Alright alright. That must have taken you awhile to write up and I really appreciate that response for now I know where you are coming from. I will also say I agree with you. Not on the sacrifice aspect of course but about forgiveness of the sins. But the thing is, we are never going to be blameless and that is a part of life. To live and to learn. Many people are genuine when they mean they are sorry. I am for starters. I still believe you have to acknowledge the father in order to enter Heaven. Do good works all you want to, I'll be happy you do. But I will not believe you can go to Heaven without acknowledging God. Everyone will bow. I have more of a relationship than a religion. I don't hijack religion like some do. I just go to Church, learn about how I can honor God in my life, and tithe. I take the scriptures seriously but they help me advance my spirit. There is more going on then you and I both will ever understand. Nice talking with you and if I seemed a bit rash in my previous posts, I am sorry. I'll add you as a friend. Have a great day and take care!!!

Well, as much as it is a bit difficult to move out of what I think about God, I will take into consideration what you are saying and pray heavily on it. I'm only 19 and I'm still learning but I just want to please the father. Do what He says. I'm still in effort of reading the Bible but I can honestly say, what I have uncovered thus far, on my own, has helped me considerably. What you are saying is a bit more out there than what I am used to. Not because others taught me, but because I'm weary of false info. I want to develop my own way. Not from anyone else. No offense. I understand where you are coming from and I am happy we had this conversation. Again, maybe God will have the grace to give me a vision one day. Until then, I will do my best to be genuine in forgiveness and learn about Him. I'm still on turn-tables about people not knowing the father and going to Heaven. I don't think you will ever convince me of that, sorry. But you have taught me a bit and for that I thank you. Have a great day and looking forward to conversing with you again. God Bless!!!
Proverbs 8
1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
