I didn't feel like quoting a bunch of stuff, but why don't you just say what you mean instead of posting a bunch of random questions and even more random verses that are completely off topic? It would make things so much faster and easier for everyone. The last time I checked, the topic wasn't about whether or not people have received Jesus, so if it's supposed to relate to the thread somehow, it would be great if you could, in your own words, explain how it relates.

Does Jesus like babies? :angel:
Does Jesus like the members of the Westboro Baptist Church? My point is, just because Jesus likes someone/something, that doesn't mean that all Christians have to like that person/thing as well.

Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me."

We either receive Him as our source, or we walk about in our own resources. Our own way, our own truth and our own life.

We do not, as we are not abiding in Christ.

But He does in and through us as we yeild to Him for His Holy Life.

Thank you for explaining. But how does that relate to this thread?

So you think that all Christians should act exactly like Christ at all times? Is that what you're saying? If so, then how is that even possible?

Being a Christian does not mean having babies.

In fact I am pretty certain God is calling me not to have them. I asked him recently if he wanted me to have them to put the desire in my heart but all I feel is the decision was made a long time ago.

We cannot love babies way God Loves them.

They are in fact too much for us, yes?

But Jesus can, and does, as we humbly come to Him with our petition..

In and through us as we yeild to Him for His Loving Life.

"I have no love Jesus, come and be my Love!"

They're too much for me, atleast. But I love other people just fine without Jesus.

No, nor can you 'be like Christ'.

There's only One God, and He will not give His Glory to another, and that includes you.

You either receive the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, or you go about to create your own.

Ephesians 4:5-6
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Okay, I'm sorry, but I'm completely confused. Could you possibly re-state that in plain, everyday English?

So...where did this come from?

I agree with the bot theory. I say let's ignore the bot until it proves that it isn't a bot.

This is a Christian forum, go to your 'humanist' forums if you chose not to hear. :p
Zeena, I'm a Christian and even I don't understand what you're saying a lot of the time. That should tell you something.
