the recent attacts on religion, are not attacks on God, as it seems to be. God is unattackable by mere humans. what is under attack is the religious structure. so dont get it twisted when you hear dummb stuff like no merry christmas and no prayer in school, they are effectless on god and our beleif in him. Religions come and go. stay and change, god is always. so let them do their thing, with the attack in america.

God gave you free wiil and added, that you are in his image. Now add the to the part about "god returning" and you'll figure out that we are on our own in basic day to day stuff, he even metioned leaving us till his return ( cant return if you never leave, cause duh). But dont fret, there are safegaurds built into the system. It is wild to think that god would create us, only to need another to return to him. Also pay close attention to your conscience and your first voice., they are the safegaurds, along with prayer. and if in fact we are in his image, why is blasphemy even a word? God is great, but he is also not found in religion. Ever notice that Jesus tears up every church he entered? ask questions of god not pastors, preists and reverands, thats how you gain faith that sticks to your ribs. and one more thing. jesus did not exist until he was born, then he ascended to heaven. he was a part of the essence of god, begotten (key word, humans are begot, not gods) and born as a man to go through are existence as a peer, to understand why we fail. proof is before christ god killed the world plenty, after none. think, your brain is in his image too, use it. and in the meantime treat others how you'd wanna be, and love peolpe not stuff, cause duhhhhh!!!

the one thing they can try the hardest to do is take prayer out of school. but the only way they can do that is to get rid of all tests and quizzes....

As long as there are tests in school there will always be prayer!

Raci, what in heaven's name are you talking about here?

Sounds like it might be the core of an interesting discussion, but first you need to sort it out a bit. Please be more specific. What sort of 'attacts' are you talking about? And who are the 'attacters'?

Ever notice that Jesus tears up every church he entered? ask questions of god not pastors, preists and reverands, thats how you gain faith that sticks to your ribs.

Actually this is not true if you read the Bible. In fact Jesus only tore up one place and that was the Temple of Herod because they were allowing it to be treated as a 'shoppers den' and not for its real purpose. Secondly, the Bible encourages us to submit and refer to each other and pastors etc as they have responsibility for your soul. In practice you need to "find" pastors that are responsible and godly in this area and there are plenty around. There are also those that are not so good as well. This is where godly wisodm comes into it.



and one more thing. jesus did not exist until he was born, then he ascended to heaven. he was a part of the essence of god, begotten (key word, humans are begot, not gods) and born as a man to go through are existence as a peer, to understand why we fail.





I dont know how this part of your quote follows on from the previous as there is no real connection in what you are trying to say. But taken in isolation Jesus did exist before He was born but not as the human Jesus but as the Son of God. He did not come to understand our failings but to pay the price for our failings/sin. the understanding is part of what he accomplished overall.

proof is before christ god killed the world plenty, after none.

This i dont understand what you are trying to say.

In any event blessings to you.
