"****** If you find truth then why keep looking? Life is short to keep looking for answers, its time to find truth.'
So answers can`t be truth? We can seek whatever answers we want till the day we leave this life, it`s what we`re here for, to learn and grow. Not to
be lead around by narrow minded people who believe all the answers are in a book.
"******Question? How many people have lived since the dawn of time? Billions, trillions? and not one has found God within himself."
And you know all these people didn`t because? Oh, that`s right, you have ALL the answers, don`t you? Let`s see, it was the book that told you this,
right?
"I would wager not one has created a universe yet. Its hard to look for water in the bucket when you have a hole in the bottom. one must find the
hole. Have it ever dawned on you that many millions have found peace, found God and are saved by him. They have.....its called Jesus Christ."
And they are suppose to create a universe for what reason? You keep saying that like a bad recording that`s in a loop. Sure, many have found God
within. There are even many on this board who have, just ask.
"*****You have a soul. Satan is just influencial and thats all. You are more powerful than him by far."
Yes, we do have a soul, that came from the creator, not Adam as you think or believe.
"Don`t question anything the book says, if you do, you will go to hell."
*****Who have you been talking too.'
You, that`s your train of thought, that`s how you think and believe. Remember, it`s all in the book.
"God wants us to question and seek. You won't go to Hell for that. Whoever told you that is all wet."
Want a towel?
"*****Now that is pretty much true. So, you are saying we can make up our own religion and God will honor it?'
God or the creator allows us to worship in any way we want. Free will, remember?
"So, how about us believing in Hindu and Mormonism and we can live over and over and also inherit our own planet."
Sure, we can believe in him any way we want, i`m not sure about the planet, just being with the creator is enough, thanks anyway.
"This is essentially what you are saying. Who would want to be a christian when we can own a planet right?"
No, that`s what your reading into what I`m saying. Not once did I say inherit a planet, did I? Stop adding words that I didn`t say.
"*****You really want that planet or reincarnation?"
Again with the planet thing. Is there a reason you keep saying that? Are you stuck in that thought or something?
"Or, will he understand your own version and honor it?"
Now what kind of God WOULDN`T understand?
"*****We didn't come from God."
Oh? You, and those who think like you may not have, but the rest of us sure did.
'We came from Adam who sinned.'
Now, are you saying Adam created our souls? If you are, you are very out of touch with reality in a big way.
"We are human but God is sprit but became flesh in Jesus"
Just as Jesus was God incarnate, so are we. It was one of the many things Jesus taught.
"He is within us if we accept his son Jesus"
God is within us no matter what.
"******The book came from God and his love for us that we would know what he is all about. God is the word, and the word became flesh."
The book was written by men, just as all books have been from the start.
