Take another look, maybe he switched them around already!\n\nHe is a real prankster, big G .. changing things around, like water to wine, rising dead people and such .. \n\nHe did say, they say .. to take the log out of your eye, so as to best see the splinter in anothers ... maybe you just have not gotten it right yet?/\n\nI am so confused about all this

Run with it, just take off and don't look back. Nobody on earth is going to get you to heaven. Your treasures are laid up there, lay everything else down and go for it. It takes alot of guts, but your being called, thats why this is weighing so heavy on you. Jesus was spit on, kicked , speared, whipped, cursed at etc, and look where he is now. I will pray for you right now!!! God bless you!

When speaking of man, it is said "All have sinned and fallen short...", Jesus said that our faith was weak. If our faith was strong, mountains could be moved....not by us, I think, but, according to God's will. Scenes from heaven always have the men throwing their crowns at God's feet. We give all decision up to him, all acts. Be faithful, and God will move....a thing greater than moving a mountain

Your putting pretty high expectations on a man who started a religion after eating a poisonous mushroom and listening to a talking salamander...obviously, he must have been hallucinating!  Anything that adds to or takes away from the word of God, is not truly of God.Satan's biggest lie ever told was denying Jesus was crucified or that He was the Son of God....the very essence of our salvation. Jesus warned against false prophets that would come....He told us to test things in the Spirit-so we would know the truth from the lies.Remember, every knee shal bow and every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord....I think was in Romans...so there will come a moment when Satan himself will have to be on bended knee confessing that! I'm pretty sure that was in Romans-I don't have my Bible with me right now.So, there will come that day! Until then...pray for those who don't know HIM.

A friend of mine was working as a fulltime preacher making little money. Walking to the store to buy the food for dinner that night (no extra) and saying I can't do this, I can't keep this preaching career if I can't even afford a whole week's groceries at one time. Kicking the leaves while walking, see's a $100 bill on the ground in the middle of nowhere. Starts crying because it was a provision that God can and does provide what is needed and not more. Still preaching and never yet been hungry or unclothed.

I believe you are very right in alot of new or unfed Christian hearts. We get complacent and don't read The Bible and get refreshed on what EVERY follower of God had to go through! Paul had the thorn in his side, Stephen got killed, all were mocked! Look at poor Job, what a price to pay! When we really start to follow The Good Shepherd's voice just know that He's going to lead you into "The valley of the shadow of death" at some point in your life to test your faith in Him(with good right!). Good question and point to make, friend! I hope that helps you. God bless.

I'm sure if God's up there somewhere, He's none to happy about the prospect of tidying up somebody else's mess! I think the believers had better get their act together and help Him out a bit, otherwise they might be in for a telling off...\n\n\n\n...and you know how angry God can get.

Your question is what lessons are learned from the story of Lot. I know that there are some gross situations here, but let me explain my take on this story. I am a Christian though not an expert and have been listening to this story all of my life. Lot chose the well watered plains of Sodom and Gamorrah - he was given a choice, and he chose the "easy" path instead of following God's plan. He went into the cities and became involved in the sinful atmosphere of these cities (knowing that God would not approve). He had raised his family there, so when God had had enough and sent the angels to warn Lot to get out, he had a very hard time convincing his family (let alone others) that they needed to leave. When Lot offered his daughters in lieu of the angels, Lot knew God would punish him for allowing any acts of homosexuality to take place (it is an abomination to God). Lot had sinned by not following God, and the sin followed him throughout the remainder of his life - this teaches me that when you sin (even though God firgives sin), the effects of that sin hurt you personally, it hurts your family (wife and daughters), and it destroys your testimony before others (especially the unsaved whom we are trying to live an example for). If you trace all of the descendants of Lot (even the descendants of his daughters) you find no outstanding people living for God. The original sin of Lot's turn from God by going into the cities and sin, provided a direction for the outcome of all the other happenings in his life. He never regained control of his life, and, as a result, was never used of God for the furtherance of God's work. Lot was human just like you and I, and if it weren't for the grace of God, I could be in the same boat. Any time we turn from God's ways and direction, we are sinning, and we will reap the results of what we have sewn.

I know what you mean.  Why just the other day I was in the process of making a burnt offering an ox on the alter that I have erected on my front lawn (To get the Lord to rig the next power ball drawing for me, as per the bible, book of Carbonization, 23-10), when I was accosted by a pair of LDS missionaries.  They actually had the audacity to interrupt my opening benediction to ask if I was interested in their religion, and whats more, their caterwauling frightened the ox, who snapped his restraints and bolted, leaving me with a roaring fire, some very sharp knives, and two belligerent missionaries.\n\nAs I am sure you can guess, this sort of threw off my rhythm, and basically ruined the sacrifice.  Whats more, they refused to buy me another ox to sacrifice in place of the one that they had frightened off.  \n\nI just can't understand it.  I mean, I let them practice their religion in peace, why can they not extend the same courtesy to me?

It says that God makes mistakes.....which would explain so much.

I really wish you would seek some professional help.  If God did answer this prayer of yours, it was to show you how wrong you really are.  Why don't you listen to Him?  God Bless.

because Satan is at work destroying God's creation. It will never get better until the End.  Then everything will be destroyed with fire.

man, i feel bad for you. you're playing on the wrong team. God is so real. it seems like everyday he's proving himself (to me anyway). i mean there are times i look back and it could have only been God that got me through. God gives me peace, protection, and he is a great provider. My first year in college I didn't have a job or a dime to my name, but God made a way for me. He made is so that I was never hungry, and that I never wanted for anything. to you God might be an "invisible friend" but for me he is my best friend. the bible is a guide that tells us how to live. and if people live right they dont have to fear God. he gave his only son for us, do you really think that he wants to destroy us? to cripple us with fear? No, thats not him, he is loving. I'm sorry if you feel that God has failed you, or that he's not real, because you're missing out.
