Sometimes I just shake my head at those who seem to think we who subscribe in UR spend our time reclining on a chaise lounge, eating grapes, enjoying literal or figurative orgies of disobedience, knowing we can do whatever the heck we want because the price has been paid for all of us (and like we all look for every little opportunity to sin because it's already paid for; awfully simplistic AND WRONG). Life has been quite grueling for me and many others for the past few years, to be quite honest.
Thanks for sharing. Life was not easy for the Lord and although He knew what the glorious end would be, He had to suffer. God bless and peace.
I am an Atheist and, because of my upbringing and also because of my basic human decency, I know right from wrong and I know how to treat people fairly and with respect.
I am afraid of not realizing when I do. I fear my ego and the temptation to deny that I sinned, afterwards. I get it that Motive matters, and that I cannot be saved without Humility and honesty.
afraid of sin, ubetcha. just bek god loves me does not mean i am not held accountable for my actions.
unfortunately, we have created God in our image. we are utterly opposed to punishment of any kind and believe in the eternal 2nd chance. God does not play that.
when this false belief is destroyed it will get better and not b4.

You may call yourself atheist. I call you "in tune" with God within you.

Perhaps. But it certainly isn't the fundamentalist direction in which I was raised and tried harder to follow than you will ever know, Finn.
It is better to let the Spirit guide you than to try on your own.
