i am not here to try and convert you
Then why did you start this post.
Sorry BnB, but it's quite sad (and yes, bloody annoying as well) to watch you give up the ability to think and reason for yourself, and we are wasting our time (as you are with us) in trying to get you to see sense. You manage to read the Bible, and yet refuse to see the contradictions in it. You
know that God wrote the Bible, and yet can't see that a loving God wouldn't write most of the instructions to beat your slave, and kill the unbelievers, and all the other bits that were obviously written by mere men with petty attitudes. You blindly manage to automatically quote the scriptures, without thinking about what they are truly saying.
What you fail to understand, is that God loves you, but sees you as a small tiny pathetic little thing that has to do stupid things before you can realise the right way to live and behave, and that's what life and experience is all about. It's not a one chance game of win or lose the chance of getting in to heaven, it's about coming back time and time again, till you've experienced all the different lives that you can, and so have learnt to be a better person, to be able to walk in another shoes, and understand their viewpoint, to learn to be tolerant of the differences in the way that they live their life.
Jesus didn't come to save you, he came to show you a better way to live; and if he died to pay for peoples sins, what about all the sins that have been committed since them - maybe he needs to come back and do the cross bit again. For Jesus to do that, he would have taken away personal responsibility from every sinner, and that's not what this game of life is all about.
But we're not going to change, and neither are you, so again I ask, what are you doing on this site obviously pushing your ideas when no one asked you to do so.
And please have to courtesy to use the spell checker to correct your spelling mistakes.
