You're right, no one is innocent, but Shaky is right in saying some Christians use the literal interpretation of the bible to condemn innocent people people they disagree with.

With the connection restored, we can communicate with him as a child would his/her parent. He is our Father. He wants us to communicate our problems to Him, express our fears to Him, etc. That is what God wants from us. He wants to be our Father. We need to be as loving and devoted to Him as we would our own parents.




Beautiful post. thumb up

Communication can include dissent. God does not take kindly to that.

But "ever possibility" cannot be ruled out.
