"As I've tried to state before since God is outside of this universe he can be anything or everything you want.

Especially if it makes it easy to want to believe, I worship the right God,
he will protect me from my enemies,evil.

He will show me the way to get the things I want(things he wants me to want) If I don't them here in this life the true believers(and only the true believers) will get them in the next life.

Might be an offer to good to be true."


Larson, what christians have you been talking too?

Yes god can be everything you want him to be. BUT he won't and probably isn't. Nobody can make God do things for them. I can't make God give me squat. Although God does protect us from evil, he also lets things happen. God lets things happen to us to mold us and others into better people. God even lets bad things happen to us becuase he tests us....GULP....Read about a man named JOB from the bible. God does not give "true christians" what they want on earth. But in heaven they do get what they want. What is that they want. To worship God and have all pain eliminated from their lives. A true Christian is not concerned with what God can do for them. They are concerened with what they can do for God and God's people. A true Christian wants to honor God in everything he does. And they believe in loving their neighbors as they love theirselves. True christians are the best friends you will ever have because they dont care about your looks (money, possesions, sins, etc)----they care about your soul. They don't want the non-saved to miss out eternal life with God in heaven.

The story of Job

In the story, Satan challenges God, saying that the loyal and righteous Job would abandon his faith if he were the victim of a series of terrible trials. God takes the bet and Job is subjected to a slew of raw deals. Job gets angry, but ultimately realizes the power and glory of God, and his faith carries him through. The theme of the story addresses the question of why bad things happen to good people, and is the source of the phrase "the patience of Job."

i'll shut up now. Christians--please correct me on any information that i have given or give that is or may be wrong.
