Just open your heart truly to God , he does exist.... God is love , peace , understanding , he is faithful and just , he is just everything to me and you as well , you have to just have faith in him and he will not fail you , trust in him .. sometimes you have to look at what is really going on in your life and evaluate why you are really going through some of the things you are , sometimes it is because of what we are doing in our on lives , we can't blame God for bad things in our life , the devil wants us to beleive God is the reason for our pains when in fact the devil himself is... just trust in God and you will Never Never be sorry or regret it ... read the Word (Bible) and ask God for understanding and you will begin to realize things you really need to know and then you will see things like never before , and drinking is only a way to show your pain , it won't help you trust that , but God will and can ... God gave his only son as a sacrafice so that we have a chance at eternal life someday in heaven with him ,, Jesus is so real and wonderful.. I Love Jesus with all my heart and I will never go astray from him , I am willing to do his work here on earth and then I will be rewarded in heaven when I pass from this world , that is what we must all want to accomplish , God is real.. I know this for all he has brought me through and is doing and has done in my life , he blocks a lot of things from happening in my life , I have had things taken out of my life that would have destroyed me if it wasn't for God taking it out.... He is just so wonderful , Give God a real chance and you will definately see a change in your life... and there are a lot of mysteries in life and wonders that we will never understand and everything is not meant for us to understand.. I will pray for you . God Bless and keep you and if you want to know answers , you pray too and you will see , you will get the answers you ask for... God Bless.. Randy

He knows what he put us here for... So, I would imagine that he wants us to do what is right. He is all knowing but, expects more... 2. The devil tries to lead us to temptation, its god's way of saying... Here is your challenge. 3. How and when has god ever been jealous? He has all the powers, what the heck do we have?! 4. Bad out weighs good because OUR WORLD SUCKS... We just have to find the way to make life better. How can you believe? Its more expected than not believed. 5. We are all loved all christmas but, if the devil were to be destroyed, where would all the bad ppl go?! HEAVEN!?!? HELL NO... 6. You have to be strong and find a way to get away from the devil. Always try to be strong. 7. Confused, please rephrase the Q 8. Christians (most but, not much lately) are known to be all good and obide by the rules of no sex b4 marriage, stay away from bars, drugs, and all. But, other christians lead a normal life in belief that ALL SINS ARE FORGIVEN. 9. Temptation... I was like that too but, all in all... I still believe but, I still don't understand what the hell I am to do next in this life. When lead into temptation that god won't help you because your life sucks, just understand this. We are not the only ones on God's list... More like billions... He comes thru when he gets the chance. Almost like the pope can't see everyone at one at a time but, when he can, he will... Just to fill your life with happiness. |

I don’t believe in the Biblical interpretation of God. I’m a Pantheist. We believe that God is nice, and that God is in us and everyone around us. Even when they aren’t being nice. So I’ll answer your questions from my perspective but try to back them up with Christian ideas when possible. 1.) how the hell can God judge us when he knoow excault what we ar going to do?
In my believe God doesn’t know what we are going to do ahead of time anymore than we do. I don’t believe in a God that knows the future. God knows what’s possible and what’s not possible but God doesn’t know precisely how things will unfold. God is within you. God knows what you know. God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, and all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way. Not carrying you but going along for the ride. God only passes judgment on you as you pass judgment. You are ultimately your own judge by how you judge those around you. You are judged by your own standards. And this is something that Jesus himself said. Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. So my Pantheistic view is in agreement with what Jesus taught about how God judges. This is a Christian view if you believe in the word of Jesus. 2.) Its not fair to let the devil travle to and from heaven. and takes us for who we are.
I agree that wouldn’t be fair. I don’t believe in the devil as an entity. To me, the “devil” is nothing more than our own tendency to go against our very own desires. We are our own devils. And of course, those around us can become devils too by allowing themselves to become monsters they don’t truly want to be. Being true to yourself is to be true to God. If you are not true to yourself then you have abandoned God as well. Your body is your temple, and your spirit is the altar of your soul. If you have no respect for you true self you cannot have respect for God because God lives within you. 3.) God tells us not to be jealous but we have a jealous god is that being hypercrictle?
I don’t believe that God is a separate entity. God lives within you. God is in your true self. What this means is that God does not want you put anything before your true desire. God does not want you to be untrue to yourself. You are not happy when you are untrue to yourself. When you are unhappy then God is unhappy because,… God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, and all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way. This is what it means for God to be ‘jealous’ when you are untrue to yourself. These are the moments when you abandon God. 4.) How can you belive when bad out weight the good?
It’s not true. Less than 2% of the people on planet earth commit violent crimes. Less than 10% of the population of earth is involved in lesser crimes, seriously debilitating disease, suffering from accidents, or conducting violent activities in all the current wars in the world combined. That means that 90% of the people are being pretty good. If you are experiencing bad situations in your life, you need to take action to get out of those situations or address them in some way. You can’t just sit back and expect an external God to wave a magic wand. God lives within you! God works through you. You must be true to yourself and act on your true desire. In this way you become a servant of God. This is what it means to do God’s will. To be true to yourself and do what you genuinely want (not what you are tempted to do but know isn’t good for you!. You know when you are naughty, and you know when you are nice! You judge yourself based on what you know in the middle-middle of your heart where God lives within you. God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way 5.) Is there enough pain I suffer through my 33 years of life why you let the devil keep comeing back? don't you love me like all Christians?
God works through you. You must avoid the devil. And keep in mind that there is no devil “entity”, the devil is nothing more than people not being true to themselves. The devil is what people become when they go astray from their true self (from God). You must take action. But know that God is with you every step of the way,… God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way 6.) you know I hate him(devil) why you let him keep torching me?
You aren’t suppose to hat anyone! Love your enemies. But DO avoid them if they are not serving God. If they are not being true to themselves. If they are harming others, they are also miserable with themselves. They have abandon their true self, and therefore they have abandoned God. You can try to help them, or avoid them. Or contact people who can help them. Don’t let them remain in your life. You must take action to do God’s will (i.e. to be true to yourself!) 7.) how could you give your only son knowing how we where going to do the same thing as they did before he was every born?
I personally don’t believe that it was Jesus goal to be crucified. A God that would have planned that in advance would have been suicidal. Moreover, if God had planned it in advance then men wouldn’t have had much choice about it right? I believe in much of the Teachings of Jesus, but I personally feel that much of what is in the gospels about him is rumor and misunderstandings. Jesus taught the things he taught so that you may know how to live in harmony with God (with your true self). Jesus lived for you! He didn’t die for you! That whole thing is a total misunderstanding. Jesus came to teach us how to find God within us by teaching us to be true to ourselves. In this way he saved us from “the devil” (i.e. the desire to be untrue to ourselves). 8.) why do you let christen say we dont need to be around (in) bars or druges. if they are truly christain they too can over come this. because don't they have a right to know God too?
Don’t judge a religious philosophy by the hypocrites who fail to practice it. It’s always a good idea to stay away from bars and drugs. Alcohol and drugs can cause you to do things that are not true to yourself if they are abused. Some people can handle those drugs and alcohol better than others. That’s a fact of physiology. You can’t serve your true self if you are using mind-altering substances. Your body is your temple,…God lives within you. God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way When you have a hangover, God has a hangover. Not good! You must be true to yourself! And you don’t want to have hangovers do you??? 9.) how can one day I believe in yo and months later question your existions?
Because you are thinking of God as an external magician with a wand who is supposed to reach into your life and do things FOR YOU! That’s not the way it works. God works through you! God is within you. God experiences everything you experience. All your pain, all your joy, all your guilt, and all your dignity. God wants you to have a good life because God is experiencing your life with you every step of the way. Hope this helps. |

You are a thinking person and these ideas in Christianity obviously do not make sense. Find your own path. God is speaking to you to follow your path. AA does not say you have to believe in Jesus. You can believe in any higher power. I think the one described above would be a great step forward from the one your at. I also believe that you know whats right when it comes to God and you. |
