Remember that God is no liar. He is incapable of lying or sinning. Therefore, He is trustworthy in keeping His Word and promises. He always has our best interest at heart. He's never out to hurt us, but to bless us and help us in any way He can. He loves us like no other can. No one will ever love us more, than Jesus does.

I think if the answer was "yes" then you would have been only too happy to say so.
I think that since you're avoiding answer a straight question with a straight answer that the answer is self-evidently a hard "NOPE".
But feel free to correct me on that.
Did they or didn't they?

I'm only too happy that you're using your brains for once. You're thinking for yourself for a change. Amen.

It's interesting to watch this man talk about "evidence" and "reasonable doubt" because there is no evidence that Jesus actually existed so it is perfectly reasonable for someone to have doubts. So why does having doubts make me an evil sinner in the eyes of some? I've been told by Catholic priests that I'm going to hell because I'm not a Catholic, told by Baptist ministers that I was going to hell because I doubted the existence of Jesus. Seems to me the only consistent belief here is that I'm going to hell, so might just as well accept it, right?

Won't wash.
Most are with Him in Valhalla of course but there are some still living. Where are all the witnesses to your god?

Won't wash.
Really? Explain why. From a purely impartial, objective POV, how does it differ from what you say about your god?

@GodSpeed63 You need to get your eyes checked.

@GerOttman I was being facetious above. Sorry but you're asking the wrong person, while I was raised a Christian, I long ago abandoned that and was branded as a heretic for all the reasonable questions I had, like you ask here. Based on what I remember, you needed to be constantly forgiven as Man is a sinner, even once someone is saved, they continue to sin in the eyes of God so they needed to be forgiven over and over. Perhaps someone with better knowledge than mine can answer your question though?
GerOttman · 70-79, M
@spjennifer Sounds right to me from that perspective. I did 12 years of catholic school myself. Just seemed an interesting question.

@Bushranger Oh, he’ll lie low for a day or two, and then put the needle back in the same old groove

@newjaninev2 He's certainly predictable.
How do you know bubble wrap doesn't?

I usually ask myself why I am doubting and then go to the Word and find the solution.

@RedBaron
Has anyone asked for your help?
I bet christians would soon object if Satanists went around trying to help people find their way back to Satan. Actually I bet most practising christians would object to any other religious group (even other christians sects) proselytizing as they do.

Why would I care how your 'it' looks at me? I care only how my Father in Heaven sees me.
It’s how it looks to me.

I suggest that if anyone is in doubt of God then read your Bible, and do what it says and then see how God will bless you.

@Sharon why would I slag off others beliefs, I'm simply interested in what you believe!

@TheWildEcho
why would I slag off others beliefs,
I didn't say you did, I just pointed out that christians often do disparage others' beliefs.I'm simply interested in what you believe!
I thought I'd made that clear.

Why is my question? Why create this elaborate system of good and evil just to test the faith of something so puny as humans? Could it be because your god can't exist without man? In one sentence you say god didn't create satan ,in the next you say he did.Why does logic apply to everything in the world except religion?Fact is your god can not exist without man.
Even true believers have doubts. I myself do. 😯 Tis human nature.

wow didnt know doubts only arise if you are a christian?

@GodSpeed63 If you actually bothered to read what you try to dismiss out of hand, you'd know that the "it" in my comment referred to @newjaninev2's point, not your made up yahweh thing.
Keep making a fool of yourself, it gives us all a good laugh.

If you actually bothered to get to work on supporting your claims, Sharon, a lot of our conversations could've been avoided. Your 'yahweh thing' is not my God.

@GodSpeed63 Still waiting for you to offer some shred of evidence to support your ridiculous claims.
'yahweh thing' is not my God.
Why do you keep banging on about it then, calling it your "father in heaven"?
