As someone who
believes in God whole heartedly and feels he is the
way through alot of the darkness on this earth but also the
way to celebrate our greatest joys.I am happy she has found the
love of God.But I to find the choice of religion somewhat suspiscious.As others have pointed out the dicotomy makes one wonder if the fact that her boyfriend is a Catholic has alot to do with her choice.Alot of women and men for that matter find conform to what their partners religion is because it is just easier and more comfortable at home for them.Now I am not saying this is what happened
in this case.but it is somehting ti ponder.For me
loving God and your neighbor as much as yourself are the most important part of believeing
in a Supreme Being and all the rest of the Dogma just gets
in the
way and even is the cause of alot of the strife and wars

Love.

believed in hell, but
in more of an abstract
way, and it wasn't something that I was very focused on because I'm far more motivated by messages of

believe, God or no god, perhaps one thing we can all agree on is the value of
Love in our lives.
Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and
in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt
believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught
in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references
in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is
in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the
way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to go another
way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught
in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our
love for sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked
in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our
way of thinking.brentnz

in some unknown
way, out of God's
love, goodness, mercy, and grace, God would forgive their sins and give them eternal life.
@John And while you presumably can say «I
love you»
in every language and have it mean more or less the same, you DO N'T say «if you don't
believe as I do, the
loving god will subject you to eternal torment and, oh by the
way, gays are an abomination and god doesn't want them to have the same rights that you and I enjoy»
in every religion.
I want to move through my life and this world
in the
way that I
believe Jesus would do so, singing songs of
love and freedom and grace — even to the ones who are barring the door against me.
But having said all that, I still
believe in the one true «god», and that is the belief that we are all god, and the only
way to find it is to have
love in your heart, real compassion for others, without it, all is lost.
