   Romans 1:26-2:1
   English Standard Version (ESV)
   26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
   
   28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

   2 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

   Genesis 1:1-31
   English Standard Version (ESV)
   The Creation of the World
   
   1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
   
   3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
   
   6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse[a] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made[b] the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
   
   9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,[d] and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
   
   11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants[e] yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
   
   14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,[f] and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
   
   20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds[g] fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
   
   24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
   
   26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
   
   27 So God created man in his own image,
       in the image of God he created him;
       male and female he created them.
   28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

    English Standard Version (ESV)
    Submission to the Authorities
    
    13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

God didn't have a family.  God created everything in this world.  God created Adam first, then he took Adam's rib out to make Eve and then he made animals and Adam named the animals too.  God told Adam why he shouldn't eat from the forbidden tree.  Eve ate it and gave it to Adam and that is why we have sin on this Earth because they listened to the serpent.  God created everything on this Earth.  The Holy Bible is God breathed.

Now your conversations are based on personal attacks and conflicts and you did this to yourself, sorry.  I am sorry, if I ever offended you, JMK26.  You put false testimony all over my inbox through email and I reported to you to the authorities and I could of took you to court, but I wouldn't do it.  I believe in God and I will tell you about it.  My dad was a Mennonite, so they were strictly the Holy Bible.  My mom was Lutheran and not as strict.  We were raised in a Methodist church.  I got sprinkled, when I was like eleven years old.  I understand what faith is about because my dad taught at us at very young agar about the Holy Bible, he would quizzes on bible stories, he would want us to live out the gospel and he longs for us to read through the Holy Bible. We fell away from the Methodist church because there was going to be a woman preacher preaching and that is against the Holy Bible.  We went to a Christian Church, but we left because they wanted money from us.  Then I went to baptist church and I didn't like it because I only saw a lot of hyprocrites that went to that church.  Then we went back to another Christian church, but left there because I was being judged and pushed away because I was dating a guy that was bad news and they were right about it.  I hate when people judge you right there because they are telling secrets in front of you and looking at you weird too. I went to other churches, but didn't stay because there was to much conflict I had with them too.  A lot of people have pushed me away from church, but I still stand firm in my faith in God.  We are saved by God's mercy through our faith in God.  Don't let people's faults get in the way of a relationship with God. Thank you so much.  God bless you.

When I was four years old my parents found out that I had learning disability in math and English, so when I went to school my parents immediately got me into a speech class and got me into a resource room too.  I truly believe in God because that was the only thing I could turn too because people made fun of me for my looks, teased me for being a resource room and they really for me up inside too.  I wouldn't want to tell anybody about it because I didn't want anybody feel my pain.  I turned away from God because I hated God for making me go through this pain and I wanted to kill myself too.  My mom and I were not getting a long and I wanted to end it all, but God spoke to me through the Holy Spirit and told me that he has plans for me and never turned away from God ever since because God saved me from Hell.  When I was younger I was close to God and I would hate to disobey him.  God has plans for you, if you pick up your cross to follow him.  He got me out of physical and abusive relationships with guys and now I am focused more on him too.  I was in abusive relationship, but I did the abusing because he called me a cheater and so on, but God blessed me with a Christian counselor and got me out of those kind of situations abd never went back to it.  I have been with party guys that used me, they were very harmful with their words, destroyed my relationship with God and God got me out of it.  I put myself in these situations, but God got me out of those situations because he loves me.  I have sexual immorality problems, but I am still working on it.  I usually tell people when they first meet me.  God has blessed me with wonderful resource room teachers that help overcome things, family, love, church, friends, abutting that comes my way, I know there is a God out there and I love God too.  God is not here to harm you, but he wants to give you an abundant life, if you truly trust in him.  If you want to learn more than just ask me.  Talk to you later.

          Well the bible does say that "before him nothing was made" so my guess is that he was made in the beginning by God. The word is what they called him. Why? I think because he was to be the example of what God is as well as what he says, from the beginning. He was made "a bit above the angels", therefore, a bit below God. In the beginning he said, Let us make man in our image. The spirit of the son was here first right after God.

       Your link said nothing about the birth of God. The most stricking thing that it did say was
       
       "Lots of Christian women DO have pain in childbirth, and many have died in childbirth over the centuries.  Some still die today.  Why?
       
       Mainly, because they have bought into the world's deceptions about childbirth.
       
       Christian women still have pain in childbirth because they continue to be deceived, and because they choose to give birth passively according to the ways of the world.  Also, not enough Spiritually-based, self-empowering childbirth classes are available, and women are not educating themselves about how to change their birth experience.  In a very small percentage of women, there is an actual complication which would cause pain, but normally the body will use the pain to direct the woman how to resolve the situation.
       
       Your birth can be an empowering, transforming experience.  Educate yourself about how to give birth safely without medical intervention."
       
       That is probably the worst bit of advise I have ever read. I've witnessed 3 natural child births and let me tell you they are painful. Passing a baby through that tiny hole has to be painful and it's a lie to say it's not painful.
       
       That being said the link made no mention of God's birth.

    To add to Genaea's point, I would have to say that Christians will continue to find themselves under attack because of how others view and have viewed Christians for some time now.  Sadly, I have people share with me that my religion clouds my judgment or limits me from being true to myself.  However, I recall that Jesus said that his disciples would face trouble, trials and tribulation in this world for His namesake.  You could help the poor, pray for the imprisoned, speak up for the disabled, and love those who are gay more than anyone else, but the view is that you are a Christian.  Your good deeds may not matter so much or they may "make you the exception," but for the most part Christ is the problem and has been the problem since first century Jewish leaders got wind of the disciples of Jesus preaching and teaching "in that name." It's not so much about you but about what you have become convinced in and believe in without shame- the name of Jesus.

       It certainly is a divisive, "you are either with me or you are against me," belief system. Most Christians seem very comfortable with intentionally causing this sort division and the conflict that goes with it, which is a shame really - instead of uniting us, they prefer to divide. It has been this way since the first Christian burnt down a Pagan Temple.
       
       Although - I think "under attack," is somewhat of an exaggeration, but it seems many Christians also have a rather strong martyr complex and feel "under attack," just because some one tells them their beliefs are nonsense.

    Philippians 2
    English Standard Version (ESV)
    Christ's Example of Humility
    
    2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[b] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
    
    Lights in the World
    
    12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
    
    14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
    
    Timothy and Epaphroditus
    
    19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's[c] proven worth, how as a son[d] with a father he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
    
    25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.
