Its like explaining the sky to a blind person. They have absolutely no concept of what you are talking about!
Quote:I "EXPECT" God to hear my prayers. And He answers them.-and yet you pay your bills on time, you show up to work, the kids are fed, the house is clean, the spouse is sated....... That's just too much man, are we still having a serious discussion?
When you have a relationship with God? NOTHING ELSE MATTERS BUT THAT!
Quote:I'm seeing why Jesus was crucified right before my eyes. People got pissed because they couldn't understand Him!My lack of understanding had nothing to do with his crucifixion, nor, in your beliefs - did theirs. In your faith, jesus' crucifixion was a matter of prophecy and fulfillment. Those people had to make those choices, those things had to be done. This was the will of god and fulfillment of his promises. Jesus was crucified because -you- need him to have been crucified. Try to take some responsibility for that, rather than curtly accusing others of having been accessories to torture and human sacrifice. If you want to maintain that these are real people then treat them as such and show a little respect for the shitty position your theology demanded of them.
