Re: Is this really a support forum for God without religion?

Sometimes it is rather difficult to keep from passing that fine line of shareing and pushing. IF you've read my posts you know I still attend church. My goal it to not only find those who believe as I do, God is love NOT venegence, and to share that not all "churchgoers" believe in tearing others down. Too often the idea of God's venegence is what is taught, and not His love. I know now as an adult that the times of anrgy retribution happened after chances had been given to the people. For instance, the hebrews had been told prior to the ten commandments to stop worshipping idols. And then they did. It's like any parent/child relationship, an important rule was broke and punishment followed. Some rules are an absolute don't break, and the idol thing was just that. Same with the Hebrews wandering in the desert, they were told that God would make them victorious over their enemies and that had already happened, and then they decised that this time it wasn't worth the risk. So they had to wander, Consider it as their being grounded for talking back.

Whether you read the bible or not the important thing to know is that God is love. Every step back God has always provided a way forward. He's always forgiven those who made Him angry. If you ever get curious read Psalm 103, it tells of everything God does for those who love and follow Him. It's very uplifting. The first 5 or 6 verses are the best part. If not, know that God wants your happiness, not your sorrow. You suffer fromproblems of the flesh, not things sent down onto you. However, God does provide many ways to combate those things! Just think of the medical advances. Tweet
