Spartan, the God you speak of is not the God I know.
The God I know and serve is a just God.

Abra, now that you have shared more about your background, it sounds like your mom knew and loved this just God too.
But ,It is only your own perception and unbelief , that allows you to not see the truth about who God really is.

Before ,I thought perhaps you were just exposed to religion...hence the unbelif on your part.
But now, I think you have been exposed to the real and loving and just God,and not just religion... but just are not willing to accept Him for some reason.

Perhaps you blame God for decisions you made with your life?
Perhaps you unconciously are angry at Him ,also ?


When I was an Atheist, I hated it when people tried to label me as angry. I wasn't, just mislead. You can take a camel to water but you can not make them drink!

Totally agree, but a lot of people think that is where it ends...bringing a camel to water. But i believe it has to go farther..you have to jump in. And then they see how much fun you can have and WANT to join. JMHO.


Well it all depends. The camel might not drink still. And they might not be able to see you have fun because they are blind, or distracted by other things. Some people (like Autistics) don't have fun in social environments. We can see people have fun but we're more annoyed than anything.

That's when a little discernment comes into play. Even Autistics have things they like to do for fun...The pool was an analogy for life not meant to be taken literally. :smile:


Yes but our idea of fun is different, and it has to be timed right. Otherwise we're just annoyed. But no matter what the analogy is: People aren't always on your wave length. You have to find theirs (if it's even possible, for some) and take it down brick by brick.

Should have been more specific. Discernment=finding their wave lenght:smile:


Well sometimes trying you just annoy them because you're not able period! lol that's what I meant. Just let time take it's toll and they'll have to figure it out on their own. I'm going to bed now. Good night.

Good night, and nice talking with you. God Bless:smile:

I didn't read the whole thread but i would like to ask what rules you believe are 'unjust' that God has laid out for us?
The only rules that he said that mattered were
1. Love your neighbor as yourself,
2. Love the Lord your God with all your heart?

What's unjust?

To live is to die,
To die is to live,
The echo of these words
Is something before heard,
But said in a different way
By one who's truth does not sway.
On this let the light shed,
For it is Jesus that once said,
"Whoever finds his life will lose it"
"Whoever loses his life for my sake finds it"
Now what exaclty did he mean?
Is it a truth that was meant to be unseen?
Did it mean our lives we should literally take?
Or that everything fun we should forsake?
I do not think any of those were his reasons
I think he meant abstain from spiritual treason.
Meaning that we are all living in a war,
And you talk to the enemy no more,
He already knows the outcome of the battle,
But we tend to run when our life is rattled.
We are told that is safer on the other side.
So it is to there that we run, but it is a lie.
Because he already knows who is going to win,
He knows we are safer staying with Him.
By staying with Him we will not only survive the war,
But we will have peace and we will die no more.

same here but we have a child together and she won't let me see my daughter so it's hard and will take some time......flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou drinker

I'll pray for you, I don't beleive anyone should be deprived of their rights to see their kids. Unless abuse is involved and its in the best interest of the kids.

thanks and there is no abuse she knows I won't let anyone stop me from seeing my child that's why she's doing it cause she think she can. And I'll pray for you to get stronger through your grief.....flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou :heart:

Thank you very much,
I'm off to bed now. God bless.

I'm there right now....feel free to share your pain, and I will do the same...

Yes i'm still there as well, it won't be through for awhile...at least another year. But I know that whatever happens there is a reason. Sorry to hear you have to feel this pain as well. But remember...every cloud has a silver lining:smile:
