Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 27 2009,05:49)IMO it is shameful for a believer to condemn or degrade the scriptures which contain the only accurate knowledge they have of salvation.Hi Keith,Tsk!

But I suppose we've moved off the topic, huh? I think there is a thread already for questioning the bible. But questioning the voice of God directly relates, imo, to hearing the voice of God. Considering most Christians feel that they hear the “voice of God” through the scriptures.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2009,20:00)Hi WJ, Yes but many prefer a god not written of in the bible, a trinity god.Nick,You're acting like a crow, bro!!Keith,Wonderful post about all the facts of the bible and it's legit'ness.

Hi Tim,Quote You put all of your faith in a book that was written by superstitious tribesmen, and voted on by a bunch of men that were ordered to come up with the book under penalty of their kings whim..And…Quote Most of the Christian religion is not about God, it is about the bible. Many do not love God as much as they love the bible.Seems to…[Read more]

Tim,Just this afternoon I was praying the same thing, “Why did I study the bible for so long (hours and hours a day), only to come to this place of disbelief?”.  And again…..I heard nothing.I think I heard nothing because I did not fill in the blanks…….I appreciate your support, Tim.  It makes me feel less alone.  Even though I wish for us…[Read more]

Bro Gene, thank you for your words, and your prayers.Sure, I'll be patient some more.What choice do I have?Love,Mandy

Nick,Why didn't I think of that?Come on…..have you any idea how much the carpet to the alter is worn thin from my prayers!!

Yes, DK, the answer to our questions is always, “Trust Him….”.But I simply am having trouble trusting something that isn't there. Along with being somewhat child-like, I am also a realist.I believe there is a God. Because I want to.But that belief is just a passing idea with no real structure to it……for the bible tells me so……doesn't…[Read more]

Kathi,It's interesting to me (but not surprising) that you would call attention to verse 11……say, instead of verses 19 or 21.Yes, press on.Mandy

Sure, Keith. Whatever you feel is best.There are so many things that can be taken so many different ways…….I have decided it doesn't really matter what stand I take.I've got a 50/50 chance – same as everyone else here.Love,Mandy

Hi Keith,When you say that you are praying for me…..I really believe you!Thank you for that.Much love,Mandy

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2009,04:59)Hi,Jas1 5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect…[Read more]

Aw, bro Gene….I'm touched that you care so much for me.But I'm probably just a bad egg. I've really given it a good run, believe me. Since I was a very small child I have trusted that God is. I have worshiped him as a Trinity, I have worshiped him as One (the Father). I have been baptised, spoke in tounges, I have fasted, I have tithed, I…[Read more]

Thanks, Marty.As I have said before, if there is anyone who demonstrates the love of Christ….it is you.God bless ya bro,Mandy
