contd...Watching God is enough for u to believe in him. Coz watching God is a miracle. If God appears to everyone. Then its no more a miracle and u will want God to do more sighs and wonders for you to believe in him. Just think if God appears to every students studying in a college. Everyone one of them may ask him to make them their college topper. Now doesn't it get totally messed up?

As u know there are many gospel people who says they have seen God. They say that God appeared to them and changed their way of living. I believe that at least half of them are saying the truth. Now u may ask then y dont he show himself to every disbeliever. U wish God to reveal himself to everyone???? Just think how funny it will be then. People will start to behave same as have people behaved when Moses showed sighs of God. contd

@Vonniesistah If you are seriously looking for answers and seeking God, you will find Him and all that is true. If you are looking for contradictions, errors and things Bible verses that people have twisted, you will find exactly what your looking for. You will either find God or you will not. I hope you are serious about finding the true God of the Bible. God has nothing to hide and as His represenative I will do my best to answer any questions you have. I don't have all the answers.

@Vonniesistah I do not have enough charaters to expalin Born Again. Born Again is dying to the things of this world and getting a new heart and new start with God. God writes new laws on your heart and when you change from within, rather than on the outside (trying to be good and do good) you have a born again experience that is everlasting. God will open your eyes to the many mysteries and parables who spoke about in the Bible. Be careful, not all Christians are really Christians.

@Vonniesistah Hebrews chapter 11 expalins what pleases God. It's Faith. The people in the Old Testament where saved the same way they are saved today. By faith. God loves those who believe without seeing. Not some blind emotional belief. But the kind of belief that says, I acknowledge my own sinful nature. I offended you. I am sorry. Forgive me and revile yourself to me. When you do this. God will send the Holy Spirit into your heart and change you from within. That is being born again.

@Vonniesistah We don't go to hell because we don't believe in God, we go to hell because we have sinned against God and punishment is necessary. For those who place their trust in Jesus Christ for eternal salavation are those who are saved from the punishment. God/Jesus Christ accomplishes two things when He died for us. He saved us from eternal seperation in hell and grants eternal life in heaven with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Why do you refuse to recieve this free gift?

[kimkerchner]

@Vonniesistah You see God as a bully father. God sees you and me as wretched sinners who broke his laws, commands and children who are disobediant. We deserve punishment like all children who rebel or disobey. Because God loves us (his children) discipline is necessary otherwise God would not be just. God must punish sin or He would be a bad God. Sin like murder, adultry, whatever can not go unpunished. Sending Christ to pay for our sins against Him was the ultimate love offering.

@Vonniesistah When you fly in a big plane, do you make sure there is a pilot, or do you go to your seat and hope you land safely? When you get in your car, do you check the breaks to make sure they work or do you trust the car to work as it should? When you eat a meal, do you inspect the food to make sure it is safe or do you eat it? With respect, you have faith in a big plane, your car and fast food, but you need facts and proof that God is who he says he is? Why is it different with God?

@kimkerchner ...if he has nothing to hide...he should have no problem answering my questions...if he loves us and cares and doesnt want us to go to hell, he should have no problem bursting from the sky say "here i am!"... honestly...i dont want u to change ur views on god, i like how u believe in something and a better life...i believe there is a god...but not the god explained in the bible, thats why im agnostic...keep with the comments tho...i love it

[Vonniesistah]

@kimkerchner ...why does God act more like a king/ruler than a real father...maybe his methods r different from my dads but he basically says "if u believe in me then i shall protect u...if not...fuck u go burn in hell..." what kinda dad is that? once again im not him so can't really speak for him, but why would he leave us here confused and begging for answers, only giving us cute little riddles that make no sense. so we keep believing in him from fear, since we cant answer the riddles
