Good News For The Day

‘For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’(John 6:33)

"That it is possible for us to know God through Jesus Christ, should not surprise us. We all gained our notions of God from persons. Our first impression of God was from our mother, who cradled us in her own body, and made us feel that there was love in the world. Then we learned from our father, who helped us to know that love does not mean chaos; it means order and law. We grew up, and others still, gave us insights into the spiritual realm that we inhabit. Our ideas of God have all been transmitted to us by human instruments."

That is a great thing, because it means that the most important things we need to know, are accessible to us all. You do not have to be an expert, or a specialist to know God. You only need to be a person. The lowliest person can fall in love. In Jesus day, the common people listened to him gladly. Why? Because the common folk know a great person when they meet one."

"Jesus was, and is, the greatest personality ever. He presents God to us in a form we can use. By knowing him, we can begin to know God, and so eat the food of eternal life."

I give up...I guess it just too much to ask that I get a straight answer from you. You have wore me down with your nonsense and evation. (Are you sure you aren't a Democrat?)
You win...there, go wallow in your "victory".

And second of all....What gives YOU the right to preach to me? You know nothing about me....
Guess you are the guy that walks down the street wearing a placard "The end of the world is nigh"...passing out your little brainwashing tracts.
Save ytour preaching for someone that needs saving.

Sorry to sink down to his level again people, but that last post just pissed me off..I am sick of that sanctamonius, holier-than-thou,know it all, smart-ass little twit.
My apologies to all (except one)
