So let me get this straight, life won't go right for me unless I believe in Yeshua

That doesn't sound like much of a choice. Ultimatum type of thing, either you believe in me or you suffer. Kinda cruel maybe.

And it's not just about believing, it's following all these rules and abstenance.

Believing whole hartedly in Yeshua is believing that he is everywhere and manifested through everyone so thats kind of creepy to me.

Am I talking to my dad, brother or you Yeshua. If that's you behind them then are they really their own person, insanity.

Who ever said that living should be fair? ;)
lol... Well basically it's the same for every religion. Believe in the True God, or suffer defeat. So why do people like myself put up with it? Well since our God Jehovah is not an evil God. It'd be different if he wanted us to suffer, but he truly wants us to feel good, to relax, and enjoy life. Therefore we can continue to wholeheartedly believe in that he wants to do us good. If he wasn't a loving God, no one would put up with it.

It would be worse if we didn't even have a choice. At least now we can choose to die if we'd rather not exist than believe in God.

I'm not sure which religion you believe in, but I can only speak for myself.

@MartinTheFirst yeah but why does he have all these rules. Casual and consensual sex is not an issue to me worthy of eternal damnation. Sex is human nature and nothing to be ashamed of or sin, unless the person is perverted to the extreme.

@dark548 God loves rules, it's simply how he makes things work and he finds them to be holy. Also if you think about it God only wants us to love him, and how could we show that we love him if we do not even follow his rules? And of course, the rules are not just there for no reason. I believe that humans naturally feel better if they stick to one single partner and truly work on that relationship. The rules are good for us as well.

@MartinTheFirst Is God is everyone and everywhere then he is you and the person you've been having sex with. That is creepy and insane to me.

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@dark548 Yes that is insane, and that's not what I believe lol.

@MartinTheFirst Then we are in loopy land for lack of better word. Subjective non rational land.

@dark548 You should consider a different faith if your current one doesn't make sense to you.

As an example, we believe that The Almighty God Jehovah is His own person, that He has a son named Jesus Christ, and that Jehovah created all angels and mankind into our own individual personalities. Jehovah is giving us power to survive, but he [b]is[/b] not us.
