MSC290: okay, sorry for delay in responding to your post.
Here is the best way I can summarize what I believe in, and I sure would like to know what your thoughts are as well. In other words, where does MSC go when he dies, if anywhere,
anyway:
No one is sure about anything. The universe and galaxy offer too much information, some can be explored in detail, some on the peripheral, and most we will never understand.
It just so happens, that I believe in my heart that Jesus, the Christ, existed. That he is who he says he is, and that
he was crucified, died and was buried, and awakened from the dead.......and later ascended into heaven.
I have put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and His free gift of Grace has been bestowed upon me....I have been saved, and am a new creation In Christ.
With that being said, my faith, believing in what is unseen, still tells me that I am right, for, "without Faith it is impossible to please God, for everyone who believes in Him must believe that He exists, and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him."
On a strictly scientific level, clinical, methodical, with reason and one's analytical thought, in my opinion there is
evidence of God's creation, and how the Bible depicts things.
Now, you obviously know a lot, and have much information that appears to debunk some of Christianity. That is fine, but does not and will not dissuade me from my faith.
Anyone that has Faith in Christ must be willing to believe in the unseen. Those without Faith, no Proof is Sufficient.
So, the bottom line is, we have a stalemate, and though God can use me or someone else to transform you and save you by the washing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ultimately God is responsible for your salvation.
So, I totally respect what you think, and what you say. I hope in return, you do the same to me as well.
Warmest Regards
Briboy
