God hates me
@DianaC, You tell me. This same word "miseo" was also used in Matt 10:22, Mark 13:13, Luke 1:71, Luke 6:22, John 3:20 and the list goes on. The word "miseo" was translated in the NT 41 times as "hate" and 1 time as "hateful". Do you think that word means hate? I do. But maybe you're missing... -

God hates me

Its all so confusing
yes, you have to take the bible as a whole and not bits and pieces but it's hard to post the entire bible in a post :) I encourage anyone that reads these excerpts to read the surrounding passages.

Its all so confusing
On, Faith, Hebrews 11 is the best chapter to understand Faith. The point to understand about it though, is that these guys didn't just do it purely because they wanted to.

Its all so confusing
Robert, You are asking the right questions. I will forwarn you to my response as not all baptists (actually most) will not agree with it. However, I was in the same position you are and I considered myself a baptist but I turned to the Scripture and have learned a lot and would like to...
