I read all of the preceding posts. The more I read, the more I cried for you. I believe in the faith of Gods children who are on this site as well as my own. I have prayed for you and plan to pray for you ceaselessy as Gods word instructs.
I am sorry that your heart has been hardened. There are references even to YOUR particular situation in the Bible (translated it means The Book.) As a result you are getting your own (a worldly) meaning out of the Bible. It seems like you have not done a study on the true character of God. God is love, but He is also Justice.
If He were all mercy there would be no need for His salvation. Anyone could murder, commit adultery, rape, steal, dishonor His name, etc. and never have to worry about it because they will be forgiven every time. You must not have children because if you did you would know a fathers love. He disciplines us BECAUSE He loves us. He wants the best for us, so he shows us the difference between right and wrong. He knows that if we sin we can not be anything but miserable. (Murder, adultery, hate, rape, etc. can ONLY bring misery.) His ways (summed up in one word-love) can only bring happiness. But it requires living by his ways every day. If you mess up you quickly admit your sin (to God and the one/s you offended, if any) and fix that part of your life so you do not make the mistake of doing it again. If your child were to do something wrong you would love them so much that you would show them their mistake. If they then KNOWINGLY repeat the mistake, especially if it could cause them harm, you would Love them so much that you would discipline them in the most affective way. If you do not do this, but instead allow him/her to get away with it or JUST TELL them "no no" you will have a very ill adult on your hands. One that unfortunately will be harder to reach, one who will make it harder on themselves when God comes knocking.
You can either make it easy for yourself or harder on yourself, but it sounds like God is coming for YOU. Gods power is much stronger than our will, which He gave us in the first place. You will be convicted over and over until you acknowledge him as your Father and personal Saviour.
I love you with the love of christ who is sitting at the right hand side of His Father waiting to cleanse you and present you to our maker new and beautiful so that you may have a closer relationship with the only one who will ever love you with an unfailing love no matter who comes in and out of your earthly life. May He Bless you according to the righteousness of your hands and give you a teachable spirit so that you will know His truth and acknowledge His blessings. Amen and Amen.
Are you inerested in Science? Check out answers radio.com(with Ken Ham.) Verrry interesting!
Hope to see you back. It seems that you run at the show of love; but do not run from the love of the Omnipotent One. You may not realize this but your presence has been a blessing. People like you INCREASE the faith of a christian. It is people like you that Jesus came and died for. He showed us that he loved us enough to die for our sins, that we may call upon him to deliver us from them. He arose from the dead to show us that we also may rise again as a new and beautiful person. Sin does not have to reign over us. If you live Jesus' way, you can be FREE from the powers of Satan. (Ephesians 6:12) Satan will no longer have the right to rule over you. Thank you again for this chance to intervene in your life.
