explain why the bible is wrong and contradicts itself.
Why I should not believe everything.
And etcetera.
I really enjoyed listening but it seemed like every question that was asked....
Well, it needed another question?
If that makes sense?
To me those questions require going through each situation that is spoken of and seeing the context behind it.
Was GOD defending or protecting his chosen people?
Was God the one ordering or did mankind freely kill?
...
I thought that my faith would be shaken.
BUT this man who is one of the smartest atheist out there could only present me questions.
I received no answers.
Just reasons as to why what I believed should not be believed.
But there was no real answer as to why I shouldn't believe God.
Why I shouldn't trust God.
Just a straight up nitpicking of the bible.
Which I can appreciate.
I guess...
All it really did was inspire me to pray.
And show me how important it is to really know why we believe what we believe.
Why what we believe is worth DIEING for.
I know, I know.
A bit morbid there CheChe.
But the Bible isn't a fairytale.
IT IS NOT WARM FUZZY FEELINGS.
People die.
Jesus was practically tortured.
There is war.
There is blood.
There is blood.
But it is the ultimate LOVE STORY of the bible that secures my heart.
That though we are a strayed people from the beginning.
GOD has a plan.
And part of that plan was to come to earth in human form.
To die a sinners death for His strayed children
SO that we may be granted access into His kingdom again.
That we may walk and talk and see CHRIST our king some day.
The talk (or rather Him talking without breathing and me listening and trying to chime in when possible)....
The talk ended with me very plainly saying all I could say before parting.
Me: Well, I have faith in God.
Him: Why have faith?
Him: Why have faith?
Me: Well? Why not have faith?
Him: NOW THAT IS THE QUESTION!
end scene.
At the end of the day I cannot change anyone.
I cannot make anyone love God.
Boy, that would be quite the scary world wouldn't it?
Imagine anyone who read my blog just accepting Christ as their savior immediately.
Scary.
But kinda an awesome picture in my world :).
But kinda an awesome picture in my world :).
Only GOD himself can pour out His spirit upon this dieing nation
and revive lost and broken hearts.
ONLY the God of heaven and earth can draw people in deeper.
Only God can break down walls that surround the hearts of those who don't know him.
Of those who proudly say they HATE HIM.
Only God...
Only GOD...
And praise Him for that.
Because if my job were to go out and prove GOD to everyone that would be a heavy burden to carry.
But we do have a calling.
To preach and speak the gospel to all nations tribes and tongues.
So my challenge for you is this.
Be Bold in what you have in Christ.
If you feel weak God will honor your boldness.
Speak His name proudly.
I know I want to and will more.
I want people to know the Love I have for God is my reason for being here still.
For not being a prostitute.
A druggie.
A woman of know value or worth.
I want people to know that I have hope in the unseen.
I want people to know that I have hope in the unseen.
I have faith that GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
And for me.
Well, Faith is enough.
Faith is enough.
Blessings to you all!
