[QUOTE="christopher morgan, post: 67509937, member: 376596"] Hannah, you are not alone with this one. We live now in the age of reason, science and advanced medicine, we have flown to the moon and driven a buggy on its surface, even this internet connection is amazing technology that I can write to you from Melbourne Australia. So then we read some stories 2000 years old about Jesus and what could that have to do with my mobile phone, facebook world today. So it is understandable we all may face doubts about Jesus and his miracles in particular. But the message that Jesus gave us about how to live is just as important today as ever. I think it is even more important in this materialistic, selfish world. As Christians we believe we are all God's children so that includes you. That is a given. But bringing our spirit alive in accordance with Our Lord's teachings is the real worry in this modern world. And I have that challenge as much as you. And I feel at times when I have done something against Our Lord's teachings that I am separating myself from God not that God is moving away from me. He is still right there with love for me waiting for me to apologise and get back to work growing spiritually. You don't have to be torn between full belief in the teachings or having no belief. You are a living human being every day of your life.The teachings simply give us the spiritual way to live our physical life to reach heaven. Anyone can do it. When you see a person fall over in the street and you help them up you are a spiritual follower of Jesus in practice.
