Oh i see.... so he killed my child? Good reasoning.

No He didn't.
Fair enough. He did, he didn't, who gives a fuck?
James 1:17
"17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
This is meant to be evidence or proof of what? From my life long studies i will be within all reason to state this explains the sun. Tha father of lights that doesn't cause darkness- that makes things live, grow and shine..... He's talking about the sun in the sky during the day. As i said earlier worship of the sun is hardly a new thing- just about every religion of old holds the sun in extreme regard. That's all James is talking about. Whether it's the sun or god it still is an answer to exactly this: Fuck all.
He would never do such thing.
How quick we are to forget the story of Noah, Lots wife, and so on and so forth. Ezekiel expresses gods hatred of man to such extent but....... As you said.... The old testament is nothing to do with you christians.... Must be a different god they were talking about. I don't care if god is malicious- it's just your blind love of someone who could be such a way. You'll never understand- you preach as you like to answer your own questions- never will you realise your own interpretations mean fuck all to anyone else.
Who told her about Santa Claus? Anyone told me about God when I was 2, 3 years old. But many told me about Sanat Claus.
The church did. They said how it was to do with christ yada yada yada. It would seem even the religious faction believe in lying when it suits their purpose and gets those of young or fragile mind to believe everything they say.
The others will give you a set of rules and tell you a bunch of things that are not necessarily true.
How convenient. Same old, same old..... They're wrong, you're right. I really hate having to stoop to such level to point out someones ignorance but boy- you just take the cake. You have ABOSLUTELY ZERO right to class other religions as mistaken, or wrong and yourself as right. To do so is simply to prove your own pathetic self righteous ignorance.
Christ wasn't like that. If they are followers of Christ, they should follow Christ's steps.
Where did i mention the dead hippy? I said: I find christians to be........ I didn't say some 2000 year old jew was, i said you were, the people who have the same ignorance you do. Them, not the dead jew.
"Accepted" is feel that others have interest in you and support you and so on. Is to feel Loved. It is the opposite of "condemned".
To feel loved? Why not say: Loved.... Accepted is a job interview, not love. But away from the petty issue why in the world would i care if you sad bunch of assholes were interested in me? You have NOTHING to offer. Shallow, self righteous, closed minded individuals with nothing to substantiate your human worth. Maybe you'll all do good in the after life- but here you're pointless.
You wrote that you were seeking Him very clearly...!
What i seek is truth. Big fucking difference.
You never had your children running away from you, have you? Well, God always had.
I take it you've never been a part of the human race? When i was a kid i got pissed off one day and ran away from home. My father came and found me....... He searched all day and all night... He never gave up- he never expected me to just 'want' to go home. he found me and instead of condemning me or having a go he gave me a hug. He worked the problems out. He did NOT shy away from his responsibility as a father. Do NOT even try to compare the pathetic nature of your god to a real father. God doesn't even come close.
Ok then. Again, it is your choice...
Absolutely.
Even if your faith is weak, He will help you and never abandon you.
I think my above last few posts clearly demonstrate you're talking utter garbage. You had no answers then- and much that i give you my respect for being the only one with the balls to try- you still couldn't manage. All of a sudden we're back to square one?? And you continue spouting absolute cobblers.
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
He calls himself god? Or the son of? If so why is he so ignorant to have to ask why a human would doubt? It's human nature. he'd know that if he weren't so plainly stupid. The geezer didn't even know what religion he was... think he's worth the attention? Lol, not likely.
No. People that tests Him are people that don't believe in Him. Without the belief, it just doesn't work. You have first to believe, then it will happen. If you put Him to test, is because you don't believe, so it won't work. If you do for real and an unbeliever see this, then you will be able to impress the opinion to others. The motives here are very important.
The fact remains..... all you have is talk.. One big mouth, no action. No substance other than a book, badly translated, that you then interpret to please yourself. You help no-one but pretend you do a worldwide service. How noble of you.
53 And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.
I wouldn't be laughing if my child had died, regardless of what anyone said. I have proof of this.... i had to watch my child die. If someone said: "he's still alive" I wouldn't laugh about it.
56 Her parents were amazed; but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
And thus the author completely went against Jesus command. Tell no-one! If nobody was told how comes it's in the bible for everyone on the planet to read? Seems to me like Jesus needs to learn who to trust and who not to. I wonder if Luke is in hell for sharing this bit of info Jesus commanded not to share.
And also, this is what happens when you try to test God without believing...
Acts 19:11-16
"11 God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
13 But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. "
You call that an answer to anything? Fair enough.
All you have is an old, piss poor translated book. Nothing else. Trust it, love it, belieeeeeeeeeve it. Throw your life into a book, enjoy.
