3 QUESTIONS, TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?
IF YOU ANSWERED YES, DO YOU BELIEVE HE IS ALL MIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL AND ALL KNOWING?
IF AGAIN YOU ANSWERED YES, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE DIVINE INSPIRED WRITTEN WORD OF GOD?

IF YOU CAN ANSWER YES TO ALL 3 OF THESE, THEN THE SCRIPTURES WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU IN LEARNING ABOUT JESUS, AND GODS PLANS FOR THE WORLD AND FOR YOU. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THE BIBLE THEN THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SHOW YOU. NOTHING I CAN SAY. NO SCRIPTURE NOT EVEN THE WORDS OF JESUS WILL HAVE ANY MEANING, IMPACT OR CARRY ANY WEIGHT WITH YOU UNTIL YOU DECIDE WHERE YOU STAND ON THESE 3 QUESTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN GOD SAID THAT HE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH...
FIRST YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD
SECOND YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE HE IS ALL POWERFUL AND CAPABLE OF SUCH A THING AS CREATING MAN AND THE UNIVERSE
THIRD YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH A GOD AND CREATOR WOULD LEAVE US WITH A BOOK (THE BIBLE) THAT WOULD GIVE HIMSELF THE CREDIT FOR DOING SO.

THINK ABOUT IT....WHY WOULD GOD ALLOW A BOOK TO SURVIVE THAT GOES AROUND CLAMING THINGS IN HIS NAME IF IT WERE NOT THE TRUTH? THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION, AS THE WORLD WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE .
JESUS CAME NOT TO BRING US RELIGION, BUT HE CAME FOR ALL MANKIND TO RESTORE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN.

ITS MAN THAT HAS BRANCHED OFF AND CREATED VARIOUS RELIGIONS
SAYING WELL WE BELIEVE THIS PART BUT NOT THAT PART, AND WHA-LA A NEW RELIGION IS BORN. THEN SOME OTHER GROUP SAYS WELL, WE ONLY BELIEVE THIS BUT NOT THAT, AND ANOTHER SAYS WELL WE DONT BELIEVE ANY OF IT.

RELIGION, RELIGION, RELIGION... NOW WHAT, WHO DO YOU LISTEN TO? WELL IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO THOSE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS, THE ANSWER IS CLEAR, YOU LISTEN TO GOD. THE WORD OF GOD. IF WHAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD SOMEWHERE DOES NOT LINE UP WITH SCRIPTURE ITS NOT RIGHT.

SOME SAY WELL I DONT BELIEVE THAT THE MEN WHO PENNED THE BIBLE GOT IT ALL DOWN RIGHT. WHAT IF THEY MADE ERRORS? THERE AGAIN BACK TO, DO YOU BELIEVE GOD IS ALL KNOWING AND ALL POWERFUL, IF YES, THEN WHY IS IT SUCH A STRETCH TO THINK THAT GOD MADE SURE THEY DIDNT MAKE ANY MISTAKES, REMEMBERED EVERY DETAIL, AND PUT EVERY THING DOWN JUST AS HE WANTED IT.

IF NOT, HES NOT MUCH OF A GOD, WHAT THEN IS HE THE GOD OF......BUBBLE GUM ? NO. YOU SEE YOU CANT BELIEVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER, THAT HE CREATED THE UNIVERSE BUT DIDN'T LEAVE US WITH ANY KIND OF INSTRUCTIONS OR THAT HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BIBLE BUT NOT THE UNIVERSE. HES JUST TAKING CREDIT FOR SOMETHING HE SAT BY AND WATCHED SAYING "OH HOW NEAT I WISH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT" "LET ME JUST SLIDE ON OVER HERE OUT OF THE WAY " IM BEING A BIT SARCASTIC BUT IT MAKES THE POINT.

SO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL STATEMENT. ANSWER THE THREE QUESTIONS AND FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND. SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH YOU TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT. NOT MINE, OR ANYONE ELSES. YOU TAKE GODS WORD FOR IT. BECAUSE IF WE CANT TRUST GOD TO TELL US THE TRUTH, THEN WE CERTAINLY CANT TRUST ANYONE ELSE TO.
