True.. ..didn't see my rant that way..

Anyway..will try find a way to "solution"-ate it.

Bytheway...Gues who is rushing down to LoLIOndo for the miracle brew?

Boss,

I agree with you, about christians abdicating their duty and leaving it to the 'prosperity' preacherman' who charges a commision for the same...
But again, isn't the word of GOD light? And shouldn't the SON of GOD be the Light of the world? So that whoever believes in Him should have light.. when you have the Light, you shouldn't be LOST.

@Proverb,

Do you feel like i do that Christians are abandoning the Bible and now reads books by Western Preast?

'Everyone was born with a nose and 10 fingers,but no one was born with a knowledge of God"-Voltaire

Somewhere in the Bible it does say no one knows the mind of God and in my honest opinion it is dangerous to bestow the term "custodians of the gospel " on any one person even religious leaders.

If you look at the church today everyone has an opinion on what God wants,what he is saying or not saying,what he demands or expects and we have forgotten the exact reason Jesus came-to set captives free.In Jesus time people were so saddled with so many rules and regulations,what to do or not do that religion became a burden,o much so that when Jesus came he was like a breathe of fresh air,thats why thousands followed him to listen to the message he had.

Sometimes i think the church has forgotten Jesus core message-"Love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul , with all your mind and with all your strength and love your neighbor as you love yourself".

In the morning I was told to read Ecc 7:15-18
it talks about righteousness and wickedness how the most righteous die while the most wicked live long and that we are supposed to be moderate in our wickedness and righteousness and trust God He will enable us overcome.

Reading that word made me realize that we can never overcome our weaknesses by our own strengths that's why the grace of our lord Jesus is sufficient to cover us no matter how weak we are.This can only be if we depend solely on him nad thats where the matter of Belief n faith come in.How many of Us can have total belief on Jesus without doubt...very few of Us, that's why most of us believe that some pple[pastors] are nearer to God than we Are.

@spanner yeah we failed God.
sometime I wonder did God foresee the mans Journey from Adam to Jesus ? For instance He created man first from the soil meaning a natural man then the man became alive by breathing his spirit into him.So the man was made of a corrupt body and incorruptible spirit.eventually Adam became the genesis of sin hence death while Jesus came as a spirit in a mans body that brought life and redemption.

The beauty with heaven is that God will not ask you how church leaders behaved or lived their lives but how YOU have lived yours.

We are all imperfect people seeking to know a perfect God, so work on your own lives.. You will only have yours to answer about. Living right will also minister to others around you..

Spot on

Lots of food for thought here.

Mtu biz, I beg to differ with you on some key points you raise.

Death now is just sleep. At some point in future all the dead will be raised up. If your loved one chose not to believe in Jesus, and hence ended up on the other side, will you be angry at God?

Us who are still alive are no better than your loved one who passed on. I know I will go to sleep one day and taking a nap from all these worldly troubles is not something to fear.

Lazarus in Abrahams lap was a parable. It had lessons to be learnt. John the baptist himself was not bitter at how fellow human beings treated him. Why do you want to be bitter on his behalf? If anything, be bitter to the one who made those men do what they did to him. Yes.

You cannot blame God when a fellow human being hurts another. That fellow human being has free will and he chose, by himself, with influence from satan to hurt you and others. God has no role in that.

And about bibles, I have come to be suspicious of many versions. I have realised that some compilers of some editions have hidden agendas and they choice of words they use betray that fact.

Case in point John 3:16. If your bible states 'God so loved the world that he gave his son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life....' or something like that, then it is one of those twisted bibles. Because we are also sons of God but God sent his only 'begotten' son for that purpose. The deliberate blurring of that fact, by deleting that word, should make keen readers smell a rat.


And please, it is a lie, designed to make people see God as cruel, that people will burn for all eternity in hell. Yes, people will burn, because no one can see God and live, yet he will be visibly around. Go figure.

If you will not be transformed when he comes, you will burn up and be no more. There will be new heaven and a new earth. There is no mention of new or continued hell.

There is no need to have beef with God. Because it is easy to does not make it right.
