Sam, it takes more faith to not believe scriptures than it does to believe them. Have you read any of C.S. Lewis? Mere Christianity would be a good starting point. An atheist is living a life of faith in his refusal to believe. An agnostic is living a life of faith in his "step above" atheism. A Buddist is living a life of faith. And on and on it goes. It takes faith for the evolutionist to believe: In the beginning, a big blob of protoplasm...." There is a book out on mathematical probabilities re. prophecies in the O.T. You are really gambling your life to bet against the prophecies. Sam, people need the Lord, as the song goes--- To put your trust in your "experience" is a dead-end. You may be sincere, but sincerity doesn't cut the mustard. For example, let us suppose I awaken in the night with a splitting headache. I grope to the bathroom and reach for a bottle in the medicine cabinet---because the headache is severe, I take an extra dosage of pills---I'm sincere, I want to get rid of the headache, but in the groping for the pills, I pick up the wrong bottle and the dosage I take kills me. Is that fair? I was sincere. BUT I was sincerely wrong. Sam, return to the faith you once had in Jesus in your younger years. God bless you. I'm praying for you. OMB Old man Sam may be sincere And his wife may think he is a dear But 'agamblin with 'yer soul Will take its eternal toll A HOLY GOD we need to properly "fear"
