Thank you Mathew. I will read about King David and the prophet Nathan!

I must apologize. I am going to be out of town for a week for a work function and doubt I will l have much access to a computer. It sounds strange in this day in age but I will be assisting in a project at a reclaimed warehouse and I may be wrong but I think the facilities are going to be pretty...

I care. I am not a know it all in any sense of the word and interested in your thoughts. Even if we disagree on some points. I was blogging over a work break so I will have to read your response in detail later but I appreciate you taking the time and sharing your thoughts.

I cannot speak to the caliber of the churches you attended. The debates over scriptural interpretation are endless but in most cases healthy in my opinion. But I have to question your interpretation which I see as based off semantics. Your example: "God is not a man that he can lie, nor the son...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. My intent, as you may surmise by my screen name, is that I question my own place in salvation. I am not questioning the existence of God. I have been frustrated by the bars on cage in which I live. So I ask the question, is believing enough. And if it...

Come on, you are smarter than these trolls. They are ignorant and angry and regurgitating nonsense they themselves don't understand. You are not like them. You are not here to spit on people. You are smart and imaginative. You are a seeker not totally unlike myself. There are really two big...

But I'm the chaff and I'm saying this isn't fair! If I'm dead in sin how can I be responsible for my own salvation when I can do no good? And life is a super lucid dream simulation!? Wow, now that is the thinking of a video game generation! Can I restart this level? I want to change my...

I am a sci-fi addict so I can't help but be drawn into the conversation. A dimension is not a place, such as a parallel universe. Those are theatrical devices. A dimension is anything that is measurable. For example the first three dimensions are defined as being length, width, height, and the...

So you are saying you have doubts ;). What would it take to convince you otherwise? What would count as proof? Would a change in your character constitute evidence of a spiritual event or would it take something else? Would statistical evidence, like the statistical impossibility of auto...

This is unlikely. Scientist don't view this as a valid scientific endeavor. Scientists spend their time working on scientific projects. They are not in any way in the religion business. You criticized others for throwing out nonsensical facts but the notion that science is some how providing...

You have said a lot. And I appreciate it. My point of view, and my questions, aren't coming from that of one trying to expose the failings of scripture. I am one, who like so many others, questions my faith due to my own experiences and failures. Another poster who is admittedly atheist said "I...

Thank you for revealing your own struggles. And thank you for these hope filled words.

Hi Pleinmont, Please expand on why you think that. Thank you

Hi Hazelponi, thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I am grateful for the time and energy you put into this. This is what I still don't understand. Imagine this scenario, a person knows they are messed up. Lets just suppose they are an alcoholic. They pray passionately, earnestly...

Thank you Paul. Thank you for sharing these words. I get what you say but there is a piece I don't get. If I am dead in sin and pray for forgiveness then the promise is that there will be no condemnation, the Holy Spirit will dwell in me, and my heart will be changed. However, if someone is not...

Thank you DT.

Yes, absolutely. Thank you LL.

Crazy comments come from all directions and science and religion do not stand in opposition to each other. They attempt to address different questions and neither is mutually exclusive of the other. Thank you for answering my question. I value opinions from all perspectives. I myself...

You sound a little stressed out Jason. Are you okay? Is everything alright? Take a deep breath, relax, think for a moment. Now, what exactly is bothering you?

Hi again Paul, Really enjoying your posts. For some reason Lots wife came to my mind as I read this. She was being lead away from Sodom by rescuing angels and was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back. That's pretty hard core. Then look at King David. And I, for one, should have been...
