God wants all or whom so ever wills to come to repentance. I know whatever you did is not the unpardonable sin. It's not Him, it's you. You don't want to give your life to Christ, so try harder, there's a passage in the bible that the one that won't stop asking is wearing Him down and He will listen to you. I'm going to sleep now and you need to think God.talk to me tomorrow.
I'm sorry if you understood me to say I felt the need for forgiveness from some third party entity, but I am satisfied with human to human forgiveness. The pain of regret forestalls repeat offences, so I would not dispense with it to share the lot of the psychopath! Sin is an entirely God oriented concept only vaguely akin to morality, so I have no need for it as a good, empathetic, loving human.
If I believed, I would pray for the amputees. How about praying for just every US Military Veteran amputee who is a Christian to regrow normal human limbs tonight?
Why will you not pray for all US Military Veteran amputees who are Christians to be healed tonight?
Jesus (red letters) said, according to the Bible:
"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
Ask and you will receive. What could be simpler than that?
"For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."
Since a mustard seed is a tiny inanimate object about the size of a grain of salt, it is easy to imagine that the faith of a mustard seed is fairly small. So, paraphrasing, what Jesus is saying is that if you have the tiniest bit of faith, you can move mountains.
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
Mark 11:24:
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
John chapter 14, verses 12 through 14, Jesus tells all of us just how easy prayer can be:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it."
Matthew 18:19 Jesus says it again:
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Honestly, I wish you would try. I hope it works.
Good night.
