Can you see the lines being drawn? One can only be for God or against. Gathering or scattering. Even if it is through unbelievers or Believers- The choice is coming to the forefront.
I see believers in Jesus -even me trying to get you to accept Jesus and to be forgiven of your sins against God. Than I see non-believers trying to get the world to deny Christ- even if in different words the end result is the same- denial, rejection, dishonor God.
This is what are lives will come to- are you for God or against?

  I'm very serious, but don't expect a logical response.
  
  My questions:
  
  What is this god thing you speak of other than "it" being an imagined "thing?"
  
  Who is this jesus other than who "it" is as you've determined "it" to be from the pages of a book, the NT, that has been so corrupted by time and human embellishment that it exists as naught but a book filled with heresay.
  
  I don't think you can offer a WELL REASONED answer to my questions.

  ...Heavenbound:
  
  You, absolutely!...didn't read my post and understand it.
  
  You just fulfilled the opposite of my desire that you offer a "WELL REASONED" response.
  
  You offered trite fundamental religious BS from a book which has no credibility as being one worthy of reading...other than for entertainment as a boring fairytale.
  
  Why did you try to answer my questions?
  
  Are you so bigoted that you thought your response was "WELL REASONED?"

  Ask and you will receive. If in your heart you expect your brother to do badly, then in your eyes, your brother can do no good. If, instead, you look upon your brethren and wish him well, surely, in your eyes, he will do no wrong. If your brother wishes you well, wish your brother well also, and don't be like Cain against Abel, for surely evil lies upon this path.

  You know, Shades, I waited for someone sensible to say just what you said before I posted to this thread, because even as a Christian, I found this post somewhat offensive. Even though I am a believer in Christianity (meaning that I do believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father IF you have heard that truth and had the opportunity to follow Him), I still believe that people come to that conclusion in many different ways, through many different avenues. AND, I believe that there are people who will never hear about Jesus, but will still find their way to God (the God who is the creator). So, yes, I am FOR GOD, but I don't necessarily carry around the feeling that those who believe/feel differently from me are AGAINST GOD. It frustrates the hell out of me to hear this kind of talk. Fundy Christians hate me for this, and I don't care. Thanks for that very quick and truthful response.

  Motown-So you are a Christian you say and does it upset you when the bible says the same thing? The choices we make are very important and yes we should live a life that is for God not against God. The reason I posted this is because a lot of people are against God, Jesus and scream it all day calling us stupid, uneducated on & on. It is not hate to bring to you alls attention that we are to be clearly for God -or it shows us against. We can not take the side of mockers and those that don't know God and mock with them.
  God loves us all and we do need to make a choice and yes the world will hate us for the truth we share- if we are sharing truth?

  heavenbound, I am never upset by what the Bible says, but I am often upset by those who misinterpret what it says. Not that I have the ultimately correct interpretation, but I live a life that is FOR GOD in that I choose to love those around me, even if they are sinners, much like Christ did. I don't beat others with Scripture. I have said this before and will say it again. IT IS NO MORE RIGHT TO BEAT PEOPLE WITH SCRIPTURE THAN IT IS TO BEAT THEM WITH YOUR FISTS.
  
  I choose to love, and if someone asks me why, then I'll tell them that it is the Holy Spirit and Jesus who live within me. If they don't choose to ask, I go on about my business, hoping that I've planted a seed.

  Motown-
  
  Jesus said, "Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32,33).
  
  ezeikiel 3 is a chapter I like and it is about warning people.
  
  You are supposed to be leading people to Jesus by actions, love and actually asking them if they have accepted Jesus as there Lord.
  I am not spreading hate- Jesus died for everyone. We have to realize God will not accept luke warm Christians. And I am not calling you this but being either for God or against God is not luke warm. On fire for Jesus is what's needed. I am bold to tell the truth but I am not quick to say the hell with you all. I would never use hell speech as a way to reach them.
  It is about Jesus and His love- he loves even the worst of all. You do know this isn't all I do- I do pray over you all, praying for God to soften peoples hearts and etc in Jesus name. There's more than just speaking about it. Seeing this is a computer this is all you see I do.
  I love people, help people, pray for them, give to those that are in need, I love those that even the world rejects- because of Jesus. The only reason I can do this stuff is because of the love of Christ & how it has effected my life,heart & will.
  Of course it will be seen as hate to those that don't understand- it's like having ears but they hear NOT and seeing without really seeing at all. To be convicted by God and his word is completely different than condemnation. Faith comes when the word is heard.
  Before anyone turns/repents from sin we kinda do feel bad if we love God- it natural to not feel so happy when the word of God challenges us to be better or even yet shows us where we are wrong.
  How could we feel good living in sin and not going to Jesus to be cleansed?
  Do you get what I'm saying?

  When it was pointed out that it was all opinion, you then proceeded to belittle, with the insinuation that you were using facts to back up your statement.

  I implied nothing - I made 2 distinctly separate statements, that you combined but - as you say - there is no evidence for an invisible super being, so - rather illogical to assume one based on no facts, - my opinion.
  
  I do have facts that prove the bible is not literally true. I also have facts that prove biblical believers are no better or worse than any one else. I also have facts that prove the bible is copied from other, earlier irrational belief systems, and facts that prove it was politically and economically motivated. This does not prove the biblical being does not exist, but it throws substantial doubts on the religion.
  
  Also - if you are going to assume that gods are possible - as there are an infinite number of possible gods, with no evidence either way for any of them - surely it is reasonable to say that the biblical god is infinitely improbable?

  Although, I would argue the point that it was incorrect to view two statements, uttered within the same exchange at such close proximity, and assume the second was used to expand upon the veracity of the first; I won't. Seeing as how you seem like a reasonable man.

  Did I say anything about hell?
  It is important for us to get to know God and come closer to him. God is the source of life and can do the impossible for us. The love of God draws all people to Him.
  It is important to let people know we are to be for God and not bent on saying he's not there.
  Saying he's not their, and can't help and is a joke is the very thing that's stopping us/ those from getting to know God. Pride and man's wisdom takes us in circles without help.
  
  What am I supposed to say God loves you and doesn't want to save you? Or can't ? If I did that than I could join the mockers, liars and those that don't know the power or truth of God.
  People are looking for help for many reasons - than the first step is to look at Jesus and how he set people free from all types of problems and even from the wages of sin which = death/ eternal separation from God.<<< their you go that meant hell.
  Because of Jesus and us accepting, believe, having faith in the fact that Jesus has reconciled us back to God.
  Than we can confidently come to God knowing we will be heard and answered according to God's will.
  We offer you a free gift that removes all the condemnation that sin bring you and you say hate- you hate us, you haters all you want is for us to be forgiven like you and really know the love of God! WOW- so wrong you are when you say we hate you when telling you of Jesus.
  
  Now if all you hear is about hell than that would be wrong- we are to tell you the goodness of God. But remember there's consequences for our actions and sins-just like everything else in life. That's why we need Jesus because we can't be perfect. Their is so much protection in following Jesus and striving to go deeper and deeper in God- more of God and less of us.
  
  A true friend/ someone that truly loves you will tell you when you are wrong - that you are wrong - IF you like it or not!! For your own good.
  But it's not meant to make you mad and if it does I pray in JESUS name it will produce in you later what God wants. -repentance/for you to be humbled. It is much easier to humble yourself before God than for us to be humbled by God.
  We just don't like being told what to do that's it, rebellion is the cool thing of the day.
  No one can tell me what to do I know it all and do not need God!
  Wow bad choices and lack of God can make anyone look a fool.
  Take it or leave it- Jesus- but you really do need him!

  That, and most "conversions" just are NOT as dramatic as most fundies would like you to believe. People come to belief as slowly and gently as most come to non belief. And, in the grand scheme of things, most of us who believe are much more moderate and a lot quieter than they happen to be. Doesn't make our belief any less valid. Their biggest mistake is that they're busy trying to "convert" in many instances not only non believers, but BELIEVERS who don't believe EXACTLY as they do.

  Really?
  
  If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord than you are saved!
  I never said you weren't saved! I just was telling you we are to tell the world of Jesus through our action, words and life.
  Some just don't understand God's word or the power in it.
  Some may think no one listening when they speak of Jesus, but it's not true.
  It's never a waste of time to share Jesus and it's does more than you may ever know.
  God gave us his word and Jesus has sent us forth with it to shine light into the midst of darkness.
  If you'd actually take time to read some of my pages, than you would see I hold true to what I say and I do love people and I am doing right by telling everyone about Jesus.
  What if I refused to take crap off people and stopped talking and sharing Jesus?
  Who would of died without one last chance to receive Jesus?
  Who did I refuse to sow a seed into?
  I am not to give up with this message and I will be held accountable for those that I just didn't want to bother with.
  You know if I would stop talking to people on the streets about Jesus who else would reach them- someone else like me on fire for God-maybe-maybe not? God has assigned certain people to us that only we can reach you know? I can't drag people into church but I can present the love of Christ by extending the invitation to them.
  It works people's lives are being changed because I refuse to pass them up and yes it's so simple to get a person to receive Jesus and others may not be so easy. But I guarantee you this this gospel of Jesus that I share penetrates even the unbelievers heart and maybe they won't take Jesus now for what he is-But later these words will continue to play like a never-ending tape player in there heart and mind.
  The word of God rises over and over in there hearts and a lot of them kicking and screaming against God who wants to save them will be saved just in time and not to late.

  Have you read any of my hubs? Have you seen what Jesus does in my life? Have you seen how He's led me through some of the darkest things in the world (AFTER I was saved)? With all due respect, if you wish to witness, I'm all for it, but you need not witness to me. I'm right where I need to be with Jesus. I don't mean to offend you at all, I'm just perfectly okay spiritually. And, I know that people listen when I speak of Jesus when the Holy Spirit leads them to. But, I don't believe it's right to smash the Gospel into someone's face when they've asked not to hear it.

  This forum was so people can think about are you living your life for or against God.
  Also that in this world it is as if there's a separation taking place within for or against God. I did not say I wanted it to be this way this is just how it's going.
  More and more people are hating God and have a total lack respect and honor when it comes to God & his ways.
  But of course it's seen as hate- because that's all everyone seem to be crying these days when someone tells the truth and says you need God, Jesus.
  They called Jesus a hypocrite too!
  We are to love the sinner and hate the sin.

  It is apparent you lack the understanding of hate. It isn't hate for or against a god.
  
  If you could see beyond yourself for two seconds to listen to what is actually being said, then you might actually learn something new.
  
  You claim a god exists. That is YOUR NEED, which is actually YOU LYING to yourself. You want to believe in Jesus? Then do so. But, under NO circumstances do you have a right to invade other people's life with your belief.
  
  Why? Because it causes conflict. People don't like to be told what to do and in all honesty, they have that for a specific reason. That reason is because they can be their own authority(most can make all decisions for their own life and not damage other people's life).
  
  It is completely irrational for you to think that you bring your belief into a public forum and not expect to get blasted. You might re-consider your own actions, before you laid claim to other people's actions? As it stands, YOU don't look too good, as a person.

  Being for or against Creator is pointless and futile. Will people 'have to' choose, no. Even now they do not. Eventually people won't -if you understand my meaning.
  To believe | disbelieve; to choose | reject; to profess | negate is contrary to the entire purpose of the Work. I will publicly say this and hope it is understood:

  Not all who disbelieve are against god. They just don't see things the same as others.
  
  There are many gods...if there wasn't then "The God" wouldn't have to create a commandment that says to have no other god before me. Nor would he had to say that he was the "One and only god". It is possible to have faith and believe in a god and it not be the one others believe in.
  
  You can not be against something if you have no believe in it. For example, our fellow Hubber Quark. Quark is neither for or against god. As far as Quark is concerned there is no such thing, therefore nothing to be in support of, nor anything to be opposed to either.

  9    ¶ They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
  10    Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
  11    Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
  12    ¶ The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
  13    The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
  14    He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
  15    Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
  16    He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
  17    and the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
  18    ¶ They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
  19    And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
  20    He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

  13    Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
  14    Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

  Hi,
  That's another reason why Jesus hasn't returned- This Gospel will be preached to all four corners of the earth and then he will return. There is more than one way to spread the Gospel. There's tv now and many are reaching out into various countries with the Gospel of Jesus and they continue to go broader and broader with there availability into more countries. So yes it is spreading and yes there are the highest numbers yet in many countries from underground churches and home churches.
  
  Many do no tell because they will die for it in some places. Watch youtube also and look into the revivals of the current around the world.

  The narrow path leads to God and not many are found there. So all the fuss over how I say and It agrees with the word of God- we should honor God, be for His ways-because He is for us-not for our sins but for us and this is where Jesus comes in to allow us through His sacrifice to approach God. After all most people want to know there creator and how to honor Him God. We should respect God, and not to deny Him rights in and through us. We can have peace in the middle of any situation- the peace Jesus gives this world can never take away!!
  God bless you all!
  God will have His way with you all and Jesus will be revealed to you all in Jesus name. The plans God has for us are good - now get and understand this!
  The wisdom of this world is nothing, without power, without God, without redemption- Not God's plan at all!! And without Jesus we are separated from God! Once again not God's plan at all.

But I can't make you drink it/accept it only the word/truth of God and God himself can change your heart through Jesus the one came to save you.
  Even if people twist the truth and lie it still doesn't take away Jesus power to save, it does not shorten his arm, or stop him from reaching into your heart to change your mind and to see that his love is here to save you- Not enslave you! Freedom from all chains, fetters, lies and deceit. For Jesus has risen from the dead and so we His body have also risen from the dead-spiritual deadness.
  The same spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is what causes us to thrive in a sin bound world- letting our light shine before all men. And when we die we will meet are savior.
  God bless you all.

  I do not fight against flesh and blood don't you know?
  I do pray and I have humbled myself to God's will not mine.
  My will (former self) would never have me here in these chat rooms - sharing the love of Christ with you.
  I wouldn't even of cared but you know God changed my heart a long time ago.
  Now I know what it feels like to fall and walk away from God. And then come back and see that he had never truly given up on me, truly his mercy and grace abounded& abound in my life and all I needed to do is submit to His will that will bring more good and fruits than I could ever imagine.
  I love because He loved me first!!
  I need to know nothing other than Christ and that he died and rose for me.

  Luke 12:8-10: --“I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.

  To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed.
  In the end it will be burned. Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case — the things that have to do with salvation.”

  Ephesians 2-1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
  2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
  3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
  4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
  5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
  6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
  7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
  8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
  9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
  10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
  11Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
  12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
  13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
  14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
  15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
  16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
  17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
  18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
  19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
  20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
  21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
  22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

  So are you once again dissing the fact that I am telling people that honoring God and His word is wrong?
  I think you misunderstand something about what we are to do share Jesus with the world with our mouth plus actions. The word of God gives us knowledge and without God's knowledge we perish.
  So do you accept the word of God as final authority in your life?
  Do you know that someone is being reached through the word of God I am sharing even if they have left no comments?
  I am confident in God and not ashamed to share the gospel of Jesus.
  And we are to encourage people to honor God!
  Mostly all these religion post are ungodly- with out much truth. So who do you suppose is to declare the truth of God word, mercy, love and forgiveness?
  The unbeliever's don't back down and continue to tells strait out lies that don't line up to the reality of God or Christ.
  Jesus was bold, so was his followers not rude but not afraid to tell the truth.
  Jesus didn't take anything from the pharisees- He gave them the truth in return. He even told them if they did not know by what power he performed these miracles than he wasn't going to tell them, they had been told, and even saw Jesus miracles and still didn't believe!!
  So it's a sin to tell people we all even me myself have sinned and do- and that we need Jesus?
  Not the word of God at all if you claim God gave us a vow of silence. They even got offended with Jesus words which were from God!!
  
  Matthew 11:6--And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
  Jesus even told them that he sets life and death before them and to chose life!!
  No I am not supposed to bow down to lies and say oh yeah there's many ways to God- that's not staying faithful to God- and it's a lie!!
  I can't accept sin and call it good. Sense I love people I will share Jesus with them!!
  I love John 17>> Here's a little of it: 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
  
  I stand and testify that Jesus is the way to God and that we need Jesus.

  As I have stated earlier, I believe that Jesus is the way to God. As I also stated earlier, not everyone will come to Jesus because of what YOU say, or when YOU think they should. Yes, my dear, I know that you are going to be scandalized by this statement, but there are kernels of truth in other world religions. Before the end of time, I believe that ALL truth will lead to Jesus, so no, I don't find it necessary to beat people into believing the way I do. Sorry.
  
  As far as this statement goes that you made above, "He even told them if they did not know by what power he performed these miracles than he wasn't going to tell them, they had been told, and even saw Jesus miracles and still didn't believe!!" you are completely disproving it. You continue to tell others even though they may choose not to believe, or may simply have not arrived at a point of belief yet.
  
  I know you don't like the things I have to say, but my life has been about nothing but Jesus for the last fifteen years. I've been where you are, and it's a hard lesson to learn that this type of "evangelism" is not going to win anyone over. First, reach out to those who have fallen away or who are agnostic. Most of this group doesn't believe at all, and unless you're able to argue from the same camp that they can, your argument is pointless. Your prayers are not, so continue to pray. BUT, don't argue.
  
  As far as how I choose to participate in these forums and what I choose to say, yes, you will often find me agreeing with the unbelievers, because the reason I stayed away from God for so many years was because of folks like you. I don't mean to offend in any way, but anyone can post eight million verses of Scripture to support their argument, but it will be meaningless for anyone who believes Scripture is meaningless.
  
  Do you understand the point I'm making? I'm not dissing you or your efforts at all. If you read my posts that way, I apologize. Nor do I think you're sinning to try to share your faith. Not quite sure where you got that impression.
  
  I am not offended by anything you have to say, and as I've said before, I choose mostly to live my faith, not talk about it in the hope that others will choose to buy it. Shake off the dust, darling, and move on to another town. As a prophet, you're not being recognized in this one. That's all I'm saying.

It's about making a choice and you will either be for God and his ways or it will go against everything God says- if we do not make a continuous effort to get closer to him through Jesus, the one that has payed the price for us to be forgiven, born again- accepting the spirit of God- Holy Spirit. Than we will never know God or his love. Yes he loves us all- but what are we going to do with?
Are you going to continue to bite the hand that feeds you? After all God is the one that gave us being, food, and all else that we need!
You must see past the confusion and take a closer look at your life God has you here for a reason- not by accident! God has given you gifts that will bring you joy, peace and bring honor to His name.

We can not be on the fence and say I just don't know what is true and say I believe all that claims some form of godliness- because their is only one way to be in right standing with God.

God promised if we would search for him with all are heart we would find him. God never said a persons logic/mind and reasoning would help at all! Actually God isn't for man wisdom because it represents man trying to be there own god, with there own way- contrary to his will. With in God's will is where are peace, understanding, and salvation is- Jesus.

We can't know it all- but we can know the one that does hold all wisdom knowledge and power!

God doesn't say there are many ways to him and all other ways God's word declares as false, a lie, satan deceiving mankind, all in all it results to idolatry- anything that we put before the one and only God that created us.

Our actions and words for or against God and His word already shows where we are standing right now.

  You talk about actions, yet fail to see your own and the harm that comes from said harmful action.
  
  You talk about "god" as if it's real. Just because, 4+ billion people on the planet believe a god is real, doesn't actually make it so. The ignorance of religion is to keep people confused about their own life and to live in a specific manner. Or did you miss that?
  
  Yet, here we are talking about something and you bring up actions. Actions are morals. If you don't like that, then I think you need to learn more.

  So far, the only thing you've managed to prove, through your actions is that you're completely blind to those who speak to you. You want to be a good Christian, then fine. Learn to be more consciously active about your damn actions and the consequences of them. If you understand the consequences and still persist, then you are in essence dishonest.
  
  Religion causes conflict. The belief in a god causes conflict. When you actively choose to cause conflict, then what does that say about you and your individual character?
  
  Just a thought.

  The belief in anything that Cagsil doesn't believe in causes conflict for Cagsil.

  You're a riot. Just a laugh a minute. Do you do your own press?
  You got something, but right now it's unexplainable.
  Ignorance is stupidity in motion. If you have stupidity in motion, someone is going to get hurt.
  
  My conflict is in the fact that people lack understanding. What understanding? Their role in their own life. Thus, they know their place in this world. Without knowing, causes conflict.
  Highly doubtful.
  Really? Apparently, you do not pay close attention. Maybe, even at your age, opening your eyes might be a good thing.

  You see, that's your problem. I see a path to peace and the only thing you are is in the way. Plain and simple TRUTH.
  
  The fact that you cannot actually see beyond yourself(and don't bother twisting it around on me, saying I need to- because I wrote a hub on how to see past one's ego, which I am sure you would never attempt to do) and open your eyes(metaphor- heart) to actually learning all the time, then you would know and have learned that a individual human species does not actually have a need for the belief in a god.
  
  Therefore, no rhyme or reason for a god to exist in the first place.

  So what happens when we mess up and don't stick to our morals?
  It's called sin against God-that is if your morals line up to or agree with God's morals.
  If it's all based on morals alone it will get us no where.
  Jesus is here for us because we do fall short and sin!
  Narrow minded hmm. Narrow path yes!
  I am sure of what I believe in and God is faithful and never fails to prove it- because I chose to trust him.
  Refusing to care about honoring God the one who sustains us is the first wrong move in anyones life..Thank God for Jesus- our way back to Him!!

  If you bothered to read outside the "word" and study a bit of ancient history, or even watch the history channel you would know that your christ is not the first christ. The christ myth, like most of the bible is based on stories that came long before your christ, with the same psychological concept dating back almost to ra.

  Where was Ra the sun god in Ex 10:22, When darkness covered Egypt?
  
  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.” So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.>Ex 10:21-22
  
  Where was Horis when the death angel came and killed the 1st born of the cattle and the 1st born in the land of Egypt in >Ex 12.
  
  Where was Apis the bull god in Ex 9:6, When all the cattle died?
  
  Where was Sobeck the god that controlled the river in Ex 7:20, When the rivers turned to blood?
  
  Through recent research it has revealed that those plagues should of been stopped by the gods of Egypt. A god made of stone can't hear, touch, feel, or see!
  You sent miraculous signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day.> Neh 9:10
  
  But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.> Ex 9:16
  
  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.> Rom 9:17
  
  God proved he has all power and there is not any other God than Him!!

  Present day there are other higher authority which will hold you accountable, depending on what was done.
  Excuse me, I wrote a hub on "God's" morals. The most absolute morals society is to live by. However, I recently also wrote a hub that points out the FLAW in the absolute morals(god's so called perfection). Absolute morals cannot exist among humans. Why? Because, it's oppression by definition. Period!
  Actions are based on morals. Therefore, actions are either moral(good) or immoral(bad) or amoral. Amoral is either good(moral) or bad(immoral).
  Jesus is dead or did you not get the message?
  Good to be a narrow path, but make sure your actions do not infringe upon the rights of others. You do not have that right reserved. No one does.
  You know, this statement almost warranted a laugh out loud moment, but I guess you don't actually deserve it. The amount of knowledge you refuse is astounding.
  Really? Quit drinking fluids, quit eating food, quit breathing and see if your god will sustain you?

It's not that simple. You can be for God but not even know it. You can be against God and not even know it. You can be for God but more for the people like this thought of being a philanthropist, helping the world but hating God for creating a broken world in the first place. You see it's not that simple.

If you don't believe me, are you saying all the non believers are against God? And if they dont believe Jesus they will not be saved?

Assuming that you answered yes, then I guess your saying all the indigenous people went to hell? I guess Buddha and Confucius went too. Oh and let's not forget about Bush.

Correct me if I'm wrong, will all the American soldiers that have killed people go to hell? How about considering the circumstances that God planned for war in order for us to learn how to love?

can you tell me if you are for God in a hospital? ... war? ...hunger? My answer is yes, for the many reasons of his Godliness.

  Born again Bush said you are for us or against us, why?
  
  I am not for killing one million Iraqi on their soil when no Iraqi has killed an American on US soil. You can't even call it a biblical eye for an eye; I call it mainly murder in a uniform
  
  When everyone is god then there no reason to kill people
  More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason in human history that is insane when you consider there is 1000s of different God and Gods

  I'm thinking it may be time to start posting the rheems of hate filled verses from the bible. (which will be immediately branded by the faithful as "out of context.)
  
  I could follow that with the same sort of tripe from the quoran which the same "faithful" will attack as "proof of muslim hate" like a pack of ravenous beasts!

  When most people sense there is a God OR Gods,for so long then by consensus there is likely some form of God or Gods or everyone is god or a form of metaphor of god

  Science has a fair idea where this "god" is and it's function.
  
  Part of an unadapted fight and flight mechanism creates a mythical representation of an existing archetype.
