"God's not dead"?
          How?

@Miss-Minion I agree—you cannot believe in God without having faith.

@vanityofvanities Well all i can say is that for me it's different. Our church doesn't have a worship team or a choir. Just a few ppl that lead it, without instruments. When we worship, it's supposed to come from our heart and not cause we "have" too. 
            
            Yes, faith is a virtue. But it's also something we need to BELIEVE God exists. 
            
            Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 
            Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 
            John 8:24 unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.
            
            
            If we do not have faith, we do not believe in God. If we do not believe in God, we are nothing.
            
            Hebrews 11,6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
            
            2. John 1,9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
            
            
            You choose. I won't force you to return to christ. It's everyone else's own choice. But i will tell you that you are wrong. If you do not believe me, I lost nothing. You, however, lost everything. 
            
            God bless and have a good day.

@Miss-Minion That’s clearly not true, since I DID accept it and believe it for 25 years. Still don’t “get it.”
            
            Faith is only a virtue if you’re religious; in all other fields, it’s dangerous, and people only use it when they have to. 
            
            I did believe, and I did “receive” a feeling that I thought was God’s presence. It wasn’t God, though: it was the worship team changing keys.

Hey vanityofvanities. I thought it best to continue the conversation here rather than on someone else's profile. I'll take the time to read your book when I have the time and comment. I'm curious about the things that you found troublesome about God: the things you could not understand and reconcile. I'd like to share as much as I know though i can't and doubt i'd be able to explain God to you because the bible says we cannot and my experiences have taught me that the bible is true.

@VictorInChrist Did you realise that all your doing is blaminh God for your pain, your depression, your deaths you had to go through. DID YOU EVER A stop to ask another faithful Christian thay goes through WORSE THEN YOU, coz girl form your summary campared to people at my church, somone came so close to commtiing suicide. WHY DONT you ask them how they did it. God isnt retructed to time.Abraham had to even wait., what makes you so speacil that you get 10 years less or you must have. God made people beacuse he wanted a familu, children. ..like it or not God has feelings and desures too and one of them is You! God put the tree in Eden coz he wanted there to be a choice between Good and evil.Why? Coz his God and he doesnt force you to be Good.If God didnt put the tree there,  Adam would always be good, there would be no choice to be good or not...he would have to stay perfecr and not learn obedience  I'm not depressed but happu...truly happy whuch is something you lost. Thank and God bless. Love ya :)

Why did God make us in the first place? What’s the point of existing if this life is just a blink and Heaven is the real deal? 
            
            I used to run crying to God and beg him for answers, and he didn’t give them to me. For 25 years. I’m not going to waste an entire lifetime expecting an answer that isn’t coming. 
            
            I won’t care if my child dies??? I’ll hold back because this is Wattpad and I don’t want to get banned, but seriously??? My brother died. My mom completely shut down. She was depressed for YEARS. My sister and I were traumatized. We were all Christians; the entire family was Christian. It didn’t matter. God didn’t make that hurt any less. If your child dies and you don’t care, you are a SOCIOPATH. 
            
            Also if you’re sitting around thinking, “hey, I’m anxious now, but it’ll get better when I die,” you sound depressed, and you should seriously see a therapist. 
            
            Have you considered that if this life is all you get, you’ve wasted yours on a fairytale?

Grace sounds great and all, but the fact that Christianity sounds nicer to you than other religions doesn’t make it true. 
            
            I didn’t bleed when I lost my virginity! 
            
            Why did God decide that sin could be paid for with the death of an animal and/or Jesus? He made the rules. He could’ve just forgiven us.
