As a professed Christian,

Why do you do things that you don’t want to do?

As a professed non believer in Christ,

Why do you do things that you don’t want to do?

Or maybe you never do things that you don’t want to do?

Christian church membership question:

My local church has a list of 7 basic qualifications for membership in the institution.

I have attended this church and have been a member for 3 decades.

These 7 qualifications are reasonably new and definitely weren’t in place when I became a member. I meet 2 of the 7 qualifications yet I am still a member of this church. No one in leadership seems concerned.

I notice that in the Calvery Chapel Churches there seem to be 2 requirements for membership.

Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities

In AA there is only one requirement for membership.

IMO As a whole, I view AA as the most spiritually mature institution that I am a member of.

Only God truly knows. Knowing God as I know God, I wouldn’t put it past Him to make a way when there is no way.

God so loves the world!!!!

You know this. Your religious texts tell of this great love.

Does this love abide in your heart?

Ye olde make it up as you go doctrine.

Ye olde make it up as you go doctrine.

If you actually know and worship God and not religion and doctrine then you know it’s true.

You've never answered my questions. If nothing happens unless God wants it to then does God want war, disease, crime? If he speaks directly to you then why doesn't he speak to large groups?
