The bible says the devil comes to steal kill and destroy, some people reading this may think of God as evil but I assure you he is not. Psalm 91 tells us there is nothing but goodness in him. In romans 9 it says

"All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people."[14]

Accept him, run in to his arms, do not be one who he holds his arms out too and walks away
he loves you

2.
John 1
The Eternal Word
Testimony of John the Baptist
(1) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend[1] it.

Here we are told that nothing was made without the word (Jesus). We are told that in the word there is life and that life is the light of men.

Now lets go to Genisis

6Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 7Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

You may notice that God speaks and it happens, theres not a time in between genisis of him speaking andit happening. he speaks and it happens. That is how powerfull the word is.

12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask[3] anything in My name, I will do it.


Jesus says to those who love him you may ask for anything in my name and I will do it so that the work of the Son may bring Glory to the Father. It says in Isaiah 53 he was whipped and we are healed, its Truth! Jesus didnt just take our sins on the cross but also our infirmitys (diseases). If you are a son of God and reading this then believe in the promises Jesus says. It is always the will of the Son to bring Glory to the Father, to heal, to set free. False teaching is spread saying that God gives disease or troubles to Christians to strengthen them, that is not true. The father will not give you a snake if you ask for a fish, it says that in matthew. Ask the holy spirit to reveal scripture to you dont just read them. the past few weeks i have been recievng teaching on the name of jesus and its power, the power of the word and the poqwer of our words. Use the name of jesus. The bible says that every kneee will bow t the name of Jesus, that includes disease.

Thank you for posting this. It was absolutely beautiful and well worth the time it took to read. I would encourage everyone to read �Gods Letter to You�, It really shows that you aren�t alone and that his love for you is like no other.

Dear Children (and believe us, that's all of you), We consider ourselves pretty patient folks. For instance, look at the Grand Canyon. It took millions of years to get it right
We've been patient through your fashions, civilizations, wars and schemes.
We want to let you know about some of the things that are starting to tick Us off.
First of all, your religious rivalries are driving Us up a wall. Enough already! Let's get one thing straight: These are YOUR religions, not Ours. We're beyond them all. Every one of your religions claims there is only one of Us (which by the way, is absolutely true). And each claims its scriptures were written personally by us, and that all the other scriptures are man-made. How do We even begin to put a stop to such complicated nonsense?
Okay, listen up now. We're your Father AND Mother, and We don't play favorites among Our children.
Also, We hate to break it to you, but We don't write. Our longhand is awful, and We've always been more of "doers" anyway. So, ALL of your books, including those Bibles, were written by men and women. They were inspired, remarkable people, but they also made mistakes here and there. We made sure of that so that you would never trust a written word more than your own living heart.
You see, one human being to Us, even a bum on the street, is worth more than all the Holy Books in the world. That's just the kind of folks we are. Our spirit is not a historical thing. It's alive right here, right now, as fresh as your next breath.
.Holy books and religious rites are sacred and powerful, but not more so than the least of you. They were only meant to steer you in the right direction, not to keep you arguing with each other, and certainly not to keep you from trusting your own personal connection with Us.
Which brings Us to Our next point about your nonsense; you act like We need you and your religions to stick up for Us or "win souls" for Our sake. Please, don't do Us any favors. We can stand quite well on our own, thank you. We don't need you to defend Us, and We don't need constant credit. We just want you to be good to each other.
The thing is, We want you to stop thinking of religion as some sort of loyalty pledge to Us.
The true purpose of your religion is so that YOU can become more aware of Us, not the other way around. Believe Us, We know you already. We know what's in each of your hearts, and We love you with no strings attached.
Lighten up and enjoy Us. That's what religion is best for. What you seem to forget is how mysterious We are.
You look at the petty differences in your Scriptures and say, "Well, if THIS is the truth, then THAT can't be!" But instead of trying to figure out Our Paradoxes and Unfathomable Nature, which by the way, you NEVER will, why not open your hearts to the simple common threads in all religions.
You know what We're talking about. Love and respect everyone. Be kind, even when life is scary or confusing. Take courage and be of good cheer, for We are always with you. Learn how to be quiet, so you can hear Our still, small voice. (We don't like to shout).
Leave the world a better place by living your life with dignity and gracefulness, for you are Our Own Children. Hold back nothing from life, for the parts of you that can die surely will, and the parts that can't, won't.
Simple stuff. Why do you keep making it so complicated? It's like you're always looking for an excuse to be upset. And We're very tired of being your main excuse. Do you think We care whether you call Us: Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Diana, Wakantonka, Brahma, Cerridwen, Father, Mother, God, Goddess or even the Void of Nirvana? Do you think We care which of Our special children you feel closest to, Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Krishna, Gerald, Mohammed or any of the others? You can call Us and Our Special Ones any name you choose, if only you would go about Our business of loving one another as We love you. How can you keep neglecting something so simple?
We're not telling you to abandon your religions. Enjoy your religions, honor them, and learn from them, just as you should enjoy, honor, and learn from your parents.
Know that Our Special Children, the ones that your religions revolve around, all live in the same place, (Our heart), and they get along perfectly, We assure you.
The clergy must stop creating a myth of sibling rivalry where there is none. Our blessed children of Earth, the world has grown too small for your pervasive religious bigotries and confusion. The whole planet is connected by air travel, satellite dishes, telephones, fax machines, rock concerts, diseases, and mutual needs and concerns.
Get with the program! If you really want to help, then commit yourselves to figuring out how to feed your hungry, clothe your naked, protect your abused, and shelter your poor. And just as importantly, make your own everyday life a shining example of kindness and good humor. We've given you all the resources you need, if only you abandon your fear of each other and begin living, loving and laughing together.
We're not really ticked off. We just wanted to grab your attention because We hate to see you suffer.
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust,
Us

Adrianay

Great post. I have not read the second post, but these are my thoughts on the first post/letter.

That is the BEST post I have read on ATS, and better and more important than anything I have posted

Thank you Adrianay for posting it

great letter, you must spend some time on this, very nice job

Thats awesome and so the truth, thanks for that

First off, this belongs on BTS, seccondly eh, lots of other religions say simmilar things.

Read the Ramayana, Wiccan Reed, Vedas, Q'uran, or any of the other great religious texts and "believe"

Well, any religion would probably tout their greatness (with the exception of Wicca, Zen and Raelianism in my experence) but show me the dogma and ideology not just how much your god claims to love me.

Also many of the books you mentioned were not said to be written by god, or by others through god. The Psalms were written by humans in response to god and praying. The new testament has been so polluted by the Church that the original ideas may not be totally intact. Revelation is still a very disputed book, and may have been written by a madman.

Personally, I believe much of the old testament is just Hebrew Mythology, and should be read as fables, not as fact.

I really do not feel any great desire to become Christian based upon what I read here, I think the teachings of Christ and the general message of self betterment is more powerful than this.

Blessed Be
~Astral

You have my vote for month great post.
