GOD'S had enough! has he given up on us? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)1 month ago

Ive been thinking recently about the fact that people have alot of faith inthe fact god will forgive us for anything and to this day he still will.
So wheres your proof?
Im Starting to think that maybe he has had enough! Maybe he is looking down on us thinking "i know i said i would forgive, but you lot are taking the biscuit"
Because we dont seem to have any up to date proof, all we have is the bible that was written so long ago. With most other things in life people would want more up to date proof than this dont you think?
This interests me as i once did not even believe enough to comment however since doing the alpha course i seem to have a little more faith but not quite enough! Please comment tell me what you think.:S

it all comes down to faith, you either have it or ya dont, period.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  1 month ago

Faith needs to be built though, upon belief. Doesnt it stand to reason that faith can become somewhat useless when it comes to something people rely on so much!


myLot reputation of 79/100. max1950 (1390)  1 month ago

IT STARTED WITH ME oops 54 years ago in catholic school not that i continued in there but over the years good and bad ive learned not to question my faith, it only got me into trouble. but that me, everyone is different, whatever floats your boat.

proof? that is where your faith comes in. The Bible will never be out dated and bottom line, if we have a person now a days say that God told him this or that, nobody would believe him and he would be medicated quickly.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  1 month ago

I know what your saying but why does God leave it down to faith? If he is this all powerful wonderful being dont you think that maybe he would give us the proof that alot of us need to actually believe?
I am trying believe me in the past i wouldnt have even asked these questions i would have just said its all a load of codswallop! So i think something is working!

Even though the Bible was written very long ago it still applies to our day. In fact now more then ever. The bible predicted that many of the trials we are facing today would happen. It foretold the many natural disasters that are now happening all over the world. The love of fellow men cooling off, children disobeying parents & being disrespectful, hunger in different parts of the world, wars, incurable illnesses....etc...etc. Of course none of these things are done by God. In fact is right now he is not even the ruler of this world. Satan the Devil questioned God's right to rule when he lead Adam & Eve to sin in the garden of Eden. He lead them to believe that they didn't need God & that they could live their lives as they wished. God gave us all free will so He let man live as he so chooses in order to prove that man cannot live without God's guidance. God also had to prove Satan for the lair that he was & still is. So he allowed Satan to have free run over all the earth. Does that mean that there is no hope for mankind? Of course not. Someday in the near future God will finally step in & put an end to this wicked world & all it's wicked people. The earth will eventually turn back into the paradise that it was originally supposed to be. There will be no more crime, hate, sickness, death, or hunger. In fact all those who have passed away will be resurrected. Thats the day that I look forward to. I long to see many of my family members once again. So you see God maybe silently watching everything right now, but it wont be much longer before He steps in & puts an end to everything wicked & bad.

I admire your faith, and can only wish that one day i will have as much faith as you, but i still have loads of questions that need to be answered and ive been told that i will find the answers in the Bible however, i cant bring myself to read it. Im not sure why maybe im just worried that it will bore me and therefore further my disbelief!?!? im not sure.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (986)  1 month ago

I wont lie. There are parts of the Bible that I find confusing or even boring, but the Bible as a whole is very interesting. I love the stories of Noah & Abraham. Their faith was amazing & their stories help build up my own faith as well. There are so many stories written about God's faithful people that I know that you wont find the whole Bible boring. You can't expect faith to just come to you. You have to build up your faith, to look for it as you would fine gold or a precious jewel. The Bible is the one place you will find it & the more you read it the more faith you will have. God cannot lie, so you can put your trust in the bible since it was written by Him through man.

Thanks robswife you have given me alot to think about, even as we have discussed this on here tonight its made me realise i must have some faith to even be questioning it!
Thank you very much.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (986)  1 month ago

Your more then welcome. If you have anymore questions please feel free to contact me at any time. It's so easy to lose your faith in the world we currently live in. There are temptations & distractions everywhere we turn. Thats why now more then ever we need to stick close to God. He is our only hope for a better future.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  1 month ago

I dont think i am ready to be totally with God as i know i sin all day everyday! even little sins are sins all the same like cursing etc so i just dont know how i can follow him honestly and to the full maybe when i start i will find my faith?!?!


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (986)  1 month ago

The best thing to remember is that no one is perfect. We were all born in sin & so we are all considered sinners. God understands that & forgives us. There are times when I get angry & a curse will slip out. I ask God for forgivess & try harder to not have such slip ups again, but of course I know that I am not perfect & that if I don't curse I will have a slip up of another kind. Satan likes to use our sins against us. His most powerful tool is to make us feel we are not worthy to serve God. Sadly most of us believe just that & so we do not serve Him. It's just important to remember that you are not perfect & that God not only understands this but loves us in spite of this. Also remember that if we ask for forgiveness & try our best not to commit the same sins over & over God will always forgive us & He will also give us the strength to resist the urge to sin in the future. There is nothing we can accomplish on our own. We need God to help us everyday & if we ask for that help He will help us. Even if He doesn't help us right away God always comes through for us. You can trust in that.
