Exactly. Or give us an inclination, or enough smarts and wisdom to figure out the puzzle. Whatever omni's he may have going, omni-competent isn't one of them.

Or maybe He really doesn't care about having everyone believe.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

If he doesn't care if I believe, and I've seen no reason to believe, then I'm perfectly fine not believing.

Right. Probably keeps it interesting to mix it up and have some pass while others fail the puzzle. Cunning.

Ok then if that's the case then I have only one thing to say.

Fuck God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ.

And Mary.  Fuck that slut too.  And that cuckold Joseph.  What a fucking loser he was!

Then that is your choice and no one asked you anyway.

Cool. Then we don't have a problem. No need to get angry, though. You posted on a public forum. Expect responses.

As a Christian trying to understand all the rules, I have examined some parts more thoroughly. Such as even though the NT allows Christians to eat previously banned food, blood is still forbidden to be consumed.

Funny....Most of the other christians here say that, once you give your will up to god, the bible makes perfect sense, with no contradictions.  You must be doing it wrong....
