Chris thank you for your comments. I did not come to know God better by honoring him... or by being a great christain... I came to know him by being at ground zero. When there seemed like no hope, I turned to him. Anyways, I am far from perfect & God helped me a great deal... not by going to Chruch and listening to the drones there... not by the hypocracy of the many men that developed the many different chruches, & not by other people pushing God on me, I found him myself & he has heard me. Thanks again.
Rob, What i was reffering to in Galations was the list of vices & virtues. 5:19 outlines the many acts of sin... which is NOT honoring God. Believe me, I believe in the fruit of the spirit, but the topic was about a family who all died w/ innocent childeren. Outlaw voiced his frustration... confused about God, he said how could this happen??? I too have said these words to God. I get the feeling that no one is going to push God, the Bible, or Chruch on him right now. Outlaw probably does not take orders from too many people.... nor does he probably want other beliefs to judge him. He is an old Biker... rough around the edges... does not take orders.... anyways, I was gently telling him that he reminds me of a few old friends of the like. He will come to God on his own & on his terms. If I can help, great. I will not force him to listen. I believe he has a good heart... I have watched his posts & i like him. God has a plan for him. No hard feelings. Spirituality brings up some passonate conversations... we must be careful. Look at all the wars it creates... JMO
