🤣
That last post by Robert was painful to read. Again, I can’t imagine living with someone who’s constantly telling you what you think or know by hanging that fictional book over your head. What a unhappy life lol
Well big fish Robert is not unhappy.
He is very blessed and has a peace that is beyond understanding. He has love joy peace...
An obedient Christian ( not doing willful sinning ) who prays reads word trust in The Lord ( without faith "trusting" it is impossible to please The Lord ...Hebrews ch 11) praising / worshipping from the heart...
( those that worship The Lord must worship Him in spirit & truth ...sincerely. )
Then God's Presence ( Annointing ) will be upon him....
Where the Spirit of The Lord is there is liberty !!!
Light bulb....no electricity...no light.
Light bulb with electricity ...the room is lit up ...no darkness.
Ok granted when the average joe blow hears the gospel or religious info there is a knee jeck re action...bull crap...look at all these JWs knocking on doors ...Mormons knocking on doors...standing by a bank with the Watchtower mag. or dozens of Christian denominations ...Baptist Lutherans Pentacostal on & on....plus all the greedy bad example evangelists.
Then comes all the other isms....major religions....
They all have their hand up in the air !!! We have the truth or more truth than the other church....
Then we have the major master minds who bring the almighty truth and facts in their own minds ...EVOLUTION ... No God did not create humans....what happened was...they say ...billions of years ..from swamp ..to crawly ..to apes cave people to humans ( gee if we came from apes ...why is there still apes ? Should there only be people. Why did some apes evolve to people /other apes stay apes ? )
Check out youtube vid: God of Wonders 2009 documentary.
Shows universe stars planets sea fish animals birds nature snowflake so on and men of science will conclude there is a God behind it all.
But with all those loud voices screaming they have the special "truth" join us ...( come in the door ..how are you? We are now going to brainwash & program you into one of us...and in a month's time you will give us a % of your $ & your free time...you will have to come to meetings 2x a week ...are you not excited !!! Then we will expect you to go out and brainwash ...pardon me ...I mean enlighten your relatives and friends & we can be one big happy family !!! Oh do you have your check book with you..Cash credit card.....)
No wonder most are scared to check into religious things

That is why I keep it simple and non threatening or scary...
That's why when sharing about the gospel ...I share that they do not have to attend any church ever if they do not want to ...or give $$$ .
I do not want their name phone # or address.
My only purpose is the Titanic is sinking ..and point the passengers to a lifeboat that still has room.
Jesus is that lifeboat.
I know 1000% that there is a real Jesus / a devil/demons and heaven or hell.
How do I know 1000%
![Huh ???](http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Ok I heard about Jesus message as to grade 7 attended a Christian school.
If you asked me at a young age do you believe in Jesus....my answer would of been Oh yes .
Why?
Well because my school and church told me.
Youngsters believe what they are told by authorities.....teachers pastors priests...
But when I was in the government school system in latter 60's ..high school in early 70's...well there was pot,alcohol,girls...Rolling Stones and 30 and more other top top rock bands....Beatles ...let's put it this way...If it felt good Do it. No rules .
My teacher's and pastor/priest blah blah ...was " Well who knows? Are they right ? Maybe they are wrong.
I did not believe it or dis believe the gospel....it was more of ....I'm not sure.
I have to think for myself and not let others tell me what to believe in.
So....in 1973 was in Williams Lk for the summer break from high school ( Centennial High School Coquitlam ) and got a 2 month job working at a sawmill.
Honestly should not of landed that job because mills were laying off workers !!!
Exports were slow to the USA at that time.
It was while there ...living in a tent..piling lumber in the mill ....1 week dayshift...1 week afternoon shift....eating pork & beans from can...sardines...brown bread...peanut butter...
But had lots of time to think...after my 8 hr shift.... Friends parents relatives 100s of miles away.
Many times I would think ....Is this Jesus and Holy Bible fact or BS
How can I know one way or other ?
I do not want a hope so faith.
Or pull at the straws faith.
Maybe it's real.
Guessing game or assuming it's fact.
If I was to really believe I wanted a KNOW SO faith.
Was puzzled how to go about it.
Then on a Sat. the first weekend of August in that tent about 9pm ....got an idea.
Hey it says we can talk to God. Pray to Him. Well that's communication. Like a hot line to God.
In communication a person can say something or ask a question.
Hey...why do I not just ask Jesus directly if He really exists !!!
Got the idea that the tent is not a special place to ask...should be near the church building...
So off I went...about a 20 minute fast jog. ( McKenize Ave )
There's the cemetery ...there's the hospital over there...over this way a church.
Door locked ..no problem.
On my knees ..Told God I'm not some holy guy or anything...but if He is real will You show me.
( not crazy ...not on drugs or on a high.....)
After the prayer....from my heart directed to the Godhead Father Jesus Holy Spirit 3 in 1 Trinity...Triune
Creator ....God of the Holy Bible....literally a supernatural encounter !!!
His Presence was so intense ...it freaked me right out so to express....better way to say it is ...over welling.
Who am I to be having this encounter with the living God.
As His Presence was there ...I kept my eyes closed for the most part ...because honestly my heart was beating quickly. Guess it's just the awe of it all....His Almighty ness and my smallness in comparison.
I mean what does God and I have in common...
What do ya do at a moment like that? Hey God thanks for showing up. Do ya want to drink a beer with me ?
Anyways I prayed ...ok Thank You Your real....now would You now go away !!!
Zoom the Presence of God left as requested.
Well I can tell you from that point and time it was no more a Wonder if God is real?
It was I know He is real.
Now I believed that book from cover to cover.
So...if you are having any questions or thoughts that the gospel is real....just go to Him.
Have a heart talk with God.
He truly is the Maker the Creator...best thing He loves and forgives.
Like how ya love your dog ....that's how God loves you.
In Romans it says....Who ever calls on the name of The Lord shall be saved !!!
That's all I'm hoping for you...go to Him.
( not trying to force you to a church or give $$$ or get brainwashed ha! )
Plus heaven will be your home....and free yourself from the spider web of satan and eternal hell.
Like get in the lifeboat off the sinking Titanic .
You will never see me ask your name or say give $ or go to this or that church...
But you will hear me say...go to Jesus the gospel and pray to Him and see what happens.
