      To portray God as a public servant is to ignore what the Bible actually says. God identifies HIMSELF as an angry and jealous god. The definition of 'good' is 'whatever God choses to do'. Yahweh is no different than the gods of the other countries surrounding Canaan in the Bronze Age. He was a storm god that lived on a mountain and spoke with the voice of thunder. The Hebrews were the people given to Yahweh by El, the creator god.

      Being born again is like falling in love. At first you’re unsure and wondering if you made the right choice. But the more you grow together and the more you learn. Really being born again is an experience that can only be achieved if your are willing to try. God be with you all. Always.

    Evan's wife is what I call absolutely true if you believe in THE FATHER and love him, and cherish him in your heart he will answer your prayers,
    If you prayed to have your family to be closer to each other again & be A family again
    than A man she never met, Or seen before. Or never knew have A talk & he told her:
    "If someone payed for their family to be closer to each other does he zap them with fuzzy feelings,
    Or does he give them to opportunity to love each other again"
    That's why Joan was confused because that was the exact thing she prayed for.

He postponed me starting that new job for 3 months (glitch in their hiring process) in which time I had the stress of bills without a paycheck, unreasonable expectations from people around me, donated time at a church thrift store dealing with customers, and the loss of vehicle I really didn't need. In the end, God gave me patience. After that, I started asking for blessings instead. :) LOL
