We do need to surrender to God by giving up our self pride, until we can do that we can't ask for forgiveness, forgiveness come through repentance and repentance is giving up self pride. No we do not ever give up our free will, God would not have it like that.And how did we get "self pride"? Who gave it to us?
Quote:No, your family will understand God's justice, as scripture says, there will be no more sorrows nor tears in heaven. If you go to hell it will be of your own choice and in hell you will have the freedom to continue your hatred for God, everyone keeps their free will.Who are you to assume that my family will not miss me. People are not suppose to get sad? Isn't free will connected to sadness? Our emotions are free will, are they not?

I hope you will continue looking and I will always try and give you answers to questions, if you're still confused just ask. I can only give you answers that I understand, God's the only one who can give you those answers that can satisfy.


Quote:How is it that other gods can exist when God says there are no other gods besides me, the creator of the universe and the One who has always been should know, right? If these gods exist why have they never come to me and ask me to believe in them, why did they not give up a sacrifice to save me from my sin.I have counted over 30 creation stories, and have read a few. You think that your is the only one right "because is says so"? You don't know much about them so you didn't make them up in your imagination? You have yet to give me a straight answer on how your god has shown himself. All the see you you making the assumption that god did, because that is what you want to believe.
Quote:See, no one can be 100% on creation. There are so many dam stories about creation and life. So much stuff people believe to be true because it is written down. You believe this because you have hope, and a subconscious fear of hell. You find parallels in your life and convince yourself of a reality from a book. A book that was written by a human, claim to get answers from a god. He saw life and made his own conclusion and story for it, just as all the others did for their god(s) and creation stories.
Quote:The first problem with you assumption, is that only one person wrote the Bible, there have been many authors, before making assumptions about the Bible you should first understand some of the basics about it. There is One who's responsible for the Bible, God.
I'm 100% sure that God created the universe, absolutely no doubts.
I knew there are many, just didn't write it that

Anyway. Many writers makes sense as to why there are so MANY contradictions.
Quote:Asking me to stop believing would be futile, to give up what I know for sure would be stupid of me. Your mistake is that you think I believe in a book to get me through life, you could not be farther from the truth, God is who gets me through life and I find God's solutions in His word, the Bible is an instruction book that God has given to us. I have had rough patches in my life, but far from what many others have experienced so I consider myself fortunate and well looked after by God.I see you have hope. God controls your life so you can go to heaven.
You come off as thinking that you are on the same level with god, why is that? You act like you are Jesus.

Quote:I've lived in the world, actually many years without trusting God for anything, I thought things were fine and believed I knew the truth about life. Then I came to God through Christ and found how wrong I was, life as a greater meaning to me now and I live for others not just myself, being part of God's plan is an honor not a burden, most can't see this but it's true. We can make a burden of anything when things do not please us, in Christianity as long as we will serve God first, which means serving others before ourselves, we will have less time to worry about ourselves and our petty problems.I help others, i'm not bad. I am more of an animal person tho. I guess you evil got likes taking his anger for humans out on animals to, so I have to step up. It's odd though i still don't get why he gave us flawed free will to sin.

Quote:Backing up in life has never solved a thing, and when God is call to us backing up only makes things more difficult. I know you do not understand this hopefully on day you will. If Dawkins was so sure of himself then why did he find the need to attack Christianity, why didn't he just keep up promoting evolution. If he was so sure that Christianity was wrong why would he find it a threat to himself, I've seen his talks and he was self promoting, he never cared for others, it's as plain as the nose on my face. Even if I were an believer in evolution I still would find a man like him repulsive at best, his hatred for Christianity was obvious, on things for sure he now knows the truth, one way or the other.

Don't be silly. I'm not backing up. I am seeing the world, and moving forward. Your god refuses to show himself to me. I have tried to find him, yet all I see is sorrow. Only when I take control of my life that I have seen the world. I have found nature. "Mother nature"(the earth) has shown herself to me. I have seen the future in dreams(and have strong intuition of things to come) and have tons of Déjà vu moments. I also have an empathic ability, I can feel a persons or animals emotions/pain(it is true, that's why I have so many questions and thoughts).
As for Dawkins, I was just using the scale to show how I view, I don't know that much about him. I'm trying to come to my own reasoning on things, my own way
