you say 'anything is possible' and I agree and say it comes down to this, either you are right (there is no God) and I am wrong, or vice versa. Either way, I win!

My point, for those watching is that there are benefits to believing in the God of the Bible that are applicable in the here and now and not just for the sweet by and by.

I admit that we Christians have not always been good at conveying this to a world that is perishing without Christ. We have weaknesses and foibles (look it up bob) and someday we will have to stand before the King of Kings to answer for our wrongs in this life, not just our words and deeds but our thoughts and motives too. But thankfully, I serve a God who created me and knows my heart (He redeemed it - actually bought it back from the one whom I previously served in ignorance). And for all of us who sincerely "give away that which we cannot keep (our own souls) to gain that what we cannot lose" (a relationship with the God of Heaven through His Son, the promised Messiah), we can expect 'goodness and mercy' to 'follow us all the days of our lives' AND when we get to the end of this life, we get to dwell in the house of the LORD forever!

not a bad deal; believe it or not.

It's nothing personal. It simply doesn't feel right for me to say anything further. I've enjoyed our discussions. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
