"Most people like to take the word for what it really says when it fits their doctrine or re-interpret the word if it contradicts their doictrine."
I couldn't agree more.
That's why there are so many different kinds of translations. I trust only one from which they all are derived: the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek and Aramaic New Testament. Gone are the days when I will let someone else tell me what to believe. From now on I find answers on my own, and truly "test" the spirits by their fruit.
"You seem to forget that with God, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). If my God could create everything from nothing, how hard is it for Him to know what life is?."
This is another topic altogether which we may start if you still wonder after you are done reading this. You are wrong in stating the nothing is impossible for God. Sin is impossible for God, lying is impossible for God, not existing is impossible for God. Obviously these too are also truths, thus it must be reconciled with the scripture you quote. And it's easily reconciled when you read the scripture: nothing that God "has promised, is impossible." - and we can believe in God's promises just as sure as he can not lie, which it is impossible for Him to do.
"You are questioning God's power my friend."
I will question this doctrine of who God is because I read the bible says different. I only come with two assumptions when reading the bible. Anything above these two assumptions are simply from man. The two assumptions are:
1. That God exists.
2. That the bible is true.
Anything beyond these two introduces the wisdom of man. My bible says that what I see, God can not do certain things. He could not redeem us and maintain our free will if the concequence of eternal death for sin was paid for by the wave of a magic hand. No, an eternal God had to pay an eternal debt for us.
"As I sid earlier, Jesus laid down his life for friends. God sent His only begotten son to die for His enemies. Isn't that greater love?"
Is it greater love to send your son, or for you to die personally? If you can pay the debt without making someone else do it, but you don't and instead you let that other person do it, then to me that shows negligence on your part, and negligence definatly is a lack of greater love. But I don't see why you are questioning this when Jesus himself outlined what is the greater love: one dying for his friends. Jesus never said it was greater love for one to send their son to die for his friends. That certainly is a cheap way out. If this is true, then God didn't save me at all. Some created puppet did.
"God is "Lord" of the Israelites whom He led out of Egypt. Jesus is the Christians' only "Lord." (1 cor. 8:6)"
Jesus is an Israelite. Jesus is Lord of all, no matter if you are a Christian or not. A lord is your master. My master is Jesus. My master is God.
