First many would claim to have such a relationship through Christ, but the Bible says that within this same group some would please God and some would not. Therefore there are two kinds of relationship with God:

- a disciple of Christ

Does God contact the person and tell them?

Unforgiveness or other un-dwelt with heart problem.
And this relationship can be hindered - though i ...[text shortened]... estions you are asking ??
Or are these questions looking for some logical problems for debate?

I disagree. You have not quoted anything from the Bible to support your statements.

The thing you should draw from this is God is the best part of being a Christian.
