I don't.

So, it serves dual purposes for me in that. But it also satisfies my need to communicate the truth of God. So I actually feel relieved when I write His words that He's bestowed upon my heart. His words are too great for me to selfishly hold onto and hide in my heart. I must share them. I joyously share them. I joyously share my God with anyone who would accept His salvation. He is my desire and I will always follow Him.

To Jesus be the victory!

Not everyone does. But some do. And that's what's important. Also, every word I type, every phrase I utter, every sentence and paragraph that I so eloquently put together; these are practice for my upcoming books that I will write on apologetics and the Bible and on religion in politics.

It's a good life.

I am content in my Lord.

Lol, I wish you luck finding a publisher! You'll need it....

There are many Christian publishers out there. But I can publish on the Internet very easily.

Thank you for your good wishes upon my endeavor!

Well, I am content in myself, and the people that surround me, not some distant, old, white-bearded guy that apparently watches over us 24/7. We already have the NSA for that.

God isn't some "guy". We are made in His image, but no one has seen God except His Son, Jesus...who is God (sorry for the confusable, but that really is how it is). But I know God through the Son. I know the Son through the Holy Spirit. And I know the Holy Spirit through my spirit because the Lord's Spirit is in me and indwells my spirit. I hold the Word of God in my Heart and I hold His Spirit in my soul. I see the moving of God in this world and I feel the presence of His majesty wherever I go.

Unlike you, I know God. Unlike you. I experience God. Unlike you, I accept God. God is my savior. God is my friend. God is my God. He is "I am". There is none above Him and I know Him personally.

I know my God better than you know yourself. And He knows me better than I know myself. And if you'll accept Him into your heart, you will feel the indwelling of His Spirit mingling with yours. If you will accept the salvation that He offers to you, you will hear His Word in your heart. If you believe in His name, you will finally recognize what you now completely ignore.

An unsaved person does not recognize God. But God recognizes him. And God knocks on the door to your heart. If you genuinely take that "leap of faith", you will be granted an instantaneous recognition of the Kingdom of Heaven and of God and your name would be written in the Lamb's Book of Life...a book that records your permanent status as a member of the Family of God.

I know you don't believe anything I am saying. But if you would just open your heart and put aside your doubts -- for real -- for just one moment -- and sincerely ask Him into your heart, I know that your eyes would be opened to the truth. Because the Lord is calling you.

Will you answer Him?

GOD IS:

FATHER - SON - SPIRIT

MAN IS:

MIND - BODY - LIFE

MAN IS IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.

*********************************************

But we aren't perfect.

Man is sinful. Man is in rebellion against God.

Hitler was a sinner. Hitler was in rebellion against God.

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. But not everyone accepts His salvation.

Hitler didn't accept Jesus' free gift of salvation.

But Mother Theresa did.

Note the contrast?

*********************************************

I accepted Jesus' free gift of salvation and I have been born-again into the Kingdom of God.

And you can, too.

The main reason that economic policy is more important, is that people are happier. If I have more money, it means I can spent less time working, more time playing tennis. More time minding my family, more time listening to the arts, more time watching spectacular films. Social policy, is of no importance, it isnt the governments job to say who can have an abortion, or who can get married, or who can drink.

Lets cut the religion bashing... We have our differences, and are allowed to believe in what makes you happy. Whether it is right or wrong is your opinion. This is a politic memes thread folks!

Proof?

After I testified as a witness to the facts, I then made a simple plea for your soul. That was not my witness. That was a bonus. My goal isn't just to defend the Gospel but to encourage you to accept it for yourself.

Christianity is not just a religion. It is a mission...to save the world.

And that starts with you.

I am happy to talk about it and I privately will share my personal testimony upon request. But the point in this set of posts is partially apologetics and partially witnessing. And that means I'm defending the Gospel (as said above) and spreading the Gospel.

To you, that's probably apples and oranges. But for me, Jesus is the answer to your question of proof. Because Jesus is the answer to everything that matters.

Yeah, Mother Theresa was a mean woman who didn't give women in childbirth painkillers because she thought it "cleansed" them of sin. What a mean person, eh?

Wow. You are absolutely the first person I've ever heard have one bad thing to say about Mother Theresa. She was a woman of God that had such compassion and mercy for others. She is remembered as a hero around the world by billions of people for her graciousness and willingness to give completely of herself without reservation. If she were to have met you, she would have had tender words for you and would have given anything she could to make your life more beautiful. Because that was the kind of woman she was.

I'm not even a Catholic. I'm a protestant. Yet I wish I was as good of a person that Mother Theresa was. The only other person I know that is even close to her in graciousness and in godliness is my own mother. But I don't talk about her in places like this. I won't give you or anyone else the opportunity to soil her good image.

That aside, you have no idea how low you had to stoop to try to drag Mother Theresa through the mud. I'd sooner tolerate that behavior said about me or my own Pastor even, than I would of Mother Theresa.

You should think twice before throwing out such statements like that in the future.

Agreed. But again, a lot of these social policies are funded by the government. That I do not agree with. Planned parenthood for example, is a private business, shouldnt be funded by the gov't

I agree 100% with you, lets go back to the 80s, Government isnt the Solution, Government is the problem
