If you put God in a box of your own making then I guess the only person you have to blame is yourself.....you set the parameters.....But that's not the God of the bible. God is bigger than anything you can imagine. But I would mention several things. The bible says that where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty. Also it says sin is slavery and that Jesus came to set us free from the bonds of slavery. And the sweet part is that salvation is free. All you have to do is believe in Jesus.....to me that's an easy thing to do. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.....The devil on the other hand wants you to sacrifice your children and have butt sex......the choice is yours.....
Living an honest life isn't that hard, you just have to do it, it's just that pesky believing in Messiahs part I can't get down with. So I guess I'll be a good person that goes to great lengths to be so that ends up in hell while other scumbags (like my grimy ass kidnapping mother) will go to heaven because they are dumb enough to believe that a crazy person is communing with God. Sounds pretty standard in this gay ass dimension. If she's going to be there, I don't fucking wanna be. So those are MY choices. Try to be a good person and go to hell or be a bad person like her and still go to hell because I don't "believe the hype."
Have you ever been around someone who is having a nervous breakdown? I have. They sound like they think they are Messiahs. "God spoke to me..." Sound familiar?
Something I thought about though, Satanists full-on believe in Jesus because all of their rituals and beliefs are created to mirror Christianity. So, since they believe in Jesus, even though they are against him and his ramblings, do they get to go to heaven? The single requirement has been met.
So confusing and seems like a fucking set up. I'll choose "D," "none of these" and take my chances.
Well....it doesn't sound like you're well thought out on Christian theology....that's ok....everyone who proclaims Christ was a non-believer at some time. To believe in Jesus you must believe in the same things he believed in and the things he taught. It really is quite easy because Jesus is awesome.....and he was people call a man's man......A carpenter, fisherman, healer, and he walked everywhere and fasted for 40 days. He stood up to the devil and his schemes and won. He threw the money changers out of the temple...and he didn't mince words....He called the Pharisees a generation of vipers.....It's hard for me to understand why someone wouldn't believe in Jesus.
I don't blame anyone for being confused however. The media spreads a lot of misinformation. A lot of things are confusing if you don't study up on it....not many people know how airplanes work or computers...yet we put aside our ignorance to take a trip. But logically everyone tries to justify what they do; often by blaming someone else. Satan always blames God and people influenced by satan is no exception. It really is a lame excuse...it's often uttered as they're being carted off to jail or right before they kill themselves. However you are right on one point however ; I have heard people say things like "God put us together" or "God spoke to me". I think they're for the most part are being disingenuous or sometimes manipulative. Maybe they have strong feelings IDK. It's the evoking the higher authority argument.....quite common..... In the Bible only a few people talked directly with God and each time God left a mark....Paul was knocked off his horse and went blind for a few days. Moses head turned white, Zacharias went mute until John the Baptist was born because he doubted the angel Gabriel.....The point being is that if God speaks to someone it's typically through his word, the Bible. If someone has strong feelings then they should be able to pinpoint the the theological argument in the Bible....
I'm not at all interested in the Bible, but I can probably prove there is no God using Kurt Vonnegut novels.
It would be equally as believable as the Bible. I'm fine with Jesus and I'm fine with his presence here once on earth once upon a time....or maybe twice. Be Jesus. Love Jesus. Like I said though, when someone starts talking about they are this or that because "God told them," get the fuck away from there. From experience

It's the messiah part I don't believe, as I said.
