Not to convince but to rethink prior assumptions

1. Read job 1:6-12 I assume you are talking about prayer with your metaphore? 2. How do you get a grapefruit? That is just as rediculous as an apple. (If it is some type of brain specific food, Surely it would be tumeric or cumin or something like that) 3. A virgin birth? I am a believer but that is borderline insanity. . . Think about it. . . He is not the only one who came back to life, Which gives his sacrifice some extra accountability but a virgin birth? Who is next to spontaneously appear. . . This is part of the reason why this stuff is such nonsense to a lot of people. How fear does it to just blindly accept something like that? 4. Remember satan is the great deceiver. . . You can't deny the fact that there is pain & suffering in this world. We do this to ourselves and then blame God for our existance. . . I am a father of one son whom was not planed and both his mum & I love him very much, As do most parents! Religion gathered us once upon a time where we could learn about God and now it is one of the many things that divide us. What parent on this planet births a child out into this world and demands worship? Respect and understanding sure but worship? For what? Why does God expect worship? I will tell you why, Because satan wants every one to share his hatred! He hates that we are more respected and admired then what he was and wants us to be just as much as a failure as what he was. Satan was made with a seal of perfection and that beauty deceived him into thinking that he was too good to fail and therefore deserves the right to sit on God's throne. His pride was what made him fall. . . Now we have these religious fanatics who are convinced that they have been granted access into heaven because they have repented. What is your take on the holy spirit? Ezekiel 28 2 corinthians 11 5. Wealth back then had far more power then what it does now. The power that governments have now was available to wealthy enough induviduals. Who paid the roman soldiers paid the trades people whom built their objects. There was not as many people back then & neither was the knowledge that we know today. There were a few induviduals wealthy enough to be educated and they became witty enough to know that not everyone can have what they have got. Hence the secret knowledge. When Jesus started shareing the knowledge around they could see that their power over the people would be challanged and so they had to make an example of Jesus. It was that act that gave them up (The people could reason that they didn't deserve the power that the elites of that time had) pharacies were people who claimed a beliefe of God but handled in a way in which they would prosper. Sadicies were people who had no beliefe in God at all (what we call atheists today) but they died out shortly after jesus reserection because the truth was that profound. However a ruler of the roman empire named calligula came forth about 100 years after that (I can't connect it but I has always stood out to me) 6. There is a part in the bible where it says (I don't know where) God handles the universe in the span of his hand. I believe that is a mistranslation which is more so ment to sound like this: God handles the span of the universe. Both mean God is in control of the universe but implies that the universe is held in his hand. . . Does that help clarify it anymore? God is love and it also claims Jesus dwels within God & God dwels within him, Who ever lives in love lives in lives in God. . . . That is not as supper natrual as it may at first seem to be. Love is something that is expressed outwardly that comes from within us, It is of paramount in our life. Original love was between parents and a child, Not between man and woman because they would of had to of been babies first, Correct?
