....*( I didn't even know he was lost, I thought he was dead.)*...I feel so loved by Jesus..exc..exc.
Happiness, Joy, Love, what do such words even mean? That's for fools,Ist it? I mean I believe life is holy and good, all of it. Misery and suffering are part of it and are therefore good. Night and day. Light and dark. Life and death. Good and evil. God and the devil, all differnt sides of the same coin. The only real happiness is finding to learn to accept misery , pain and sorrow as the only ways to be " happy" so why do you christians say the only way to be happy is to believe in a dead carpentar, Jesus I believe is his name... so why why why do you say that..????!!!! why are you so unenlightened??!!!

1. Because they really see the light and feel the rush of Blessings confered upon accepting Jesus
2. Notice how most unhappy people try to psych themselves into believing they are happy by telling other people they are happy? Its all about convincing others but in truth its about convincing themselves. Just like many lonely people, insist they love being alone, but behave in Bitter, Morbid and Mean attitudes. Actions speak louder than conscious words. A truly happy and contented person doesn't need to blare it to the world
3. I like that line you typed: "The only real happiness is finding to learn to accept misery , pain and sorrow as the only ways to be " happy" its like Pray for what you want, and accept what you get. Very wise words

i could give you numerous scriptural proofs for the reasons why we have the joy we have, but you probably don't believe the validity of the Bible anyway. I believe the Bible is the inspiried word of God, because God has always worked through man:
2Peter 1:21 For prophecy was not borne at any time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke being borne along by the Holy Spirit.
And everything I believe about Christ seems stupid to you because you are dead in the spirit and lost in sin:
1Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.
Luke 24:11 And their words seemed to them like foolishness, and they did not believe them.
1Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
You, who think you are so enlightened, are walking in complete and utter darkness.
Luk 11:35 Therefore take heed that the light in you is not darkness.
John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 12:35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness come upon you. For he who walks in darkness does not know where he goes.
John 12:46 I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes on Me should not remain in darkness.
Eph 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He takes the wise in their own craftiness."
Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
Finally, one verse concerning joy:
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
True joy comes from the Holy Spirit, not from our own "inner wisdom" or some other new age mantra. Misersy and suffering are only here because mankind disobeyed God and when Christ returns misery, suffering, and death will be overcome. Unenlightened? I think you need to actually read a Bible if you truly want to know why we say what we do...

I think you know your assertion "America was founded as a christian nation" is mistaken.The Declaration of Independence is a wonderful document but it has no legal bearing."Creator" was used as a compromise between God and no mention at all. The word religion is used twice-no requirement for office(Art VI) and no establishment(Ist Amendment).The word lord is used in the closing-The Year of Our Lord.This was very common usage at the time.Very deliberately there's no mention of God,Jesus or chrisianity.This was done to establish a secular government.The Founding Fathers were very wise men. Our Constitution has nothing to do with the 10 commandments.Nada,zilch,etc.Once again,deliberately. When America is brought down it will be by people carrying a flag and a bible.Beware the christian dominionists. (((Jayden's Aunt))) (((Avocado)))

I expect people say they have found new happiness because they feel happier than they did before. Take them at their word. I know that doesn't make you feel any better.
It's kind of like being in love. At first there is euphoria and excitement. Later, there comes a mature love, one that lives through sorrow an pain as well a pleasure and celebration. You're still, as a whole, happier than you were before.
Anyway, happiness isn't everything. But it's nice.

You speak in this manner since you don't know what real happiness and joy means. And you don'y even seem content with yourself. That is because you don't know what turning your troubles over to god can bring you. It is the peace of mind serenity a feeling of happiness that will never go away because you know that there is someone watching over you every day night no matter what you do if you regret he is ready forgive and move on. Jesus is the only truth in life and he sacrificed himself to save us all from our sins. So don't turn your back on him. Atleast don't insult what other people devote if you don't believe in it in order to blame your own pain and misery. First get rid of your misery and thats the best advice I can give you.

Having Jesus or accepting Jesus in your life doesn't always mean life is going to be good and you're always going to be happy but people say they are happy because in each one of us there is a hole, an emptiness that only God can fill so when people fillany accept Jesus into their life, they are fulfilled. It's something that you don't understand until you have accepted Jesus yourself

Who care's?Most Christians here are hypocrite.They believe that Jesus word are still followed by Christians.But if the Bible is still followed,Why do we see that most Christian society is a sex free society?The Christian here believes that Jesus teaching is not lost.If Jesus teaching is not lost,why do most Christian society support the killing of Palestinian's refugee's.I know that Jesus taught love and not to support violence.I know that there are terrorist among the refugee but not all of them are terrorist.If Christian is still taught then why the Christians ignore Jesus teaching and kill nearly 90%of the Native American?why?

yes Jesus was a carpenter and yes he died on a cross as you have probably heard, but that is not the end of the story. three days later he rose from the dead. he was seen by over 500 witnesses in a 40 day period. then he ascended to heaven. so meaning he is alive. there is no way that i can explain the power of God!! just like the wind: how would you explain to someone who has never felt the wind what the wind feels like. you may not be able to see it but you can see what it does. you may not be able to see Jesus but you can see what he is doing. i hope you figure it out and always know that Jesus loves you very much.

its just an advertisment campaign......
not from real experience. the way they say everything is just showbiz.
you have to act. these are generally said to attract attention of other people. they want to be noticed. look at them at other times, he is in sheer turmoil, a total failure in personal life. such people just to reassure themsleves keep saying these things. its a proven thing in psychiatry.
if you kep repeating it every day, definitely there will be changes in you. such people are ignorant. they need psychiatric help. happiness, joy, love are state of mind. god, devil, knowledge of any prophet will not make you happy. confused people act as if they are happy

The weight that is lifted from your spirit is joy unspeakable. Your spirit literally goes from night to day. It is like having a new lease on life.
