Control what your thoughts dwell on because - what we think manifests in our lives. Think you are a victim, you will be a victim. Think you are dumb you will be dumb. Think you can't buy food, you won't be able to get any food. Believe all your needs will be provided for and they will be. Expect it and know it. Remembering that, will keep you from being like the Greek guy and jumping out a window with your mother. This is a lie! You MUST go through The Person of Jesus Christ! Only Christians have to go through Jesus Christ. Do you mean to say, God doesn't give a rat's ass about Jewish, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc? Where did Jesus say go around and judge all your brothers and condemn them and consider them no more than a pile of shit? He said if someone disagreed, shake off your sandals and go to the next town. (Sandal shaking noise) I'll be moving on to another town. The point is clear - this is not about what you or I *think* - the right question is, "Who Is God and What does He Want?" |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12339688 United States 05/26/2012 09:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just had another thought. If God is in Heaven blessing people with babies. How does he decide which babies are given to Christian parents, based on some people's belief give them the upper hand in getting back to heaven? Does he only give Jewish, Muslims, Buddhist, and Hindus the babies he doesn't want back in Heaven? Something has to be wrong with that theory. No disrespect really. I just know it isn't that way. Everybody goes to Heaven. Hell is an abscence of God, which can only exist if a human acts and thinks with their ego. |
KoFFee_ User ID: 1373078 United States 05/26/2012 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good Morning, AG The salvation Jesus brings is the salvation from sin. I heard the gospel message and realized I am a sinner and could not save myself. That is when I fell on my knees, repented of my sins and asked Christ into my heart. God saved me and since that day I was given a new birth, I have been learning what it is to know my Savior and Lord. It is only by His Holy Spirit, when I walk in Him, am I able to do that which is pleasing to God. Good deeds, or trying to be good enough will not save us. "he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit" Titus 3:5 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" Ephesians 2:9 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
