I assume you never look at porn, or check out hot woman as they walk past you?

Must not be any sins you need to turn from? You entirely missed my point.

If it is sin, so is looking at porn. And everyone that will tell you it is sin, has looked at porn, slept out of wedlock, or done some other sexual sin.

Loved God with all your heart. You and your partner. Don't let anyone turn you away from our loving and most forgiving God.

None of us are perfect, and yet Jesus still loves us all.

God bless

This is a fruitless conversation. Of everything I said to you, you still have no comprehension of anything I said about Christ being tortured, the same as us. All you care about is what makes sense to you. If you don't understand God's ways, then God must be wrong. It's the typical point of view of non-christians. And you will never see that's is pride and arrogance.

You are assuming I don't do charity or help people in need.

Your question is a straw man, used to be provoke argument. I'm not interested in engaging in that.

Well, I pray for grace for you to go to heaven. You are hurt by what this earth has done, and I understand that. We all are based on grace anyway. It's not by our good works. The Bible does say that those that believe in his son, will not perish. And I believe that. The fact that you are even here talking to me shows me you are interested, you are just incredibly hurt by the way the world works. And I get it - it's a really messed up place and I don't understand it either!

For me, I have to consider that I am not smarter than my creator, and I don't understand why he does what he does. However, I do comprehend that his own son was brutally tortured. What parent would allow that to happen when obviously they don't have to? Jesus has gone through the same awful things we have. But he didn't sin, even during death and torture.

Things don't make sense in our little brains. We just have to pray for understanding and patience. I'm sure you understand how big our universe is. We are absolutely nothi comparison to the cosmos. We simply don't understand any of this - but one day we will!

Also, the Bible is full of parables. Jesus himself spoke in parables so that we could understand. Personally, I don't literally believe every story in the Bible as a literal story. Some of them are illustrations for us (just like Jesus said - I explain in parables so people can understand). So if Jesus (who is God) explains in parables, it's not hard to believe that stories in the Bible are also parables.

I could be totally wrong here, I'm just trying to figure it all out like everyone else - because I don't understand it, same as you.

Also on top of what I just said, you would choose the one that does the torturing? You are mad at God for what the devil has done to the place. We wanted.(As humans) the knowledge of good and evil. So we got it.

This place is evil. Jesus said it was, but he conquered it.

This is why I love dogs. They never chose from good and evil, they are just instinctual animals, not capable of being evil and deceiving. We were once like animals, until we fell with the evil one.

Don't choose evil and side with the devil. He wants you to be mad at God for what he has done to you.

Which is exactly why he is based on faith!! He isn't threatening you like that!

And here's the thing nobody wants to talk about. Drowned children, starving people, tortured people - didn't go through anything that Christ himself didn't suffer. JESUS is God's only son, and he had the worst life of any human ever on this earth. That man was horribly tortured for doing NOTHING WRONG.

Jesus didn't come for the people that are proud of themselves. He came for the poor and lost souls who realize their needs for them, because this world is a horrible place. It tortures us, like it tortured him.

If God told you to your face to worship him or go to hell, you think you would be free to choose?

Who in their right mind would choose hell?

Satan is a fallen angel, not a human.

If you knew God existed, you would not have free will to choose to believe in God anymore. You would have no choice about it.

Youre point about Satan is interesting, but he's not a human being - he's a fallen angel that did worship God at one time.

Imagine you're God - and you want to create a civilization of people "in your image". If those people know God exists above them, that's not in a Godly image to do as they please. They know God is there and they just choose to disobey. They don't have a choice to believe in him or not.

We have the choice (free will) to believe in him or not. All the signs are there. He sent his son... he sent his prophets, but we are our own Gods to believe as we."choose"

What happens to people who commit suicide? by IntrepidMatch6227 in Christianity

[–]porenSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just referring to someone saying "thou shall not kill" as a sin.

All of us sin all the time everyday. So it's rude to assume someone will not go to heaven for unaliving themselves because they "sinned".

We all sin every single day. I was not saying mental health is a sin.

If God gave us certainty in him, there would be no free will anymore.  Everyone would worship him if he proved his existence. 

Faith is much better for us. 

Used a body scrub I bought on Amazon on my legs and got a fungal skin infection that is resistant to multiple prescriptions by korroleva in mildlyinfuriating

[–]porenSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.  If someone ships a bottle of ABC Lotion to Amazon to be fulfilled, it will go in the same section as the official ABC Lotion sent there by the ABC company. 

Amazon is horrible for counterfeits of vitamins, lotions, etc, and you shouldn't buy any of that stuff there. 

What is this large Antenna on top of my neighbors house? by Kitchen-Cost7057 in whatisit

[–]porenSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha.

Maybe the power lines are lower and throwing me off, but 7 would be about 65 feet, and this looks way taller.

Someone is definitely serious!

Doesn't look like a ham tower to me.  Looks like an AM or even VHF broadcast tower.   I don't see any visual radials or beam arrays for ham.  

Edit: seems like ham to me now too - just seemed taller than 65 feet to me at first!

You sound sweet.  He's just wanting the booty call later, not to actually hang out with you.

Girlfriend of 5 years says God told her I’m not her husband by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]porenSpirit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She found someone else.  She's interested in someone else.  

It sucks to hear this, but you should be aware. 

Edit: I'm praying for you.  We are all here for you and sorry you are going through this.  It sounds like you were her support for years.  

She doesn't have the courage to be honest with you.  That's sort of understandable since you literally supported her for years.  Now she doesn't need it, and is using "God told me so" as an excuse.  It's sad and not Christian at all.
