The only way to have a relationship with God is through his son Jesus Christ. Not by imitating how he lived, but rather by having a change of mind about who he is and believing he rose from the dead. Once you have accepted him into your heart God will send the Holy Spirit to reside in you. Only once you have become born again can you have a relationship with God.

Then how is it that you do not occur to us as more loving and understanding than just about everyone else? Perhaps your doctrine is getting in the way of the actual spirit of God? Which is better, to love your neighbor, or convert him based on a set formula of salvation?

Very sad indeed Jesus as the other side of the gate of hell, doesn't give a person much room to work with, to respond to his love with love in kind..!

Yeah, you can really tell a person by their words and actions. Jesus was and always will be my man and the one I follow. I would hope I could recognize him in every way and sadly some of us wouldnt.
