What do you think?
  1. The real truth about God
  2. God's Gift of Divine Love
  3. What is a soul
  4. Where did we come from
  5. Why are we here
  6. Where are we going
God isn't complicated. The true definition of "religion" is having a personal relationship with Him. God is Soul and His Substance is Divine Love. This Divine Love is available since Jesus was the first person to receive it. One day it won't be... my unasked for advice is do yourself a favor and... get it while the gettin' is good!


See how easy that was to answer 1 and 2. For those interested in the answers to 3-6, check out this website: Truth for all people - Divine Love God Soul Spirit Life Jesus Truths

God. A religion without God is pointless.

So is a god without a religion just as pointless? Do we really need BOTH if we have one?

Throughout history God has told us how he wants us to worship him. Do you realize that?

Whatever inspires you to live with a concern for the well-being of everyone in whatever situation is under consideration. Religion is just a form to express what is felt in the core of our being.

You want the world to bring you an Ox (bull cow) that produces milk as an evidence tbat is a bull cow.

And just as that, asking an evidence of faith is an oxymoron notion in itself. Faith, by definition, is not based on evidence just as oxen does not produce milk.
False equivalency.

I do not ask for evidence for faith. I ask for evidence for anyone's claims or assertions. Faith doesn't enter into it. They can be asserting something based on faith, or based on any number of things. I am not interested in claims that are not substantiated, as there is no way to determine the likelihood of them being true.

So if someone comes along and claims they have invented cold fusion, I want to see substantiation.

If someone comes along and claims they have title to the Brooklyn Bridge and will sell it cheap, I want to see substantiation.

And if someone comes along and claims to know an invisible, all powerful, all knowing being who demands my fealty and worship on pain of eternal perdition, I want to see substantiation.

So you see it does not matter whether a claim is a faith claim or not. It's a claim, and I don't afford belief to other people's claims unless they can demonstrate that the claim is credible.

There aren't. That's a lie and you are now repeating it again. We've been over this many times, and this list of 30,000 denominations has never been proven. it's been debunked.

Having said that, even if they did....so what? Does that disprove that God spoke? Or does it instead show us that people are unwilling to listen to what God has said?

Assertions are opinions, and like buttholes, everyone has one. Assertions that aren't substantiated are just that: assertions.
