Sam, You have spent so much time researching that you can't see the forest for the trees. The Bible is such a simple book Sam...you just don't get it. God sent his only begotten Son to come to the earth to die for miserable sinners like you and me, so that those who believe in Him might have everlasting life. Can it be any simpler than that? You don't even acknowledge you are a sinner. My five year old neighbor even acknowledges that he is a sinner and things are so simple and clear to him. So you've never sinned in your entire life Sam? You've never had an immoral thought? I guess since you don't think you are a sinner, therefore you don't need a savior. If you think Jesus didn't shed His blood for you Sam then I pity you. I can't explain your "experience" that you had, nor will I try, but I think you are very, very misguided. Since you don't believe the Bible to be the word of God, then you have absolutely nothing to base your faith on....zilch...notta. I know the Bible is true Sam. I know Jesus is real Sam. I know I'm a forgiven sinner Sam. These are absolutes in my life. You had an "experience"....I had a heart change Sam. I have a new life in Jesus Christ my Lord. You seem to be a bitter person for some reason...whether you had an unpleasant experience at a church in the past or the such I don't know. But I do know that at this point you are destined for hell for your unbelief in Jesus Christ. Oh I forgot, but you don't believe in hell. Are you that sure there is no hell Sam? Can you sleep soundly at night with the certainty that there is no hell? What if you are wrong? Are you willing to bet your life on it, because that is what you are doing. Come back home Sam, to the Jesus that you were taught about as a child in the Christian church you attended. You are in my prayers. Paul
