I dunno, I can’t imagine living without one. But a lot of people evidently don’t agree with us, TennnesseeNana, as they are trying to drive God out of our country.
When I said God did not require us to have a relationship with him, I meant that he gave us free will to chose. The many chose not to have one and stay independent from Him, you know.
However, he did tell us that if we follow his Commandments plus we accept the offer of grace, thru Jesus Christ, we will triumph over human death and walk in partnership with Him through the universe for eternity. I chose that because of the love and peace that goes along with it. I wish more people would. But even God won’t force them. He could, but he won’t. He could’ve just made us all robots with no choice, but he wants a loving relationship with his creations.

Kid you and I dont agree
Lets get that straight
You have said some unGodlike things to FRiends of mine that I do agree with and who I admire and look up too
Im not into that “free will” thingy that sounds too much like Mormonism
I always refer to God as Him, He, His etc
That important reverent capital H is missing in your posts
and I dont knopw where you got this blasphemy
“thru Jesus Christ, we will triumph over human death and walk in partnership with Him through the universe for eternity”
But its not in the Christian Bible
BTW Did I tell you that I have read the Bible through completely nearly 60 times and studied it continually for nearly 60 years ???
No ???
Well I thought you might put some importance on that fact...
Its neither here nor there to me but you keep merntioning stuff like that...
Did the thief on the Cross next to the LORD Jesus Christ ever read the Bible or get a minor in religion ???
I thought you might heave come across that info in all your extraBiblical reading
Oh well
