2. Peace
God gives us His peace for He is peace

hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:7

4 Contentments from God

1. Pardon
God has already pardoned our sins

Tom: Since sin is defined as an offense against God and God doesn't exist I
am free of sin.

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrightous man his thoughts; and
let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our
God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

"...because your sins are forgiven you for His names sake." I John 4:12

2. Peace
God gives us His peace for He is peace

Tom: The absence of God gave me the greatest peace. When I finally realized
that God didn't exist the peace of existence spread over me.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give I you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid." John 14:27

"And the peace of god, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:7

3. Purpose
God establishes a purpose for each of His own.

Tom: I developed my own purpose. That way I'm not doing foolish things such
as shooting abortion doctors, etc. or giving my money to him when he should
be perfectly capable of making his own money.

Our purpose in life is to worship God and to have fellowship with Him.

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship
Him." John 4:23

4. Power
God grants us His power to live for Him

Tom: Since I am free of the yoke of God and therefore don't have to carry
the two of us I don't need his power. It would have been nice if he had
carried his weight for all those years that I carried him but he never
lifted a finger.

"But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you:"
Acts 1:8

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that parish foolishness; but
unto us which are saved it is the power of God." I Cor 1:18

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth me." Phil 4:13
Can you see these contentments in your life as you walk with the Lord
Jesus Christ?

Tom: What "contentments"? The struggle to carry your "god"? Sorry YM1, the
journey is much easier without imaginary friends.

1. Pardon

Tom: Since sin is defined as an offense against God and God doesn't
exist I am free of sin.

Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Since
He does and you are even capitalizing his name showing that somewhere in
your being you know this. Therefore like the rest of us, yes, you are a
sinner.


"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrightous man his

let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to
our God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

"...because your sins are forgiven you for His names sake." I John
4:12

2. Peace

Tom: The absence of God gave me the greatest peace. When I finally
realized that God didn't exist the peace of existence spread over me.

Aparently you don't have true peace otherwise why would you be scanning
these newsgroups and trying to rebute the truth? God brings true peace.
My world can crash around me and as long as I know God is there I know that
I will rise up from the situation. I know that I will be stronger, wiser,
humbler, more loving, more giving, more caring and more prepared to work in
His kingdom.


"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give I you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid." John 14:27

"And the peace of god, which passeth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:7

3. Purpose
God establishes a purpose for each of His own.


Tom: I developed my own purpose. That way I'm not doing foolish things
such as shooting abortion doctors, etc. or giving my money to him when
he should be perfectly capable of making his own money.

A person who is truly in line with God's purpose would not shoot an
abortion doctor either. I don't recall any scriptures saying go yea and
shoot the baby killers do you???? I don't really give anything to God
either. I simply return a portion, say 10%, of what he has given me. So
technically if he were as selfish as we are we would have nothing not even
life.

Our purpose in life is to worship God and to have fellowship with
Him.

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh
such to worship Him." John 4:23

4. Power

Tom: Since I am free of the yoke of God and therefore don't have to
carry the two of us I don't need his power. It would have been nice if
he had carried his weight for all those years that I carried him but
he never lifted a finger.

God's yoke is not a limit to freedom. It is true freedom. It is self
denying love as best exampled by His Son Jesus Christ. There is but one
unpardonable sin in scripture to my knowledge. To blasphem the Holy
Spirit. I truly hope in your heart you do not feel the way you wrote. I
truly hope that God in his infinite mercy and grace will forgive your
misconceptions as He has forgiven me of my sins as well. I truly hope that
God will soften your heart so you can hear that still small voice saying
"Come to me"

"But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon
you:" Acts 1:8

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that parish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." I Cor 1:18

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth me." Phil 4:13

Tigr: Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Since

He does and you are even capitalizing his name showing that somewhere in
your being you know this. Therefore like the rest of us, yes, you are a
sinner.

Tom: Amazing, You can't tell a Christian that you don't believe. No buddy, I
don't believe and you need to believe it and I don't sin. You appear to be a
dumb SOB who has trouble just living. Why complicate your life by trying to
tell me what I believe?

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrightous man his
thoughts; and
let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to
our God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

Tom: The absence of God gave me the greatest peace. When I finally
realized that God didn't exist the peace of existence spread over me.

Tigr: Aparently you don't have true peace otherwise why would you be

scanning

these newsgroups and trying to rebute the truth?

Tom: I scan these newsgroups fighting ignorant fundamental creationism. If I
get the chance to shoot down a few fools like YM1, I take it. It is great
sport.

Tigr: God brings true peace.
My world can crash around me and as long as I know God is there I know

that

I will rise up from the situation. I know that I will be stronger, wiser,
humbler, more loving, more giving, more caring and more prepared to work

in

His kingdom.

Tom: Good for you. I can have true peace around me without all of that
garbage. You remind me of the killer of the abortion doctor who was executed
a few weeks ago. He had great peace as he was killed. The good thing about
simple Christians is that they will never know the difference. Eternal
sleep. That's all folks!

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give I you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid." John 14:27

"And the peace of god, which passeth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:7

Tigr: A person who is truly in line with God's purpose would not shoot an
abortion doctor either. I don't recall any scriptures saying go yea and
shoot the baby killers do you????

Tom: Not at all. That is why I wonder why you Christians do such things.

Tigr: I don't really give anything to God
either. I simply return a portion, say 10%, of what he has given me. So
technically if he were as selfish as we are we would have nothing not even
life.

Tom: See, I'm 10% ahead of you right off the bat. Yeah , God is really a
peach of a fellow.

Our purpose in life is to worship God and to have fellowship with
Him.

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh
such to worship Him." John 4:23

unpardonable sin in scripture to my knowledge. To blasphem the Holy
Spirit. I truly hope in your heart you do not feel the way you wrote.

Bull *****, you simpleton, I feel exactly as I wrote. Why? Do you think I'm a
hypocrite like most of you Christians? And yes, religion is a yoke around
your neck.

Tigr: I
truly hope that God in his infinite mercy and grace will forgive your
misconceptions as He has forgiven me of my sins as well. I truly hope

that

God will soften your heart so you can hear that still small voice saying
"Come to me"

Tom: Tell you what buddy, when I hear "god" speak to me out loud then I'll
believe. I feel sorry for you as you have been told by your Christian
masters that you are a "sinner" and need of "salvation" by a "savior". What
you need to do is learn a little about mythology and why Christianity is the
biggest myth of them all.
