Stcgg: thanks for your post

I do agree, much about Jesus is a mystery and requires Faith,
believing what one cannot see,

it's not always easy. I suppose, from a logical standpoint, if I am wrong, then I will be nothing but a dead body deep sixed after my demise.

Again, on the flip side of the logic standpoint, if Jesus did exist, and I believe he did, he did say "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except though me." John 14:6.

Now, the great thing is, He gave us free Will, so we have the choice, to:

1. Accept Jesus(By His Grace and Mercy,Gift of God Eph 2:8-9)
2. Reject Him

To me, from a logic standpoint, either Jesus is who he says he is, or he is a complete lunatic.

We have free will, and I appreciate your honesty, it comes down to that,

regards

Stcgg, just wanted to welcome you to our board.

I know sometimes we (Christians)come off abrasive and not really logical but i would like to continue discussions in a orderly and manner.

We can all reason together. We as Christians are constantly attacked for our faith, please understand why we are so definitive of our beliefs. So please excuse us for being in defense mode.

You see we are "FAITH" people. Logic doesn't really play a part in what we believe. Logic is based off of perception and perception changes all the time.

We are not weak minded zombies following a bunch of Laws but we are a people who seek a relationship with our creator. Jesus is the "bridge" in that gap.

It's one of those things you just have to experience to understand. You can't explain to someone what it's like to do LSD so that they understand what effect it has on a person. Jesus is like that, You have to experience Him to understand.

We are all (Jesus) Junkies....
Unless you are one too, we are a very peculiar people.

I would like to talk to you about being "Born Again" soon.
I think you would find it interesting to say the least.

I hope you hang around.
