You believe in a God.

I haven't attempted anything. If people would actually read their Bibles they would know that God can not tell a lie. And no, I don't mean read just the scriptures that state that fact but rather the entire Bible because 16 "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3: 16,17

I know it's a lot of reading but it's worth the effort because it sure does tell the truth about God.

I believe in a SOURCE OF ALL THERE IS....I do not refer to it as god since that connotation gives the picture of the bible god...which is a completely FALSE REPRESENTATION...depicting a sadistic tyrant.

Heaven is in the spirit world... what our Heavenly Father eventually does to the earth, only He knows. What His plan is while there are people still living here is that only love, peace and happiness will prevail. So somewhere down the long road ahead, there will be a major attitude adjustment for the better.
God intended for humans to live on the earth forever. He didn't create it for nothing.

This powerful love removes sin and all of its encrustments that gets lodged on our souls throughout our lives... it's an on-going process and like I've posted before, I've been praying and receiving His Love for over 30 years... some years receiving a whole lot more than others, depending on what was going on at the time. It's only been in the last almost two years that I now have a personal relationship with Him... so receiving His Love before that, I didn't pay attention to Him specifically on a daily basis, only that I knew my soul was receiving it and whenever I would pray for different things, my prayers would be answered. Oh, and because of our personal relationship, I know that He's my Father and I no longer refer to Him as God.

Our souls before they are incarnated are perfect... they live in the Heavens where our Heavenly Father creates them, but once they are implanted in a fetus in the mother's womb, then our soul takes on the propensity to sin from four generations... not that we will sin because of what our ancestors did, but it could very well be possible. But stuff happens in our lives... we may get angry, hateful, hurtful, hold grudges, sometimes do things or say things to another that aren't nice, scream, yell, drink excessively, go into rants and rages, maim, torture or kill someone. All of these things defile our sweet souls and may make us bitter, resentful, etc. There are so many things that get lodged on our souls that, if we paid attention, we could prevent from happening in the first place.

So, as I said before, a mere belief isn't gonna wash and cleanse our souls... sometimes it needs a major scrubbing and with God's Divine Love... this is the quickest way to get the job done.
What a goof.

Born in sin is not scripture.
In fact, Genesis is arguably not our fall but our elevation to gaining our moral sense.
To Adams sin being passed down.
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

I asked God for guidance and was forsaken.

Proverbs 3:12
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

He said He did not love me. What a dick.

I'm assuming you mean the gift of life from God. It is a free gift but that doesn't mean we shouldn't prove worthy of it. The United States is a free country but not everyone is welcome. People wanting to harm it or it's inhabitants are not welcome.

At the time we cease breathing, we are no longer humans... we are spirits and we live in the spirit world... We don't know how long our Heavenly Father plans to keep creating people... it's His call. But when He decides that He has enough children to last Him for eons, then it makes sense that there will be no more babies born on this earth.

P.S. Heaven isn't on this earth... it's in the spirit world.

Huh? What you wrote makes no sense at all. And besides that, do you need to be so crude?
