1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.
Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

'Ask in order to understand, and do not ask in order to find fault, for surely the ignorant man who wants to learn resembles a man of knowledge, and surely a man of knowledge who wants to be difficult resembles an ignorant man who wants to find fault. '

You wonder why non-christians are getting angry with christians. This is the perfect example. How dare you assume that I do not have fulfilling life and that my life has no meaning.
You do not know me. Yet you think you are so much holier than me that you can say these things about me? People like you are the very reason people are leaving christianity by the droves. Have you noticed how many churches are empty and up for sale? It is because you are driving people away with your obnoxiousness!
Based on your question, I feel very secure that I know more about what my life purpose is than you do and I know without a doubt I am a better human being than you are.
If your god gives brownie points for lame behavior I guess you just got several!

Look, this is supposed to be a site where people ask questions for which they don't already know the answers. A question is defined as an interrogative statement used to test knowledge. So this is not really a question...it's preaching disguised as a question. You've already asked this once before, why ask again? Was it that you didn't get the "answers" you wanted to hear? Well, you won't want to hear this one either. I'm a very successful, happy Jewish woman with a wonderful husband and family and I have no need of Jesus in my life and never have. Please stop this...it's very unbecoming to other Christians when you make them look like bullies.

Whoa whoa whoa! That's quite an assumption. My life is actually really wonderful right now. I got through a really hard spot in my life and without the God of Abraham.
So seriously, you're tripping if you think that non-Christians don't lead fulfilling lives.
Your question shows that your meaning of life does not include respect, because this question is extremely disrespectful and judgemental.
You'd think religion would help people become better people, but if this is what your religion does, NO THANK YOU! I would never want to become like you.

So here's the plan:
1) An unsubstantiated supernatural being loves me and has a plan to live my life by.
2) I am tainted, by your holy text's definition, and can't know the love of your mystical God.
3)There is a loop hole in the mystically related reputed son of you mythical God that will allow me to know his love.
4) If I worship the mystical son, then I can exercise the above loop-hole.
That's just crazy.

My life is so much more fulfilling now that I am no longer a Christian. I have all the answers that Christianity was unable to provide. I experience bliss in my daily contemplations with the divine source. I feel so much love, I cannot take it all in. I can no longer identify with fear of any kind. I am high on life and the purpose of life.
I hope someday you will have what I have.
Peace and LOVE.

Why do Christians asume non Christians don't believe in God?? I have a perfectly fine relationship with God, I just don't believe in religion. You all speak of all God has done for us and his plans for us. Religion was not God made, it is man made for horrid reasons such as power. Give a little time to history and learn for yourself. Someone who does not believe in religion is not a heretic, as religion and God are not the same.

It already does.
Do you have any idea how arrogant and repugnant you sound?
If someone came up to you and said "I am so damn great, and you suck. If you want to be happy and awesome like me you have to believe what I do", wouldn't you want to give them a good kick in the ***?

You know what...crap like this makes me physically ill...just who are YOU to *assume* my life isn't fulfilling or has no meaning??? Some of us don't need a belief in a fake deity to have meaning to our lives...and we don't need pompous people like you shoving it down our throats...YOU are a prime example of someone who is doing that...so everyone take note...this is a prime example of a christian on answers shoving his religion down peoples throats....
