God's goodness alone should lead you, NFS, to Him. Some of his people are obnoxious (perhaps you think I am), some of His people are ignorant (perhaps you think I am), all of His people are imperfect and have flaws (I certainly head the class), and then there are a multitude who speak in His name but by their inconsistent and sinful lifestyle cause God's name and character to be blasphemed cf. Romans 2).

Yet even if I (or other believers) be obnoxious, ignorant, and imperfect (and have many times been such) how does that justify your rejection of the only true and living God who loved you so much as to take to Himself a full human nature, as to take the penalty for your sins, and thus show His love for you while also satisfying His justice as well as demonstrating that sin will have dire consequences for those who choose to "go it alone"?

The very goodness of God, the fact He provides you with food, the blessings of family, laughter, eye sight, taste, children and grand children, and literally every single good thing in your life should be enough to cause you to thank Him for all those blessings, to bow down and worship Him, and to submit to His will as you seek to glorify Him.

Whether you submit to Him now or later, eventually every knee will bow.

The bold paragraph completely contradicts itself. You give mercy to your own, but not others. Fault, or Flaw, is something that all Human Beings deal with, and that includes Fault in understanding, relationship, and faith.

IMO, this is the number 1 problem with Religion. As long as you follow our basic rules, you're in the Group, regardless of your imperfections. This is nothing but an endless Witch Hunt.
