Does God live in you? [Spirituality & Religion]

[b]Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
John 14:22:23 [/b]

Here is the word for word from Greek and Hebrew version

[b]22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 14:22-23

@EmosaurNo, when Jesus and the Holy Spirit is in us we love God and He hears our prayers, and gives us the desires of our hearts.

@Emosaur He helps me with everything, like money, house, health, joy, safety, gives me good weather wherever I am, He answers my prayers. My cousins told me that whenever you come to Sweden its nice and sunny. I'm telling you he hears me when I cry to him.

@Emosaur Well I understand that to the world some have it good and some don't, but this life is a journey. I haven't always been blessed. God had to mold me, and I yealded to him and gave him my life because he gave me his life. But I still have times of waiting periods where I am just praying and waiting on God to answer my prayers. It keeps me humble. God wants us humble. But he can hear and help anyone who sincerely calls on Him at the same time. God is not limited to what he can do He can do anything right now. He controls the weather and everything.
I can pray for you if you want?

@Emosaur The money thing refers to greed, one of the seven deadly sins. You do however have to support yourself and family with it.

@Emosaur God talks a lot about how important money is. We should work hard for money, take good care of it, help people, and be good stuards of what He gives us.

But
[b]"the LOVE of money is the root of all evil" He says.[/b]

@Emosaur He did create us in paradise first, but we sinned. All the world is cursed because of our sins.

When people pray for you God blesses you whether you are thankful or not is another question, but it would help if you yeald to Him and repent and ask Him to give you wisdom and sincerely help you, also.

And why doesn't he just create us humble to begin with?

We have a choice to love or not to love. We are not robots. Our God gives us freedom.

@Emosaur We can't understand God completely, but we know he loves us because he died ant took all of the worlds sins on his own shoulders, to show us what love looks like. He expect us to love like that. You don't have to follow Jesus, you can choose to regent him. but I would encourage you to love Him and love people then you will be blessed. I did answer all these already. Yes He knew we would fall, and that's why He set up a salvation program. I can't describe the entire Bible. Please read it so you understand more. I am happy to pray for you though?

It never helped me even when, as a christian, I did believe in it.

@suzie1960 I am so sorry that you had bad experiences and felt that God did not help you.

Didn't wiping out the entire population of the World, apart from Noah and his family, work then? How come he didn't know that beforehand?

@Emosaur [quote]I did and it made me an atheist.[/quote]
I became an Atheist after reading the bible too. I was a christian at the time so I was even reading it with "god's" guidance.

@suzie1960 I think he gave us a chance to love him, and others but we failed.

Just as he knew we would, or would have known if he existed and was as omniscient is he's supposed to be.

@suzie1960 The highest virtue to God is love. He gives us many chances, and that is why Jesus took the entire worlds sins on his shoulders so we can live in paradise forever in peace. This world is short. We all die, some young some old, but there is an after life where the there are no tears. God tries to get our attention if we ignore him to get us back to him. It doesn't end here!

"No eyes have seen, no ears heard what God has prepared for those who love Him"

I hope you will be there in heaven with the rest of your loved ones after death. God draws us to himself in many ways. I care about you and feel like God put it on my shoulders to pray for you and your family!

Yes, and that's it for us. I see no reason to believe in an afterlife. If such a belief gives you comfort, fine. I'm just concerned that you're misleading others.

@suzie1960 And I am concerned that you are deceived by Satan like the rest of the world.

Don't worry about me, I'm OK now. I was being deceived by christianity but I saw through its lies and was able to break free. If Satan exists, maybe He helped me.
