what happened to salvation, Jesus, and what about having to submit to a male pastor and organization, giving money and time, and putting aside free will and choice?

They've had 1700 years to get it to work. Seen any evidence of it?

God gave us free will so if you CHOOSE to out your to the side that's your free will as far as salvation its there it will be here Romans 10:9 and 10 Jesus loves us so much he even forgives us for our transgressions (that's sin that you know is sin but you do it anyway) Idont remember reading in the bible that i had to summit to a male pastor God ordains male and female he put both of us on earth and he's not prejudice ask God to open your ears and heart so that he speaks to you and you would know that it is him

We don't put free will aside, actually we let you choose what you want, that is why we don't strap bombs on our vests in order to convert others, we just give you choices, free will is there, you could come and go as you please, its actually about PEOPLE being happy, if you are happy doing good then its heaven for you, BUT if you like sinning, Hell is the perfect place for you

I was a Christian for 14 years of my life... now I'm 48 and made the choice to look out for the things of God and God alone... it doesn't matter as God's Child which doctrine you have thrust apon you... all that matters is that you have your own spirituality and an unshakeable connection to your creator.... Be caring of all that God has made animate and inanimate.... mankind says live and let live, I say love and be loved!

You probably are not aware that the peace and happiness comes through trusting Jesus and this leads to our salvation.
And you have never seen a woman pastor? You must be a shut in, or live in a cave.

Not to me, no. And not to a great many other people, apparently. What's more, it can hardly be considered a "secret" when they shout it from billboards all over the country, anywhere billboards are still allowed. They are all over mass media, so how can it be a secret?

I am very happy and have a loving family and lots of friends .
Christianity never made me this way because I am an ATHEIST.

To obey a book is not happiness, especially when it keeps changing.

I have a wonderful life, I'm not rich in money but I am in life and I'm a Pagan.
