Quoting: Greatest I am Most of us inherited whatever God we follow from our parents. IOW, we never chose the Gods we follow regardless of which God that is. If following and choosing God is important, then should you not judge the various God's and choose the best of what is on offer? Are you comfortable with letting your most important decision in life to be made by others? Regards DL Ill follow whichever one wont burn me alive forever. You know..any god that is not an overbearing sadistic worship demanding rules oriented megalomaniac control freak with a torture fetish. That pretty much strikes em ALL of the list.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49471606 Every God is tailored to each person. Whatever that may be even if nothing. Why try describing this color, it would be impossible. Tailored to each person yet the vast majority are wearing mommy and daddy's clothes. Yours is also a family hand me down is it not? Regards DLe |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46370597 United States 02/09/2014 05:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You all crack me up. Sifting throu all these gods and religions. You have to have the relationship with almight God - who is a spirit. Hes not an idol, he isnt a religion. Finding God isnt in all these complicated discussions, numbers et cetera. Those have their place. God speaks when the words resonate to your core in truth, despite the things you WANT to believe. Mark 4:30 - 32 "30 Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less then all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater then all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it" You are IN..... this world But you are not OF...this world. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46370597 United States 02/09/2014 05:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I didn't "choose a god" There is only one who made us all and his spirit speaks truth. It speaks NOT concerning earthly desire or of the flesh. But truth, which penetrate earthly desire, comfort and pleasure. There are good reasons for such. The world says "maximize pleasure and minimize pain"........... very dangerous human state right there. |
