If you could ask God just 1 question

My question would be. Dear Lord why do you love such a thoughtless, ungrateful and deceitful decaying speck of clay like me?
God bless you brothers and sisters in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.

Hey Roy,
That's a great question, that most of us ask. The answer is at 1John. 4:8, GOD IS LOVE and we know better regards that simple verse. The churches don't really believe that simple statement, because He IS Love, not " could be" or "should be" or " would be" based on anything we should, could, would or have done to receive that Love. Of course my Brother, you already know this. God IS Love just like Jesus IS the Savior of the World, regardless of what we do about it. Such a simple explanation by Ray is prolific to me. The word IS is a state of being and all of us didn't see something this simple, when we belonged to Christendom. It sometimes makes me wonder; If I didn't understand something that simple and basic, then I couldn't understand anything without
God's opening my spiritual eyes and apparently didn't understand that God IS Love(Agapeo) for everyone.
So then Roy, God does Love you the way you are, ;)
Kind regards, Samson.

Hi! Samson
The Book that they sent me is the "Comprehensive Concordance" which was listed under Bibles on the Watch Tower. It will come in very useful no doubt but I rang them and they asked me for some reference number on the Bible I required or Whether it was a KJV or NIV edition. I didn't have a clue so could you please help out.
Thanks and tell your better half from me that I'm pleased she thinks I'm a handsome guy.
God bless you brother and sister in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.

Great Question Roy my dear brother. Its one we probably all ask at some point. Something I have been thinking about just lately which I'd like to share which is kind of relevant to this question. We read and understand much about the humility of Christ, his sacrifice, the humility and sacrifice of the Apostles, and how we must at least live up to that standard if we are to be Gods elect.
But as humble as these truths make us feel, I've been even more humbled recently by contemplating just what God has freely given us. I tried to imagine what it would be like to be fabulously wealthy, say a Billionaire.........would I be willing to give it all away, leaving myself nothing, to people like us? Lets say I owned a country, would I be willing to just give it freely to people like us? Would I be willing to freely sacrifice my only begotten Son as a propitiation for the sins of people like us?
Now try and imagine creating something as vast and complex as the entire universe for the purpose of providing a perfect planet for people like us to dwell on for several thousand years. As if thats not enough, God then gives us his only begotten Son to be our savior. At the beginning of Revelation 21, it indicates that God is going to create again.
Compaired to what God has done and is doing for us, you description of how we are is an understatement.
God bless you Roy.

If I could ask just one question it would have to be something like this.
Father how many times have you created your children . I ask this Father because you say in [Ecc1:9] what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun, you go on to say in V10 is there any thing one can say,look this is something new.It was here already , long ago, it was herebefore our time.V11 there is no remembreance of men of old, and eventhose who are yet to come will not be remembred by those who follow.
And I belive that if our father answred me he would say son this number that you want to hear is so far out of flesh and blood understandeing, that it would dumb found you , there is no number I have allways been and I have allways created.
David your bringing up REV21 , planted this though ,on my mind ,thanks .
In thr spirit of Jesus Christ love yuans, dewey said it
