Peace2God'sPeople,
Ever heard of the prodigal son? The prodigal son represents the lost soul who finally comes comes to their senses. Did the father of the prodigal son (representing God) restrain the son from his inheritance? Does God force things on us or is He long suffering and patient with us? Again, you are just relying on feelings. And mentioning the divorce rate amongst those who call themselves Christians does nothing against what Jesus teaches and how salvation is achieved. Doesn't the Bible teach that people will be deceived?
Finally, you want practical guidance? Read Jesus' teachings in the gospels, read the epistles, READ PROVERBS!!!!!!!!!!! Don't tell me that all Christianity offers is going into your closet and pray.
