Would it be better if God were to remove all possibility of doubt?
My answer, yes of course. I mean, we would still have our problems as humans becuase we live in a sinfull world but if people werent able to doubt thier wasnt a God i think it would make things alot easier. No debates no religous struggles none of that, so yes it would be better. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, God wants to give us freedom, the freedom to make thier own choices of what they want to believe! God doesnt want to force us to beleive in Him because thats just the way He made us, He wants us to choose Him because we WANT to. And I think thats super admirable and awesome because I love my freedom as a person and I have to thank God for giving us the right to choose.

I hope this is right, its just my personal opinion. :)

Religion Pg 36 #2

Have I been mistreated lately? I wouldnt say mistreated, or abused but yes thier have been times in my life when people have been quite less than nice or respectfull to me. Actually it's when people look down on me and take control of my life is when I feel the most angry and discouraged. But I know that Jesus had to deal with 10000000000000X's worse than what I have to deal with so I better just suck it up. How might Jeses' examples and principles of behavior apply to me in my responses? I know that it is extrememly extremely difficult for me to react the way Jesus would, because he was so kind and didnt get mad in thier faces even when people acted thier worst in front of people I know I wouldnt be able to do that. When I get angry or flustlered it is hard to remember to respond the way Jesus did and wants us too because you just get so caught up in yourself and upset. Most of the time I manage to keep my temper because I know If I dont i'll feel guilty later so I better not do that...So I try and just take it all in stride and try to improve myself even if that means keeping all my anger inside.

Hope its okay i did this assignment as a blog post.

Phase 2 Religion Postzzz

How does understanding what God has done for me in Christ affect my moral character?
Sometimes I forget all the things God has done for me, and when I think about them He really has done
alot for us. Sending His only Son to earth to die for every one of our sins and then have Him rise up again and
heal and forgive everyone. God watches over us and guides us, and even though we mess up and look away from Him sometimes He still loves us and is there. When I think of this it makes me feel ashamed that I have forgotten what an awesome God we have, it makes me feel like I should do things that Jesus would do and be closer to others like He was. How do the principals of God's word guide my moral behavior? I am guessing this question means the 10 commandments, I am not going to lie I break those commandments alot and I feel like I should follow how God wants us to behave but it is really hard. Sometimes I work really hard in wanting to behave how God wants me too but then when I forget or get angry or mess up or something... I just dont care anymore and I do whatever I want. I know it shouldnt be this way but its the truth, I have to work hard in order to be close to God and not stray from the person He wants me to be.

-Hope this answers the questions.
