Give me a chance... ha. Sheesh.
Not to discount your questions, but is this a current crisis you are in? I've read words from you in the past that propped you as just as much a fundamentalist stooge as I
So let me ask you then... what's your answer? What's your solution to this crisis here?
The question is not what I
don't know, it's what I
do know. This topic can't be handled universally, to be fair. If you want to discuss the existence of God, which I can't prove to you, but which he has proven to me, that's a place to start. If you want me to discuss the credibility of the Bible, we can do that as well. I'll admit some vulnerabilities in my position, and admit to even some holes, but at the end of the day there's enough evidence that leads me to believe. If we want to talk about Jesus and if he is who he claimed, that's a starting point (and a great one).
So... I will actually agree with you. I don't know! But I am persuaded, and persuaded by cognitive evidence, by my heart and soul and by empirical, existential means.
So... if you want to talk about Hell and it's validity in the scriptures, that's a GREAT discussion. But I kindly ask you to start a new thread for it. I'll chip in however I can. At the end of the day, I won't answer every lingering doubt. Neither will you or anyone else. We are all fellow men on a journey through this. I'm not afraid of your questions or doubt, because I have and had my own. But... I believe! Not with cognitive dissonance either. I fully believe in the most essential of cases. I am persuaded by others, and have doubt about others. There's room for us all. Imagine that. We don't have to have it all figured out.
