My faith isn’t blind. It’s supported by Scripture which includes many witnesses. The odds of the fulfillment of the Old Testament Prophecies by one man, Jesus Christ, is something like 1 in 100 Quintillion. Much of the Old Testament & Prophecies were written 1,000 years before Christ came.
Actually, it’s the non-believers in Jesus Christ that are stuck in a mire of hopelessness. When you try to share the Gospel, most really have no idea what it truly is about. They just stuck their fingers in their ears and hurl angry muck. But that’s ok. God is in charge of eternity….not Barrack Obama. It’s sad so many of you are so angry about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and deny God.
Frankly, from a statistical and scientific standpoint, I don’t see how you can justify it. Only from an emotional standpoint…which means nothing, right?
We all have free choice. I’m not telling you what to believe. But I know what works for me..and it’s not BLIND FAITH deathfrogg. Far from it. Did you ever consider you are living in Blind UnBelief? I respect folks who have studied Scripture with an open heart and mind..and still choose to reject it. That involves years & years of study…and I have only met a couple people that I believe sincerely studied and came to the conclusion that God MAY NOT exist. You can lie & pretend you have studied Scripture & worshipped with others etc.etc.. You can point to self-proclaimed Christians who constantly fail & fall short of the mark. But that shows you simply do not understand the Gospel. We are not perfect. God is. Christ paid the price so we can have a relationship with Him. The Gospel isn’t that complex at all. But faith frees you from both Fear & Doubt as we struggle with things of the world and this earthly life.
I don’t understand how people can do that without Christ. It’s not about EARNING your way with acts…it’s about faith. But it’s not BLIND FAITH deathfrogg..at least not for me. It’s a constant deeper understanding and relationship with Christ thru being in The Word daily, prayer, fellowship with other believers. That doesn’t mean I don’t have troubles, problems etc…it doesn’t guarantee an easy life. In some ways, it is more difficult. But it’s also freeing…from our sinful nature & sins and the doubt, fear & guilt that go along with that. It’s not a free ticket to sin either. I’ve heard that misstatement too, many times.
If you believe God is our Creator and Father, and if you believe He sacrificed his only Son on that Cross so we could have a relationship with Him…why would you intentionally hurt Him? He gave us just enough Historical Record in the Old Testament and The Gospel in the new to get by in this short, short life. You non-believers really think that 80 years or so on this planet which also has a finite lifespan is all there is??? Wow, lots of self-importance. So who is really the shallow thinker?
