I am going through a rough point in my life, and I have labeled myself as agnostic. I just don't know if I believe in God right now. I have never seen any proof of it. Well, I told one person, and now I am even more socially isolated than before. People who have always be close to me don't even come around anymore. Why are people so threatened by difference of belief or opinion? Also, if there were a God, why wouldn't he help me right now when I feel so alone?

I think that was rude.

Why should religious people expect the world to stop just because they choose to?

If you want to dilly dally before you eat why should I wait for you?

We always seem to be tossing around verses but I try so hard to make them apply to me each day and so if I hope in God, that means no matter what is happening to me, I know He is in control. But there are consequences of sin, if you kill someone, you won't get set free from prison just because you hope in God. So ???? in our daily lives, we are continally challenged by all kinds of things, and I think obedience to God means we have to listen very very very carefully and obey and then when we hope and are following His ways, HE really blesses us but maybe not in monetary ways or healing but in ways we need. How do you hope in the Lord in real words, in your own daily habits and examples ?

I'm 45 business woman and I work as H.R. manager in a big multinational company.
Some months ago, during a big convention in an exotic location, far away fro any hospital,I had to suffer terribly because of kidney stones.
After hours of excruciating pain and nobody who could help me, in spite of all my efforts, I didn't manage to fight back the tears and I started silently crying in front of many of my colleagues.
I felt very embarassed...
What do you think?
How old were you last time that physical pain made you cry?

Bible scholars and jesus lovers, I would like down to earth today ways, examples, not just verses thrown at me, I can do that thru a Bible reference system and I do, but I like to hear from others what they really do, what daily actions you take as steps in reality ( I know we pray for it first ) then what exactly do you do, what decision do you make in your head each day, what habits do you establish, because sin is always beating at our doors all the way around our house !!!! and I mean gossiping and slandering and judging, those kinds of sin.

"The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void."

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word
OK, this was an offshoot from my daily reading and I want to know exactly what it means in today's world, 2007, how do we "hang on every word". I know it means be in the word, but in listening and praying and being alive, how do you "hang on God's every word" when we are so biraged by the world ? I hope you see and if you don't I will check back and you can email me. I really want to grow in this area.

Now the LORD said[a] to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
