Of course all people have there different belifs but im happy they belive in somthing other than nothing, what type of person would it make me if i where to tell them they will die and their whole life was for nothing?

So...if you came across undeniable proof that your god is a sham, you'd off yourself?  Because life is pointless without a magical sky being running the show, right?

Somehow I highly doubt you would kill yourself in such a situation.  You want to know why?  You'd realize all of the things that make life worth living are still there...it's just they are no longer under the guise of a fake security blanket.

What an insult to life itself that you don't think it counts for anything just because it ends.   :angry7:

And for the record, I believe in reality.

Gods will is Gods Wisdom. Gods will is  Colossians 1:9 " For this reason we have always prayed for you, ever since we heard abou tyou . We ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will, with all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives...Colossians 1:10 Then you will be able to live as the Lord wants and will always do what pleases him. Your lives will produce all kinds of goood deeds, and you will grow in your knowledge of God.
OHHH MY~if the world came to an end tomorrow, why don't you toss that bible quote at the flood waters racing toward ya, see if that will slow it down!
I bet you will be swimming along with everybody else.

We may be swimming together while going down but I'm sure the paths will soon separate.  Those who have the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour don't fear death but look forward to an eternal afterlife with the Lord.  Because through the physical death of this body brings believers into the presence of the Lord.  Those who don't will still be in the presence of the Lord but not until the Great Judgement Day and then all is too late.
:bs: Everyone is afraid of dying to some extent, if they don't think they are, they are full of it......Including you! We aren't robots, although sometimes I wonder about you christian folk. Your responses are too automatic, always scripture, always monotone....
I don't agree with the automatic and the monotone.  But as Christians, scripture is from God's Word, so yes, we rely on it for supporting answers we give to certain questions.

i agree.. God's will is different for everyone initially, but in the end, they are working towards the same thing

Of course not but for those people who suffer day in and out because there tormenters belive in nothing or have no morals where the bible brings that. Religon itself have saved so many lives and pulled people out of the darkness where there lives where drugs prositution and murder. Would you say that religon has its up points even as a none beliver? Wouldnt you agree it would be better for them to have god in their lives? If you yourself are completly happy where you are in this life I hope you spread how you acheived that happiness with others. If not then i hope you dont bring them down.

God gives us all a free will but if you know and werve Him as your Lord and savior your will is to do have His will in your life. I will pray for all of the people that find negative in this statement and I know some will mock me but I always want God to direct my live and be their when trouble comes. He is my best friend and we all talk to our best friends and ask them for advice.

Its just a post for the month. To each its own. Those on or off drugs, may post. Atheist or Believers might post. Gay or Straight might post. Black or white might post. But what it boils down to is that "I got your attention to POST LOL.

HIS WILL is for none to perish [go to hell] but that all will come to the knowledge of YESHUA/JESUS... HE made us all in HIS image and then sent HIS Only SON to die so that we will have a covering for our sin. But until our eyes are opened, we won't see HIS love or HIS miracles. Sad but true.
thanks for your post.

No one could possibly know. The Bible was passed down by word of mouth for centuries and even translated into many languages. No one knows what the original message was.

i love God :) im sort of a new christian, so i love reading what all of yall are saying

How can you love people trashing your faith? These "discussions" are not good for anyones faith. Arrogance is contagious.

It was rewritten/strung together so that there could be an original message which is basically just to be a good person and love thy neighbor. 'tis a shame so few christians do that nowadays.

The same way you can love someone who trashes your political ideas.

They're good for something much more important in society-- knowledge.

I think that this is true, Thy god is a person who is commited to being there for a guide until the day we know that we will be judged.
