i can't just accept things. i have such a hard time with it. i always have to rationalize things within my own mind. i have to make God fit into my version of the universe. this is my problem, and i know it.
i believe in evolution, i believe the world is 13.6 trillion years old, i think we came from monkeys, i think the Bible isn't the oldest written document, i don't think humans started living with Adam, i think some people are born gay, i don't think Noah could have taken every animal on the ark, i don't believe in things and this scares me. it's all right there in the Bible, and i'm ashamed, scared, and disheartened that i can't believe some things. can anyone guide me a little with this? i just don't know.
a lot of times i turn to 2 Timothy 3:16
"Beyond all question, the mystery of Godliness is great:
He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory."
that first part,
"...,the mystery of Godliness is great:..."
i guess is what we should worry about more than anything else.
but i still wonder.
