He's My Father, and I love Him with all my heart.
I love His Son, who ransomed my soul at the cost of His own blood.
I love His Holy Spirit, who lives in me and makes the Father and the Son manifest to me.
I love His people, I love His promises, I love His ways, I love His wisdom, I love His word, I love His works, I love the peace, love, joy, goodness kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, patience and self-control He manifests in my life.
Thanks for reminding me to think about Him!
He is altogether lovely, once you get to know Him!

Jesus is the way! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die - a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

A man made fabrication. Because we take such pride in ourselves, we come to believe that there is only one god and see him in our own image. Not to mention of course, that that one god is of course seen as a MALE! And the long history of nonsense over "god told me to battle for this" or "i represent god" is sad.
To have so many religions believe for longer period of time that there was a male and female god and goddess makes so much more sense because there are both sexes in the world and it's hard to believe that all could be controlled and watched over by one being. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, i once was christen myself, but found more sense, answers, and a feel of someone listening when turning to Wicca, in which the overall view is that we shall do what we wish, so long as it harm none.

He is all-knowing and exists outside of space and time. He sent his son, Jesus, to save humanity from evil. In the Old Testament, he used the Law to show the people what he considered sin, and Jesus, in the New Testament, became the fulfillment of that Law and created the New Covenant with people, acting as an ultimate sacrifice for sin. God will judge humanity after Jesus' second coming and those who have believed and accepted Jesus' sacrifice for us will spend eternity in heaven (a second Garden of Eden, perhaps? Except this time we will eat of the Tree of Life mentioned in Genesis?). However, for those who did not accept and believe, they will be destroyed as it says in Revelations.

It's difficult to have an opinion about something that doesn't exist.
However, from reading the bible and some of the apocrypha, I'd have to say that he seems to be vindictive, bloodthirsty, narrow minded and... well... evil.
Jesus seems OK although his early followers leave a lot to be desired.

The Christian God is loving. It's the Jewish God of the Old Testiment who is a jerk.
