Alot of people have been posting about Jesus and getting into heaven. most say, that he's not nessicary and that God is merciful and forgiving to everyone no matter what. I've got a better question to you all, If God was so merciful and loving, why would he not contact man? All these posts talk about God as some far off being that cant be reached. it's like he's there but not there. let me tell all of you guys something, if a creator spent the time to create this universe and every cell and organism in it, he would bother to make contact and attempt to make a relationship with his creatures. it's stupid to think of God as some far off being, b/c he's not. God created the world, man sinned and seperated themselves from God. God wanted to be connected so he sent Jesus. Jesus is now the bridge to God. Heaven is just a bonus, not the reason we need to be believing. We should love and serve God not to get to heaven, but to love and please our Creator. Jesus Christ is the only way to God

Sin had a punishment that had to be paid and God loved us so much that he sent his only begotten son to pay that penalty for us. Because he was the only worthy sacrifice to pay the price, he was able to conquer death and give us a way to conquer death as well. He paid the price and offered the way to us as a gift. It is up to us to accept the gift or not. John 3:16

So many people make it their mission to disprove the existence of God. So many try to draw people AWAY from the Lord. And they just think they're being smart. They think they're clever and they like showing off their "intelligence". Pointing out how wrong and stupid believers are. What they don't realize is that they're the Devil's pawns. They're doing the Devils work, trying to draw people away from the Lord and to prevent others from coming to Him. And they are totally clueless. The Devil makes us prideful.
It's amazing how many of us do the Devils work. Some knowingly do it, others don't even realize it's happening. It's a shame really, because we're ALL God's children and each of us matters to Him, but we've been turned against eachother haven't we? In so many ways.
I hope a few of you will think about this and see what I'm trying to tell you. Good luck to you my friends.

you contradict yourself on every level. congratulations youve been labeled a fundamentalist
it's stupid to think of God as some far off being, b/c he's not.
God created the world, man sinned and seperated themselves from God.
This is a CONTRADICTION it means that what you said conflicted with what you said. You said God is not sepreate from us then you said God is seperate from us.

Ah, but God has given a part of himself to reside within each of his children. He is always there, waiting for us to respond and reciprocate. Whenever you think or do something good, that is God within you acting. It's like the light is always there but we must flip the switch to see it.

Don't forget, Jesus Christ IS God. He isn't far off. We have His Word. It's up to us. We can be very close to Him if we choose.

You can hear Him. Just often we block Him out (purposfully or not).
