Sam, go ahead with your assessment of me, but allow me to describe you as well.
"I can only tell you that you do not understand your existence."
Be specific, why do I not understand my existence?
"With the attitude you have of the fact I don't know the history of your body, which is very true. Your Ego of the mortal mind is brought on by the very nature of that Ego."
You might have to explain this a little more clearly. Why would you want to know the history of my body? I do not believe I've told anybody on any of these threads, who I am, if I was male or female, anything physical at all. I don't believe it has any relevance in a forum such as this. The beauty of SI is that we can have a discourse based solely on our intellects.
"I can explain first that the bible is not historic fact."
Sam, this is your opinion only. You have made claims that the Romans changed the Bible to fit their needs, prove it.
"God did not favor one person over another.",
Well this is one statement of fact. God is not a repecter of persons.
Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Or better, He does not discriminate between people, He treats us all the same.
"My answer is another enigma which because of lack of understanding, cannot be explained to anyone without the abilty to reason."
Sam, are you saying that because I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, that I do not have the capacity to reason? On the contrary my good friend, come let us reason together, was the plea of God to Israel (Isaiah 1:18). He is a God of reason.
Sam, throughout history man has been one step short of perfect. There has not been one man, woman, church, or otherwise that was, is, or will be perfect EXCEPT Jesus. And that was because He is God in the flesh. To look at the injustice and immorality of mankind and blame it on God is foolishness. Sam I know how old you are, and the physical obstacles you face, because you have shared them with us here. And I know that it shapes the person that is Sam, however God is greater that any physical problem and His love can empower an individual to overcome this temporary housing of our souls. Sam if I have offended you at all, or have given you the impression that I hate you, then I repent and ask for your forgiveness. But let it be known Sam, that the ideas you proclaim, I will argue against vigorously. You must know that it is not personal.
In God's love,
Tom |
