There are huge differences between the old and the new, mainly the amount of miracles endured in the old.

I have long speculated on this, and I have reasoned why there were massive amounts of miracles in the Old Testament is because God had to prove he was there, humans cannot just start believing in something, and that is why it had to be done. In the new world, it is a test of faith, and that is what it comes down to.

Now for


It is faith that leads you to heaven. Have you ever prayed? Have you ever opened up and attempted to communicate with God? If so, have you alway done it mentally and never speak outloud in your prayers due to fear of embarrassment or lack of faith? Trust me, if you truly pray with your heart and soul, you will get a response.

Non-believers ridicule this, but it is to them that receive my pity. They do not know, they will never know, unless they cast aside pride and have humility toward the Creator.

We are all children of God, you are not just another face in the crowd, amongst the billions on this planet. You are an individual with your unique talents and persona. God said in the Bible that he knows the hairs on your head, he knows you before you were born.

Everyone, no matter if you were born wealthy in Scandinavia, or born in a tribe in Ethiopia, you are given AT LEAST 1 opportunity to follow God.
