So a choice is follow me or perish? That's as good as an order and not really a choice. And did we forget about the commandments?
Breh...if he has nothing to lose ny us not following him, what does he gain by us following him?
How the fukk has he provided everything we need to believe in or follow him? What proof do you have of god? My money is on all you or anyone have is faith?
We try and make god this loving, omnipresent life form, but that's not what he shows! He supports and even creates confusion. There's no way of getting around that breh! He CREATED this confusion. He could easily squash it.
With my children, I love them so much they have no doubt. If there's ever confusion in anything I say I clarify it. Am I wiser and more loving than god? It would seem.
Yes the choice is either you follow him or perish. There is no such thing as "it's not really a choice', a choice is exactly what it is, you only say it's not really a choice simply because you do not like the options before you. You only say it is not a choice because again you want to be able to do whatever you want on this earth and still make it to heaven. Your problem is neither of the options are what you particularly want and again that is because of your, and everyone else who believes the sames, arrogance. Again you arrogantly expect God to do things the way you want them to be done, for him to provide an option that gives you an put, that tailors around you and allows you to do whatever you want. God is God, everything is created by him therefore everything belongs to him, the heavens the earth were created by him, they are his to do as he pleases, your life belongs to him, without him life would not exist, you wouldn't exist. He do realise that God doesn't have to give you any choice, he could just throw everyone to perish and what could you do? He could take away our free will so we would have no choice but to follow him and what could you do? Nothing, but he doesn't do that because it isn't simply about us following him.
If I saw you at a spilt in a road, one path going left and one going right, and I said to you follow me down the left hand path and you will be ok but if you go down the right you will end up dying, do you not still have a CHOICE about what path you go down? God has simply told us following him will lead to heaven, heaven is his house and the only way to get to his house is to follow his footsteps otherwise outside his house you will perish. The choice is yours, there are only two options, there are no other options because no other options exist, there are only two paths, the path of God to the left and the path away from God to the right, and the one on the right will lead to you perishing. The choice is yours, look around people chose to perish everyday, the path to hell is a very scenic route indeed, but don't be confused about it's destination. All God has done is tell you beforehand the destination of both paths, that's not taking your choice away, that's better informing you to make the correct choice.
The commandments are different. The ten commandments were given to Moses, for the Jewish people at that particular time. They were commandments given to one specifiic man and a specific group of people at a specific time for a specific reason, but they were not for salvation, the bible itself says the law did not bring salvation, but it is not ignoring the commandments given to moses that will be the reason why people in the end perish. The commandments were for a specific purpose at a specific time separate of issues of perishing and salvation. That is another story tho,l, that I would be willing to explain, but your concept of the nature and purpose of the commandments is wrong.
God doesn't support or create this confusion, again you thinking here is incorrect. See the truth of of your are honest with your self, you don't choose not to follow God or any particular religion because you are confused, that is a lie you use and most people use to cover up the real reason. You don't follow because they tell you all the things you like doing are sins and are wrong, that is the reason why you don't follow, not because of confusion or everything else people claim. If you found a religion and a God that agreed with everything you agreed with, shared you view on things and allowed you to live your life in a way you would love you would follow that religion. That's your problem, your not confused you are looking for a religion and a God that tailors to you, again that is your arrogance and everybody else who dies the sames arrogance. Expecting Him to do things the way you want them down, wanting to find a God that does things the way you want them done. Wanting to find a religion that is compatible with the way you think and the way you want to live rather than simply wanting to find God and wanting to find the truth. That is your problem. And that is the reason for some of the confusion you talk about, humans are the cause but God. There are many different books and religions, but if there is one God that means there is only one way, one true scriptures and only one religion. The others were created by arrogant men, men not too different to yourself who wanted things to be done their way and therefore created themselves God's and scriptures and they were happy with. If there is a one God then he is only responsible for one scripture and one religion, the rest are the creative of men so the confusion that would exist because of that is not the fault of God, Niether was it cause or promoted by God, it is cause by men.
You see people make excuses for God, I say what people do on a much more regular basis is blame God for things men have done.
I have do doubt God loves me and is always clear with me. And I am not the only person who you say that. The only reason people doubt the love of God is for two reasons and two reasons only, thinking God doesn't love them because things are not happening they way they want it to happen, arrogantly believing God must do things the way they want, or the second reason being people blaming God for things that cause by men. Neither of those things are God's fault.
Are they not millions even billions of people who follow a religion and follow God. The fact that there are people who follow God is proof that he has provided everything you need to follow him, cause they are following him.
God has provided me with more than enough proof to know he is real, but that is proof to me. Proof is subjective tho remember that.
However I can promise you one thing. There is not a single human being on this planet who doesn't follow or believe in God because of a lack of proof. Not one, that is not the reason. Anyone who claims different in their case can PM me and if they are sincere and unbias I will show them why it is not the case. People do not believe in God and choose not to follow a religion, especially Christianity and Islam because they want to live their life how they want. They want the religion to tailor itself around them and they enjoy the things the religions say are sins.
