sour, First let me say I pray that the Lord God will open your heart to receive the truth that His free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to find true happiness. Hear what the Lord God has told mankind through His word. Romans 3:23 (NASB) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and payment for our sins is death Romans 6:23 (NASB) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So we all have sinned. Christians and none Christians alike. And there is a price to be paid for that sin. Romans 5:8 (NASB) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Note, it was not after we somehow found a way to be good enough that He demonstrated His love for us and died on the cross to pay the price for our sins. It was when we were at our worst that He did so! The most important thing to note here is that He (Christ) died for us! Romans 10:9-10 (NASB) 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Romans 5:1 (NASB) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Here young man in Romans 10:9-10 and Romans 5:1 is true happiness! I would like to ask you a question. You admit you do not believe in God. You admit you do not have a bible and know nothing of God’s word. Yet you are willing at a young age to write an essay for a friend to show them your “light”. My question is this. If you have no bible and know nothing about it and do not believe in God (according to your own words), how is it you have set yourself up to improve on God’s word which you know nothing about? How is it you (the created) can improve on the Creator which you know nothing about? I say this out of love and my prayer is you can see and understand this. Your own words clearly show that you have no light as you say. You contradict yourself with your own words. It appears you are very much in the dark because you fail to even see your own “light”. Considering your intentions is to help a friend I would encourage you to stop and think about how bad you are misleading them. If you care for them at all it’s best you simply tell them you don’t have a clue about God or his word but you would love to study with them to understand it by reading His word and not making up your own gospel.

So, you have this whole thing figured out then? Interesting as I have known a few people in my life that are, well they are just smarter then most people. Of course most of them have been much older then me so they have had much more time to learn then I. However, I have known a couple that are much younger then myself and well they just seemed to have a much deeper insight and understanding of things then most people. You know the kind I’m talking about? How long have you been studying these mathematic scientific and random studies? At what age did you first come to understand them to prove God did not exist? Are you one of those younger people that I’m talking about as having a deeper understanding then most of us common folks? Steve |

Hello sour, It's not that people are attacking you, but rather your incoherent attempt to rationalize the irrational, seriously. If and when you do pick up a bible I recommend reading Romans chapter 1 verses 18-32. It describes your path perfectly I'm affraid. I have known several people who have chosen not to open and read the bible. A few of them have been honest enought to acknowledge that they will not because they know something in their life is sinful and wrong such as, say......homosexuality??? You gave your reason for regisering on the forum but might I suggest that there was and is something much bigger behind it. Perhaps, instead of "turning other's backs on God", the empty darkness that you define as "happiness" may have light exploded into it?? With that said, let me suggest to you that philosophical daydreaming, no matter how incoherently it is presented, is not what Lockman provides this Forum for. Please read the Terms of Use and About the Forum sections and adhere to those terms that you agreed to when registering. We will all appreciate and respect you for that. Sincerely, Jeff |
