Does the fact that God's(Jesus Christ) prefered method of reaching out to non-believers is through those people that are saved?
It's very rarely that God is gonna show up personally to see anybody;either you've prayed long and hard enough to achieve His presence, or there's a situation that requires Him to show up personally.
And He obviously thinks that the problems we have now (like starving africans,opressed nations ect.) are problems we have the power and ability to solve.We need for saved and spirit-filled leaders

So when do non-believers wise up and realize that their problems and lack of faith, and even humanity's problem in general are of our own doing and not God's fault.

1 Corinthians 14:32-The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.

Everything you said is true, they probably won't realize it until it's to late.

Wise up? Like I've said before, you have no more proof than I do. So insulting people's intelligence and spiritual wisdom by claiming they have none because they do not see things the way you do is really putting a damper on your mission to spread this Word.
Just because someone does not believe in your image of God, doesn't not mean they are blaming your God for anything. When you present your Bible as absolute Truth, THEN it becomes the battle. No book is equal to the Spirit, on ANY level. And quoting a book to someone who does not place that type of faith in it really does nothing.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be a b/itch, but you are coming across as arrogant... not in any way helpful... except to those who agree with you. You should consider changing your tactics.

God is not going to show up to you personally. No one sees him til they get to heaven, period. Now I think you are completly right. God obviously thinks we can solve these problems ourselves. Or all of these bad things could also be punishment for ignorance. Everything that is wrong in the world is our fault. Yes, there is the devil causing havoc but if everyone knew God and were christians and believed, the devil wouldn't have so much power. We all need to come together to fix whats wrong and I don't see that happening because so many people want to not believe and they say I'll believe it when I see it, by then it will be to late. All the believers just need to pray and pray hard for things to start to change.

How can you possibly say something like this when Bush, a supposedly spirit filled Christian leader is the case of so much misery in this world? How many more innocent people must die at his hands in order for you to realize that your premise is simplistic and naive?! Not only that, when are you going to wake up and see that some of the greatest leaders this world has ever had the privilege of knowing have NOT been Christian?!

Your thinking completely boggles my mind. I'm stunned at the utter childishness.

I agree that many of the problems on this earth are of humanity's own making. But here is where general Christian views and mine are different, not that I don't believe in Christ and God and all that, but I also believe man's earliest ancestors were homo-erectus and Australopithecus. If God wanted the situation on earth to be different or better, if would be that way. He would make it that way. Didn't He give power to Jesus to feed the multi-tudes with fish and loaves of bread? Didn't He give Moses the power to part the Red Sea to lead his people out of Eygpt?
How many times have you heard, "Thy will be done?" It is being done, and if He, God, wanted it different, it would be so. So don't wimp out and try to unload the earth's problem onto God by praying for Him to change them, because I'm sure you have already heard, many times, "the Lord helps those who help themselves."

I agree completely. Bush's method for going to Iraq was wrong, but we did need to go. He should've been honest with America. The press should be honest with America. We don't need to be shown an image of soldiers fighting 50 times, we also need to see the soldiers giving food to those Iraqis and other people. North Korea is not to be blamed on any one person, there are tons of people who messed up. I just hope we don't get a nuke dropped on us because of their mistakes. I appreciate your effort, but make sure you personally vote next month. That's the only way we can ensure people with values will get in office.

Ummmmm.....yes, we get that already. Why would a non-believer blame a god they don't believe in for anything? Perhaps you're confused.

Does it really escape God that his so-called preferred method of reaching out to non-believers is a really lame one?

Do you not think those problems we have now like homelessness, oppressed nations, "Aids" are the things we have reaped?

For years the world went on without worrying about cause and effect and as it is written. "You reap what you sow."

He should try to "save" some people who aren't complete idiots. Maybe they'd have a better chance at converting us non-believers.
