what ever happened to conversation? it's like no-one has anything to say any more. i was at work today on pretzel depot with Ashton, just me and him standing there for 7 hours. with almost no customers. you know what we did to pas the time?....we played "I SPY" that's right i shit you not. We could have been talking about anything, politics, religion, or our thoughts on human nature. We could have discussed what we were planning on doing with our lives, or philosophized about the meaning of love and breauty, of thought and sentient existence

but nooope

I FREAKING SPY!

Kiss your Knee.
It makes you happy
lol it's just hard to debate casue when i get into it i fele passionet and i argu and bring up points. buth ten it takes liek a day for the next message, and by thne i'm calmed down and i forget wherei was goign iwith it and what i already said and i loose the mood =\ but when i have soem time to answer it all i will probably tonight

If u know what I mean ;]
ok. take your time.
:D

1 what I meant is that until recently I was just your average girl trying to get through life. It wasn’t until just recently that I really got passionate about God

2 it’s a book in the bible. Written by Solomon

3 if you don’t believe that God listens, cares or even exists then praying is a strange thing to do. I’m not saying it is bad. It is good. You probably pray more then I do lately. But wouldn’t it be cooler if you knew a powerful loving creator was listening and was taking your requests into account. Doesn’t that make praying worthwhile?

4 I’m really glad you said that. Don’t worry about angering me I have many friends that aren’t Christian and I love the fact that I can have these conversations with them. If anything these conversations make me sad that beautiful people I know cant see the God that I know and love.

5) how would you trick someone into believing that you walked on water? How would you trick someone into believing that you took a blind man and made him see? How would you trick people into believing that you took someone’s severed ear and reattached it in front of their eyes? Lazerath was dead for three days and Jesus rose him from the dead. I’m not angry but tell me, even now, how would you fake that?
If Jesus was not the son of God, he lied to thousands, hoodwinked the people he trusted the most and led them to their deaths. That is not a Good man. That is a shit head.


6) Jesus was actually probably born in may.

7) didn’t want to answer? That is ok

8) Jacobs had a son called joseph. He had a dream that all of his older brothers would eventually bow down to him. Which of course would piss them. So they sold him to slavery. At that point joseph has to be saying “WTF? What up God? You gave me this sign that I would be greater then all my brothers and now I have been taken from everything I love!? Do you hate me?” it doesn’t actually say that but that has to be going through his mind.
But by being in Egypt he was able to help pharaoh, and be second in command over Egypt.

Issac knew that God told him to kill his son. That must have been the hardest thing in the world to (almost) do. But he had faith in a LOVING all knowing God. Who not only knows best but also cares about it. And who sees the story from beginning to end.

I’m not saying I would kill my first born.

Those men weren’t terrorists. They were soldiers. And they don’t have a God. It is Law in China not to have faith. That is why they are killing the Tibetan monks.

Its complicated and I cant pretend to know all the answers. It isn’t that he wont love you for doing saving lives. It is that he already loves you like a firstborn son.
And we reject him. Time and time again.
That is how we get into hell. He invites everyone but not everyone accepts. (it gets complicated here with him being all knowing, and outside of time you get into the debate of, being chosen and destiny and calling and stuff) but what it boils down to is he loves you (his son) but he hates you (the sinner)

He is always proud of you cant you see why he would do anything to get you out of harms way. To cut the bonds of sin And let you live. But he cant. he cant force you into anything without forcibly changing you. YOU have to accept him.

To answer your question about why do good?
Christianity comes with LOTS of rules. But only two MATTER. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. And love your God with all your heart, mind soul and strength.

Let me tell you. You will go to hell if you don’t trust God. If you don’t believe that Jesus’ sacrifice is the only way to be purely Good then you will go to hell. Because you can’t earn your way into heaven. That is what I am trying to say. Even saving all the worlds population wont make you any worthier to be with God. We suck.

“what does it matter if they get sick and die”? in the end everyone dies. The only thing that matters is if you love God. Or if you don’t.

Cant you see why I am ranting at you about this? You have so much to give. You are so kind and so nice! I want you to go to heaven. I want you to love God. But nothing I say will MAKE you. You have to be the one to decide.

not everyone goes to heaven. That is why God has given us one more day then yesterday. So people like you (no offence intended) have one more day to choose.

9) whatever twisted image of god Hitler was “following” it was not God.
I’m saying imagine if he did follow the God that tells us to LOVE? How much he could have done
He did twist religion but imagine his potential if he hadn’t
That is the example I was getting at.

consider this: who is “;pure”? no man has the right to judge others because he has sinned. The only person who has the right to do what hittler did is God.
But he promised he never would again.

I don’t like religion either. Don’t go to church much and when I do it is a small local church. But you cant hate God because men stuff up. You cant look at Hitler and say “he was working for ‘God’ all religion sucks”

And it doesn’t matter if you are catholic, protestant, calvanistic, whatever. God doesn’t care which church you went to or which version of the bible you read.
This isn’t about what man has done in the past.
I want to know about YOU.


10) I didn’t understand Ecclesiastes either. It is a book saying

Why fish? Nothing matters
Why work? Nothing matters
Why love? Nothing matters
Why care? Nothing matters.

WITHOUT GOD!!!

That is the point. What is the difference between a homeless loveless poor bitter starving life
And a healthy loving wealthy satisfied life?

Both lives you are dead in the long run.

we are only alive for 80-90 years. For those 80-90 years what you do is everything. But I’m talking about eternity!
Does anyone remember who invented fire?
Do you think anyone will remember anything you did in a thousand years? God will

God gave us life for a reason. There IS reason behind why live.

Without God there is no point.


This is heavy stuff. And I’m not trying to scare you. This took me years (and a lot better explanation) to get my head round.

But I really want you to ask yourself why you get up in the morning?
What makes you want to do what you are doing?

Feel free not to answer(or even think about)

It makes you happy
"then the lord said to moses,"i will rain down bread from heaven for you"" Exodus 16

"taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. they all ate and were satisfied." mathew 14

"and he answered, It is written :man does not live on bread alone but on the word of God" Luke 4

i beleive that God does look after those who serve him. i believe that if you live for God he WILL provide everything you need.

this isn't cute sunday school crap for me anymore. this is real. this is the power and the love of the LIVING God.
he has moved oceans
he has walked on water
he as brought the dead back to life
is it so hard to believe he can provide food for his children?

my friend Jesse told me this story:
burmese border. refugee camp that he visited. one couple was held at gun point and told to renounce their faith or die. they did not turn from God.
they took the husband away and turtured him for days.
came back to the camp and told the wife to renounce her faith or they would kill him
she turned to them and said. "tell my husband i love him and i'll see him in heaven"

i do not beleive that people like this die for sunday school crap. i believe they LIVE for God.

all of the happiest people i know have nothing but God.

i pray one day i will have faith like that.

i pray every day that someday you will too.

um....i have many comments i could make, but i ....hm..

well for one thing i didn't realize your faith was quite THAT extreme.

please don't preay that i some day find faith, i don't really want to put god before everything.

i pray for peopkle that need things, i pray to ask for help, and pray to apologize for things i've done, i do these prayrs like 3 or 4 days a week, and i believe tha that is enough. i do't want my entire life dedicated to someone that, i'm sorry to say i'm not entirly sure exists.

i'm glad you are happy with wat you are doing and you obviously don't care what other people thingk and that is respectible.

but hte degree of faith you mentioned in the camp with the wife and the husband...that's the kind of faith that scares me. when peopl believe so much tat there is a God just because ra bunch of people in the past have said so, they're willing to let other people die for him. that's whuy i think atheists should be incharge of government, becasue peopl take religoin too much into acount. they kill and die for someone that other people tell them exists. just like millions of people told us santa clause exists.

the first thing i did when i found out santa clause wasn't real, was assume that meat God wasn't ral either and my parents said "no there is a God" and i couldn't be more confused. becasue it was just as hard to believe just as fa rfetched as santa clause.


i'm sorry to at all ofendyou, i'm just giving my opinion, but i think God was just made up thow ever many years ago the same reason the greek and egyptian gods were, to explain whyat science could not, only God's religion stayed and grew around the world.

at the risk of sounding ignorant for forgetting thir names. but in the bible there's a story of a man sacrificing his son for god. this scares me. This acctualy literally scares me, that people can do that becasue a voice they cvan't hear some how telss them to. and this religion, this faith, is in the heads of the people that run omy country. that choose what happens to mye and my family. and that scares me!

nothing should have htat power no matter how kind or peaceful or wise they are. because there will always be peopkle to mis enterprate them or asume they'd want this or that. there will always be people to corupt a good message.

i'm sorry but i think God should have stopped at "do good things and don't kill people"

If u know what I mean ;]
1)tell you the truth a few months ago it wasn't that strong.

2) try reading ecclesiastics. it is really depressing but really powerful.

3) if you don't really believe in God and you don't think that he has any real importance in your life why do you pray?

4) don't for any second think that i am trying to buly you into believing in God. i have never seen a good Christian grow out of someone telling them they have to believe. i am just expressing my opinion and if i say something that offends you tell me and i will shut up straight away. :)

5) that kinda faith is scary. but lets face it God is scary, death is scary sin is scary and hell is scary. Faith is the only way to life. i really believe this. i really believe that there is nothing i can do to deserve anything but eternal damnation. nothing i can do without God.
i never believed in santa clause so i can't really sympathies.
i grew up with people telling me that God was real. not at home but at school and at my grandmothers. but it was like someone told me about julius ceaser. i believed them in the loose sense of the word but i didn't BELIEVE them. it wasn't until i met God through other people and through the experiences that have happened to me, that i BELIEVED in God. i don't believe in God because the bible says, i beleive in God because i have seen him in life. he is LIVING in my life.

5.5) side note. there are 100 times more historical references to Jesus Christ than there are to Julia ceaser. so you have to be stupid not to believe that Jesus was a real MAN. and twelve friends of his died horrible deaths because they beleived he really GOD. this is historically true. these men knew Jesus the man as friends. i think they would no what they were talking about.

6) st Nic was a real man. he was then idolised and re molded by people like coca cola to be the fat man in the red suit. it is silly that parents tell their kids that santa exists when he doesn't. but what it comes down to is JESUS loves you whether you are naughty or nice. santa is just used to keep kids good round christmas.

7) other gods are one thing that confuses me beyond anything else. i think that these people beleive that Ra is a God. but i know there is only one God. one of us has to be wrong. what if it is me?
i think that and i tremble with fear. not fear of being wrong but fear of what i just said. how could i doubt God when he died for me. Ra never died for anyone.
creation wouldn't exist without something bigger than it to create it. (i don't beleive in a world where if the earth was tilted one more degree to the left or right it would not sustain life. i do not beleive that that is an accident.)
i don't beleive that what created it doesn't give a shit. that is my mums believe, there is a god he just doesn't care. why would God create something then not give a shit what happens to it?
i belive that Man sucks. in general. left to our own devisings we stuff up alot of the time.
i believe that God was so torn by his love for us (as his creation) and his hate for us (as sinners) that he did the only thing that he could that would justify us to him.

8) those people were Issac and his son Jacob (later named Israel(his sons were the Israelites)) the biggest point to that story was that God STOPPED HIM. God doesn't make us slaughter our children so he knows we trust him. one thing that Phil said to me that really shocked me was that if i went out right now and saved all the nations of the world God wouldn't love me anymore then he does right now. he cant. there is no more then infinate love.

9) this is true. people do misinterpreted things. but look at hitler. (he Gets used alot in examples.) he believed in what he was doing so much he killed thousands of people. imagine if a man with that much passion lived for God. immagine what he could do. and yes people currupt the good message.
people twist Gods word to do terrible things. but that is religion. that isn't God.
i'm not religious. i don't go to church. but i beleive that what i do here now is worth something.

10) back to ecclesiasties (we had a devotion on it this morning.) if you believe that God should stop at doing good things and not killing people then that makes this world, right now better. but when you die, when the people you love have died. no one will remember you for being Good. everything you have will no longer be yours. nothing you have done or will ever do will matter to anyone.

sorry its true.

but God is bigger than that.

everything in this world will rot eventually.

but LIFE is bigger then that.

so when you die and your body has turned back into dust.

where will you be?

heaven or hell? with God or without God.


and i only rant on about this because in the end it is the ONLY THING that matters.


you don't have to answer anything i have written and please don't get angry about anything i have written. this stuff is real for me. i just want you to think about it. :)

Kiss your Knee.
It makes you happy
lol...okay give me aminute it too kme like 5 minutes to read al lthat and i'm trying to rememebr everything i wante dto say....

okay..

1. i'm sorry for what ever happened =[

2. i shouldn't even begin to pronounce that word

3. I pray incase i'm wrong and if i or more importantly someone i care about needs help, then what coould it hurt to pray a little

4. i'm not offneded at all in the least, and don't apologize, i never acused you of bullying me and i never will. if anyhting i'm afraid of angering you, i am doubting your Lord and Savior after all.

5. no ofence but back then science and logic were bare minimum, they were just a few evolutionary steps above cave men. it wouldn't take much to make them think you were a god or magic. also people were a lot more humble ad honest back then if ysomeone told you somehting and they were nice you would believe them. i really don't think it would be hard to convince people backthen that you were the sun of God. i beleive that jesus existed and was a good man maybe even a saint. but i don't think he was the sun of God.

6. i know saint nic was a realy man, i'm named after him acording to my parents. and i know that santa was jut made up as bribery for kids to act better and rememebr jesus's birthday.

7.

8. okay but it stil lscares me that he would even think that i t would be a good idea to kill his own son for God.,

which brings me back to the thing with the terrorists that tortured that man and his wife. now i gethat they would have been killed no matter what they did eventualy. but the fact stands that all those terrorists asked them to do was rnounse their faith.

they killed and tortured them without a second thought, just becuase they wanted them to admit that their God was better than theirs. Religion 9inspired those deaths and Faith carried it out.

and as for the whole God wouldn't love me anymore if i saved united every nation and saved millions of lives. then how do yo uget into hell if he's always proud of you. what's my modivation to ever do anyhting good if he'll never love me any morethan he already does. what's the point in even doing anythign in trying to make the world abetter place? what so people can live longer and be happyer? what does it matteer if they get sick nad die they'll go to heaven.

again sorry if i'm offending you in any way

9. Hitler? hitler is liek the worst possible example, Hitler DID think he was doing God's work.

he currupted God's message and thought that wanted to kil lthe jews who betrayed him. that and he thought that they had better lives and it asn't fair. but hte whoel betraying jesus thing was one of the main parts of his campaine.

i saw a biography about him on the history channel oonce that said he considered hims elf to be helping clense the world, doing God's work in keeping the pure alive and getitgn rid of the non believers and undiserving people. ironicly, in his efforts he was considered the anti christ by some.

but he is just prooving m,y point that people do horrible things out of faith because they words into God's mouth.

i know it's not God himself doing it, but did n't say God scares me, I said religion scares me. the fact that i'm not sure there's a God is irrelavent to the fact that i'm against religion all together, especially large organized religion.

10. I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here you acctualy make life sound meaningless.
