You're welcome. You'll have to find God's will for your own life. We are not all made the same and we don't all have the same calling and life experiences. What is experienced as the crucifixion for one person may be like a bump in the road for another. All the best.

Re: what God really wants?
Every one has a religion this his or her own. For me God is something you believe in something you can always count on to guide you out of trouble, not any particular spirit, person (jesus for example) or diety. To me God is all things that are not material. The feelings within for example my dad always told me "To live, indeed, is not in our power, but to live rightly is"

You have no clue what "worship" is. So how can you proselytise such?
Salesman, selling the lottery for seats in heaven, except no one goes to heaven but you and 143,999 others. Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.
Disgusting.

Who Killed the Roger Rabbit Sequel?
Quote:
|
One would think that if a film pulls in over $325 million dollars at the worldwide box office, a sequel would be quickly put into production. But in Hollywood, the only thing that can overcome studio greed is ego. And in the case of 1989’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit it was a clash between some of the biggest names in Hollywood - Steven Spielberg and Disney studio head Michael Eisner - that squashed any hope of further feature length adventures of the loony `toon.

what God really wants?
is Unity of Worship .
and guess what, he is acheiving that .
AROUND the globe there is a thrilling movement toward unity of worship.
It is bringing together millions of people of all nations, tribes, and languages. More are being gathered each year.
These are identified in the Bible as "witnesses" of Jehovah and are called "a great crowd." They render God "sacred service day and night." (Isaiah 43:10-12; Revelation 7:9-15)
yes we are living in thrillling times indeed,
Jehovah CAUSES TO BECOME
YES ITS ALL HAPPEWNING IN THESE THE LAST DAYS
"It must occur in the final part of the days [these last days] that the mountain of the house of Jehovah [his elevated true worship] will become firmly established above the top of the mountains [above any other type of worship], . . . and to it peoples must stream. And many nations will certainly go and say: ‘Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.’"—Micah 4:1, 2; Psalm 37:34.
AND ITS VERY GOOD

Christians as I know are the most hating other viewpoints than any other religion or philosophy! You lie when say another. And I being a theosophist and Buddhist want to say - Love to God is much elder than Christianity itself!
And if people weren't aware of Christ because they had a misfortune to be borne in Islamic or Buddhist country - should they go to hell, then? No. God is much more kind and clever than Christians.
Why Christendom, when so beautiful religions exist nearby?! We must study them all to be able to choose every good from each one.

Hi Dharmaatmaa
Out of curiousity, how would you define a Christian?

Re: what God really wants?
While all the "sheep" obeyed the shephard, there was one who was wayward. And the shephard went in search of that one.
God wants the individual to come into personal relationship with him. There is no "unity" of worship. That's called a "Fan club". Read that as "Fanatics" where everyone thinks the same thing.
We are different from each other, and if we each have a personal relationship with God, then God delights in those differences with us. Why? Because he made us that way, each unique. And he wants to be there with us as we discover our uniqueness.
He likes to see each tree up close, never mind the forest...

Nice sentiment. The universe is indeed benevolent to us. Otherwise we would simply never have existed. But no two things in this universe are identical so it would seem if this does have a creator then it would appear to value uniqueness. Flocks of sheep bleating out human dogmas as truths should be funny, crazy behaviour but its too widespread in its negatives to laugh. Valuing and researching the wide implications of uniqueness however is a human achievement as important as any. And one we should always exercise.

Once you get rid of the Mormons everything will become just lovely and the birds will sing once again.

Now that is a rational statement.
If it weren't for a medic who happened to be Mormon, I'd be deaf and crippled, if not dead. So you can understand why I don't share your sentiments. (oh, it's called the bends, happens to divers). And he shared Christ and his faith with me, while I healed.
I think that's what God really wants. Diversity but with a common thread between us.
