      I can understand your hurt at hearing this. As dear as the memory of your mother is to you, and I am certain that it is very dear, there is only one person who knows where your mother is and that is Jesus. I am certain that you looked up to your mother, but as the Bible says, no person is without sin. And goodness knows that people can hide their transgressions for years: just look at the liberal politicians who are constantly busted for soliciting sex in bathrooms .

      We are here to help you, friend. It is our mission to share the Word of God with every person. Not just those who want to hear the Word, or those whom we like. Everyone. The Bible is not a book of fairy tales, friend. It is so much more than that. For every feel-good story, there are ten stories of rage & vengeance. Our God is a Jealous God. He is a God who demands blood for our transgressions. Fortunately He was kind enough to send His only Son to die for us. Now as a human, that may seem cruel & unusual. But in Heavenly terms, that is the kindest act you can imagine.

      So we are here to show you that Heavenly love. It isn't necessarily easy, it isn't necessarily "fun". But it is what God requires of us if we are to get to Heaven. Remember, this isn't just about you: it is about us as well. Jesus wants us to spread the Word, and you are destined to hear it. That is why He brought you here.

      Anyways, welcome! Please relax, and you'll find that this whole process goes much smoother.
      Yes, your godGod is ana gigantic (rude word Removed - Admin). You've given no reason why you blindly follow an evil god.

        Here are six:

        1. He created the universe.
        2. All the universe belongs to Him.
        3. He clearly told us to obey Him.

        See, that's enough for me. But here are three more:

        4. Those who obey Him, as instructed, will spend eternity praising Him for His Perfection and serving Him in Heaven.
        5. Those who refuse His Love will spend eternity being burned alive in His Lake of Fire.
        6. The "changing gods" you imply is just refusing God's Love, since there are no "other gods", leading to the same end result as Reason #5.

        Why is it you don't drive 90 MPH down a residential street, mowing down small children and old ladies? I would wager that Reason #5 is similar to your reasoning. You know the laws, and you know the consequences of breaking the laws. You do not wish to experience those consequences, so you do not break the laws.

          -A bit confused- Um... my mother is still alive and well, I am willing with her until I find a righteous husband and a good man. It's my father that has passed on, a man both my mother and myself respect and love. Actually I have strangely soon those on this site that try to say they are without sin, which while I did not speak on it I knew was silly. We all sin, which is why Jesus Christ atonement is so important and needful. Without spending our days reading the scriptures, in prayer, and in repentance we will not find ourselves in the Father's arms when we die. I understand and appreciate that you share the Word of God, but speaking vile and evil words is not God's way. The Bible is a book of true, and through it we can come to understand God as he truly is. Actually in many ways the Old Testament is a book of Judgment and Law, while the New Testament is a book of Love and Sacrifice... which is a wonderful thing.
          I know it isn't always fun or easy but it is worth it. The path God has made for us is one marked with many trials and hardships yet it is and always will be worth it. We are told that we must show God that as his disciples we are worthy of his presence, for us to prove we should go to heaven. We are not to hide our light under a bushel but on a candlestick to that our light may shine before men (scriptural but not word for word). One that is why I am here yes but I will not stand those who speak with a vile tongue.

          I need to find the one God wishes for me to be with first and I am starting to feel I will not find such here. Except perhaps Dr. Ernest C. Ville, as he has show good will and character it seems.

          Also what is aplomb? I do not believe that is a word, perhaps a mispelling?

              1. He created the universe.
              Why assume God created the universe? Why not, you know, believe the Bib Bang theory? Not like there there is a substantial amount of evidence supporting the scientific theories... Oh, wait, there is.

              2. All the universe belongs to Him.
              This presupposes God exists, and you have provided no evidence for that.

              3. He clearly told us to obey Him.
              Contradicts free will.

              Why is it you don't drive 90 MPH down a residential street, mowing down small children and old ladies? I would wager that Reason #5 is similar to your reasoning.

              Because of morality and empathy, actually.

                            Friend, why are you having trouble understanding that women are the propert of men according to what the Word of God says?

                            As a matter of fact, none of the disciples were women, and a woman witnessing to the ressurection is circumstantial and has nothing to do with, nor does it change the fact that women as ownership.

                            Women are seen as property by the Lord and are worth less than men(in money) according to the scripture.

                            To deny this is to call the Lord a liar, friend. Stop twisting the scripture to what you want it to say.

                            Remember friend, we keep the WHOLE Bible in context; we refuse to cherry-pick the scriptures.

                                I don't know about any Bib Bang theory. Sounds like Muslims at Red Lobster.

                                Contradicts free will.
                                Does there being a law saying you can't drive 90 MPH down a residential street contradict your free will?

                                Of course not.

                                You can obey or disobey God. There are consequences for disobedience.

                                You can drive the speed limit or exceed it. There are consequences for speeding.

                                Either way, it's up to you to decide.
                                Bible boring? Nonsense!

                                You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!
