God loves all of you even if no one else does

You cannot relate to God by feelings, you can only relate to God by faith.

Feelings are personal and define a person, good or bad. A free person's feelings are the real motivation behind their thoughts and actions.
Faith however, can be conceived by indoctrination, deception and threats, tactics professionally used in religions.

As you mentioned yourself in your reply to Pittman, 'find yourself a GOOD church', so you must acknowledge the fact that some religious leaders mislead followers, so what would the faith those people have really mean compared to the existent honest good behaviour of nonbelievers?

Unless God sovereignly elects to intervene in a person's life without that person's consent, the usual manner in which God reveals Himself/His Presence is through the faith of the individual. Without faith it is impossible to please God, those who come to God [B]must believe that He is (i.e. that He exists), and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Yes, faith always precedes or goes hand-in-hand with answered prayer. Most prayers are not answered over night. Many prayers (depending on the request) can take years to come to pass because the answer is contingent on or predicated on the faith of the individual. Jesus repeatedly told people Whom He ministered to, "According to you faith be it unto you." Faith can be a greater or lesser degree at any given time. In addition, there are things that can hamper or hinder the answer from getting to you. For example, unforgiveness, hate, not walking in love, or other willful sins. You must have a clear conscience before God before making your requests to Him. Actually, you need to be born again if you want God to answer your prayers. [/B]

Rubbish, again your view is skewed.

Can you be more specific?

Faith that is not in Christ is futile.

That is why you believe that God has not responded to your prayer. Everytime I tell how something about how God operates you call it dumb (and you wonder why you have issues with God). I told you before that the failure is on your side not God's. I told you before that [B]you have issues. You need to get yourself together, look in the mirror then admit that you are the problem not God. Once you do that (you know get real and honest with yourself) then you will be a candidate for hearing from God. But you need to stop blaming God (or anyone else you might be blaming) for your problems. I perceive from my interactions with you on this forum that you have a short fuse. You cannot take critcism. So you need to deal with your anger issues as well.

Recap:
1) Humble yourself before God.
2) Accept responsibility for your problems and your actions.
3) Admit that your life is the product of the decisions that you have made thus far.
4) Stop blaming other people for your problems, but instead forgive them and release them from any liability (even if they have wronged you deeply). Let them go.
5) Ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for all of your sins, and come into your heart and give you eternal life.
6) Then ask Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit.
7) Finally, get yourself a King James Bible and began reading it, starting with the gospel according to John. Ask God in Jesus Name to lead you to a good church. Ask God for wisdom and thank Him daily for everything that He does for you that you cannot see. [/B]

i would expect nothing less from leatherface's father.

do all that and youll become an insane/obsessed hollow statue with no self or self appointed RIGHT to think. forget reason, forget self, forget emotions, foregt all that is logical, you are nothing but one made to serve god. if your ever thinking of anything other than god, remember, your wrong by default. this is exaclty the kind of phrases used in hypnosis/relegious schools to brainwash people into becoming slaves/labourers/child soldiers/suicide bombers etc.

What's wrong with the Old Testament? that's where most of the action is!
Old Testament God Rules!!

No, faith is of the heart.

God still loves you.

That is a personification.

God's love for you is immeasureable.

You should not take personifications literally.

God is a divine Personality or Person.
