[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:31, I understand that this is the teaching but it does not make sense to me.  It's too arbitrary and not focused on the things that a god should care about.  If he has infinite love and mercy, he will want his teachings to guild me on earth but he won't reject me where I fail.  There's no necessary element that requires me to believe for that to be the case. [/quote]
Actually, God does guide us here on earth if we believe in Him, but how can He do that if we reject Him? The Bible says that the things of God are spiritually discerned, and how can we know the mind of God if we don't believe in Him. When you trust in Christ, you are guided by the Holy Spirit to be more and more guided in the things of God. I know this to be true because this is exactly what happened to me. I cannot prove this to you scientifically. And it's not really arbitrary at all. It's very clear: Believe God and trust Jesus Christ to forgive you, and He will. It's very simple. I wish you could see that "earning" your way to Heaven is the arbitrary way. How many good things would you have to do? What good things would those be? How many bad things can you do before you're out of luck? None of that has any solidity to it. But build your life on Christ, and God will help you do the good things you want to do, and He will forgive you your failings. It's really so easy, but so many people miss it because they want to do it all on their own.[/quote]
