Zone1 So you think God loves you

... My parents never gave me anything ...

They gave you for sure your body. So "never ... anything" is something else.

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.

What about if no one gave her credit? What about if she had not to pay for something else so she was able to do the payment, what about ...
 
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.

Not the way Universe works .
You are part of Universe and Universe itself .
You have to learn this and become that part and the whole at the same time .
Self and Universe awareness

Think Quantum and Luiza and you will get there eventually .

You can what about for the next hundred years and still wonder what about.

The fact is, she worked hard, got herself a car and said God answered her prayers.

It seems a petty thing to pray for and a petty thing for Him to consider, to me.
 
My God gave me life, the capacity to think and feel, a sun to keep me warm, delicious food to eat and an entire planet to store all my stuff in. It's that's not love, I don't know what is.

Not everyone has any food to eat, let alone delicious food and no stuff to store. What about them? Does God love them? Does He also love those born without the capacity to think?

You are an angry little man. But my God loves even you.

Do we love them enough to provide work and provisions that this earth provides for all of us? God's work is spiritual; ours is physical. It is people, not God, who struggle to love those with physical and mental disabilities. I have worked with these people. My experience is that they can be loved more by us, and as that is the case, God's love is topping all the love we can give.
 
So God loves everyone but despises their sin and won't let someone in egregious sin into Heaven.

It's such a total lie that "good deeds won't get you to Heaven" as some protestant pastors say. The Word says just the opposite, that we will be judged by what we DO.

One thing we must do is stop committing mortal sin.

Most people take sin lightly these days. But they don't realize that when they sin, they 86 God out of their souls...

a big thing since "no impure thing will enter Heaven"

some pastors are just big liars, or if they really believe their own BS, they are still big UN-truth tellers... which is the same thing in th end
Matthew 7:

22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Do not for one moment think your works can earn your way into heaven. Let's put it this way. I think we would all agree that Bill Gates has a very nice house. You want to spend a week in Bill Gate's house, so you drive up to the gate. A voice asks you what you want. You say you want to spend the week in the house. What does the voice ask you?

1. How nice are you?
2. How many times have you donated your used computer equipment to charities?
3. Do you use an Apple device?
4. Have you used Microsoft Windows regularly in the past 6 months?

or does it ask

5. Does Bill Gates know you and has he invited you to spend the week?

The point is, Bill Gates invites people he knows into his house. Not good people, not nice people, not strangers. He invites in people he knows, and so does God. Just like you can't demand entrance to Bill Gates' house because you've done a bunch of nice things but don't know him, you can't expect entrance to God's house unless you know Him and He knows you. Now, if you know Him, you WILL do good things, you can't help it. If you're not doing good things, better check your relationship. IOW, those good deeds are not things you do hoping they'll give you the inside track with God, you do them because He guides you into them and you want to please Him.

When I got married, I did not ask my wife for a list of 10 things that she expected me to do for which I could demand her happiness. "You can't be mad at me; I did all 10 things on the list this week!!" No, I watched her, learned what she liked and tried to do those things to the best of my ability because I wanted to make her happy in the moment. Far too many of us expect to hold our works over God's head and demand that He accept us when the reality is that we can no more earn His favor than we can swim from California to Hawaii. Some might make it further than others, but no one is going to walk out of the surf on the Hawaiin beach.

You're incorrect in more ways than one. I'm quite content and not a man.
 
What has the atheist Adolf Hitler to do with what in this context?

the love the desert dwellers, christians have for them when they overwhelmingly voted hitler into office ...

Really. Where did Constantine come up with the idea?
His conquest of Rome and installing Christian elements into Roman paganism ring a bell? Oh I forgot, you belong to a "church" that places a mere human (Mary) over YHWH Himself, and is responsible for the systematic murder of millions of true Evangelic Christians who would not bow down to the Pope. Remember, we are still officially called heretics.
