It depends what you want to believe in... Christianity has become so fragmented. The religion, at man's behest, wants you to believe all sorts of things man has self-determined. Jesus, on the other hand, made it clear we were to first seek the Kingdom. That found and you will understand. And He said one thing we were to do besides the two commandments... spread His only gospel, the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus chastised the priests of the day for keeping it from the people and the same has carried on until today. Clear up the clutter you have been taught, and what to believe and how to act, will become clear. Don't let the clutter pushers dissuade you. Its all about the Father and His Kingdom, NOT the world of man. It's not just about us, but about His battle with adversity since the beginning of creation, first in His realm, then here. Seek the big picture.
