If this is an indication of how and why we really became a nation back in 1776, then I don't know what is!

The stone just knocked him out. David still had to cut off his head. He also took it back to israel with him.
God made you in his image and he gave you a soul. Your actions, your words, your thoughts glorify him because of this. He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.
Jesus tells us about this original gift, how to build it, why we should grow it, what it means to master it, and to use it to recreate the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This is what he wants for you. To be in his absolute image. This is how we are judged.
Anyways.. the point of the story isn't that David is super awesome and courageous, it's that Saul was a giant pussy and shouldn't have been king.
“ He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.”
To speak this about God the Father…may be the most ignorant thing I’ve heard in a long while. God knows exactly to the what and where. And does have a plan for every single one of us. To not understand this about God amazes me. Get informed friend. Those kinds of statements are ridiculous.
Yes.. and he also says you shall be "delivered from evil."
He did. Then we ate from the tree of knowledge. Then we were expelled from the garden. Since that day, we have been on our own.
I get that you have a differing opinion, but you've offered nothing other than the difference. What, in the scripture, makes you think I'm wrong? Why is this even amazing to you? Have you ever read the parable of the lost sheep?
I think they're completely justified. I've read the words of Jesus many times. Your life is given to you, you will be judged on what you do with it, you are in God's image. You are expected to find your own way. The parable of the three talents makes this perfectly clear. The parable of the master and the vineyard make this perfectly clear.. at least, to me.
God is not looking for obedient slaves. He already had the Angels. He made You for a different purpose.
It can all be summed up with your original statement I quoted. You say God has no plan for us. Then why were you created? Answer that. If God has zero to do with us, then trying to explaining (“ He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.”) is gonna give you a migraine.
You think God didn’t know what was gonna happen in the garden of Eden? You don’t think he knew what and how anything and everything was gonna happen? God is all knowing. All powerful. He knows your every thought and what you are really made of. He created you. The life in your lungs came from His very own. Infinite wisdom. Sorry fren you have severely underestimated God’s ability. Jesus himself even said only God knows when this ends.
Matthew 24:36, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”- Jesus
Knows all. Is all.
My parents loved each other and created life. The Lord gave them this power, and with their souls united together in front of Christ, they chose to fulfill his commandments. This pleases God when this happens.
That is not what I said. You will certainly be judged by Him after this life ends. You have quite a bit to do with Him. You have quite a bit to show for yourself and your life when you arrive.
Do you think he fully guides your path all the way there? If so, why would he then need to judge you? Why would hell ever need to exist?
Not particularly. To accept your view, you would also have to believe that God creates and is responsible for all the evil in the world. Do you really think God conspires in the murder, rape and torture of humans for the purposes of meddling with their souls? If so, again, what does He judge you for, then? Why did he send is only son to forgive us our sins?
Yes, but you assume he uses that power the way you might. God can choose whether or not to use that power. When we were cast out, God intentionally put us in a place where He would not use His power, a place of evil, a place outside of His kingdom and glory, because he willed it so. He cursed us to know pain. He cursed us to know death.
God has the power, even then, to give us free will. To make us in His own image. What do you think that means? That you simply have two legs and arms and eyes?
I'm sorry.. but I think you are trying to build a particular view of God that would alleviate you of all the responsibility he has placed on you. Your soul was given to you, to carry into this evil place, to shine your light onto other souls and to lift them up, to work together and work the never ending missing to recreate his Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
It's a heavy burden that He places on us. He expects us to carry it. The greatest gift you can bring God is another soul that has been enlightened with the truth and who has accepted Christ into their being. That's a power you have. God will not guide you to do this or whisper in your ear when the time is right.. you have all the power to do this on your own. How are you not absolutely excited about that?
Precisely. He's talking about his return. And on that day, the people will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. His Kingdom is separate from Earth, until that time.
