Oh I’ve definitely found God lol. Saved my life. Suddenly truck sober and drug free after a life devoted to such, as soon as I asked God what it wanted me to do. That’s all it took to start my 2nd life. I’m living proof God comes to all who seek. Different forms and ways for each person.

Now, I haven’t found YOUR version of God, but not everyone can be as lucky as me.

I want no part of angry self righteous fear-driven people, and their similar god they created in their own image.

You must be a real joy at parties. When you’re not burning witches or thumping your book. Just a guess.

The New Testament plan is to find God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Lots of other beliefs claim to have found God but there is only one path.

I pray you are on that path.

C'mon, you're the one who cited books, namely, Heinlein and Rand. Real buzzkill at parties, dude, unless you're in mom's basement trying to decide between hand lotion and the PlayStation.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The whole thing is a lie and a false teaching of Rome.m

So I must assume that you've tried it and it didn't work for you....

Why ever would someone try snake oil, magic charms and devote themselves to a long dead human when one can go straight to the Living God and His throne of grace? Please

No question.

Say the world, and everyone in it, caught a deadly disease, and my son’s blood had a factor in it that could cure everybody, but every drop would be required, right now to cure it.

I’d be inclined for folks to thank me for the cure derived from my dead son’s blood, even though I was giving them the cure for nothing.

Those that saw the cure as an entitlement, I’d be inclined to watch them die in front of me.

To think that you could be hip, or whatever, and suddenly your name would appear on some list like some bouncer outside a dance club; it is a dangerous premise to sell your parishioners.

As I understand it, you left the true church of Christ and joined some man made re-interpretation of Christianity.....good luck with that.....let's see, there are how many Protestant denominations???????

How many Roman Catholic denominations are there? It seems to me there are as many as there are Roman Catholics watching y’all here. BTW I belong to the true Church. No matter what you say. Christ knows me and I know Him

While I am not a chrstian, I am not bothered in the least by the the traditional doctrine that all not "saved" are headed for hell. Why do people care what chrstians believe if they don't believe chrstianity in the first place?

Rather than change the internal beliefs, I prefer converting chrstians to the Noahide Laws. If not this, then what does it matter what chrstians believe?

PS: It's a Black congregation, am I right? The Black churches apostacized long ago. First they sold their soul to the Democrats, and now they've gone full bore Gramsci.

That’s a good question Mom, but I swallowed that snake oil, when I was a catholic, but I am an ex catholic now, so I don’t do snake oil anymore. It’s a beautiful thing. Everyone should try it. 😁🤣👍
