Yes Nicole, matter of fact God does know just excatly who will accept Him and who will reject Him. The bible says that the names of the ones who would accept Him were written in the Lamb's book of Life from the foundation of the world. So yeah He knows who the faithful are and what their mothers would name them. He knew it even before they were born.
How could one not believe in God and the bible when everything in the bible that was pridicted, we see coming to pass. Just look at the signs and the times we are living in. Even a blind person can see it.
The bible even tells us that the earth was round before man discovered that it was. Just read for yourself because igornance will be no excuse come judgement day.
Remember, to whom much is given shall much be required. You have the map... read it! GCJ

Read about the people God punished in the OT, it was awful what they did.

You're right; the infants and children of the Hittites were terrible, terrible people and had to be destroyed. Deuteronomy 20:16-17.

All of God's Word is good, just need to see it in a different way.

Again I point to my favorite Bible passage, Deuteronomy 20:16-17, and ask what the "good" part of that is.

How could one not believe in God and the bible when everything in the bible that was pridicted, we see coming to pass.

The Bible tells us that the Earth was created in six days and that the value of the mathematical constant pi is 3 (I Kings 7:23). Hopefully, you'll pardon my skepticism.

I guess people like Muggaz are much much easier for me to deal with than the people who claim to be Christians but don't even know what the word means. So Muggaz, thanx for being honest. And we all love still, which is why we leave so many comments trying to persuade! hehe

There is no question God exists: in concept - we made Him.

I'm going to take this opportunity to plug my blog about "what God has done for me"... Rather than talk (type) until i'm blue in the face (fingers?), trying to convince people that God exists by arguing all these minute details with them, i chose to write a testimony about what God has done in my life. He's out there for all of us if we'll just look for him.

Faith, Hope, and Love will get us further in this world than the things that we tend to put effort into. The greatest is "Love", but my personal favorite is Faith. For those of you that have it, you know how powerful it can be... for those of you that don't, i sure hate it for ya...

"Big Dreamer-- I isn't that kinda harsh? God is a jealous God, jealous not in the human sense but meaning, He will not compete for the first place in our hearts and our lives. I don't understand all the books of the law, of the wisdom books or the books of the prophets yet (and never will as much as I'd like to) but I know that if I could see the Old Testament through God's eyes, then I would understand why things were as they were."

He's a very jealous God, but also a God of wrath. Think about Uzzah ( 2 Samuel 6:3 ). God killed Him, in essence brought His wrath upon Him, because he touched the Ard, God's glory.

''The bible even tells us that the earth was round before man discovered that it was."

I'm not saying it's not there, but whenever you talk about scripture saying this or that would you, along with everyone else, mind putting the reference, please?

"I don't know any more about God than anyone else. I don't think ANYONE knows more about God. I mean, we get what we do out of the Bible, and none of us really know if that's true or not... I'm not saying it isn't, and I'm not saying it is... I'm just saying we don't know."

I may not KNOW anymore about God than a non Christian, but I think I know HIM better than a non Christian, because I have a relationship with Him. One thing I'm discovering lots lately is that there is a huge difference between knowing about God and actually, truly knowing Him and having a personal relationship with Him, ya know? I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying about how you don't think ANYONE knows more about God? Do you mean you don't think anyone knows more about God than the next person? Because if you are, I'm not sure how you can say that. I would venture to guess I know more about alpacas than you, and I would venture to guess you know more about other subjects than I do. I think a pastor might know a bit more about God than a person who's never heard of Him. btw, tangledwishes, after reading your "blogs" I've found I love your writing and your style of writing. :o)
