{"product_id":"2940012445810","title":"What Do You Do When Jesus Isn't Enough","description":"It's obvious that Christianity, the Holy Bible, Jesus, Jehovah and even other religions don't have all the answers.  Christians have been listening to their leaders tell them for years, that all they need to do is pray, worship, read the Bible and even use faith, to solve problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does this really mean?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomeone's mother gets hit by a drunk driver and is paralyzed, for the rest of their life.  A small child, dies at birth or even world starvation can lead us to doubt the intelligence and compassion, of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's absurd to listen to someone tell you that they have all the answers or that you can find them, in a book somewhere.  What's even more amazing than this are the ridiculous claims (from the Bible) that cannot be validated, by religious and even government leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the biggest copouts in the whole wide world is that only God knows why something happened.  One person dies from cancer, another from AIDS and another gets shot, while worshiping, but does anyone know why.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod does, but which God and where does he live and why won't he help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't worry, because Jesus will provide you with everything you need, even though the things you need right now, aren't here. But, why won't Christians ask why, why aren't the things I need here, today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou prayed for weeks and you’ve been worshiping for years, but the pain just isn't going away.  Your prayers aren't being answered and by the time you actually start to realize that your prayers aren't being answered, you're 55 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaybe you're 75 years old, when you finally start to examine some of the events in your life that just didn't make any sense.  All you needed to do was pray, worship and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and everything would just work out… but it didn't.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company that you had spent your entire life working for has just declared bankruptcy. You've just lost your job, because another country, filled with nonbelievers and atheists can make the same products, cheaper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting to sound familiar, maybe this is something you just recently watched on the news or it's happening right now, to someone you love and care about.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bible taught you to be meek and help others, but now it's you who needs the help, but there isn't anyone there. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou've been hollering and screaming, praying and worshiping, but what do you really do when God isn't answering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou've been through some tough economic times and you're tired.  You don't have the will to push forward and there isn't anyone else, who's willing to hire someone your age or retrain them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou've been reading the Bible, your entire life, but some of these Bible verses aren't realistic.  You know plenty of people who aren't nice, never help anyone and still seem to prosper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy now, you realize that life isn't fair and weaker people get taken advantage of, by stronger ones.  You can even see this within your own Christian organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does it mean to be meek and what kingdom are you going to inherit, anyway?  Quit telling me what I'm going to inherit and start showing me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatthew 5:5 (American Standard Version) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe word meek means to show submissiveness and lack initiative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bible tells you that you will inherit the earth, but what does that really mean?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf I was to literally interpret this Bible verse, it would clearly be defined like this. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe individuals who are submissive and lack initiative will inherit the earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Jesus, if you obey the rules, no matter how confusing they are and you avoid all initiative and action, you will inherit something that you already have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWouldn't it sound better, if it said that the meek shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, but rich, mean, cruel and murdering people won't?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt least you could say, take that, you rich jerk, but you really can't, because there's other Bible verses that make heroes out of wealthy people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConfusing… you bet, but there are excuses… and Christian leaders have plenty of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI can't imagine anyone striving to be meek and inheriting something that they already have access to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's only one way to Heaven and that's through Jesus.  Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and every other religion or spiritual practice, won't get to go.  Jesus holds the keys to the kingdom and millions of Christians, know this to be true, but don't have any proof or evidence to support their statements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou need evidence to support your claims, any claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere isn't any proof that Christians will have eternal life or even a better life than nonbelievers.  This is a fact, not a belief and it will remain a fact, until someone can provide us with enough evidence.","brand":"Greg Vanden Berge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081295020272,"sku":"2940012445810","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012445810_p0.jpg?v=1763568940","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012445810","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
