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

Thank you for sharing those inspiring passages. However, I am not a bitter person. I feel much love and joy in my life and give thanks daily for the abundance.

Not one of your passages are from the prayers of Pslams... The LORD gave us free will, why do you think it takes so many people so long to get it? We're here to perfect ourselves, some will take longer than others... but each of us does have a plan... a path that we are destined to take! If you can change one person's mind, then I congratulate you! This must have been your destiny to do so. But please wake up and realize that you alone cannot change the world. Jesus knows this... If it were not so, then you wouldn't have an agruement!

Yes. I stopped being bitter the day I stopped being a Christian. Now I know who God is I have no need to be bitter.

I have no bitterness toward anyone except maybe the people who tell me I'm going to drown in lakes of fire forever and even then, I'm not bitter, just very disheartened. Jewish people have no need of bitterness; we would not have survived this long with bitterness in our hearts.

That would be great if I was a bitter person. I wonder if all the bitter christians I know are aware of this.. if so, why don't they get healed?
Ah well. Regardless, I have no need of healing from your megalomaniacal god. I'd rather be grateful to my goddess instead for my freedom and peace. Thanks anyway.

What makes you think I have any bitterness?
And, if I did, what makes you think I need to be healed of this?
I think you are presumptous to assume this. I think your offer is unsubstantiated. You provide no evidence to support your preaching.
This is not a valid question, this is preaching at its worst.

This is going to be a very liquid holiday.
God doesn't exist. Step back and see how many gods man has created in the past 10,000 years. Do you really think you're so special that yours is the 'correct' one?

My life is full enough thank you. When I feel down or empty or lacking, I play some music or wander a museum or watch a great film. Sorry but I just don't have the requisite hard-on for Christ to join your little army. Thanks for thinking of us first, though.

Then why doesn't she just go ahead and do it? Silly god must be confused - is she looking for the right bible passage?
Wouldn't it be better is she just healed all amputees?
