The big difference is that I do not claim you reap what you have sown, like you do. But that is a sophisticated argument that I doubt the men who wrote the bible could figure out!
Well you keep saying the "men that wrote the Bible". To a point you are right, however the Bible was written by men, through God. For if God was to show you personally, not so much the existence of Him, but the outlook of it all, past, present, and what's to come. Those men God sent angels down to them, visions, and voices, as to show His eternal power and Godhead, to make sure their fear would write what was said. If God gave you a vision of things to come, how is it you would describe them without the words thereof. Such as jets, drones, etc. back then there was no words for such things for they did not exist. Example: This is merely the miracle of the beast bringing fire from the sky in sight of men. Sitting behind a computer, within a protected area, pushing a button and unleashing fire from the sky, in the sight of men. Beast in Biblical prophecy is a kingdom/nation. And it is the beast that comes up from the earth that does this. What is it you think they meant by the Beast coming up out of the earth. Your probably going to have to think on that one. However if you did, I bet you get it.
God has a say in it all. For it is the word of God that created everything. And Jesus. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words will never pass away".
I think the beast coming out of the earth is the rantings of a half mad monk talking about the destruction of the second temple like preterites do.
Your entire world is based off Jesus Christ. Yet you act as if it's not. History, present, kings, queens, president's, it's all based off Jesus. The positioning of military, wars, banking, food, water, it's all based on the man who changed the world. Jesus Christ.
Why then has he allowed me to dismiss him....Free will? And, if I get free will why should I care if I upset him? This Hell place sounds kinda cool and relaxing since none of you Christians will be there.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments. So how are the children of the forth and fifth generation reaping what they sow? They are actually reaping what their parents sowed.
I sure pray you change your mind on that. Having said that, what you have just stated, goes along "perfectly" with what is written.
You go right along with that whole pray thingy....sure works well for sick people right before they die.
Actually it does, and has. I need not explain this to you, for you can do it yourself. The only advice I would give you, is when you are praying hold back your ego, and hatred towards God. For a prayer being answered, is only because of the prayer. Another words the meaning behind your words, and what it is that is in your heart. Thus the best prayer, is one for somebody else.
We all have to die, do you think praying get's one out that, or that it should? Your life here is for enlightenment, to get you ready for the kingdom. A higher state of conscience, beyond what man is capable of.
