You said god made to understand yet we still are reading it differently.

Quote:I've looked at both sides, I study with an open mind and will ask God why do certain things in scripture seem to be contradictory or out of character, I continue to study until I receive the answers.
Your only asking god, and others in the same religion? How is that not one sided?

Quote:you believe I'm closed minded because you're right and I'm wrong, I see that as closed minded. You also believe I'm closed minded because I stick with what I believe, why should I abandon what I know is right, especially since you have not given any solid proof I'm wrong.I'm Agnostic, so I am looking at both sides to try and find an answer that makes since.
Please re read what you said. It confuses me to think YOU are right and I'M wrong...
GC Wrote:I didn't say you were dumb, I said you seem not to have anything of intellectual use to give. I understand your thinking, you need to see actual proof before you will believe in anything. I see the world through my observations also, the difference is I've learned to observe through God's eyes and why not, He is the Creator after all.Your god? You can't see the world if you have blinders on

GC Wrote:Don't you think I feel the same way, I know for a fact God is real, and that He is who He says He is, but so many want listen, they would rather make fun of what I know. I'll say to you what I've said to many here and it's an undeniable truth, death will bring the truth to everyone or no one. Those are the only two options, it's all or nothing.
GC Wrote:I'm saying I do know for sure, no doubts, absolutely sure. There are no other gods, if there were why haven't they come to me wanting me as their child. Everyone can come to know God now, that's one of the purposes of Christ. In the past most cultures abandoned God and chased after stone and wooden idols as their gods, even the Israelites. God chose to make them His people through Abraham to bring a knowledge of Him to the world again, God worked through history to reveal Himself in Christ.
Now I am intrigued, how has god shown you his existence? Can you give a few examples, please?
See my grandparents are Christian/Catholic. I have been to church, but have not been shown of gods existence.
