Just ask Saul... the non Jesus believer, who became Paul the Jesus believer.
Saul at that time was to become God's instrument to save Christianity. And Jesus name Saul Paul.
Non- believers God may use you to do his will, there's hope.
What do you think, God does care about you, and God wants to use you for his purpose, sincerely do you think someday you may turn around???

Angel of music...I don't believe it's all predetermined, because God wants us see us open our hearts to him on our own. God wants us as family with him in Heaven.

yes I agree that some of the Bible may not me true, due to the hand of man. but the point is I know GOD is REAL, I KNOW JESUS is REAL, by my experiences, and my spirituality, I just wanted some answer on how you feel....BUT I get these anger, ugly answers that a child wouldn't even answer like that, I don't care what your religion is, I feel I don't need one.

I used to be a nonbeleiver but then one time I saw this squirrel run out in front of a car and the car swerved to avoid it and the guy driving the car spilled coffee all over his lap. It really made me think about the natural bennevolence people have and how we are basically machines programmed to be nice, even at great cost to our own selves. The squirrel went under the tire of the car and exploded and made a great noise! I didn't even know that squirells could make noise but this one did! The guy that spilled the coffee on his lap got out of the car and yelled at the dead squrell for a while. But, that didn't matter because I was so lost in thought about god and human nature and things. It really made me think, and reevaluate my views. That is why i beleive that god has a plan for us all.
I hope this helps!

After many years of being Christian and studying the Bible and other religions, I came to the conclusion that the Bible is not the infallible word of god. The Bible was written by men, for men, to control men.
I know I will not "turn around". There are too many contradictions.
Not to mention God's treatment of non-believers. He uses extortion to gain our souls. "Believe in me or Burn in Hell?" What kind of loving God is that?
"Delphyne, I don't believe all that was written by man, but I do trust God, put the Bible aside and pray to God, Jesus, be patient"
Been there, done that.
I am much better off, thank you. Maybe you should pray to Goddess that you see the error of your ways.

It is funny that you should say that. After spending 30 years in the Christian faith, I left it because of how it has become. I am increasingly ashamed of the Christians that talk the talk but can't and don't walk the walk. The louder the Christian spouts about how much God loves me, the more I know that the person saying it doesn't. I see no kindness for fellow human beings here. I see no compassion for those who may be truly confused. I have see my former brethren make terrible remarks to kids who have serious problems and you should be ashamed. This is the example that you are giving the world. You do nothing here to honor the Lord to the non-believer. Why would they follow a book when the ppl telling them about it act this way? You talk amongst yourselves for reassurance instead of having the Lord standing behind you. How will you answer before the gates? Yes he saved you but you will still have to answer the questions.

And the transition of Saul from Atheist to Christian is written in....oh gosh, the BIBLE! Not exactly a reliable source when you're trying to prove the bible real.

The Bible is sparkling the only thank you to heaven is thru Jesus Christ. notwithstanding, i in my opinion have confidence that not basically Christians are going to pass into Heaven a lot of them could unquestionably finally end up staying besides. consequently God reported that He would not return till His be conscious grow to be preached all international. be conscious Preached this would not propose eveyone interior the international might convert, yet they're going to nonetheless have heard the be attentive to Christ. So this suggests that Christ will provide everybody a great gamble to take heed to Him, notwithstanding not everybody will settle for and due to that not everybody is going to pass into heaven. So, basically those that fairly have confidence and persist with Christ are the single's which will enter! everybody could have heard approximately him that way there is not any excuse! God Bless!

I believe that everyone creates their own Destiny. What would be the point of trying to be a good person if everything was pre-determined. What do you think God's purpose is for humans. Just curious.

Why would turn around to follow a fictitious character? There is no evidence for the existence of any God, caring or not.

This kind of so-called 'question' disgusts me. I am disgusted by stupidity, willful ignorance and self delusion... which pretty much sums up the Abrahamic death cults of desert monotheism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).
It disgusts me to know that three-quarters of the population of the USA is infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental aspects of existence and reality.
It disgusts me to know that so many people dwell in a delusional reality (per Genesis) in which a 6,000 year-old Earth is seperated from a 6,000 year-old Heaven by a solid 'firmament' structure (the sky).
I am disgusted by the fact that these people believe that they inhabit a magical universe, which they share with talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, a shepherd staff that turns into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raised from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from a dust bunny and a rib, a magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush... and ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker.
In a sane world, anybody running around spouting ANY of that crap, would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass for the loony.
It disgusts me to know that in our society, irrational, deluded people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE such nonsense is TRUE are permitted to vote, hold public office, procreate, and shape the minds trusting, vulnerable children.
It disgusts me to know that these same people think that there is something wrong with those who DON'T believe all of this ridiculous crap.
Get a grip.

you reference a "story" created by man (the bible) written by PEOPLE. not priests or the pope know what god's purpose is, that is something everyone finds out after life.
