Beef roast Mac and cheese And a piece of bread and butter {BURRRP} ![]() Sounds good! I'm not sure if you guys get onion soup mix in TX or not? It comes in a powder. If you do, throw in in with your roast beef before you cook it. Really tasty and moist! ![]() Oh, and love mac n' cheese as well! ![]() my parent's would mix cheddar cheese, with diced tomatoes and fried up ground beef. Delicious! I had cereal and toast, pretty much what I have every morning. ![]() |

There are two forces at work here, remember that. God is the spiritual force controlling all that is good in humankind, and of the earth. Satan has just enough power to sway people into doing bad, heinous acts. Ultimately though, it's up to us to control what's thrown our way by satan and his minions. Satan wants people to be atheists agnostics, and occultists. He has gotten through to people like these, in order to aquire their souls when they pass over. He's the ultimate tempter and deceiver. ================================================================= Lets pretend what you typed is true.So if i die and Vishnu reincarnates me(hinduism)that's the work of satan or hindu is right and christianity was wrong? You can believe whatever you like. As far as I know, Christianity is the only way to get to Heaven. If you pass away and don't come back as an eagle, you had no one to blame but yourself. |

I don't think so. Because say I put a gun to a Christian's head, no doubt he'd beg for dear life. Kind of strange don't you think, considering how afterwards he'd go to heaven. You put a gun to anyone's head and their going to have that initial fear and shock. At least the saved, righteous person will be going to the right place. |

We all sin to some degree. Remember it's God that is perfect. We're just his creations that can go either one way or the other, in this spiritual battle of life. God is perfect you say? Then how on earth is it possible that he could create a creation capable of doing something it did not intend for them to be able to do, to the point he regrets ever creating them before the great flood? Would that not be a mistake? Would this not indicate a flaw in his creation if he made them this way? How does that really work? If you ask me it doesn't.......either God is perfect and so are we for our purpose here, flaws and all, or God screwed up. There is no middleground. Make a choice, is God perfect or isn't he? Kleisto, what are you referring to in the first couple of sentences? I am saying that it is impossible for a being who created us perfect to make us imperfect UNLESS that's what it intended us to be, it defies logic. To say it's true means God made a mistake and perfect beings are incapable of that. God had to know why he made us the way we did.......otherwise how can he be perfect and all knowing if we can do something it didn't expect or anticipate? It just does not make any sense whatsoever. If God didn't want us to be the way we are it would have made us different, but it didn't. Therefore we must be perfect for our purpose, because if we weren't, it'd mean God made a mistake which again is something perfection cannot do by definition. I don't think God had any intention of making us to be perfect beings. It starts with the story of Adam and Eve. First humans ever to be created by God. Satan is cast out of Heaven for his plot to overtake God. Satan them tempts Adam and Eve, and they give in. Today, whether you believe or you don't, we fight with the negative and positive forces. A spiritual battle if you will, with God on one side and satan on the other, vying for our souls. God for good, wants us all to be in Heaven with him. Satan is furious with God for casting him out into hell forever, and will try to entice any of God's creations "us" into sinning, so when we pass, we enter into his lair of torture and pain for eternity. You may know the story I've just posted? Not sure? May all be just fiction to you, and you just may believe in what modern science teaches you and that's it? Faith though is about keeping an open mind and doing all the right things. To love your neighbor as yourself. Never hate, be jealous, envious, hurtful or racist to anyone. Jesus only taught peace. First of all that's a lie, Jesus himself even said that he comes not to bring peace but a sword in the Bible, and speaks of dividing families........you are being dishonest. If he was all about peace his words would reflect it and they do not. That's number one, number two, if God did not intend us to be perfect beings as you say, then what sense does it make to punish us eternally in the way that it does, and wipe out whole civilizations at times in addition to? You're gonna tell me God KNOWINGLY makes us imperfect and flawed, and then gets mad when we act exactly as it wanted us to be able to? Bullcrap. Again, either God made everything and everyone as it intended, or God screwed up, it cannot be both. Finally, any divine being that would let people burn eternally in hell knowing it could prevent it and wants all to be saved in the place, is not one worthy of any worship at all. Such is a being a monster, and as far from anything loving as one could get. Love does not let someone suffer just for the sake of suffering. If You actually read the Bible, you'll see there are many verses where Jesus mentions peace. Here are just some of them: John 14:27 ESV / Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Exodus 20:13 ESV / “You shall not murder. Thessalonians 3:16 ESV / Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. John 16:33 ESV / I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 1 Peter 3:11 ESV / Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. Romans 12:18 ESV / If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. There are two forces at work here, remember that. God is the spiritual force controlling all that is good in humankind, and of the earth. Satan has just enough power to sway people into doing bad, heinous acts. Ultimately though, it's up to us to control what's thrown our way by satan and his minions. Satan wants people to be atheists agnostics, and occultists. He has gotten through to people like these, in order to aquire their souls when they pass over. He's the ultimate tempter and deceiver. It's sin within ourselves and through satan that works the karma towards natural disasters, as far as I know. I'll have to look into this some more. God is a loving God. However he's also just and a good judge. His rules are clear, that either you get saved and follow his commandments to the best of your ability. If one get "saved", which means you believe Jesus came down to earth and eventually died for our sins, meaning he sacrificed himself in order that, if we repented and prayed for forgiveness of our sins,we could escape the fires of hell. Also believing that he was resurrected three days later going up to Heaven, and that he is our Lord and Saviour. According to scripture, we are then "saved". Now, you can be saved and still sin. One just need to have a conscience and pray for forgiveness once they do commit a sin, whereas an unsaved person or non-believer will not be forgiven. There are some who believe that "once saved always saved. However, I had been told my my pastor that the only way to become unsaved, the only unforgivable sin is to be a believer who then turn back to being a non-believer. Doesn't the Bible say love never fails? If God is love and love doesn't fail, yet it fails to save every single soul willing it to be, how does that NOT make it a failure? Also if God is supposed to not be a keeper of wrongs.....how does it make sense that if you sin too much you can go to hell or at the least cease to exist? And if God is supposed to be merciful and forgiving even if one rebels against it (Daniel 9:9), how does it have the capacity to NOT forgive at the same time? Finally about Jesus, ok fine it says all those things about peace, but it does not change the fact that it ALSO talks about bringing a sword in other parts of the Bible. Which is true? Bottom line to me is simply that the Bible is one of the most contradictory pieces of literature ever written, it constantly speaks this double speak. As such, it is not the least bit credible to be any kind of complete truth in my estimation. God is loving, Kliesto, but if we, his people choose to ignore him and not give praise, prayer and ask his only begotten son Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then we have failed God. Why should we be forgiven if we didn't choose to have a relationship with God and Jesus? Not too long ago I didn't understand the importance of this. I thought well, "I'm a nice guy,so God will forgive me" for whatever reasons. Even though I wasn't praying all that much, and not asking for forgiveness and repenting for my sins. It doesn't work that way. We must believe that God sent his only son Jesus down to be crucified and die for our sins, so that we may escape the bowels of hell when we die. And that he was resurrected three days later, ascending to Heaven. And also that he is our Lord and Savior. If one does not believe then it's clear where they go when they die. Now ceasing to exist. Are you talking about annihilationism? It's the belief with some that when you die, you cease to exist if you've sinned? It's a false teaching. And actually as I've stated in the above post, your prior sins will be nullified only, if you save yourself by repenting, have faith in Jesus' mission here on earth and and believe he is our savior. After that you are saved if you believe. You then begin a process called regeneration, where you feel so much better for giving your life to God. The sword Jesus was bringing was just a figure of speech. The sword he brought was just a warning to non-believers. Not once did he ever kill anyone, or asked for anyone to be killed. What you think is your choice, Kliesto. I can't make you change your mind. You can either choose God or choose your own way. |
