BELIEVE - Heb. 3:19 talks about "belief." Many of the people of Israel did believe in the God of Israel, who was their belief!
The Israelites of Exodus were PROMISED land of BLESSING, PRODUCTIVITY and VICTORY! The Chosen People of God need to learn how to thrive in this Wilderness! That's where we are right now! However, we WILL get the PROMISED LAND! The Cross of Jesus brought us the VICTORY, and MOST ASSUREDLY! Don't let anyone tell you differently. Jesus loves ALL WHO WILL COME TO HIM.
The time is short, though, so don't put it off too long because you might be too late. His Second Coming is right around the corner. Trust in the God of Israel's son, Jesus. God loves you so much that He sent His Son, the "Lamb," as his sacrifice for YOU. God did this because He wanted US to see the assured VICTORY that anyone who believes in His Son will have ETERNAL LIFE!!!! Please don't pass His LOVE up. He loves ALL WHO WILL COME! Won't you come to Him?

I truly and deeply try. Every day I ask myself the same question. Why can't I just give myself up to God? I try forcing myself to believe in Him, I make up stories and beliefs that would lead me to Him, but I just can't get the remaining feeling of connection with God. I repent my sins, but every time I do, it doesn't feel authentic. My question to you, is what do I need to do, to truly and deeply know and be humiliated for God? I really want to feel His prescence in my life, but I just can't get more than the feeling of the holly spirit. I do feel Him in my soul and heart, But i can never seem to get past the prescence. How do I truly "feel" Gods love for me?

Well, I'm Jewish so I'd have to say no. What's with the caps anyway? Do you actually believe you are making your point more persuasively by writing in capital letters? It just seems like you are ranting to me. How about this? You can be everlastingly happy believing in Jesus and I can be everlastingly happy not believing. I know you think that's not possible, but you aren't the only one in the world and some people do find it possible. This kind of thing will get you nowhere.

I have, and I'm working on living it! I know that in the Bible it says that, "For all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God." But I also understand that that is not to be taken advantage of, as in, "Oh, well, God knows I'm going to sin, so I might as well do whatever I please since I have 'fire insurance'." It is much more diffcult than I thought it would be, but I can see the difference in my daughter and the people i hang out with. I have also learned the hard way who my real friends are.

Jesus is in my life in that I respect the things he did for people and how he lived. But I don't believe he was the son of God anymore than I am a daughter of God.

i have looked high and low for jesus. i have done a 4 year course in theology at a top university in the uk and studied the texts, debated the ethics, looked at all sides of the philosophy and prayed in forums for jesus to come into my life and show me the way and his everlasting life.
after all this time and effort i have finally decided that science has far more answers than religion and that there is no more reason for believeing in christ than there is for believeing in ra, the egyptian sun god, or thor, norse god of thunder. afterall, at the time these gods were popular, people just like you asked 'won't you let thor into your life?'
the bible did change my life. it made me an agnostic.

No, I will NEVER bow down to your alien god. I do not want any forgiveness for what I was and am. I won't be "saved" and for eternal life I do not give a damn.

No way. I've chosen the path of reason over immersion in theological dogma. There's no turning back.

Unfortunately I am an intelligent human being and I cannot find any facts that support your position.
