Why do christans use Jesus to communicate with god? is it because their satelietes aren't good enough?

Excellent question!!  The basic tenet of Christianity is that a Christian must use Jesus to get to God (and anyone who tells you differently doesn't know the basics of Christianity very well).\n\nIs God so busy that he needs a secretary to screen his calls?

It is a good question actually. The reason God does not clarify things to end the confusion is because God doesn't do anything. It really is that simple. And Master Jesus made this perfectly clear but the Christians didn't listen because they were running around with "itchy ears" and "another gospel". It is safe to say that for all practical purposes there is no active god, and there never was.

I have not read anywhere that Jesus instructed anyone to write anything. The man was a walking contradiction, and his apostles were divided about what he taught. Jesus was used by others to start a revolution. This happens every so often, and the world needed it to happen at that particular time. I don't believe Jesus taught what the Christian bible says.

Because many of my fellow christians forgot that one of the fine gifts that god gave us was free will. Some people feel the need to control the actions of others to reinforce, measure or justify their spiritual relationships.  Being a "good christian" does not mean making people feel badly or like they are a lesser being. \n\nThey dont realize that people will come to love and worship god on their own accord, making them feel guilty or condesend to them will only push them further away. Besides, astrology was around long before Christianity became an organized religion.\n\nI agree that if someone wanted a Christian sermon, they would have asked for a Christian outlook.

I know the point you're trying to get across to people but I don't think the right way to show people a loving God is to call them dumb. As Christians we're not here to judge others, we're here to love others. So pray for those who don't believe in God and guide them to the Lord through your example.

Jesus did a lot just to fulfill the prophecy's of the old testament. It's good to question things. If the book can't stand up to our questions it's not worth the paper its printed on.

Yes, you could think that is a alien, but the faith is the real reason to believe, I think your heart will know when  God will be talking you, but is strange because in the Bible many times the people felt afraid when God was talking. May be now God dont need to show to the humans like a light or something artificial. I think God dont need more messenger because JesusChrist was so clear when he said that He is the Path and the way to God. For this reason I think, based in the Bible that God will not need talk you or appear in your house because JesusChrist is His son and you only need to follow him and his example, trying to be like him being helped by the Holy Spirit. For this reason i think if you see a light in your house, it´s obviously will be a UFO or a Alien.

The Holy Spirit is key to learning the Bible and knowing Jesus Christ. And Jesus knows that some will mis-read, or not be able to read. Or that a younger Christian might not be familiair enough with the Holy Spirit to ask God to fill him/her daily.\n\nThe Lord knows human weaknesses.  So.........................

:}\nBelieving and practicing Christians have already received more than they deserved from G-d. Most are more interested in how to serve him than what he will bring on Christmas.\n\nI admit there is the prosperity theology movement afoot but then there is always going to be a mixture of error\n\nThe call is to pick up the cross an follow him. I would like to see everyone do that but I would caution them that there is a cost that should be considered. Christians are often called to suffer.

God does not go deaf just because people rebel against him.  It is more important to accept his son Jesus than to worry about committing offenses against God.  (Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;)  God does not see one sin any greater than another with the exception of blashpmy of the Holy Ghost, which is the only unpardonable sin.

Ok, well let me start by saying that God loves and cares for you... He sent His son Jesus to become a curse for you, and pay your punishment on the cross!  Gods master plan from the beginning was to have Jesus come and reunite the jews and gentiles(non jews).  We need to believe in Jesus because by doing so, we acknowledge Gods ultimate power and glory.  We are now saved by grace, meaning we dont work to get to heaven, we just do by beliving in Jesus and that God rasied him from the dead.  Again this all shows Gods ultimate power.  Christianity is the only religion that is not by works.  We dont work to get to God because we cant work.  There is no path to God or becoming a 'god', but God has giving us Jesus as a bridge to Him!\n\n\nGod has given us so many signs and wonders that He still works today.  Think of the times that we have been at the right place at the right time, or someone encouraged us when we really need it, or just look at creation, and it all shows the glory of God.\n\nThe bible says that we walk by faith and not by sight.  (blindly as you say) but its not all blind, we have the holy spirit to guide us and teach us.  If we could see God, it wouldnt be faith at all.  God didnt want everyone to see him and worship him because he gave us freedom of the will... He didnt want us to be robots, programmed to worship Him.  He loves us enough to give us freedom:)!!!!!\n\nwell i hope this helps and answers your question a little.. God bless :)

Come on lymber1,I know it can get frustrating sometimes as a Christian trying to tell the truth of GOD.........But you know that calling people who don't believe,ignorant,is not the way to spread the truth of GOD,doing that will only drive them further away from GOD\n\nI know how you feel,but we must approach them from another angle the way JESUS did\n\nCraig,before you judge other peoples grammar,look at your own...."realize"not"realise\n\nhttp://www.gotquestions.org

I'm not so sure Christianity is all about converting others, we are supposed to tell people about Jesus and stuff but not try to MAKE them become christian it just doesn't work that way. they have to accept it for themselves, not because somebody tells them to. i think the most you can do is be a good example of what a Christan should be, and they should that you are different from others and want what you have. the worst thing that you can do is push your beliefs on someone else, nobody would want that and if i wasn't a christian i would be completely turned off by Christianity. just be an example and love them , ask god to help you cuz he's always there, i hope this answers your question and isn't too confusing lol\ni think its so awesome that you want to tell other people we need more of that kind of christian in the world\n\n\n            -swede

Good question!  \nHere is the purpose for why Jesus told His disciples to gather together in Jerusalem after He ascended back to the right hand of Father GOD. . . . \nJesus talking . . .\nAnd said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: \n47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.\n48 And ye are witnesses of these things.\n49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.\n\nBaptism of the Holy Spirit is the Father's promise to believers to clothe them in power to DO verse 47 above.\n\nAGAIN JESUS SAID\n8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.\n\n9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.\nKJV

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

Because so many people hate God! and since they can't get to God directly, they try to get at the people He chose to entrust with the Holy Scriptures, and eventually, through them, the Messiah, Jesus Christ! (Jesus is the promised Seed of Abraham, through whom all the families of the earth would be blessed.)

Some poeple take evangelizing to the next level.  It is not just Christians.  Most religions, even some pagan ones, have sects that push their followers to convert others.
