One nation under GOD

[countrygirl12]

I did not say I do not believe in the bible.  I have read the bible word for word 3 times in my life.  I do not need religion to believe in GOD.  The bible is a story written by men that made the rules to follow.  GOD is all I need to know and need.

I do not push my beliefs on anyone and I expect the same in return.  That is why we have freedom of religion in this country.  And I might be from another country but I am a proud US citizen and hate to see it torn down because some people are offended by the history of the country.  You cannot go back and change the history and it should be left alone.  All we can do is better ourselves by respecting everyone and their religion and believes.

The Bible is not just a story written by men. It is the inspired Word of God.  I don't shove my beliefs down somebody's throat, like others do, but I will tell you what I believe.  You post was just confusing the way you stated it.  I did not understand what you were saying. I don't argue with anybody about religion although some desperately try to fight with anybody they can get to argue with them. lol You are right in that we can not change history. If it offends you then too bad. And people living today had nothing to do with things that happened 100 years ago.

Sorry I do not follow the bible I am a different religion and from different country.  But I am tired of seeing this country divided and tearing down our history all for what "justice" for who?  No one should be above anyone in this world.

Why would someone say they dont follow the bible then say they read it 3X???

Thats like someone saying i dont eat cake and then they cant wait for Entemanns to go on sale.LOL!

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

That scripture in 2nd Tim 3:16 shows Man DIDNT write the bible.Yes he wrote it as a secretary writes her boss letter etc.Boss thoughts NOT hers.Gods words NOT mans.

Try reading it a 4th time.Maybe be a charm.

One more thing.What makes you or anybody else think freedom of religeon is a good thing?So many false doctrines out there.You think Jehovah approves of that?

Wake up!!

I have read the bible, the quaran and torah.  But that does not make religious or make me believe in them.  I only believe in one supreme being and that is GOD.  I do not need a book to tell me what is a sin and not a sin.  We are all equal no matter what our beliefs are.  We have no night to judge anyone for who, or what they are and what they believe or not believe.  It is men that wrote the bible and convinced people that it was gods rules of life.  No one has died and comeback to tell what the after life is like and no will ever leave and comeback.  We cannot go by word of the bible or whatever you believe in about after life.  Next time you read your bible check and see what year it was published and by whom.  No one sat down with GOD and wrote down his rules. 

When you can explain to me the meaning of life and show me proof I will continue to believe in GOD but not the word of any biblical book.

Do you think Jesus existed?If U say yes,why do you think that?IOW where is your proof he existed?If you think he didnt i guess you would say cos U dont believe in the bible,you just read it to maybe make your eyes tired when U have insomnia.

I DO NOT BELIEVE in Jesus sorry.  I read different bibles from different religions just to see what each  says and if I can make sense of it which i have not.  GOD and Jesus did not write the bible.  Men did.  You do not need house of worship to pray.  You can pray wherever and whenever you want.  You do not need to pray to anyone but GOD.  We do not know if GOD is he/she or just a spirit.  It all depends on what your beieves are. 

I know this will offend many but I am  telling you how I feel from the heart. Why go to place of worship to hear men and women tell you about GOD and Bible than turn around and molest kids.  Is this what you want to your kids to trust and follow.  I was not taught any religion growing  and was giving the choice to decide for myself what I believe or do not believe in.  And I do not believe in Jesus, I do know he exists but he is no one different the rest of us.  I was born a muslim and sent to private catholic school and forced to sit in church once a week.  While my parents shoved islam down my throat and school shoved the bible down my throat.

Why would someone say they dont follow the bible then say they read it 3X???

Thats like someone saying i dont eat cake and then they cant wait for Entemanns to go on sale.LOL!

Uh, what?! You can read any book. It doesn't make you a follower. If you read Mein Kampf, does that instantly make you a N@zi?

I've read lots of time travel books. I'm still not a time traveler.

I dont blame you for coming down on religeons.Soon God will put an end to their false doctrines when they claim to teach the bible and DONT!!

God didnt molest the kids either.....he says in the bible to "Remove"the wicked one from among you.I guess they didnt eh?

Even tho you say you dont believe in Jesus he said you can tell a rotten tree from a good tree.Its the same way with religeon.By their fruits you will know them.There are some good trees out in the world today even tho the majority are rotten.

Thanx for your time.We are done here im not going to argue or debate your feelings if you say you dont think Jesus existed.

[debidoo]

Well I can't say I agree because to be honest I don't agree with the other "removals" but like you said everyone is entitled to their opinion and it doesn't matter if what is deeply embedded in my heart is removed because no one can remove that.....I think it is awful about everyone trying to remove confederate items etc because you can't change history and it isn't fair (agree or not) to dis the families of people who served on the other side.
