You would also think that it was a bit wasteful to make someone then kill them to save the others you created, this only goes to prove God is crap at his job. instead of keep creating people to put your first mistake right why not just wipe it out and start again, trying not to make the same mistakes. Ah well I suppose hes only human.

It gets confusing out there, but it is really pretty basic. God is Spirit and all is spiritual. How could it be otherwise? Are night dreams real substance? Human thought is blind because of sin. We believe we are something that we are not. Jesus did not die to give us a free ride on his back to heaven. He died to prove His doctrine and to show us how to eradicate sinful thought from the human condition. Each person must do this work for him or herself. You can confess Jesus as your Savior on your dying day, but if you don't have understanding (as the bible tells you to get) then you are no better off for your first death. This is not a game of Monopoly, where you get $200.00 for free every time you go over the Go corner. This process is the only way to prepare for the change, the realization of our perfect spiritual bodies and life. God revealed His perfect plan in order to free us from this present bondage. Some, even now, still can't recognize what the bondage is. It would be intolerance and belief in ignorance that could fuel a religious war, but it would be in vain. I hope this helps a little.

Jimmy, If that assertion have been authentic, Paul and the different apostles had wasted lives educating others of what Jesus Christ performed for them while He paid for his or her sin, became buried, and rose lower back on the third day in accordance to the Scriptures. on the choice, God is very lots a palms-on God. He did not create each and every thing and walk away. learn His chosen human beings how He freed them from their 490 3 hundred and sixty 5 days bondage to Egypt. He became with them the two day and night as a handbook or look after, He saved them fed and gave them water to drink, He even saved their clothing and sandals from wearing out for 40 years of their desolate tract wanderings. He went in the previous them and fought their battles. you would be able to assert that became then how approximately now. Do you not awaken each and each morning, are you flying off into outer area, do you not have nutrition on your table and garments on your lower back, is your wellness sturdy, and so on.? Then thank the sturdy Lord he's the single that provides all issues for you. God is extra drawn to blessing us than he's in cursing us. Now do not take that the incorrect way ... i don't think interior the "prosperity gospel" many preachers are coaching now. Gen. 12:3 i will bless those (plural) who bless you, and that i will curse him (singular) who curses you; And in you each and all of the families of the earth would be blessed.

I'm not right wing, but I am a Christian. I'm a pro-life democrat...we do exist. (talk about stereotyping) Anyway, yes, it was a lot of trouble for Jesus to come to this place of God-haters, to live here, to be rejected by many, to get beaten and crucified. Yeah, it was definitely a lot of trouble. But that's how serious sin is. God can't take sin lightly. It deserves a horrible punishment. But God doesn't want to punish you or anyone. So he did everything he could to avoid it. He took the punishment onto himself. That's how much he loves the world.

Your thoughts are twisted. If we would have never have sinned in the first place, the world would have no sin in it. God created us in his likeness. We had a perfect world. Satan betrayed God and created sin. Satan tempted man and spread the disease of sin. The world was different and corrupt then. It was neccesary for God to send his son as a sacrifice for our sin. Jesus is our redemption. Christians will not and do not believe they will save the world. Christians follow Christ's example. WE spread truth, understanding and love. Each person has been given free will by God to choose what they want their destination to be. If you have made an error and want to be freed from sin, accept Christ. The rapture will come to spare the Christians of Satans wrath. Evil is the disease and Christ is the cure.

I wonder why you are so very angry with the world, with Christians, and with yourself most of all?
You must be having a very silly tantrum over something, since you make me ashamed of your behaviour... and your showing up our race!
Do:
You feel alone and left out perhaps?
You feel resentful at other people's contentment?
Jealous of your siblings maybe?
Hate your step parent even?
Or you mum for saying NO!
You feel lost inside fury at past painful experiences?
You fail to understand the Christian truth and so, consider those who do, to be pretentious liars?
Someone close to you makes you feel unloved?
Or, maybe you just have a judgemental and easily disturbed nature, that, has no time or patience with those who treat others with respect?
To be honest, if you were mine, I'd sit you in a corner facing the wall for half an hour AND slap your leg before I did, and then order you to apologise to everybody here for your rudeness and insulting and behaviour... for going out to bait them in a war on words... because this group of people whom you hate so much, namely Christians, also includes me too, this side of the ocean.
God does not need our defence of Him... He does not need us to take you task about His truth either, since the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, are well able to command your sole attention when they think you're ready and shake you to the core.
People made wars not God... some war mongers abused His name, that's true, saying He is their God, and professing to be His... to ride behind His banner. those people were the furthest from the Father and the Son, further even, than the enemy they bludgeoned in His name!
Thankfully, men like these, were not, are not, never will be, Christians... and all true Christians know and abhor these actions...
From where I sit my friend, I see a trapped and hurting human being hiding behind these angrily worded provocative attacks... someone a lot like those long past war lords, who professed to do it in His name! And I see a coward too... a frightened little coward, who would run a mile from genuine Christian affection!
At least those war lords had a purpose and THEY professed to have a banner...
I doubt your yelling 'YAY' would impress anyone at all, or, come to that, scare anyone away.... since the last time I heard it said... it was shouted by a two year old, taking his first steps!
Anfd who on earth wages war, or retaliates against a toddler... not me, that's for sure:-)
God Bless Sunshine...
Happy New Year
English Christian...
Mum.. Gran... Great Gran...
In time, I guess you will grow out of it:-)

It seems you are angry about this subject. That happens a lot when someone can't believe something or understand the real reason for something. Why not just try a little harder to understand and a little less time trying to argue a point that can only be proven after death. Not everyone that believes is a zelot wanting to wage war on non believers.

Maybe it’s not the Rapture, but just the Wraith…
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

So, it seems you don't really want an answer.
I will bite anyway. God created us for fellowship and he loves us. He looks as us like children. What would you do for your child?
God did go through "a lot of trouble" on our behalf. That makes me love him even more.
The message is this:
Gog created us. He wanted us to love him freely. He did not make us like robots because he wanted us to choose to love him.
Man decided to rebel against God. Our very sin created a seperation from God. This created a need for a "savior" who would show us how we are to live and eventually die on our behalfs. Now we are all free to ride on Jesus' coat tails right into eternity. That is all good news!
I am baffled as to why this would make you angry??

Jesus went through his tribulation to gain admiration from christians and satisfaction from his Father. He earned the right to kingship for 1000 years and the right to be called the saviour of mankind.
