Ever heard of tongue in cheek?
As far as my faith goes, I reckon I am okay, I'm doing the best I can. I do not have a faith-metre on my sleeve, so who knows, some days are good, other days are tougher. Don't knock everyone, personally I doubt if faith alone is the answer, I mean loving the game sometimes means you have to play it as well! You gotta DO to be, you gotta BE to do!
Verstaan? Comprehendo? Understand?

Does everyone feel like there is something missing or something is out of place?

Absolutely, that is exactly why we were given a free will. God wants us to choose Him. For every man's way is right in his own mind but that way surely leads to damnation. Wide is the gate that leads to hell but narrow is the gate to Heaven for noone will reach the father but through Christ for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus taught this as this was how the gates to the cities were controlled and security was kept in those times. The gates into the cities were very narrow so that everyone could be checked on their way in so as to keep the riff raff and criminals out. This example was used so that everyone may understand that it will be the same entering Heaven. If Jesus knows you, He may advocate on your behalf to the Father. For Him to know you requires a relationship and that you receive His gift of salvation, joy, peace, and the comforter in this life and ultimately the gift of eternal life in His presence.

BTW: I'm not a preacher. I'm just another searcher that after many years of searching has come to the most logical and plausible explanation for that which can't easily be explained. For those that have an ear, let him hear and gain understanding from the Word of God. His Word is the Holy Bible and is still the best seller today. The richest man in the history of the world was also the wisest. He made many mistakes which I'm sure brought about his great wisdom. His name was King Solomon. I encourage you to read his writings in the Book of Proverbs.

I may sound a little over the top but I'm not a complete lunitic, I just appear to be one, if my messages have been misunderstood I'm simply saying, faith in God and a willing heart to search him is all that is needed, I agree it is your own choice to believe what you want to believe. But like Erin said I'd also encourage anyone reading all this to read ecclesiastes, look at one mans fight to find meaning and purpose in the things in life descovering that fulfillment is only found in God. Many may try and shove God down your through, yell and scream at you which I may have come off as in my messages, but I believe there is a lot of confusing in the way of the Christian, it's not about doing all the right things, religion saved absolutely no one, in Jesus' time and it still won't save anyone today. You can go to church on a sunday or a wednesday, God don't care, he simply enjoys the fact you've come into a place of worship with him…

The Molten Blinkers. None af you are aware, none of you. A small village in England, a “cult” The Molten Blinkers. Where have they all gone? Once the village of Reaversham was on every map, once the home of Molten Blinker tradition. Now Reaversham appears on no map. I continue my study of lamp posts. The reasearch findings are nearing completion. No solar or sonic realm is untouched by the vibration of a lamp post, the city takes from what is deposited. The Molten Blinkers will return. Pekka x

Sorry to bust your bubble on the year 2012, but the end of the age will be HIS return not on an ass but from above “UFO” ? to do battle ! Do you hear that ? To do battle. I f you read your bible you will prove this to yourself. He comes to stop man from destroying all human life with his NUKES and other nasty weapons. He returns to destroy China and Russia who come together to do battle in the valley of “Armageddon” 2012 comes from the Aztec. The Aztec use a device called “DIAL” NOT a calendar !
Jesus will be returning 1260 days from April 17th, 2008 from the time the Pope stepped foot on American Soil.
Disaster after disaster will fall upon the USA and it's allies and will intensify till they ” the 12 tribes of Israel” are powerless and become humble before GOD. American is one of the 12 tribes mentioned in the Bible !
Jesus did not come to save the world but build HIS Church, if you find the Church , then you have been called by GOD. Do not think you have been called if you are not Keeping the Sabbath Holy “Friday Sunset to Saturday Sunset is GOD's Sabbath…read your Bible ! Prove all things ! ….the Sabbath is not a Jewish Sabbath, no matter what people say ….
Now you can go ahead and mock all you want, but let time from here on in be your witness to what I have said here. I do not debate but speak from knowledge ! BEWARE of scripture torture, Satan and his demons are in this world twisting truth with lies !
Enjoy your life and be kind to each other… I blind man does not see colour / color

Hi Ismeal, if thats your name , were you named after the son of Abraham,? anyway, just wanted to say, its great to see someone enlightning everyone about the true sabbath, which is friday sundown till saturday sundown, God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, jesus did not change the sabboth day to sunday. Its only people that changed the sabbath to sunday, namely the romans, i will not even credit i would not even credit them with a capital letter.

What's all this God crap? Religion is what's wrong with the world. More and more people are waking up to this fact, that's why belief in these fairytales is falling. I'm not saying one religion is better or worse than any other, I'm saying they're all as bad as each other. They all teach that you should condemn anyone that doesn't believe what you believe. For instance, there was a time in England when you could be beheaded for being Catholic and another time when you could suffer the same fate for being protestant, depending on the Monarch in power at the time. Be your own God if you want one. You are responsible for your own actions, good or bad. There is no God that makes you do good things and there is no Devil tempting you to do evil. You harp on and on about having free will but then if you do something bad you go to your cleric and beg forgiveness. Even then after begging forgiveness, you go out and do exactly the same thing, that's not what being sorry is, it's not just a word, being truly sorry means you're not going to do it again. I can't go out into a city centre without being subjected to bible bashers preaching at me what I should or should'nt be doing but that is for me to decide. I don't break the law, I have morals and I have manners but these are nothing to do with religion. If I do a good thing I feel pride, which whether you religious nutballs want to believe it or not is JUST A BASIC HUMAN EMOTION…yet you believe it a sin.
If you look at all the war and conflict in the world, the vast majority can be traced back to religion. WWII…Hitler persecuting the jews because he couldn't stand the fact that he was Jewish. Wars between Israel and Palestine…purely based on religion…all the trouble in Ireland, fighting because the Catholics couldn't get along with the protestants. You preach peace and love towards all men but the moment someone disagrees with you, you persecute them. That's what I call hyopricitical. Maybe once religion has faded into nothing people will actually be able to get along.
I realise that most people on this website are probably yanks who blindly believe in a God with no proof that he actually exists (and no, there is NO proof that he exists as you can't prove a lie to be true), and are probably going to get really upset with what I have said, but I don't care. I am entitled to my beliefs just as you are, and it's not my fault that you don't have the intelligence to see the truth. What else should I expect from a nation that voted George Bush back into power even after they knew what he was like?
Oh, one last thing…evolution happened. Deal with it.

I would rather go thru life believing in the one and only God, the Father of Jesus, and die, only to find that there is no God, than to go thru life denying God, then die, and find out that HE is. I invite each of you to consider the following:
1. A devout Christian, and a professed Athiest, each plant a seed in the ground. Which one of them can make the seed grow?
2. Evolution versus Creationalism - If this world (and all of the cosmos), are the result of a “Big Bang”, as evolutionist proclaim, where did the elements that exploded come from?
If you answer truthfully, then you will confess that you simply do not know, nor can you prove, the answer to either. That, people, is the essence of Faith. “ Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen……Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11-1

I have a question. Why does everyone bring up the Christian side of God? Why label faith? All I get from this is that Christianity is right and everyone else is wrong. I think that is very egotistical of all Christians. I have faith for Him, but not in anyway labelled by man. I'm proudly not Christian. Pretty much 99.9% of all hardcore Christians are all hypocrites. Same with any religious nut. Racism also so seems to be profound in any massive religious area. Why? I'll talk to anyone and show them respect. I'll only lose that respect if it's not shown back. I went to church once and was shunned just for being part native american. I'll never go again.

Hi metalhead. Tred here. I've got a bunch of grandkids tryin' to eat the doorknobs around here, so I can't elaboprate. Catch ya tomorrow! God bless!!!!
