What is the chapter and verse you got this from? Without a point of reference I cannot comment on this.

No. distinctive the Founding Fathers have been Deists, no longer Christians. Deists have self assurance that a greater power created the universe, then stepped away. In different words, there are no longer any regulations exceeded out by employing the perfect being, and there is no Bible. Deism is a some distance cry from Christianity. the recent worldwide replaced into all approximately non secular freedom, which means there's no official faith. era.

Very good question:
Isaiah 57:16-17
16 I will not accuse forever,
nor will I always be angry,
for then the spirit of man would grow faint before me—
the breath of man that I have created.
17 I was enraged by his sinful greed;
I punished him, and hid my face in anger,
yet he kept on in his willful ways.
All that it is saying is eventually we will be back in a sinless world i.e. when satan is thrown out. God will always be with us, but if he were to stay mad at us and continue to punish us for adam and eve's sin we would eventually all turn away, look at how people are turning away now for the same reason, (WHY DOES GOD ALLOW THINGS TO HAPPEN) that is the main reason people turn way. Now if you would like to say this is not a loving God then compare God to a Father who loves his son, but his Son diliberatly disobeys him. What is the Father to do, but to punish him, however even though the son is being punished the father still loves him.

Well... Man is made of 3 parts: body, soul and spirit. The spirit is a "breath," I'm guessing the "my" here is the fact that God gives the spirit to man.
I just checked it against the Hebrew version (original). There is no "My" there, only "ruach," i.e. spirit, breath.
But there is a limit. We will live to see God's limit to patience, I believe. Unfortunately for the mockers.

Not a limit, but a division. That quote is from the story of Naoh of course, and shows the difference God shows to the righteous than to the wicked. It is the same today, there is no limit to the love that God shows on those who seek HIm, but the end is quickly coming for those who do will not accept His redemption.

Yes. Right now we are living in a time when people still have the opportunity to repent of their sins and turn to Jesus as their savior. There is a time coming when that will no longer be an option; those who are wicked and refuse to turn to God will be thrown into the lake of fire. Those who have repented and turn to Jesus will live forever with Him in his kingdom. At that point in time, the spirit of God will have done "striving" with man....and the dye will be cast for each person, where they will spend eternity.

Right now the Holy Sririt dwell on the earth inside of man and the day will come when that will end. God's love and forgiveness will never end but someday the earth will.

Not a limit. A time for an end of the program.

No it means As the man is Unholy and sinfull he cannot stay with man when he sins. But it was said in the old testment. Today God spirit dwell with men who is walking according to his laws and commandments.

yes, its happened more than once, when god rests from his strife with mankind, there is still the holy spirit watching things, one can tell when god is not present, theres no mediator between man and god, when a prophet dies he is replaced by anouther, when christ came there was no official prophet, there dad been a lull, after christ died on the cross it was the death of a prophet, and he was not replaced, only the appostles carried the work on eventualy dying off, thats when religeous started messing with the rules and creating lots of differing religeons, when god is present, there is a prophet, but we was witout for hundreds of years. there has only been a prophet on earth for
about120plus years.
