What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on a bus trying to make his way home?

Good question, but everyone will not go to Heaven.\nDo you think for one minute a loving, almighty God would allow His only Son to go thru such misery if there were not a choice?\nDon't you think He would have chosen another way if there had been another way to redeem mankind?\nYahshua HAD to be the lamb that was slain.  Blood had to be shed.\nWithout the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

When you are not close to God you feel as their is no meaning in life. Let me see if I can explain this. Um...when you don't have God, you are like a body with no oxygen, a lake with no water, you are a life with no meaning doomed to live all eternity in hell. Do you see my point. There is no hope with out Jesus. From experience, I know what it feels like not to be close to God. Every day I felt as if I wanted to die, I was miserable. But don't get depressed. Read the bible, pray, and trust in him. It will get better.

That's nothin. I was on a bus trip once and an older gentleman in the seat next to me died. I didn't know it, he went quiet like, but his head kept flopping over on me. He was sort of leaning forward and I though he was one of those people who could sleep like that. Who the hell knows what you're going to meet on a bus, and I just kept pushing his head back every time we'd go around a curve. I was getting a little tried of it, and wasn't being all that gentle, as I hoped the guy would wake up. Needless to say, he didn't, and man was I was I surprised when we stopped a couple hours later. When I got out of my seat, his head and shoulders flopped into the isle! I was pretty damn startled, I'll tell you that. A lot of things happened then, among them an impatient old lady in a black coast who began poking the guy with her umbrella and telling him to move. The driver finally came back, and was going to give the guy mouth to mouth, but since the body was cold and stiff he decided not too. All kinds of things happened after that, but you talk about a creepy feeling. I haven't ridden a bus since

You are assuming a lot.  I'm neither sinful nor full of shame, I live in a world of light and I try to walk with God everyday.  It's a joyful walk, not one of shame and desperation.\n\nI feel I must follow God, otherwise my life would be in the potty by now lol.  I need His hand on my life, or I'll just mess it up very bad.

there is a price to pay for our actions and disbelief... but God is so far above us ...can we truly understand Him? God is slow to anger and quick to show mercy .... I believe He is a just God ...and will do the right thing always by His very nature

It sounds like you are thinking of Abraham sacrificing his son to God, who is spared by God at the last minute.\n\nI think that if it were to come to pass that you were ever put in that position, it would not be God that would ask you to choose, but it would be God that would help you decide.

No. I think God would find our day-to-day existence kind of boring. Everything amusing thig we do he's probably already thought of.

I believe. It's been a long irritating silence. To be honest, God makes for a crappy pen-pal. I suppose he has more important things to worry about. On the otherhand, just because he isn't paying attention to me, doesn't mean he isn't there. I'm not sure I'd want that much attention anyway. We leave eachother alone, and things seem to work out anyway. What do you mean leave him? Renounce him, or actually leave? Got yourself a space ship? I'm sorry man, a crisis of faith can be unsettling.

We blame God for all the problems in the world; we denounce God for all the misfortunes a person has to endure; but do we praise God for the blessings that we receive?\n\nIt seems to me you are blessed with 'normal faculties' - being able to think, talk and walk. You of all person should show the disabled girl the joy of knowing God's goodness... because it is no accident that you came to know of this person.\n\nYou, of all persons in her life, should lead her to the only happiness that matters... that only God can give. NOW my friend... when even her own parents 'hate' her, you of all people are the one to lead her to God.\n\nWhat have you got to loose? Who has she to depend on?

u r absolutely right.  God is the reason why we are here and He is one and only one who can do anything and everything for us.  He can do miracles if only we believe in Him, no doubting Thomas here........ if only we fully and whole heartedly believe in his capacity and ability to perform miracles, then lo He does miraculous things in our life, which would not have been humanly possible.\n\nso come lets join hands together and praise the Almighty and sing songs in His name and exalt Him and testify His miracles.  come lets spread the message of love and peace, which God wants us to do in this world.  God bless...........

I guess we would all go back home to God.  Otherwise we would be wondering spirits for all eternity, I don't think that would be very nice of our all loving God.

Yes, that is an interesting way of putting things.  God brings us through difficulties in order that we may know Him more and have more of His character worked in us.  Our afflictions, which are but for a moment, work for us a far, far greater weight of eternal glory (2 Corinthians 4:17)!!!

Compared to God, we are all wretches. No doubt about it.
