From St Pauls letter to the Ephesians....Chapter 1...verses 5-10...NLT
5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.
This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
6 So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.
7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
8 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
9 God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan.
10 And this is the plan: ...
At the right time, he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ everything in heaven and on earth.

What a load of horse shit
If he so powerful and all knowing why doesn’t he just reveal himself to us all and let us know we’re well fucked if we don’t comply
Why does the creator of everything need to play games by hoping we’ll be interested in your whacko religion to get us in
Why doesn’t he reveal himself to the majority of the rest of the world that follow other gods and say listen here cunts
Why hasn’t he come back yet
Why why why?
You’re totally mental believing this nonsense.
I notice you never put up any of those abhorrent writings of both the books of bullshit
It’s just all glory of god, glorious grace, showering kindness and it’s his plan.
Come on Opti give us some of the abhorrent stuff your god said

Are you afraid?...from your responses It seems so,,,
,,,over the years mine and many others biggest attackers have been the ones with the most to fear,,
.Reverential fear is healthy,,,It means we know our place in the scheme of things.,,,
When you boil gold all the rubbish comes to the surface...
then you skim it off...
Whats left is pure,,
,,and I've seem many a man become boiled by God ,,, then He skims him,,,,
and is purified by the blood of Christ,

Afraid, hahaha. Of what? An imaginary hell?
The usual no answers to what is asked from Opti. Just more gobbledegook.

And there is a you tube for every search ….no matter how ridiculous.
You just have to be bored enough to hunt them down….
I prefer gardening and fishing when there’s no surf….
My fruit trees are all in flower….
And the native bees are doing their thing….
And as the world descends into chaos….
There is peace in the souls of those who love God.

Sad thing is TBB, she can repent and get to heaven anyway. Probably because God is one hell of sicko. Just read his words in his two books.

Don't bother Optimist the hate in this forum is not worth it.. Australians are just awful now.

I hear you brother. Good on you for trying though..

Proverbs 9:8-12

Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”

Matthew 13:15

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed..

Matthew 14:15

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

2 Timothy 3

But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God..

I think Australians are great, we are just flawed like everyone else.

(It is cute that you guys who believe that of the 20+ gospels that were written between about 100CE and 600CE, the few that survive and have been bastardised and translated beyond all recognition hold the secrets to solving the problem of the human condition. That that solution is at least as bad as the disease seems lost on you. and you don't even seem to get a giggle out of the fact that 'God' left his word to deteriorate on bits of goatskin in clay pots..

or that Paul had a dogbody called Timothy that was allowed to have a scribble for time to time.. haha.. 'Timothy'.. love it.. he became a Bishop you know..)

anyway, I'm sorry we disappoint you lot so much. Enjoy your day, all : )
