I will answer your question after asking you a question. Does God know what we are thinking at the present moment? Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. –RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." –Mark Twain

I have absolutely no way to know the answer and cannot see how it could in anyway be relevant. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

So yet again you refuse to answer the question even after claiming you would.
So you are saying that God does not know what you will think? Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

If that is true, what does that say about your assertion of being in some communion with God or Jesus?

You want me to say that I don't know if I have such a communion nor can I understand what it even means. Don't you!

I agree with Faith in this argument. If Loving your neighbor as yourself" was the summation of the message...feeding, clothing, encouraging others...then there would have been no need for the first part.
The message is not just to go simply do. I have no problem with good works. I have no problem with the argument that doing good works proves that one believes the message...EXCEPT...that loving God...loving and knowing and talking with and listening to the Risen Christ is as essential. Maybe a lot of goats left behind are Christians, I dunno. Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

No, not at all. I have never asked you to do that or even suggested you should do that.
Okay, but what does that even mean? Do you mean you hope you are actually having some communion?

I will reevaluate your question again, since much has changed in my life and my perspective in the past year. I have no doubt in my mind that God is alive through jesus Christ. I have seen many examples of good and bad human behavior. Granted I cannot prove that theses observations--both in myself and others--were caused by God and there is of course no way to prove it. For me, evidence in the strict sense is not important. My belief is confirmed through my daily experience and I will admit to a degree of confirmation bias.
My issue is not with my mind. My issue is with my heart.

What does the fact the Jesus was never a Christian have to do with the religion named after Jesus? Jesus was born a Jew, raised as a Jew, preached to Jews, lived as a Jew, tried to reform Judaism and died as a Jew. Christianity evolved, was created by many many people over a period of hundreds of years after Jesus died. I explained my membership to you many times. I was raised in a Christian family and educated in a Christian environment and have spent all of my life within that movement. It's not so much a matter of what I want as what I was exposed to and a life path that at least for me makes sense. A call to try to do what I can for those around me simply makes sense.

No, not at all. The passages Christains claim to be about Jesus follow a specific pattern, and the vast majority fit one or more of the below categories
1) Mistranslated

As a side-note, you and I disagree on the Gods we market. Perhaps we can find common ground. Lets pick up our foreknowledge/freewill argument again. You ask the questions.
