Which brings us back to the "LOVE" part! Cause that is what it's all about....with the Lord anyway.
He wants to give us His divinity! But....WE NEED TO EARN IT!
-You have a book that says so.
-How did the people who wrote the book knew that?
-They were inspired.
-How is that different from making it up? (this is the question I never got answered by any theist.... crossing my fingers!!)
- I don't know! It's all based on the information we all know, Faith, and the Holy Spirit who as....
- ...written in the Gospel is the "Real Teacher".
- Jesus! The Old Testament is just that: Aside from the Words of God...it's old stories, some good some bad. The Gospel should be the main focus.
- "Making it up" is inspired by a man's lies. "Writing a story" is taking all the evidence and info you have to form an idea of what the truth is!
Obviously we decide what the [truth] is once we have "all" the [information].
We may never have, or want either!
