turn to God and God turns to you
October 30, 2015 at 4:42 pm
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. Zachariah 1:3 KJV
If you want nothing to do with God, then God will have nothing to do with you (hence, God giving people over to a reprobate mind).
You want to know God, then you turn to Him! According to this passage, He is faithful to turn to you.
How do you turn to God?
The only way to the Father is through the Son.
You cannot have the Father unless you have the Son.
Turning to God means to have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Denying Jesus means God will NOT turn to you.
If you profess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

BULLSHIT.
There is no god. Your wholly babble is moronic and offensive, and your gawd is a vicious monster.

its bad logic to say God doesn't exist because He's not what I think He should be.

I say god doesn't exist because I see no conclusive evidence for his existence.
I was raised KJV xtian. I have most of the KJV memorized. I have rejected it completely.

Why is it that, as much as Yahweh wants a relationship with us, and as much as he values the idea that we need to do what he wants, it's US that has to seek him before he actually commits to us?
It's not that I want nothing to do with him. It's that I don't know conclusively that he exists, and the way he's portrayed in his holy book is not endearing. Gods having children is not a new thing there are many stories about people of divine birth, especially if you learn about Zeus. So someone being the son of a god isn't very impressive. Much less the idea that brutally murdering an innocent person somehow absolves a bad person of their sin. We have progressed enough as a culture that we don't believe blood has magical qualities, and that it's considered a breach of justice for a guilty person to scapegoat an innocent person.
It's not a simple thing. apparently the only way we can work this out conclusiely is if we die, or Jesus comes back in the second coming. In which case it's apparntly too late for some reason. which smells of a scam.

Your faith is accounted for righteousness and not your life long obedience. God made the terms and it's simple. His mercy is rich but there is a ceiling and after the second coming, it's too late; just like when the doors of the ark were closed before the flood.
Jesus is the only way to God.

Then Jesus is a road to nowhere.
Mindlessly regurgitating biblical claims is preaching. We've heard it countless times and to date there is absolutely no evidence for the claims or compelling reasons to accept them.
