Jesus himself said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Therefore, Ravi is doing exactly what is asked of him; only God is the judge. Let me summarize it like this: God is the judge, the Holy Spirit convicts, and Christians are called to love. It is this simple.

You are no atheist, that is just wishful thinking. You DO believe in God, you just don't want to admit it, because to admit it would confirm to you that you are a sinner and need Gods grace. Look, even satan believes and he trembles because he knows his time is short. You cannot believe in one and not the other. You cannot use the argument of morals and say you do not believe in a moral giver. You believe in God, but you choose not to accept Him or His Son, Jesus Christ. Your problem then is not unbelief, it's rebellion and rejection of the truth. That is sad.....and I think you know why.

I am just briefly passing through this blog....Ahoy. I am just briefly passing through this blog.<br /><br />About me: I'm a forward-thinker, a critical thinker, I value logic and intellect. I have little to no stance on "god/s". I have intentionally experienced dozens of out-of-body experiences and know them to be real, and have met dozens, if not hundreds, of others with the same experiences, sometimes more. I have not had an NDE.<br /><br />I just wanted to commend you on your logic and clear thinking skills. This being an atheistic blog, I did expect an amount of bias, which would probably culminate in eventual dismissal. To see you consider the potential options so clearly is very refreshing, as few people are capable of such clear thinking, and it's a skill I myself continuously strive to develop. I'm especially content with how saying "I don't know" is the best answer that can be given, sometimes. So many people with their comfort zones, whether religion or scientism, try to shoehorn inadequate explanations for matters that are and remain uncertain. People need to become more comfortable with a simple "I don't know...", with the unspoken expectation of "... but I want to find out".<br /><br />Personally, I do not believe in any "supernatural", nor do I perceive any compelling evidence for gods. I simply have my own experiences and my own mind. The reality of OBE's does not imply gods, in my opinion. It is simply a natural mechanism, within the laws of nature. Often erratic, but quantifiable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038763738803791808.post-76509639849685098772014-08-07T03:26:14.731-05:002014-08-07T03:26:14.731-05:00Great post .

Mortimer Adler wrote "Angels are minds without bodies." I've seen angels in dreams, but not in reality. In the dream they were dwarf-like figures about three feet tall and glowing with a green light. I heard angels calling me, but only once. Some years ago I was wishing I could go to another planet. Since I don't have a spaceship, I dimmed the lights and sat meditating trying to teleport myself to an earthlike planet somewhere out in space, While trying to teleport I heard the angels calling me. They were saying, "Come with us." I didn't really hear them but I knew what they were thinking. However, I failed to teleport. Close, but no cigar. They gave me the impression they are zooming around in space between the stars. They go to angel gatherings, meetings and other events.<br />It's a lot of fun for them and they take it very seriously.

They should not have to fix all our mistakes. maybe babies die and no angels do not always save them but each person is put on earth for a reason and maybe the baby was a wake up call for the parents. And who says the baby suffered? the angels could have touched him and made him feel no pain. No one knows for sure about things. Think of God and his Angels as an audience and our lives are like a movie. We don't stop the movie to help the girl who is in a horror movie, do we? We don't call the director and tell him to change the script, do we? No we watch them be tortured and do nothing. And it easier to blame God then to blame our self.

If you do not believe in God, as is evident by your callous exclusion of a capital G in your spelling of His name, then you shouldn't give any credence to satan, which is what you have done by capitalizing the s in his name. Makes me scratch my head. God has given us the choice to accept His gift of salvation, or to reject it. That makes Him a perfect God, and you a mere man. You will die, and you will perish.

He will take care of your needs (not necessarily wants, but sometimes those too) when you call on Him. He doesn't care about what bad things you've down or what bad things you are going to do. He made YOU. And He wants YOU. All you have to do is believe that He is who he says He is. He will wipe your slate clean and give you a new beginning -- a new life.<br /><br />Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for reading. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038763738803791808.post-42687349433509488982013-05-16T17:31:12.908-05:002013-05-16T17:31:12.908-05:00I would like to comment and say that most - if not...I would like to comment and say that most - if not all - of the things you attributed to God are not God's doing at all. I am a Christian and I want to provide a little background on the truth about God. I'm going to use the Bible as my basis because that is the only true source of information on God.<br /><br />You are right. Humans cannot possibly step into the mind of God. It's impossible. How could you ever fit the ocean into a soda can? You can't. We won't ever be able to understand Him which is one of the things that is so wondrous, yet mysterious about Him. We are people, how could we ever understand the one who knitted us in our mother's womb?<br /><br />First, God does not kill nor does he act as an accomplice. In many cases in the Bible (as with Job) he ALLOWS satan to kill. He does not work with him. Why he does that, only God knows. Yet he has a plan (way beyond what we can see) and works for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28). And not what we consider good, but what he considers good. If you read the Bible which I challenge you to, you will be amazed at how merciful God is. I was when I first read it. I understand what you're saying because I thought the same things.<br /><br />You've probably heard of the story of Adam and Eve. They disobeyed God’s command and were punished. As I'm sure you know, there are consequences to everything we do. Generally the good things we do result in good consequences and the bad result in bad consequences -- maybe not immediately, but in the end the action will result in a consequence.<br />This sin is why we have death. It is why people kill each other mercilessly every day. It is why we have natural disasters and war. It is why some people have an abundance of food and others have none. We try to take matters into our own hands. It says this all in Genesis 1-3.<br /><br />The mess of this world is not caused by God. It was caused by us because of the choice he let us make. But God did not just leave us to condemnation and death after Adam and Eve sinned. He sent Jesus who died on the cross in order that we not have to suffer hell and eternal separation from God.<br /><br />The reason we can't be separated from God and why God doesn't want us to be separated from Him is because He knows we need him. You may not believe it, but deep down you know there is a God. You may deny it, but God is alive and working in people's lives today. Not as an accomplice, but as a companion and one who guides. I would not have commented on this article if I did not stake my life on this simple truth -- that God is who He says He is.<br /><br />Just because we cannot see God does not mean he doesn't exist. We can't see wind yet we believe in it because we can feel it and we see its effects. We can't see gravity, but we know its there because it is holding everything down.<br /><br />Jesus says in John 20:29 "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."<br /><br />And Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."<br /><br />No one knows why some people suffer tremendously and others do not. That has always been the question of those who believe in God and those who do not. But there will be a day when ALL of those who believe in God will go up with Him and never have to suffer again. That is why God calls all Christians to go out and tell people about him so that they can have the hope that we have, even if they are suffering. <br /><br />2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038763738803791808.post-3179858722561025352013-03-31T07:00:41.228-05:002013-03-31T07:00:41.228-05:00In total agreement with Closet Atheist and Bobby.
