WHAT PHILOSOPHIES Did You Give Up To Be Saved?

None. But I have grown in wisdom and stature.

So, I may walk in a manner that is worthy.

Proverbs 3:3-4
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then, you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

My terms, and God is fine with it. We are old friends. God finds me refreshing. God gets tired of your fawning and fear and judgement of others.. God loves a good debate.

God and I are very old friends. Those are the terms. I do not bow. I do not fear God. Why would I fear an old friend?

You obviously have a different relationship.

...probably because we have different gods.

What's the point of having a god if he doesn't do anything? Or demand anything? Honestly, this sounds more like what bluecheese talks about as far as it being an imaginary friend.

Fundamentalists believe there are multiple gods? How many are there? Six? Several hundred? Do you fundamentalists have your very own god? Does he know?

Perhaps we do. God is not imaginary. Our friendship is very real. I am skeptical of your demanding, needy God. Quite honestly you have a very unpleasant relationship.

God is fine with us being friends. I cannot imagine more that that. It is enough for both of us. Do anything? What should I expect God to do? I make no demands. God makes no demands. We have a mutual admiration and love.

You have limited understanding of my relationship. Perhaps you are incapable of such a relationship. Lucky for you, you do not matter.

What a silly question. It is like asking what's the point of having a loving Father??? It isn't as if we have a choice in having a Father. Currently for a Christian, we have two descriptions of our Father.

1. the primitive, savage and barbaric descriptions of a wrathful, vengeful Father who needs blood sacrifices of innocents to appease Him.
2. The Father revealed and demonstrated unambiguously by Jesus who IS agape love and is not counting our sins against us.

The majority apostate Christian churches have retained the primitive beliefs about God from the OT and rejected Christ's revelations. That is why they are the apostate anti-Christ majority prophesied for these "latter days."

Clearly they do, Dew. But there is only ONE and that is the one unambiguously revealed and demonstrated by Christ . . . at least it should be for a Christian.

There's one true God... many false/fake gods. Plenty of people in the Bible created their own version of God.
