! You do not want to skip a line, trust me!

We here assume that everything the Bible says is true.

Given: If man doesn’t accept Jesus as his Savior, he will not be saved.

Question: Does God deliberately create people that He intentionally does not save? Thus, does God predestine the faith of man, or does He merely foresee the future and ultimately leave the choice upon man’s shoulder?

One must ask, in what way does God expect man to believe in Him? Generally speaking, the only reference we have to His existence is the “Bible”. So it is safe to say that God wants man to believe in Him through uncertainty or what Christians call “faith”.

It seems that many Christians are so fascinated with blood and death that it is all they think about when it comes to Jesus. Have Christians actually missed the point. Jesus said to love one another, yet I see so many Christians behaving in a bigoted way. So, are his instructions the key to salvation instead of his death?
