One name for Jesus is truth. Science is doing better on that score than the churches. Search for happiness and truth and a lot of people seem to be getting closer together and closer to the truth. You may not see all this, but it's worth seeing. Science and the Bible together, though, are dynamite, and faster, maybe. More accurate anyway. When science studies truth you can almost say they're studying God and studying energy is studying like studying one aspect or defininiton of spirit. Bunch of definition problems. That's why it says we will have a pure language. Right now you have to translate from my English into your English. English is more like millions of separate languages that are somewhat similar, giving the illusion that we are understanding each other. lol Words have really become a tower of 'babble', but who doesn't know that? Yah gotta start where you are. Did he teach anything you can relate too? Have you read it yourself of just listen to the idiots? Not to hate, it blinds you. Or love, it heals you, makes you feel good. Nothing? Study intuition and see what happens along with Quantum Physics and realize even fantasy is necessary. Fantasy allows you to get away from everything and see how the forest looks instead of being lost in the woods. Imagination, dreams all vital. Anything ring a bell? It almost seems mandatory to learn about, at least ,the ten catgories of knowledge in the library to put anything together, I think. I may make a lot of enemies, but let me say it. Your intuition is pretty much God talking to you. Not the loud voice of the movies, but the still less pushy voice, if you want a direct experience. Anyone with intuition will tell you that it's always right although it doesn't usually seem so at first. If you pursue the thought though, it becomes a revelation, a whole picture. Faith is evidence, Evidence give you faith. Same with anything. These are different times and we need to be following the spirit now, not so much men. it's what we call intuition. Test it out real good. That's scientific. Scientific isn't so much about feelings, feelings come when you find something out.

So far you haven't needed Him enough. One day you will call upon His name. We all need a Savior. I hope it is not too late. You really don't have an excuse not to believe in Him. Look around you at His creation. Chance didn't create this. Your body alone is a magnificent work. King David said his body was fearfully and wonderfully made. The Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God." God is the life blood flowing through your veins.
Yes. It is your fault, because you are without excuse. No. God didn't condemn you from the moment you were born. You are condemning yourself.

You are definitely not condemned, all Christians have lived a life without Christ before we came to the point of deciding to follow him.
Following Christ means to study his teachings and put them into practice, this is a choice not a feeling.
As far as asking forgiveness of sins(the thing that separates us from God), you simply need to acknowledge that you have sinned and are accepting the blood of Christ that covers those sins.
Think about the selfish things that you have done in your life, lying, backbiting, etc... that have hurt other people. This is the basis of sin.
I will be praying for you.

No, it doesn't mean that. Hi, I study in the manuscripts, and I need to let you know this:
I really believe that you and alot of folks who feel the way you do, are not at fault.
The churches do not teach what is in the manuscripts. As wonderful as those things are such as salvation, baptism, love thy neighbor, repentance, etc, they are baby Christian ideas, and it seems that the churches can't get passed them to the deeper message in the Bible.
If you knew what was really in that Book,
I bet you'd pay a whole lot more attention to it, and it sure as hell would not seem humdrum to you, anymore.
Christ is coming back carrying a big rod of iron, and quess where he's gonna visit first?
Those pulpits with those preachers who teach nothing. Who make people want to sleep in church, who make His Word look like nonsense, or contradiction. He plans to take the center beam of their church and crash it right down onto their heads.....
For example, (this is straight from the original manuscripts of the Bible)
do you know that Cain wasn't Adams son?
Do you know who's son he was?
Do you know that we were put here in the flesh after a huge war, and that the Bible tells us what we did during that war?
Do you know that satan has blood offspring on this earth today? Do you know that Angels were having children with human women and thats why Noahs flood happened? Do you understand that the Bible is a record of a spiritual war thats been going on for eons? It tells you who our enemies are, what they've done in the way of covert operations, and what they have planned against us in the future?
There is alot going on behind the scenes, and the Scriptures, if they were read and understood, are supposed to be directing the people of God to perform specific responsibilites in this flesh age, not just sit around saying "Praise the Lord" all day;
And, it was certainly not intended by God that someone take the scriptures and twist them so that people think they are gonna be raptured up in the air somewhere instead of continuing to work in Gods service. What possible good will it do anyone to be floating around somewhere; the real soldiers of God will remain right here, stedfast, unfailingly in the service of the Living God. Its a disgrace that people have no idea that theres even a war going on; this ignorance was not the intention of God, but it is the workings of the enemy to
instill nonsense and lies when something is taught with regard to God, or else to see to it that nothing at all is taught.
Either way, what you get is what you see today: Either people do not know the truth, or else what they are taught as truth is nothing more than nonsense. Great state of affairs we are in.
My advice to you is to be one of those who finds outs those things that aren't being taught to the masses, and then you will see just how exciting these times are; heck, even the prophets themselves wanted to be alive during this generation.....

It depends on who you ask.
If you ask a christian, they'll tell you that you were a sinner from birth, destined for hell and the only way to avoid that whole trip is to accept Jesus as your savior. Whether they present that material nicely or hatefully, that's what they believe. You deserve it and they did too until they got the free ride.
If you ask a non-believer, they're going to tell you No, of course it isn't your fault. You weren't inspired because you either used logic to determine there was no god, or you found another spiritual path that fulfilled your personal needs instead.

no- it is not your fault. It is the devil's fault. All bad comes from him. He is always trying different ways to keep people from God. There is always a way around it. In the bible, it does say "it's by Grace that we are saved through Faith." When we have faith that we are saved, God will give us His grace to save us. Even if you do not fully understand or feel something from those stories, you know it's true. We should all die because of our sins. Instead, Jesus took one, horrifying death for us so we don't have to. That is the most important part of any story in the bible. It shows us how important we are to God and gives us a very easy way to be saved. If we have faith that Jesus died in this way for us, than we are saved. As long as we believe Jesus died in place of us, we will not die. Instead, we will live an everlasting life in Heaven with God.
As for the trinity concept, you have probably heard these before but: it's like an egg; the shell, the white, and the yolk are three parts that make up one thing: it is also like water; it has three stages it can be in solid (ice), liquid, or gas (vapor). It is three different things that are actually one. If you can combine these examples, it sort of makes the picture. The trinity makes up one God. It has three different parts: the creator or father (God), the son (Jesus), and the ghost (Holy Spirit). God created the earth but then sin messed it up, so Jesus died for us to overcome the sin part of earth but we still need help to live for God, so the Holy Spirit put on earth after Jesus died so that we could have something living in us to help us follow God. They all work together, yet they are all one thing like the egg or like water.
I hope this helped

The story about Jesus is for believers, believing that you have sin in your life and having a need to do something about it is for unbelievers who are called to repent of sin and turn to God for forgiveness through the precious blood of the Lamb of God, by believing on him who justifies the ungodly. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6

I feel the bible has some really fascinating stories in it. and it would be nice to be able to believe in the whole of it. but, I also feel the same about sword and sorcery books too. it would be cool to live in either kind of world! with that said I am going to make the kids some breakfast and go work on the car. lol

Yup your a condemned man in the eyes of ?
Oh yeah it makes absolutely no diffrence whatsoever but it does show tou are sane and not tempted by people telling you a story and saying this is how it happened believe it or something that doesnt exist will send your soul to another place that doesnt exist. And through all that you can safely remain sane.

No I dont think you were condemned at birth. You need to open your heart to God. Be still and let go and let God come into your life. God knew you before you were in the womb. Have you ever read the bible? Try reading the Gospel of John
