Dear Heneini, No one rejects God.. even if one appears to.. the very words you quote even say that. Notice that even in the apparent rejecting are the words from Samuel "who himself saves you from all your disasters and distress". If God is the creator, he in his infinate wisdom, would know that his created would not always be able to do everything perfectly, much like our own children who we love, cherish and guide. Love for his creation is unconditional. Perfect in his understanding. Everything comes full circle in perfect timing, don't you think. No worries.

Relax into the beauty of love Heneini

Why do you reject God? It is only fair that you answer first, if you expect everyone else to do the same.

Thank you beautiful friend!

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander,

along with every form of malice.

Be kind and compassionate to one another,

forgiving each other,

just as in Christ God forgave you

Ephesians 4:31-32

Right on!!! I am in total agreement with what you and Patee have said here. And where two or more are gathered...

To ray's1love:

No one is required to answer this question and I don't expect everyone to do so. My only expectation is that others will hear the Word that was ministered in this post, receive it and be saved, IF THEY CHOOSE TO.

Love,

heneini

Just because someone rejects the christian idea of God does not mean they reject God.

The relationship is personal.

Why must everyone believe as Christians believe?

Christians have done some horrible things to the people of this world.

Taking their children, their culture, their land, kill them because of the color of their skin and look at the current economy....!

There is only One True and Living God....He is the God of Heaven, He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He is the Holy One of Israel. It is your right to serve whatever god you choose.

I don't reject God. I reject the Bible as being the only description of God, but no, I do not reject the concept of a Creator.

That is your opinion......................and only an opinion. Bring him to me and let me taught to this God of yours.

The Egyptians of Africa and Asia were alive long before Christians or even Judiasm was thought of, and had their own religion, most of it is a part of the christian bible.

Spend a little less time fight for this man created God and more time love and doing go works and we will all be happier.

Amen!

The must be a factory somewhere that has a mold that produce these folks!

I grew up in a home of people who were Christian and it was just horrible, praying one minute, then criticizing or gossiping about someone the next minute, and money well money is another story in the christian religion.

People are in need of food, shelter, education and they are building 50 million dollar churches..........................Christ did not have a church and he was a Jew !

Even if I wanted to go to church again, posting like this make me rethink the whole idea.

Maybe the better question is. Why do some persist in believing others actually reject God? I have a feeling rejection is a very strong word. I can believe that there are many that don't acknowledge God in their life. I was one. But, God made Himself known to me. (In other words, only God was going to convince me of His existence in my life.) I have to say it was a very humbling experience to realize how loving and merciful God is in spite of our humanness and stubbornness. But, to think many reject God IMHO will lead one to either misjudge others or become frustrated with others for an unfound reason.

We all know that John 1:1 is describing Jesus (the Christ, the Son) and not the Bible. Methinks maryg12 didn't say she rejected the Christ. Actually, she didn't even reject the Bible (just rejected it as being the only description of God).

Dear heneini,

I gather with you together in the name of JESUS THE CHRIST I pray that ears and hearts are pricked, that seeds continue to be planted and that those seeds that are already there take root and sprout. For I know man's wisdom is foolishness to GOD but I know that what we do.

Called a plan, because it was GODS from the very start.

I fear some will not be saved because they cannot have an answer for every question that goes through their mind, yet they do not see that the master does not tell a stranger the plan of his household, only the servants.

I fear some will not be saved because they beleive this world must be pain free, disease free, disaster free, yet they cannot see that they have caused these diseases through their neglect of the earth (We are told that we will be held accountable for how we treat this planet.)

These are some of the reasons I was an atheist. I pray for all who read your post,, a special prayer let them put away their own understanding and study the bible. HERE are the answers for what you seek, do not listen to man, man wants to be GOD. The first lie the devil ever told "Did God really say do not eat of this tree of knowledge because you will be like him?".

GOD BLESS YOU

Still Have a nice eternity suzy

did you ever read "JOY" by c.s. lewis he went through what you are going through, he was an athiest, now he is know for his christian writings. just a thought. suzy
