I guess the same way people believe George Washington was our first president..we read about it. Then if we chose to accept the Bible as truth and Gods offer of salvation, then we feel it. Faith.
Question posed to me: "How do you know Jesus is such a nice guy if you've never met him?"
If you're saved, who says you've never met Him?

People go by what other people say and claim. But there isn't a eye witness that is still alive. So you read what is written and decide that way. Not a very strong way, huh? I've tried reading the bible a million times, I can only read a few pages before I have to close it. It needs to be written in a more clear manner. You have all these people saying that children will not go to hell, but you find all over the place in the bible. The bible isn't as clear as you think. But if you can believe everything you read, then go ahead. I just need some things clarified before I can accept everything that is in there. I believe in God and Jesus. I believe that they are both good. But there are things that make me uneasy. The sacrificing.
"Turn the other cheek"(when faced with confrontation present the other side of your face or walk away)
"He who is without sin may cast the first stone"(do not judge others for everyone is a sinner)
"Gather the little children unto Me" (one time when Jesus was at a gathering the adults were shooing the children away. I guess in part because sometimes we adults forget while we are all caught up in daily life stresses that children also need to hear the word of God. Children have worries of their own and they do matter.)
"If my right eye offends you pluck it out"(I do not mean to offend you, but if I do tell me so that I can rid myself of it)
"Love the sinner. Hate the sin"(all our God's children. It is our job to love not to hate. We can hate sin, but if it causes us to hate the sinner it contradicts the teaching)
"I am Jesus of Nazerth"(He did not take pride in being the Son of God)
"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do"(This one gets me everytime. His dying words. Love quateable to God-"for God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son)
And the 'haha' is there.......why again?
