Creation of the universe

As I've said before, I can only tell you what I know and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life from there. Believing the Truth isn't something I can make you do. God could, but He won't. That's the point of free will. As much as He wants you to believe, He won't force you. Accepting the Truth as Truth is a matter of choice.

I suppose you're in the one true church too.

If all of the Bible is symbolic, how can Jesus and other figures be proven historically and found in other books written during that time?

The Da Vinci Code contains historical figures and describes actual events, but it is not a history book.

So you can't prove it then.....Well, I believe I know the truth, and you're being deceived by your own self deceptive programming.....And you are a scary, scary person.... 😐

I suppose you're in the one true church too.

How am I a scary person? Really? How?

Because YOU in your self righteous pompous attitude has just condemned the world to hell with NO proof that what you believe is true, and you are going around spreading this GOSPEL thinking you're doing a good thing.

read what you just wrote about me and tell me that you aren't judgmental.

if you'd take a moment to get to know anything about me, you'd know that i'm not like that at all. i don't go around condemning people to hell, i want them to allow Jesus to save them from it.

That statement right there just condemned the world to hell......See how judgmental you are.

What is wrong with that? After all hell is not a place, so to condemn someone to go there, isn't really all that bad. 😉

*breathing in, breathing out* 😂

Ommmmm ommmmm ommmmm.....lol

point fingers, please, and then tell other people that they are. because of sin, people are condemned to hell. but Jesus died to save them from it. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO TO HELL, WHY WON'T YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT? i hate the thought of it. if it weren't for grace, i too would be condemned to hell. if i'm being judgmental, then i guess i am judging myself too.

I am going to wait until I am on my death bed and then ask for grace cuz It'll mean that I can go to heaven🙂 ✅ 🐰

that's one of the most ridiculous statements i've ever heard. you make God sound like some kind of puppet that you can make do whatever you want to do. If that is your plan, I'd try to find another one. God judges the heart and the intentions of our actions. He'll know whether or not you are sincere or not.

Me too, me too, me too........... 🙄

You said you knew what Sheol meant...........so you know THERE IS NO HELL!!!!!....It's just means death...pit, grave...nothing more...

i told you, i'm done with this topic. sorry. it's getting redundant.

*thinks to self*

"creation...."

well, it probably just was. Who cares about how it was formed. We are here, so get along with each other and deal with it. jeez.

And Micahlynn: try thinking about what other religions say about death and heaven. I am tired of people only striking from the christian stand point. Try to branch out a bit. There ARE other views out there.

And another thing: no one here is correct in any idea they put forth. It's notheing personal, and even I am wrong. There is no possible way we can imagine the beginng or end. Sure, we can try to find a way, but ultimately we have no idea what will await us.

so sit back, and don't worry. The world is a big place, full of guns, bombs, and greedy people. Fight them, and stop worrying about what is to come or what other people's views are. And don't send missionaries, they always show up right as I'm sitting down to dinner.

the Hindus say: "religions are all like rivers: they all lead to the same ocean."

Take that to mind.

You are right, there are other religions. But that doesn't mean that they are all right. I honestly believe I know the Real Truth. Why would I want to consider other religions? I do want to know more about them, but not so I can start believing them. Jesus is the only Way, Truth, and Life... no one comes to the Father except through Him. No other ways lead to Him.

what's great is that you didn't read the entire post. Didn't I just say everyone here is wrong? The human race is wrong. What makes you think that God is the real way? What makes you think that God isn't just jerking our legs? he has the power to do that, doesn't he? Im just pointing out that as God, he has the ability to do what ever he wants.

by the way, not reading an entire post can get you into some serious situations. 💃

and you didn't bother to ponder what exactly the hindu quote meant. It means that no matter what path you are on, you will make it to the same place everyone else does.

so just step back and breath. Take a look.

Jesus never said he was the only way.

i did read the entire post, i just didn't feel the need to quote it all. and, God can do whatever He wants, but He is perfect and holy and only chooses to do good and what is right and just.

who told you that? God? Isn't also in his power to tell you he chooses to do just things?

you're a funny one. just think for one moment that god has human characteristics. Try it: don't worry, it's not drugs.
