Zone1 So you think God loves you

[forkintheroad7]

Well, I can assure you that God has a completely different notion on what LOVE is than you do. That's because I have learned a lot in my time on Planet E, plus I have read God's Word (over and over) and been in HIS Church (He founded only one).

If you think "love" is being given everything you want (in this life), you are delusional and headed for major disappointment and heartache--maybe even Hell. Jesus says in so many words that most people end up there! If you don't get what you want from Him asap, you will find yourself very angry with God, assuming that hasn't happened yet, and if you stay ticked until you die... Hell awaits.

We've all prayed for things that God never gave us.

My parents never gave me anything, at least once I left home. Then there are parents who give their little spoiled darlings "everything"--and wonder why they turn out to be hedonistic, narcissist sociopaths only concerned with Numero Uno.

So yeh... maybe it's time to discover how God loves.. and go with that option.

How do you know God founded only one church?

How do you know God founded only one church?

because, being God, He had need of only one. It is stupid humans who think otherwise...

So, which one did he found? Scientology?

You don't pray for "things"....you pray for God's will to be made known to you and for Him to continue to watch over you and grant you discernment.

Catholicism, the only one that can be traced back to the FIRST century.

Luther, Father of Protestantism, came along in the 16th century... a tad late, I'd say...

And how do you know he founded only Catholicism?

Is there any evidence for this? Judaism existed long before Catholicism. And why would he wait until the first century? The world has been around for billions of years.

OK, Church Lady

As you may realize in your more lucid moments, assuming you have any,

"things" applies to "things" that are not actually things...

I can't answer all questions about God. BUt I can answer questions on Catholicism because I, unlike 98% of people here have studied it in depth. I've also studied history of Christianity. Maybe you noticed that I already said that the Catholic religion came to us in the FIRST century with the 12 apostles (or more accurately, when Jesus ascended into Heaven and sent the Holy Spirit).

Protestant religions came along MUCH later

I'm calling YOU

nitpicker

 

[Meister]

Once thing to take in consideration is that there was a reason why Jesus died on the Cross.

Yeh, the world is full of thugs and those who despise God

so that's one big one.

A nitpicker would focus way more on religion than the truly important personal relationship with God.

I knew a lady that prayed for a car when the one she had went klunker. Well, she got one and said He answered her prayers though she went out, picked the car, gave them a down payment and made monthly payments.

I didn't get it.
