Butting in...

: It's strange, all those who deny Jesus, still live under there own law, there own bondage, their own religion that looks upon those who don't agree and exhalt their own distorted reality. For instance, there are those who have no beleif in God or right and wrong yet make ridiculous judgements that poison there very chance at the freedom of a loving, all accepting relationship with those around them.

I find this sort of high flying posturing really offensive. Willing am i to say i do not know everything, but i do not consider myself (and others) to live in a distorted reality. Are you equating belief in god with right and wrong?

: For instance, their is the man who lusts for power that he knows he is missing. His natural power is in God, but perverted and inverted, his heart reaches after things like money, sexual attractiveness, intelligence,and phisical strength to prove himself worthy to those he is deceived into beleiving trully validate his character i.e. bosses, mates, parents, friends etc. So he learns how to get positive reactions and makes it his moving force to follow these shallow princapals.

Gross generalisations such as the above paragraph i am afraid do not cut the mustard for me. The ways of man are a many and varied thing, not easily simplified.

: Lark, Jesus was not Catholic. He is the truth the way and the life. The healer, redeemer, the merciful, compassionate,loving allknowing Son that gave his life so that they who had enough courage to see what state they were trully in, could recive his gift of everlasting life.

Jesus wasn't even a christian, that is just a fellowship created by his follwers. The doctrines laid down by Paul et al are just their own creations (who can forget after all Paul's love of slavery?).

: If we can't stand the idea of God now, then what makes us think that he will force us to be with him always? The time is now. And this is the gospel of Jesus.

The time was 2000 years ago and it has long passed into history. If the man Jesus realised all the trouble he would cause in the world, i wonder if he would have ever given up his job as a carpenter?
