God exists??? (350)
goodguywithheart: In any event , I am wayyyy too intelligent to believe in ANY external influence. I am proud of the fact I do not allow myself to be brainwashed by my society to believe in some kind of WIZARD in the sky. Religion is just an excuse to create more boundaries in a world where we need less. I dare say if there were no religion the world would be better off not worse off. Look at the animal kingdom , they kill mainly just for dinner or to protect. What religion tells me is that people are stupid and need some kind of spiritual guidelines to do the right thing. What a laugh. Most wars are because of religion, talk about hypocrisy.
Most wars are not because of religion, but for lack of reason.
It seems reasonable to me that if people lived by reason instead of faith, a great many tragedies would be averted and an equal number of advances would be made, especially in human behavior.

just because god may not come as you say dosent mean hes not there the bible says god is there he hars all he is everywhere and hes to powerful mighty and awsome to show himself, our mind couldnt comprehend the awe of his holyness but you know when someon prays to him hes listening and it may seem as if hes not there but he is, you just have to listen with your heart, so dose god exist, absolutly he dose, think of it this way if you say god dosent exist just cause you cant see him, then thats like saying dose air exist you cant see it? just beacause you may not belive dosent men he dosent exist.

BeautifulEri: I just received this and thought it was great, would love to share it with you guys....WHAT A GREAT ANALOGY OF GOD FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW
BY ROBIN WILLIAMS NO LESS
This is one of the best explanations
of why God allows pain and suffering
that I have seen. It's an explanation
other people will understand.
A man went to a barbershop to have
his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work,
They talked about so many things
and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on
the subject of God, the barber said:
'I don't believe that God exists.'
'Why do you say that?'
asked the customer.
'Well, you just have to go out in
the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists,
would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither
suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine loving a God who
would allow all of these things.'
The customer thought for a moment,
but didn't respond because he didn't
want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer
left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop,
he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed
beard.
He looked dirty and un-kept.
The customer turned back and entered
the barber shop again and he said
to the barber:
'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'
'How can you say that?'
asked the surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber.
And I just worked on you!'
'No!' the customer exclaimed.
'Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no
people with d irty long hair
and untrimmed beards,
like that man outside.'
'Ah, but barbers DO exist!
What happens is, people
do not come to me.'
'Exactly!'-
affirmed the customer.
'That's the point!
God, too, DOES exist!
What happens, is, people
don't go to Him
and do not look for Him.
That's why there's so much pain
and suffering in the world.'
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING!
'Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet.'

Stop saying God is a he...please
This God source is in you...you are the creator...it's a higher form of energy that we are connected to...I've experienced it.

God allows PAIN,,,because it all boils down to,
No PAIN........NO GAIN.

jimbhoy: Not in my opinion he doesnt
Try to think of it this way Jim...God, The Father of Jesus, who is the begining and end of more than we can interpret created us...HE knows us...He can relate to us..Yet he's so amazingly much much more. So say you you started a friendship with a really cool person...Would you expect only them to do good things for you 100% of the time let alone 80 or 90%. I'm guessing you would at leat give them a chance to talk to you if you knew there was something really cool about this person...Especially a beautiful girl.
God, let alone any human will not continue to give good things to someone who doesn't believe...I've been there too. He wants nothing but good for you in the end so please realise and believe it. He might even do what he did for me..I really pray not) but He gives Satan permission to set you in bad situations just hoping you"ll ask him b4 you fall asleep to help.
He works on everybody different but always remember none of us are perfect nor ever will be...We can only try.
I'll pray He begins his work 4u immediately.
God Bless!

Here's the most common problem Men in particular have a problem dealing with.
The simple thought of a Godly woman puting the Guidlines of a man named Jesus before himself.
How can a man control his woman if he is not worshipped and idolized first?
And Oh No! What if the woman I love get's to heaven and worships our Lord and Savior Jesus and not me.
I understand it's tough to think about but remember...All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us...ALL
Who really knows what'll happen when we get there..And the day will come when we are forced in our entire soul and spirit
to make that decision..trust me..I've been a survivor of 3 near death experiences..So I've almost been in the wrong place dude.
It's not funny.
Another problem is the fear of..Oh Oh, what will my"friends think if I accept the Lord as my personal savior???
What will my familly think??? People usually don't accept positive change as well as negative for others in the worldly,"fleshly" perspective.
Trust me on that.
It's pretty simple to start getting blessed by the Heavenly Father.
First step...Lose the robot mentality if there is one that goes something like this....."What about me What about me What about me yaddayaddayadda."
I pray this note bring you lots of success in all you set out to do.

There's everything going on on the planet...There's terrible things happening and there's MIRACLES happening every second ( see MIRCLES FORUM ) but we've always got a choice. Whatever we focus our attention creates more of the same. If e focus on all the crap it will only create more crap and we can't afford that now as this beautiful planet is at a critical time.
That's why I started the MIRACLES forum as I know from experience that miracles are happening all around us if we onlyy open our eyes.
We can choose to focus our attention on the wonderful things no matter how small they are, and , like a snowball they create more.
HEY.....WE ARE BEING BREATHED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
Isn't that a miracle;
And we don't even have to think about it!
God, spirit, angels, life force, whatever you want to label it.....
To me it is all the same thing

Our Brains, which art in our heads,
treasured be thy name.
Thy reasoning come.
Thy best you can do be done
on earth as it is.
Give us this day new
insight to help us resolve conflicts and
ease pain.
And lead us not
into supernatural explanations;
deliver us from denial of logic.
For thine is the kingdom of reason,
and even though thy powers are limited,
and you're not always glorious
you are the best evolutionary adaptation
we have for helping this earth now and
forever and ever.
So be it.

Alot of good words of wisdom Sir. I still believe in Santa Clause Too

Remember...If All scientists confessed that Jesus is theie savior...Most fear the chance of losing their job. Make any sence???

one's proffession neither confirms nor denies wisdom in other areas. Being a basball player or actor doesn't automatically give you the wisdom, much less proof of anything. Even authority in their chosen felid can misinformed, so you can stick your 'profession' card back into the deck.
