Seems odd, though, that he would think of this, when it was over (that reminds me, I need to get back into my exercise program!), as a test or a lesson of some kind from God. Even during his time as an "atheist", he prayed and pleaded with God. And if the lesson he had to learn was that he couldn't have faith unless God gave it to him, what does that say about people who don't have faith? To me, it says either God chooses not to bestow faith upon them (certain ones, as He sees fit -- His ways are not our ways, etc.), or they, for whatever reason, choose to say "No, thanks". There doesn't seem to be any allowance for us working out for ourselves what to believe. Weird.
Now, I'm heading over to the treadmill. I'll let you know if the extra blood flow triggers a return to faith.  |
Sorry I missed the activity on this thread...I was on a nice long vacation.
I had lunch with a friend right before I left (she is the only friend I have that is still Apostolic), and as I updated her as to my situation with my boyfriend, and told her that I had spent a lot of time praying about our relationship, and about specific prayers I felt God had answered.
She responded that God didn't answer those prayers, it was satan. Thoughts?
