[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand what OP is going through.

You need to develop a relationship with Jesus.

A relationship requires getting to know someone, and talking to them.  So you would read the Bible, and pray for guidance.

It's a journey for all of us, OP.[/quote]

I agree with your point that "A relationship requires getting to know someone, and talking to them."  How exactly do you plan on having a conversation with a guy who's been dead for over 2,000 years?  How are able to distinguish between what you think Jesus is telling you versus your own thoughts?  I have never heard a good answer to this.[/quote]
Jesus hasn't been dead for more than 2,000 years. He rose from the grave three days after His resurrection. He is a living God. That's how you are able to have a relationship with him, through prayer, Bible reading, the Holy Spirit.[/quote]

Jesus was born in the year 0 AD, if I understand correctly.  It's now 2016.  That's over a 2,000 years difference.  By "living" I meant "alive" or, more specifically "on this Earth in physical form".  If you have to twist the definition of words to prove your point then perhaps your point needs to be reassessed.  Last time I checked, there are exactly zero middle eastern rabbis walking around who are 2,000 years old.  That's what Jesus was.  You also have not sufficient explained how to tell the difference between your own thoughts and God speaking to you.[/quote]
You wrote, "By living I meant..." and then accused me of twisting the definitions of words, after defining the word the way you want. Christ rose from the dead, then ascended back to Heaven, where He came from. He is very much alive. The fact that He is not walking around on Earth at the moment is irrelevant. He will return some day to redeem those who believe in Him and judge those who don't. You will see then that He is very much alive.[b] Put your trust in Him and ask for Him to forgive your sins so that you will be in the first camp and not the second[/b].[/quote]

It's very hot in that second camp, if you don't beieve in Christ --  or even if you do believe in Christ but mess up by not following his commandments, you will still end up in the second, very hot, camp.  If you don't believe in Christ, then you take your chances.  If there is a second camp, you'll end up in it, but if there really isn't a Christ who died for you (all of us, really) and demands that we believe in him and follow his commandments, then you just die - no camps at all.
