Is there a Supreme Being who hates or loves their creation?
What do you hope?

[h=1]John 3:16King James Version (KJV)[/h]16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Obviously not everyone believes this but it is what I believe.
Probably not the thread to ask this, but ask it I shall. What took God so long?
He was waiting on you.
Well, He says he does... and given how many times I'd have been dead or ruined but for a last-ditch miracle, I'm inclined to believe Him.
A really sweet old lady told me that Jesus loves me in an IHOP yesterday.
I mean she's wrong, but it was sweet.
I trust you're dragging her ass to court for trying to force her religious beliefs on you.
Goshin, I happen to know you've seen His light........... I expected more faith from you.
I'm curious as to how he knew she was wrong?

Nothing he said demonstrated any lack of faith, my friend. In a conversation with those who are not similarly so convinced as we are, it's often helpful to provide some background for why we have faith in God as well as belief in the word of God. I want Goshin to correct me if I'm wrong but what I took from his post is that, in Goshin's experience, his faith has proven to be well placed because he has seen God work in his life. God needs no justification to be sure, but people often want to know WHY we believe or may even assume us to be mindless followers if all we say is that we have faith but don't follow up with why we do.
LOL. If she was serious then she picked up his check.
You want me to explain 'hope'? If you don't have it or others have none than I can't give it to you, though few perish without it. I think Goshin has seen hope, so don't address it too me. As for others, I know what their minds are at the end, do you?

No I don't.
I try to learn as little as possible so as to keep the bar low as possible. :mrgreen:
I can think of a number of reasons unrelated to whether she was serious why she may not have done that but I understand your point, Risky. The absolute best witness you can be is not just to say what you believe but to live what you believe.
Highly unlikely. If there is one, it'd be nice to have some evidence of them.
I don't understand the purpose of this question. Deities either exist or they don't. If you wanna know what I hope, it is that mankind can follow the evidence precisely where it leads regarding this.
I apologize X, I should've known better than to question you on this subject. You know what few of us hope to understand.
My fault for the miscommunication, brother. I laughed at your post re "dragging her ass into court." There was no point in my response other than to be funny. I feckin failed.
