He is lovingly and meekly allowing peope he died for to remove him, from their lives, from the classroom, from the government. And did you realize as you destroy him and take his name in vain and make fun of him.....he still really does love you? and he will prove it to you as well? amazing, don't you think?

God's unconditional love is stronger than that of the unconditional love a mother has for her child. God's love is the most beautiful thing!
Jesus's love for us all is truly amazing and the BEST! He was willing to suffer the most painful death for us so we can be free from the slavery of sin, and repent, and turn ours lives to God. He did not die for people to keep sinning, and why should He? He died to give us a chance to come to know God and by faith believe in Him, and follow His ways.
God is there for us and does not forsaken us; but people forsaken Him. And if anyone wonders where God is at during tough times, He's there; people just got to know how to listen to Him, be intuitive to what He's trying to tell us, and let HIM lead the way instead of doing things our way. He knows what's best for us, even more so than we know ourselves.
God's love is so beautiful! Why can't more and more people be willing to share that unconditional love with others, even our enemies? We don't always have to agree with how a person carries themselves! But we should love them because God loves them first. We should be bold about our beliefs, even if it means getting ridiculed and outcasted and persecuted, because Jesus took persecution, being outcasted, and ridiculed in order to be our Savior, and He took those bad things happening to Him first! Jesus IS our Good News, our BEST NEWS! He's our hero, our best friend, our prince of peace. What better friend can we have than Jesus? No one! No one will save and help us the way He will! We just got to be open and let God our Father have His way with us!
Continue to go in peace, and I love you, Sister-In-Christ! :-)

Why is taking God out of the classroom "destroying" him? Open prayer in a public school classroom, or teaching the Bible as fact in a public school, is a blatant and rude slap in the face to every student in the room who might not be a Christian. It's not a difficult concept; if the majority of this country were Muslims, and Christians in public school were made to tolerate readings of the Quran, they'd probably be pretty uncomfortable. And you know what? They'd have a right to be. And I'd be supporting the Christians in that argument, too, because Quran readings would be just as inappropriate. It's just so disrespectful to force someone to sit through a religious ceremony or activity that they don't want to participate in. You might think the Bible is provably true, but not everyone feels that way, and by "putting God in the classroom" you disregard the feelings of every kid in the room who might be of a different faith, or no faith at all, and that's not right.

True, however, consider this:
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. But if a man be just . . . he shall surely live, saith the Lord God" (Ezekiel 18:4,5,9).
What an awesome statement! The eternal Creator of all mankind asserting His ownership over each man's soul to do with it what He deems proper.
What is the worth of one eternal soul created in the image of God? The Creator is the owner of the cattle on a thousand hills. Indeed, the earth and all the galaxies are His, but there is something about a soul that is of far greater worth. A soul can choose, can worship its Maker, and can reflect the very nature of God. Nothing else in all creation has these powers. Yet He owns all souls. He has an unquestionable right to them, and they will never be taken away, for He has created them. Furthermore, their numbers are growing for He has given His subjects the command and power to reproduce. At each conception He supplies a newly created, eternal soul. Truly, His wealth is great!
How should we respond to His ownership? By obedience! By choosing to act according to His will as revealed in reason, our conscience, and above all, in His written Word, we ascribe to Him the glory due Him. We must jealously guard our affections, reserving the adulation which He deserves for Him alone. We must lovingly care for His creation, including the many fellow souls whom He brings across our paths.
Above all, we must avail ourselves of His gracious provision of mercy and forgiveness through the redemptive work of His Son, Jesus Christ. At that point, He performs another creative act, for "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature |or creation|: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (II Corinthians 5:17).

His son does, though!.
(Matthew 28:18-20) And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19Â Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20Â teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
WHO gave Jesus AUTHORITY?
It has to be his father in heaven,. Jehovah God.

I thought that your god believe in him and only him, to the exclusion of other ways and other spiritual paths, such as Witchcraft and paganism.
so, if you are telling me the truth that your god demands nothing, then according to you, I, an agnostic pagan Witch, will get into heaven. Is that right?
Cool, I guess. Can I opt out, unless there will be other pagans there too?

Ye do err. Both Law and Grace demand perfection.
Lukewarm doesn't cut it with Law God in Revelation.
When asking Grace for wisdom it's nothing wavering.
It's notably the condition of the Abrahamic covenant:
Walk before me and be thou perfect: Genesis 17:1.
Perfect is also demanded in the New Testament:
Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is: Mt 5:48.
The difference between the Law and His Grace is:
- Law demands perfection, but can't deliver it: Heb 10
- Grace makes you perfect, stablished, settled: 1Pet5
- Let them vs them have their end
- Let us go on unto perfection ...
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Demanding? No, of coarse not! The Christian God demands nothing! Just unquestioning loyalty and devotion, or He'll send you to be burned for all time in the flaming pits of Hell....no big deal. I mean, it's not like He's using that to coerce people or anything....
