I don't know if I believ in God. My family is religious. I go to church and I feel good after I have gone. I pray. But I don't believe in miracles. I don't believe that God causes bad things or good things to happen to people. I don't believe in Heaven or Hell.
And yet, I am a spiritual person. I am in awe of life on earth. I am amazed at how it ...[text shortened]... s. It worries and upsets me that I don't believe in God. But I am not sure that there is a God.

DARFIUS!!
Answer my question! Why aren't you serving God where He really needs you? Why aren't you evangelizing in a decrepit corner of the world that needs the light of Christ?
You'd be surprised how many places in the world have internet access nowadays.

Show me where I passed judgement in that post. I merely told him what Scripture says the punishment will be should he continue in his ways.
My advice to you, Omni? Don't be one of the lukewarm that gets spewed out.
I suppose I could ramble on about the numerous places in scripture where it clearly states that we are simply incapable of knowing another mans relationship with God, but I doubt anything I say to you would be fruitfull, as you will undoubtedly say the apple is an orange in your case.
I thank you for your advice, and I shall bear it in mind for all of the divine wisdom which is behind it. I would likewise offer advise to you. Get out a dictionary, look up "judgement". It's not too far away from "hypocrite". Then, perhaps, we can call apples....apples.

Originally posted by DarfiusI am interested in a comprehensive understanding of the truth. Indeed Darfius, the word of God can be very constructive depending upon how it is used. Comprehensively and applied to daily life it is an amazing thing indeed.
If the Word of God is not constructive to you, then no. Do you have any interest in spreading the Word or are you concerned with making friends?
A lack of comprehensive understanding of the word of God, much like most other things, breeds rather negative things, ranging from zealotry and heresy to unfounded disdain and misunderstanding.
That said, I will state once more that my relationship with God is neither of your concern, nor your ability to sway, nor your place to judge. I have a similar opinion of your relationship with the almight, but I also recognize it for what it is...the opinion of a lowly mortal, worthless and irrelevant. To tell you true, I have never been much concerned with spreading the word of God or making friends. I have found that I do what I find is correct, and I find both friends and God by that alone. Sometimes that might be stepping up to plate on behalf of the Christians, but sometimes it is also listening to what others think and being nonjudgemental.
If one honestly seeks the truth they shall find it. If one does not seek the truth, it is impossible for them to find.
