So many young/ youth Christian leaders these days are interested leading bible studies, being active at church, seving God but why does so many of these leader don't actively go out share the gospel? Why are so many Christian not into discipleship? making disciple after disciple? Whole point is great commission but why does people who say they are Christian, serving at church don't actively do it?

The devil had made himself god of the earth. that is written . so when I fought him. and won I became god. now I protested knowing I'm not god.

" I've been trying to get t know Jackie since this occured...."

the quote literally came from creator... through me...
the devil left a rut. a cycle in the universe. we here on earth are trying to fill it.

creator doesn't see the details.
this is what it has been like.
think proportionately, figuratively and not litterally for this one.

god is like a human and a human is like the smallest ant you've ever seen... so he put it under a magnifying glass... then saw the light as reflected through a magnifying glass and said light is good I see better... but we understand the cause and effect of using that on an ant... he didn't see any harm.. he could look at any of us like that.. and it hurts... I've been under that magnifying glass for 30 yrs... and I'm still around..

He was getting tired of this search for infinity,
He'd been thru such a boring eternity.

Things weren't turning out the way he planned
He had these legs with nowhere to stand.
He had these ears, but no sounds to hear,
no one to talk with, or to share a beer.
He had these eyes with nothing to see,
no land, or sky, not even a tree.
Just sitting alone, all thru the nite,
So he decided one day to turn on the light.

He gathered a bunch of eternal smutt,
dust and clay, and God knows what.
He created these balls for some strange reason,
He wanted them finished before growing season.
The soil was dry, and starting to harden,
So he ploughed it up to make his garden.
This garden was green, cool, and shady,
then he created Man and the man's old lady.

With their bare behinds, they looked so cute,
He then gave them trees with very smart fruit.
He said, please smell these treats, but don't partake,
for you'll get a nasty, and long lasting belly ache.

Recently it has been revealed from some hitherto unpublished letters written by Mother Theresa that she underwent a 'crisis of faith' in her last forty years.

I have pretty much concluded that as much as I search for answers (studying, researching, and talking with others) that at the end of the day its still a decision that I alone have to make, and no one can help me with it. Agreed?

Do you say the pledge of allegiance. How do you feel about "one nation under God"

. Quite often we have in our minds what we believe we want to do only to have a course correction. Often the course correction comes through a major crisis that forces us into an area that we would never have considered.
Such was the case for Samuel Morse. Born in 1791, Morse grew up desiring to be an artist, and he eventually became very talented and internationally known. However, it was difficult to make a living as an artist in America during that time. A series of crises further complicated his vocational desire when his wife died; then his mother and father also died soon after. He went to Europe to paint and reflect on his life. On his return trip aboard a ship, he was captivated by discussions at dinner about new experiments in electromagnetism.

WET PANTS
Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.

..."Peace be with you!" - John 20:19
How would you respond to a group of fellow workers if you were their leader and you poured your life into them, teaching them all you know for three years, only to have them disband and go their own way when troubles came? What would you say to them after you were reunited for the first time? Perhaps you might scold them. Perhaps you might cite each one's offense. At the least, you might shame them for their lack of faithfulness and courage.
After Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead, He appeared to the disciples. His first words to them were, "Peace be with you!" The word grace means "unmerited favor." When someone loves you unconditionally, without regard to your behavior in return, it becomes a powerful force in your life. Such was the case for the disciples when Jesus appeared to them. They could have expected reprimand. Instead, they received unconditional love and acceptance. He was overjoyed to see them. They were overjoyed as well.

If you are an atheist do you realize that you have more faith than someone believes in God because their is more evidence that God is real and less that he is not real?

Here's my concern: Now there is a Hell, and it will eventually be crammed with billions of souls writhing and screaming in agony thoughout eternity --

And it's all because he decided to create stuff in the first place?

He cannot abolish Hell, because he's already told all sinners and unbelievers that they will burn and rot forever...?

So, God is basically stuck with a place full of souls in misery and torment, moaning angrily, knashing their teeth?

Whereas -- before he started creation, the universe contained no suffering?

Question for church folks: Does God ever get depressed about this situation, and wish he could undo it?

Also, replies from Bible scholars appreciated.
