Good thread!


My one question would be have to be about the reason behind substitutionary atonement.

How much pain did we (humans) cause that you felt it necessary to send us such a magnificent sacrifice, to hurt yourself in such a brutal manner?

Mini
Praise be to God for His unfathomable love.
I believe the source of His pain was that we were suffering.
One of my favourite songs goes like this:

"Amazing love, how can it be, that You my King would die for me?"

I could not sing it for a long time without crying. Very humbling!

There is no greater love than to give your life for a friend.
I am glad that Jesus is my Friend.

God bless you, Abi :pink: :wave:

God, do you really want women to wear headcoverings? And if so, when and what kind?
:holy:

All I know is, the best thing to be covered in, is the blood of Christ.
If you are covered in the blood, everything confessed is forgiven.
I like to think of my hair as my crowning glory.
I like the hair God gave me. So does my husband.
I respect women who dress modestly, head covering or not.
I believe God is interested in what is on our hearts, not what is on our heads.
If I grew up in a culture where a head covering was a sign of love for God,
I would like to think I would wear one to honour God, and respect my culture.
We only wear hats to protect us from the weather where I come from.

God does say, "Do not worry about what you will wear."
Did you know that worry is sin?
When I got the revelation that worry is sin it set me free from a lot of sin.
I was a real worrier about a lot of things up until then.

May God answer all your prayers and bless you with His peace. IJNA.:wave: :pink: :pink:

Where did you find the space to put space/the universe?
:clap:

Are you a budding scientist?
Mind boggling, isn't it, to think that at one point in time our world did not exist?

This is what I believe. Tell me what you think.

All time - past, present and future - comes together at one point - God.
God knows everything that ever has, ever can, and ever will, exist.
As I am writing, and you are reading this, we are sowing seeds for our future.
Our past influences our present, and the decisions we make right now, will affect our future. What we focus on sows seeds in our life. When we focus on God we sow seeds that bear good fruit in our lives.

God bless you - Abi:pink: :wave:

For some reason, I could see him answering our question WITH a question... HA!
God answers my questions all the time, in many different ways.
Have you ever tried asking Him, and waiting for a reply?
God loves us to ask Him questions. It is how we get to know Him. Abi :pink: :wave:

Somebody asked in the begining of this theard what God has done before he created men?

Angels and men are not the only things God has created. God has been there...forever. Also, heaven is not what most people think it will be like, we wont be sitting on plain green grass and look up to a nice blue sky and sing songs in our castles for eternity. God is very intelligent and very creative. God created a vase universe with many planets, galaxies, wormholes to explore. Eliajah went up in a chariot with fire(spaceship). I think most believe that God is some huge telletubby....lol.. who knows what God has done, created aliens, fought wars. I know when im in heaven, im going to ask God for a spaceship, or heavenly ship!
Ersan ask why?
Why, Because God is, and was, and is to come!

If I could ask any question. And, I'm really not trying to sound, however this may sound. lol. Something, I think some days I have answered. And other days I feel that I can't even be close. One question



If what I understand to be true,,,.. Jesus asked 3 times to let this cup pass. And GOD didn't. I just don't get how this plan had no mistakes when it involved turning your face away from your only begotten son while he was being crucified. :( God is our father and all he wants to do is love us. But, does he turn his head from us at times to? When my son goes behind the closed doors at the hospital, I never know what is going to happen. I feel that I have turned away from him in his hour of need. I can't grasp the the cross. I can't grasp pain and suffering as the only way to show love. *sigh* I'm having a bad day. ~newly.

To understand the one question I would ask God it would be necessary for you to understand my rather unusual and stressful childhood. I'm sure others have had worse, but still, my question would be: how much of my difficulty in loving myself and others is a direct result of those early troubled years, and how much am I just using that as an excuse? I know, it sounds like a psychological question, not a theological one. But since God told me the one most important thing I must do above all else is to love Him and love my neighbor as myself, and since I have always had such trouble expressing love, it is a logical question.

Why not just destroy Satan and be done with it?

What is the purpose of cockroaches, fleas and ticks?

Why are seemingly all of the bright, decent people taken from us quickly and the evil wicked ones live long 'happy' lives?

What is the purpose of cancer?
