Searching for GOD...

[Alan Burns]

AB,
 

It’s a rigged game though isn’t it. First the rules prohibit same sex marriage, and then they say sex outside of marriage is sinful. What then are gay people supposed to do, and what the hell business is it of your religion to pronounce on that issue in any case?

It would appear that you, and many others, give a very high priority to sexual gratification in our human lives.
But along with other worldly aims such as money, possessions, fame, power ... these fail to satisfy our need for happy, fulfilled lives.
So what does make us happy and fulfilled?  in a word - love.
One of the common themes in the many testimonies I have heard from people encountering Jesus for the first time in their lives is the overwhelming feeling of being loved.  It is a love which is unlike anything they have experienced before - it is unconditional and eternal.  We are all tempted away from God's love by succumbing to the false promises of worldly aims, but as the psalmist said, "In God alone is my soul at rest" (Psalm 62).

Here is just one of many testimonies of an encounter with God's love through Jesus Christ.

AB,

I have no idea why you think that. The sexual drive in most species is clearly important though.

But along with other worldly aims such as money, possessions, fame, power ... these fail to satisfy our need for happy, fulfilled lives.

For some maybe, for other not.

So what does make us happy and fulfilled?  in a word - love.

Many people who aren’t loved or in love lead happy and fulfilled lives.

One of the common themes in the many testimonies I have heard from people encountering Jesus for the first time in their lives is the overwhelming feeling of being loved.  It is a love which is unlike anything they have experienced before - it is unconditional and eternal.  We are all tempted away from God's love by succumbing to the false promises of worldly aims, but as the psalmist said, "In God alone is my soul at rest" (Psalm 62).

A ”testimonial” is just an explanation that seems sensible to the person expressing it. Many have expressed testimonials just as sincerely about their supposed encounters with Allah, Zeus and Āhuiatēteoh too. You’ve provided no reasoning though to demonstrate that anyone has any more actually encountered Jesus than they have encountered these (or any other supposed) gods.
