So you are better at interpreting the Bible than a priest?

no one is good at interpreting the bible, they only think they are

there are so many versions of the BIBLE, im not sure which one is worded correctly

Finti> Sh! You're ruining my plan here... 😉

ummm why would you even ask that? I've never ever implied i was better than anyone at quoted the bible or answering the questions, not ever. You need to read all the other post to understand what i was meaning by that. Going to church does not mean you will make Heaven, nor does being a Youth Pastor, nor a Pastor, (therefore keep your eyes on God) The only way you will be able to make heaven is to truely ask frogiveness of your sins, confes that Jesus is the christ he rose in 3 days, and serve and worship God. A title does NOT guarntee anyone they will go to heaven. 🙂

my views are a lot like fiery eyes.. I believe there is a god.. and that he did make us.. I am a christain too..Im not a very good one, but i try.. and i dont think Im better than anyone. ...and personally I would much rather have a god than to be faithless because I already knew what it felt like.. and I was always depressed, and lonely.. I still get that way sometimes but now I look to god.. I know it sounds kind of weird.. and i have never been good at writing out how i feel.. but the world we live in needs a god, theres so much pain going on...and believing in god keeps me going..and sometimes its the only thing keeping me going on.. I would hate to see the world if no one believed in god..but thats just how i feel

Finally!! 🙂 Now I don't feel so alone in here at times. Not many believe that way in here. I do not think i'm better than anyone else either. We all have opinions its nice to be able to express them and see others point of views.
I'm sorry you get depressed alot, I know that God will help you thru that. 🙂

is to truely ask frogiveness of your sins,

😂 just like a drunk man insisting he's not drunk 😂

no cause what you regard as sin, I dont.

✅ like a usual culprit ... he does not admit he is a culprit.

or as the religious who wears eyeflaps

yeah as if everybody knows the true meaning of "religion" is ...

...all they know is the definition given by dictionaries and encyclopedias... that's all.

so

still dontgetit ? oh ... 🙄 nevermind. 🙂

I understand what you mean Vaya. It just depends on your point of view. While some people may think the idea of a godless world is shocking and depressing, others may find it a liberating idea to consider. I myself don't believe in a god simply because I have no reason to (other than what other people have told me). If I were to see a god or have them speak to me, my opinion on the matter would be different. But I do know that I'm happier now as an atheist than I ever was as a christian.

I have no problems with having no faith in the bible

In fact, I have lots of problems... 🙄 ... a simple proof that God really loves me. ✅

and how is your problems a proof of that god loves you?

He's like burning a gold to reveal it's real worth -- like testing one's faithfulness. He usually do this to His most precious people.... because He simply loves them.
