That my words only make sense to me does not in any way render them invalid. Surely, you are not after popular opinion, generally lies, but the Truth of God alone, right? undecided

So Again... 1. Please the statement that His laws and commands are for your benefit.
2. Lying to help because he is experiencing what he is facing problems only worsens his situation, don't you see? It was the lies of men that brought him to this. How does continuing to lie to him help what you call "his faith"? His faith in what exactly - lies? undecided


For one thing, none of us are immune to problems. Whether you're religious or not, you will face problems
Another thing, God is not to blame for what evil we face. From what he wrote, it is from wicked neighbours. These things shook his beliefs in God and he is telling us. Which faithful servant of God in Bible times lived a life of roses? Mention only one. It is the stupid pastors of today in their greed and lies that tell you that Christian won't encounter problem. When we face trials, we draw close to him as the God and father of all comfort who comforts us in our trials so that with the trials we get from God, we too can comfort others (2Cor 1:3,4). Instead of him drawing closer to tap from that comfort to gain relief and joy and endurance, he thinks the best is to run away from God and be happy

1. Jesus Christ definitely stated that there would be suffering and tribulation for those who belong to Him but He assured them that even through it all, He would provide for their needs and take care of them, so they would not need to worry as they went through those times. OP is here telling you that he is not experiencing that which Jesus Christ promised to His followers --- that provision of all of one's needs, along with the peace that is of Jesus Christ --- so surely you can see how you attempting to sweep his concerns under the rug is not of help to him in any way or form. undecided

2. Again, Jesus Christ made clear that He had overcome the world for the sake of HIs followers instructing them there was no need for them to fear suffering and tribulation. He assured them His peace for when they would experience such things so they have no reason to engage in meaningless battles/fights as a result. So, again, as OP made clear, he is not experiencing this peace that Jesus Christ guaranteed His followers, and as such he has need to be concerned as that is indicative of the fact that he, OP, does not belong to God. It is really that simple when it comes to God. undecided

3. This isn't a problem of some stupid pastors but a problem that stems fro the very foundation of that which OP adheres to... religion... in place of God's Word -- His teachings and commandments. undecided

So, if what OP has been filled with is not of God --- has absolutely nothing to do with God, why should he continue in it? undecided

It also says that in your suffering, your needs will be catered to and you will have peace. So what you describe of your experience is nothing like what is written in scripture, it is no different from that experienced by the world in terms of suffering. undecided

Religion has nothing to do with God. What you are experiencing is completely different from what Jesus Christ taught that His followers will experience. undecided
25 So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it.
26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are?
27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves.
29 But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
30 If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!
31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’
32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.
33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.
34 So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries. - Matthew 6 vs 25 - 34
So clearly, what you and your old man are experiencing has nothing to do with God and His plan for His followers. I know we don't like to think these things are really this simple but it is after all the Truth of God, and so logically if what you experience is nothing like what is expected, it cannot be confused in anyway with the expected. undecided

stop defending him let Him do that himself
God is a King. He does not give account of His matters. Striving against Him is a waste of time (Job 33:13)
Your job is to learn His modus operandi and fall in line. You and your father respectfully have been playing religion.
What you should do is to learn the ways of God and the laws that govern the cosmos and begin to apply them.

Throwing tantrums about the existence of God will not change anything. You are not the first and won't be the last. Many people have threatened God that they will commit suicide if He did not act on their matter. He didn't. They committed suicide and God still remained God.

If traditionalists are dealing with you and your father, it points to a lack of understanding of spiritual warfare and priesthood.

Activate your priesthood and watch those people scamper like rats. It's knowledge.

Through knowledge will the just be delivered (Proverbs 11:9)

You and your dad can gain spiritual intelligence and begin your journey to the victory that Christ already won on the cross by listening to the following messages by Apostle Joshua Selman.

Priesthood
The mystery of divine intervention
Complete deliverance (1-3)
Spiritual Intelligence (1-3)

Just get hold of urself.. There is no guarantee of success when u leave religion either. Life is generally hard and there is no sky daddy out there to help.
U will just have to role ur own wheel to u either makenit or tire out.
Successful people are strategic, dogmatic and deliberate. Plan, have a direction and work towards it. Do not be discouraged by dissapointments, learn a skill and constantly think of improving urself. Ensure u are better today than yesterday, even knowledge wise.
As for God, forget about it. Its just a complete waste of time.

I'm really sorry for all you're facing
Who's immune to the anxieties of life today?
Whether you're a Christian or atheist or Muslim, we will all face problems so how does leaving God end it?
Atheism is not and never will be the answer
Pray to God, tell him about your feelings and beg him sincerely to help me clear your doubts

One fact most people do miss is that we are all born atheists at birth that's why God ordered His people (Israelites) to study really hard that they may know His ways and afterwards inculcate in our children the same thing we know so as to make it easier for them! Deuteronomy 6:4-7

Satan established countless religions globally to counter pure worship so while the Israelites are teaching their children God's standard the surrounding nations are filled with practices of satanism hence many Israelites were lured into false religious ideas.

So if anyone say he or she is turning to atheism such a person is simply returning to his root: when he hasn't been taught anything about the existence of God.

But then the atheists will now fill his or her heart with junks all in the name of knowledge that's of no practical benefits whereas knowledge supposed to help the human society enjoy peaceful coexistence and that's what atheism can never produce because they will still fall (die) for the wisdom they ignore when God said the tree of knowledge of good and evil will lead to death {Genesis 2:17} to atheists this book makes no practical sense yet the tree of knowledge of good and evil (POLITICS) will always catch up with their intelligence making them slaughter one another purposely! Revelations 6:3-4 smiley

There numerous Gods as there as numerous mankind archetypes. And the gods are too busy to care if you eat, bath or fucckk. It is black magic to worship anything even the Gods.

Material life is our business and without working hard the Gods despise laziness and don't care if you have no survival skills. Man must work for food and then blessings follow.

Do not listen to that fool, that’s how they keep lying that a better day will come. It’s sad to hear about your dad, he probably has a health condition that’s why he always sick, plus the stress of being broke.

The best thing you can do for yourself now is to forget religion and the current situation at hand, and ask yourself what you really want for yourself, do you want to keep hoping on god like your father you learn a trade, a skill or even further your education(if you can). The only problem here is really cause you guys are broke, don’t let anyone deceive that God will come and solve your problems, be humble and good people will favor you.

God is their alter ego. Its what they wish to be but their mind project it to an external none existent being. Its a human thing.
Wonder why they get angry when u dont believe? Its actually an anger for not believing in them and their wish.
Its all about them but the idea of God makes it easy for them not to see it like that. Thats why they pray and decide the answer. They sing holy song and enjoy it, they listen and hear themselves (their heart). .. Everything they believe ends up with them.
If singing praise worship makes u dance, how then do u feel its God dancing if u are not the God u believe in?

I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I advocate that Op completely abandon religion, not by mouth alone, but empty himself of every religious lie he has ever been fed about the entity referred to as God from both his parents and every other individual- mog or pastor out there. It is so he can move forward with a clean slate, and not end up one of the many bitter individuals out there flying the "I am an atheist" flag. undecided

OP, should you decide much later to seek God, do not seek Him through the mouths of men by directly next time. Then when He responds, you will be certain you are connected to Him and not to religion of men. undecided
