Now I have a hard time believing God would be this confusing, so either he aint talking or he don't exist, either way people are talking to themselves when they pray.

God created unconditional love and i believe He does love us ALL that way!! yes we all fail but God does not expect perfection from us..he expects our best!! this is a great post...i look forward to reading more....... i totally agree!! nothing we do impresses God. after all, He IS the Almighty!! the Bible does speak of being a good testimony and the abstaining from the appearance of evil and such but, ultimately, i dont think it matters what “others” think. i try to make sure i am on the right path with God and to the birds with what “other” think. i believe that once you are saved ,you are always saved no matter what…we cannot “work” our way to heaven, but i get the feeling you arent alking about losing your salvation….more that you wonder if there is a report card when we get to heaven kind of thing. i believe there will be…Christians will be judged for the good they do in there lives…not whether they go to heaven (thats already been decided when they got saved) but how “good ” their heaven will be.
