1 | Does God ever change his mind? | 2 Kin 20:6 | lovly2me1 | 84311 | ||
oh sorry Hank, I thought you had read the first answer. "They", being Malachi 3:6 and many others too. | ||||||
2 | Does God ever change his mind? | 2 Kin 20:6 | lovly2me1 | 84325 | ||
Oh sorry, does repent mean: to change? I don't know, it just doesnt look right to me. Now let's see... Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Exd 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Now, if repent means to change, is this not contradictory? But, really there is so much in the scriptures that is contradictory, for instance, christians like to say dont judge, yet what does the Bible do but judge. Everything in it judges not only the sinner, but the Christian as well. How can you not judge people when you're always being judged? Now, I thought I had made the contradiction thing plain in the first place, if you dont see those two scriptures as contradictory (Mal 3:6 and Exd.32:14) well, maybe its just me. As for the bible being the Word of God, I'd have to say that there probably is no God and the Bible is a crock. But thats just my opinion.And Hank if the Bible were not so confusing and contradictory, Christians would not be so confused and you wouldnt need this FORUM. note: I think I used a different scrip in my last note, the one you questioned, but still, it is God repenting again. |

Hank, Studying is how you find out whether something is true or not. You study and then you decide. What I found is after 22 years of thinking I knew God, that he either doesnt exist or he's just very cruel. And judging from the amount of things that Christians dont know, Id say, He probably just doesnt exist. |

Bravo. You sound foolish to me, just like I must have sounded to other people when I used to tell them the same thing. Prove there's a God, or just say you believe there is one. Stop trying to act like you just KNOW what you are talking about. If I were to ask you what has God done for you, there is nothing more you could probably say except like all the rest of the Christians is "He woke me up this morning". Well, he woke up Saddam Husein too. He woke up Charles Manson and George Bush too. You can believe what ever you want, its your life. |

No Hank, I dont know why. Can you tell me? Is it because a Christian's faith is only hanging by a bare thread and for someone to tell you that they have been a Christian for 22 years and has just now, today actually, decided that based on what I seen of God and the things that have happened in my life, and looking at how confused Christians are, that I no longer believe? If someone had come to me with this, I would have just prayed for them, knowing they were just confused and needed help. Nothing like this could ever have broken my faith, but then thats just me. | ||||||

You know, I have been reading through this forum and have not as yet determined what would cause this particular thread to be restircted. Is it maybe because, what I have been saying is true? I was determined not to respond anymore, but received another response in my Email today. I want to say to you, that in my readings of this forum, and in response to your most recent response, you people are total hypocrites. Now you can go ahead and delete this! Have you ever seen people of other religions that you consider false, just following blindly. Well you people are doing the same thing. Dont you just wish those people would really look at what they are believing in and wake up. The fact that you have restricted this post lets me know that you know what you are believing is a total crock. You mean to tell me that you need to protect the faith of grown people, people that are "filled with the spirit". Now, to your response Parable, "I have trouble accepting your interpretation that scripture contradicts itself." The problem here is, why do we have to accept, interpret, figure out, ask questions, debate, share ideas etc. on something so important? Why do you have to "have ears" to hear what the spirit is saying? Why could Jesus never answer a simple question with a simple answer? Why does it all have to be so confusing? Why? Because Satan is the author of confusion. That is my opinion. I am so sorry, but I was doing fine until everybody convinced me that I have to go back to church. I stayed out of church because it was confusing me. When I went back these last couple of weeks I became confused again and lost faith. I have never seen anything more confused than a Christian. You should not be having trouble excepting my interpretation, if you knew what you were talking about (no offence intended) you would just say, "that is not true". So, all in all maybe Satan is the author of Christianity. |

You said: 6. Regarding Satan, you seem to agree with scripture. But, Satan is not the author of Christianity. Jesus explained why this makes no sense when he said "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand." -- Mat 12:25 Think I'll become a Muslim, they're still standing too. As for my church, I dont really have one. That particular Sunday, I went to two different churches. I stopped going a long time ago because of all the confusion that I see, and believe me I've been to many. As for the rest of what you've said, you'd make a good Jehova's Witness. I'm tired of this. I seek answers right now from God and from Him alone. This is my last response and I'm sure you'll take full advantage of it, needing to get in the last word. They really should just delete this whole thread. |

Brian, This was very nice of you. Dont have much time right now, but just wanted you to know that there is not one of you on here, that has sought God more than me. That has tried harder to please him, more than me. Why do you think I'm so down? I have gotten no revelations, no answers to prayer. The hell just goes on and on and continues to accumulate. If you were in my shoes, you would be feeling the same way. Maybe whats needed is for God to do some of the things he says he can do. Why keep blaming ourselves? If he never comes through for you, what would or could you possibly think. I dont know about the rest of you but Im only human and if the God I beleive in makes all kinds of promises that I never see kept, and claims he has a love that I have never seen, what am I to believe. If the situations, should ever change, I will be the first to let you know. |

Considered it ended, until such times as Christians can admit they dont have all the answers. Had you all not been so cocky, you might have referred me to the book of Job. Job 13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will]. |

10 | Why did Job love God? | Job | lovly2me1 | 73451 | ||
Thank you very much Thomas, for not ridiculing me for asking this question and for your answer as well. It is an important issue to me. I now realize that I do not love God for his majesty. I dont know why or how to. I guess because I originally came to him because I needed help. I didn't get it, and it has been 22 years now. In all that time, I have seen very little of God. Sometimes, I'm not even sure that he exist. | ||||||

graceful, I cannot discribe to you how I'm feeling right now, about your response, I really cant. Just know that I am so grateful to you. I feel as though there is a rock around my heart that God is chipping away at. I am crying even as I type. I dont know why, and this is the second time this has happened to me this week. I am sad because I dont understand WHY I feel that way about God,and sad because I DO. Bless you for thinking of me. Yes, I gave my life to the Lord 22 years ago, next month. It has been pure hell, but I have held on, and when I couldn't, God held on to me. I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, that same month, the month of my 27 birthday. The Lord sent someone the day of my 27 birthday to witness to me. I have felt love for him at various times, but mostly, I felt he hated me, so at times, I have hated him, because I was totally confused. I hope this is the beginning of a healing for me. Bless YOU! |

I truly praise God for this website. I sit here in awe, reading some of the responses to questions, and think, how amazing, the things some people know. I have been caused to do so much thinking since Ive been comming here (2 weeks now). According to the things Ive read here, I dont even know if I'm really saved anymore, but at least I'm less confused. | ||||||

Ed, You see what I'm saying? Your response was so quick and I was notified of it, and I do understand what you are telling me. I know my scriptures pretty well and am prayerful about the things I read here and I pretty much know who to listen to, but still...this is "lovly2me". Thanks for responding. |

16 | Is there no place for romance in Heaven? | 2 Cor 5:8 | lovly2me1 | 83996 | ||
Hummmmm, this is VERY interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time with this most exquisit answer. My predicament has caused me to become most interested in the Heavenly life. I plan to do much studying on the subject. Am greatly wondering why God made us so different and Heavenly things so different from what we know. How can he expect us to understand or rejoice at things so foreign to us. Why involve us in such earthly relationships, especially marriage, of which so much is made of, causing more sin than anything and then have it to all shatter and cease to be, in place of something so foreign as All being married to Christ. Also, the Christian life, seems to be marred by "living to die". Why would we want such a thing, finding it necessary to enter into a life so foreign, that it defies logic. Certainly nothing to be happy about, just sitting around praising God all day long for an eternity. Wondering why he did not shed more light on the subject. Am thinking, there must be more in the scriptures that we have overlooked, such as the above article on the Bride and the marriage supper. I truely found this piece superb, which makes me want to delve a little deeper into its meaning. Am quite stuck at having been given "the greatest gift of all" being love, and having it so cruely taken away. Cannot seem to find the love in that. After all is said and done, Im sure that what I will find, is another situation in which "self has to die". Another hurdle that I will have to jump over or mountain I will have to climb. For truely it is a form of death and an obsticle that I must conquer. |

Corinthians 2:9-10 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" -- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. 1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 1 Cor 2:15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 1 Cor 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. Matt 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. |

18 | Who will inhabit the earth? | 2 Cor 5:8 | lovly2me1 | 84133 | ||
Dont know where your Galatians 1:10 fit in, but the rest is superb. So my next question is, why does everyone want to know about heaven, when they're not going there anyway? Nobody talks about living on the earth except the Jehovas Witnesses. Think we need to get this right, or would that be pleasing men, to get something right? | ||||||

Jeff, I really feel for you. I agree with everything you said here and I am sorry if people have made you to feel that you are heretic for telling the truth. I know that Christians will do that. They dont like for anything to challange their beliefs, even if what they believe is ridiculous. Religious people have always been like that. Remember when they didnt like the things Jesus was saying and then they killed him? I do have to wonder about one thing though, if flesh and blood do not belong in heaven, why are there STREETS of gold, pearly GATES etc. Who will WALK on the streets of gold or OPEN the pearly gates. Starting to believe that all of what we believe is just plain crazy. Maybe we are crazy! |
