"Unless you pick up your cross and follow, you cannot be my disciple." Luke 14;25ffI am afraid God does not have a cost. He gives freely to those He chooses.
What you call"religion" is not always right.
Yes, I didn't think you did.You disagree, too, with what you said? I don't get it...
I make no claims.Why make it about me and what I call religion?
What others claim is more than enough.
As for "not always", that is a marvy understatement.
People with religion have it figured out.
May we assume that you most humbly figure you
are one of the few with true religion and have figured
it out?
Perhaps you’d be so kind as to explain how you can both agree and disagree with something you wrote (seeing as how you have a greater intellect than I)?Yes, I didn't think you did.
I would rather leave you confused about this, which you seem to be on other things as well.Perhaps you’d be so kind as to explain how you can both agree and disagree with something you wrote (seeing as how you have a greater intellect than I)?
Why? Can anyone explain?
That which is born of the spirit, IS spirit. I am not spirit and you are not spirit. Neither of us is born of the spirit. And if you are not "born" you canot be a chil. We are not yet children of God. But that potential is there. We can hope to someday be born and join God's family.We also have to interpret what it means to be "born of God."
Because God gave humans spirits so they can become part of His family. Animals do not have spirits.Why animals don't have their own countries similar to humans?
Why humans care and animals don't? can you explain?
Never mind. I’m not here to play Romper Room mind games. You were probably the kind of kid who would tie fireworks to a cat’s tail, just to mess with it.I would rather leave you confused about this, which you seem to be on other things as well.
We are all born with God’s spirit within us. Genesis says so.That which is born of the spirit, IS spirit. I am not spirit and you are not spirit. Neither of us is born of the spirit. And if you are not "born" you canot be a chil. We are not yet children of God. But that potential is there. We can hope to someday be born and join God's family.
Yes. They do.Because God gave humans spirits so they can become part of His family. Animals do not have spirits.

But it doesn't exist so how can something non existent be of any help? Unless maybe you're referring to metaphorical truthIt can help to answer questions that don't have answers or applicable science to help answer.
Yeah that seems to be the case.They imagine something or take from someone else's imagination something that rings true based on their emotional need or their sense of how the world works or even should work.
Huh? What do you mean?Monday morning quarterbacking is known to be more accurate, but less impressive.
Why isn't the universe overpopulated with sentient beings then and why are there seemingly non sentient beings that exist?It appears to me that the entire universe is geared to eventually produce and support sentient life.
Why couldn't it be the case that their ultimate purpose is just showing off their creative power through creating the universe while not giving a crap about sentient beings?If that's so, then it would appear that sentient life is God's ultimate purpose of creation.
IDK. Why?Why believe in existence itself?
A wonderful world in your opinion, someone could argue the opposite.You just must Widen your view. The fact that God created us, gave us a wonderful world,
It looks like people teach themselves.then teaching us and guiding us to greatness proves God cares about us.
