QD- I do know He answered me, you don't know what I have experienced with the Lord and each man experiences different things. Just as i don't know what you experienced when you went through your hard times, you don't know what I experienced with Jesus. Why do you think I still stick with my faith? If I had never gotten answers or had a real unexplainable experience with God I would not be doing what I am doing. I never said God did something for me, I said He answered me and built up my faith. Also i was not singling you out or even referring to you with the post above. I believe I stated, " the reason some of you" not " QD your an unbeliever". I am happy you have what you have, i am not trying to take that away from you. The bible clearly states, " For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." 2 thessalonians 3:10 I don't believe God will do everything for you, He will open doors but never force you to walk through them. And I never said anything about you going to hell nor about you thanking God for what you have. I'm a rookie christian making rookie mistakes? Please do elaborate. Your a normal guy that has a false sense of what christians are and have dumb experiences with them and you stereotype us. You not fully knowing God and just having some belief is fine if that is all you care for. My point is that you have only the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more depth if you would care to look. I respect you QD and honestly admire your courage for the things you have faced and overcome in your life, but honestly I don't care what your opinion is of me, we both have different views apparently.
