So god created me. He knows everything I will do or have done. I don't believe in this god and don't accept that it exists. What happens to me if I don't repent?

it's your choice. You can accept that God exists and live a life that he wants you to live or you can continue living your life without him. Either way, God will see it. And depending on how you live, your life determines where you will go after you die. If you do not repent, then you will be sent to hell. I'm not saying this to condemn you. It's like a father having two children. One that will listen to everything that he wants that child to do, and the other that disobeys because he just doesn't want to listen. That disobedient child will have more punishment if he doesn't recognize what he is doing is wrong and goes against what the father asked. It's the same way with God. he loves you. Jesus loves everyone. But he doesn't treat everyone the same. You all think love is a one track mind. Except everyone, be comfortable with one another's lives. But no, that's not what love is and that's not who God is. All he wants to see is his son in us. His son's blood is the only thing that gets us to heaven. But repentance is necessary for growth. Confession is necessary for repentance. It's recognizing that the way you live. Your life is against God in some way shape or form. And he can help you recognize where you are and what you need to fix. All you need to do is to open your heart up to it. I hope this message finds you well.

It's what I wanted to hear. A god who supposedly loves me knew that he would creat me and that I wouldn't believe in him so he is sending me to burn in a lake of fire for the sin of not believing in him even though he hasn't given me any proof nor reason to believe. You don't see the fault or problem with this? This is an all knowing god. I try to live my life and be a good person but I'm being condemned and damned to hell just because of what I believe to not be true. Not for killing or harming others, not lying, not stealing but for a belief that I have.

Just to make this clear I'm not worried about burning in hell. I promise. I also don't hate Christians or you for trying to preach what you believe to be right.

God doesn't send anyone to Hell. it brings him no pleasure to punish the wicked. What you don't understand is that these 10 Commandments go deeper than just the physical and mental realms. How are you feeling? Your heart could even be simple. That's why we need Jesus to change us. He came down in a flesh body just like our. He left a perfect and sinless life only for every person seems to be dumped on him at the cross. It took them all upon himself, even though he never sent. And because he. sacrifice himself for every single person on this earth as a man filled with God, he's the bridge that keeps the relationship open. Why aren't you worried that you will possibly burn in hell? I would be terrified. God is real. He doesn't have to prove himself to you or anyone. He has already done that countless times. You just need to surrender how you think, how you feel, how you see the world to him. And ask him if he's real. Honestly, I didn't believe God existed either. I grew up going to church, not knowing if heaven was even real. But, because I asked, I received an experience. It doesn't hurt to ask. You can call people hypocrite in the church, yeah, the church is full of hypocrites. But that's not who God represents. God knows every single person's heart. And that's where feelings and thoughts and emotions come from. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. Would you be mad at a person who warned you about a ditch if you were to fall into it after they warned you about it? If so, that's misdirected. You're miss directing whatever you feel at God. Really, it should be on you to decide to choose life or death . We're a born into the sinful nature. That's why we all need Jesus to become born again. It's his well that non-perish. I hope you think about all of this. The reality that we live in is not all that it seems.

in fact, in the Old Testament, a priest would have to kill a lamb without spot or blemish to make peace between Israel and God for a year. That's because the spirit of God was only in the temple and not everywhere like it is now. But certain things needed to happen before Jesus came down in the flesh. Anyway, after he died and rose from the dead, his blood, which will always remain alive makes peace between us and God, the father. So that we can receive his Holy Spirit. There is no other spirit like him. So that we could become living sacrifices for Jesus to live in and operate through. That's why the Bible calls him the eternal lab of God. Also, in Egypt, God kill all the firstborn or rather he had an angel do it. That wasn't because he hated the people. He hated how they were treating his people. But in order for his people to be recognized, they needed to kill a lamb and put the blood on their door post and eat the meat of the lamb after doing that. God didn't want to kill all the firstborn babies, but that was pharaoh punishment as well as the slave masters in Egypt. He gave them several chances to repent, and they didn't. God is merciful and graceful. But the question is, are we willing to test the limits? Time is running out to decide.

Jesus loves you, Fred. come back to him with brokenness. don't let the wolves fool you with their sheep's clothing. God will give you all wisdom, understanding & etc if you ask. to be completely honest, I didn't know that we had to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I just thought that we needed to confess that we believed, and we would be safe. After all, that's what the Bible says. But it goes much deeper than that. Wherever we are weak in our lives, he has the strength to get us through the weaknesses. I don't really know the full extent of why you stopped believing in God, but he has never stopped, loving you.
