Oh, yes. Jere is a cultist.Cult mumbo jumboWhy do you suppose the mind is against the idea of a God it has never seen?I am no longer 100% against religion. Now I'm just 95% against it. I can see it clearly provides comfort to people.really?......do you think a Christian life is wasted?......how fucking sad.....
For me it isn't necessary. And no matter how much I want to believe in heaven, I can't. The more I think the less I believe. Even when I'm at my most vulnerable I can't get myself to believe.
But I see why people do.
I notice you said the more you think the less you believe. That is understandable because the carnal mind is at enmity with God, Sealy. See Romans 8:7 (KJV). It is with your heart that you believe (see Romans 10:10). It is by hearing the Word of God and mixing it with faith that the Gospel of Jesus Christ shall profit your soul.
It is written:
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Hebrews 4:2
God's desire for you is that His Word give you comfort (not just others). Jesus said,
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:29
The Lord loves you, Sealy.
Actually I disagree. I see people who don't believe any religions but still believe in God. They say"how can all this have been created by itself". So it's very easy for people to believe.
Your Lord does not love me unconditionally. I have to believe the unbelievable to earn it's love. Otherwise I burn in hell for all eternity. Something I wouldn't even do to my worst enemy.
Why did God create me with a carnal mind?
We were all born into this world with carnal minds, Sealy. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (see John 3:6) Ye must be born again. (See John 3:16) What does this Scripture mean to you when you read it?
Romans 5:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
King James Version (KJV)

speaking of the carnal mind, read this:
Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
King James Version (KJV)
