So in other words, become a puppet whose strings are being pulled by some divine puppet-master? What happened to free will, which God in his infinite omniscience gave us? Our choices are our own.
Bible verse is hardly God's word, which version do you prefer?
Sorry, God speaks to each of us in his own way, not through some self aggrandizing wanna-be prophet of a priest...
Be a good Catholic if you choose, that is, of course, your choice. If that brings you peace, so be it. I wish you all joy.
Leave me to pursue my own enlightenment in my own fashion, please. There is no one true way. I wish people would realize that, the world would be so much less turbulent.

Since I haven't had any calls from god lately (or ever) I think it's quite safe to assume that, in the absence of evidence, it doesn't exist.

Not another one of these threads!
Give me a break. This board is turning into nothing but a Jesus freak convention.

In case you hadn't noticed WE ALL DIE whether we do any gods will or not.
Plus I'd rather die than do the christian gods will - where does he get off telling me what I can and can't do? Although I admit its not him that actually does the telling, usually its someone like yourself who thinks they have some right and authority over the rest of us.
See you in hell

You report your version of the news, my friend. My version may be slightly different, yet no less true for all of that. Leave others to find their own truth. I think you'll find that we're all headed towards the same truth, albeit by different roads.
Christ's message, or God's if you prefer, is one that resonates with many, yet other messages resonate just as strongly for others. We would all be better off if we respected others journeys as we would have them respect ours.
As I said earlier, there is no one true way to the truth...

I have been alive for a little over 14,000 years. I Am Immortal. I cannot die, and I have Absolute Power to dictate the destiny of the world, because I Am a Prophet of God, and I wouldn't dictate anything for the world to comply with unless it was The Will of My Almighty Father.

God won't allow you to make an uninformed choice. You know The Truth, and you reject it. This way, when you stand in front of God, you can't say you didn't know. Intentional ignorance is no excuse. What I do, by informing people, helps secure convictions of fools in The Heavenly Court.

If god exists and wants me to do something or not do something, then it can tell me itself.
People who claim to know god's will and force it down everyone else's throats are, frankly, tedious, not to mention deluded.

How's about trying to live life for the sake of living, instead of worshiping death? Xianity is the biggest death cult ever, the title of this thread just supports this position.
