Sam;

I think your error is in placing too much emphasis on your earthly life. I believe God created us to love him and to someday be with him. I don't doubt that this is scary to you but get over it. This place will never measure up the the riches and glory he as in store for those that love him. In whatever situation you find yourself be grateful. Only through gratitude, will blessing flow. God inhabits the praises of his people.

What are the commandments of God as you see him? Would you really have me reject the hope I have and come to your position? Why do you think God created you? I must admit that I am only interested in hearing your words. Perhaps after we can share a bit, then we can turn to some of your sources. Before I can trust those you learn from I must first learn to trust you.

Praying for you in Yeshua's name - DLL

Sam,

This preoccupation of the old testament with slavery explains how the Bible Belt states were able to condone it before the Civil War.

They thought, because of the Bible, that god approved of slavery.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!(wouldn't that be a loving, all-knowing creator? NO!! is the answer.)

Thanks for the bible history explanations, Sam. Your version is much more believable than the so-called official ones.

Keep up the good work. You're bringing comfort to many other victims of "bible abuse."
