Are you so sure it's God who has given you a stable career, a
loving wife and kids, a house and a car or did you have to work to
get those? I'm sure you didn't just pray to God and was given all
those without having to do anything to obtain them because that's
what giving denotes, that you didn't have to do anything to obtain
them as it was a gift from God.
I myself am an ex-Christian and if God truly gives us anything
we ask for then I would've been a billionaire but the fact is I am
not even though I have asked for it so God does not give you
everything you ask for. Patience? I've prayed for certain things
every day for years and never gotten them.
God certainly doesn't give us the freedom of choice as if we do
not obey him he will damn us to an eternity of torture. That's as
much freedom as a mugger gives you when he puts a gun to your head
and tells you to give him your wallet. Sure, you have the 'freedom'
to choose whether or not to do what he tells you but disobey him
and you'll receive a bullet to the head, or in this case even worse
- an eternity of suffering.
No just God would sentence someone to torture for an eternity. I
can safely say that I would never wish something like that upon
another person and whoever would is sick and evil.

REPLY:Anyone who obeys His commandments will be
blessed & anyone who disobeys His commandments will be cursed.
If you have read my post properly, i mentioned all i have is given
to me by God, thus a gift.

REPLY: God will not let us be billionaires. You cannot be the
slave of both God & money. You will either hate the first
& love the second or treat the first with respect &
the second with scorn. You claim you are an ex-christian? Do
you even read the bible? And do you attend church every sunday
& be a pious christian? What have you prayed for all these
years? Peace? Health? Smooth career? Or just money? Win toto
& 4D? Have lots of ons & flings? Thing about it my
friend.

REPLY: That's your prerogative. Many will disagree with you like
some will agree with you. No i don't think God will put a
bullet through your head if you sinned. John 3:16? Need me to
spell it out?

REPLY: If you called satan master then yes He will sent you to
hell. God is not sick & evil, less another person. Our God is a
God of love & mercy. Some just don't get it cos the mind
& spirit is corrupted.
