Do you God believers agree with this : why or why not :
Matthew 9:34-38
Jesus visited not only the great and wealthy cities, but the poor, obscure villages; and there he preached, there he healed. The souls of the meanest in the world are as precious to Christ, and should be so to us, as the souls of those who make the greatest figure. There were priests, Levites, and scribes, all over the land; but they were idol shepherds, Zec 11:17; therefore Christ had compassion on the people as sheep scattered, as men
perishing for lack of knowledge. To this day vast multitudes are as sheep not having a shepherd, and we should have compassion and do all we can to help them.

Can... ONE ... Love Jesus... without Obeying HIM ?

(John 15:8-TO-14) In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.

(Joh 15:9) As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.

(Joh 15:10) If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

(Joh 15:11) I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.

(Joh 15:12) This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

(Joh 15:13) No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

(Joh 15:14) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Can... ONE ... Love Jesus... without Obeying HIM ?

James 1:22 .... " And YOU be Doers of the Word... and Not Merely Hearers... Deceiving Your Own Selves!

Thanks, RR

O! Science,
Born of human brain
Unfolder of mysteries
Yet holder of more –

I adorn thee
For your immortal youth
Ever since Man born,
That sounds your
History in many a language
A boon for Man.

With reckoned approach,
Thou’ve made vast
World narrow to access.
Man with your sparks
Digs out more.

O Science, wait,
Hear me:
Every coin has two sides.
You made world
Narrow to access.
But, you know why
Man’s Mind too?

With your sparks
Man digs out more.
But you know why
Man is aflame with fire
To increase mortality?

My cent percent applause
To you - only
When you reign
Uncontrolled Human Mind.

You might think; the sum of you who judge me according to what you don't know, that God has only had me speak openly to you all because he wanted to use me for only a period and then like bad salt that He spoke of through me away. Well see my agenda was a lot more then you may think. I have not just come to say this because I want to be full of myself: no I otherwise say these thing because I want you who do not know the Lord to know Him; that you may be called sons of God. Because it was not my was not my desire first off for you to be rescued but God's. And that is why you should thank Him. 1 Corinthians- 1:4- I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

"Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race."

Once guilt is created in you, you are in the clutches of the priest.
You cannot escape now because he is the only one who can clean all the shameful parts of you, who can make you capable of standing before God without being ashamed.
He creates the fiction of God.
He creates the fiction of guilt.
He creates the fiction that one day you will have to stand before God: so be clean and be pure, and be in such a state that you can stand before Him without any fear, and without any shame.

Entertaining the possibibity that there is one in the first place, why would God let you suffer for eternity due to being tricked by the devil? Wouldn't it be far more humane just to make you not exist anymore? Honestly, if given the choice, would you take Hell or non-existence?

Some religious people on here are annoyed when an Atheist asks a question that starts with the word "if". For example, "if God is all powerful...", "If Jesus walked on water...". These are called hypothetical questions, and are legitimate to ask. In fact, to ask a question ASSUMing that God exists makes an A_S_S of U and Me. So, to assume God exists when asking a question is worse than asking a legitimate hypothetical one. If you are going to assume God exists, why ask the question?

In fact, "if" is a part of an "if-then" statement in logic, which believers have a particular problem with. Atheists rely on deductive logic/reason which use if-then statements, while believers abandon reason and rely on faith instead.
