I think the biggest disagreement I have with most of this thread is with commitment issues. Just like a guy with commitment issues with marraige. He wants all the benefits of marraige (sex and companionship) without the legalities and inconveniences and long term commitment of marraige but until you commit say I do you aren't actually married. People want the benefits of Heaven and God but they don't want to be tied down to the rules of religion(I mean the Bible, not the traditional rules many churches have added along the way). They want God on their terms. Pray when they need a pick-me-up but the rest of the time do want I want when I want. When I wanted a college degree I had to go to class and do all my work. Yeah I skipped and slacked from time to time but overall I had to try hard to finish the course. I couldn't show up when it was convenint to me. Same with God.

So true... I wear God's Armor and can't imagine where I'd be without it to help me through the hard times.. Most people abuse God's grace... Like it's okay to sin because I will be forgiven. To me going to church does get you to the gates of Heaven, having a personal relationship with God does... Church is just fellowship to celebrate and worship him together... So many people run from God all there life until their on there death bed... Love this thread.. GOD BLESS ALL.!
