Bet you thought I forgot you, huh?
Not yet!
I read through your rather long winded testimonials, as well as your comments on morality, and I have reached the conclusion that you are exactly the type of Christian that it's my hope to prevent others from becoming. That type of Christian is the deluded type that blindly supports every notion in the bible about God, and sees nothing wrong with the many many crimes against humanity that the bible alleges to have happened as a result of god's command.
By the way, Moses was given powers from god, as were a number of other characters in the bible.
Care to demonstrate any of yours? Surely you gained some supernatural ability(s) as a result of the numerous supernatural experiences you've had.
I'll tell you what, why don't you pray to god and ask him to send me an undeniable sign of some sort? You'd think that might have happened during the 25 plus years I served as a Christian, but maybe I just needed the intercession of someone as spiritually in tune as yourself.
I'll be waiting and I'll report our findings.
Ok, ok.. So you want me to pray to God to have Him send you a sign to validate your current understanding of faith?
What if God does not want you to have your current understanding of faith? Why would He send you a sign to validate it? After all you did what you understood to do for 25 years and in all of that time God never spoke to you confirming what you understood to be truth, why would He now?
Not to mention even if He took the time to give you the 'sign' you wanted would you even be in the state of mind to recognise it? What if it came in the form of having you question everything you believe as 1thess 5:21 says do? Would you recognise your total lack of 'faith' as a sign or urging from God to have you "unlearn what you have learned" and start over?
