"Do you believe God wants you to be successful?"

[Getinonthis]

I believe God created the Earth and everything in it for our benefit.
And as a loving father why would he not desire you to be successful in your endeavors.
That's my opinion let me know if you agree or if you differ.

I totally agree with you, man.

That explains the 70% salt water, cancerous sunrays, and dangerous natural disasters. If you really stand up and look down, you'll realize that the world is furthest from being ripe for our benefit. This is an extremely selfish (and probably ethnocentric) stance that will be the death of us all unless we parallel ourselves with nature and not rise above it too high. Hell, we're causing desertification at an accelerated rate which means less food in the future. Tell that to the religious crowds who keep having 5+ kids per couple.

And as a loving father why would he not desire you to be successful in your endeavors.

How can you say this when there's other religions that believe in thousands of gods or those who are freethinkers? Explain how they can be successful in their endeavors when they don't know about your god, strictly believe in other gods, realize religion is bogus, etc.?

yes but there are those out there who would love to stop me from getting somewhere.

You fully express what I personally feel. Thank you for sharing.

To each their own, I feel my success is best left in my hands and when I die, we'll sort it all out then.

[drmotroni]

As long as we have God, nothing is too much to handle.

It's funny I heard one ethnocentric person claim that nature is their god and we as well as that person is killing him (umm... we can kill God.) While I heard another speak for either self or on behalf of others stating that neither of his/her many gods desire for him/her to be successful. while the question simply states to each his own (according to your belief for me it's my faith) do you believe God (your choice, I know mine) wants you to be successful?

No problem! I'm glad there are others who value this world.

do you believe God (your choice, I know mine) wants you to be successful?

Well in that case- which god?

[trekbabe]

Sure I do! Why would God want me to fail?  He put us here to succeed and be happy with our families. 

[oldbuddy]

Just as much as I want my own kids to succeed.

This is a discussion so obviously everyone is going to freely voice his/her opinion, in consideration that there is a person on the other end.
While I enjoy a touchy debate, my desire is not to offend. This is my belief and I thank my God who inspired this saying.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
