Back to put up another small post in this topic which I find to be of high intellectual quality. Anyway, yeah, Boss Reo if you ask me has the general idea. As for the Bible, it's got its up and its downs as do the rest of all religions and religiously assocaited things. Things I know I believe and have straightened out:
1. God exists and rules.
2. Jesus did die for our sins. ( I'll talk about this in a moment).
3. As Boss Reo said, God and Jesus love us and its all about the forgiveness thing.
4. What Reo said.
Back to number two. I've been thinking about that one for a while. I know God is all knowing and so is Jesus and that they can probably see what's gonna happen to us and all. BUT, You're telling me that Jesus died for our sins 2000 years ago despite the fact that we didn't exist back then? That part confuses me. Yes he died for sins, as for whos sins, if you ask me, it was the sins of the guys back then. As for us, well, I'm trying to figure that out. Maybe someone can attempt to clarify. Also, who's to say that God hasn't decided that he wants to be creative and gone off to far corner of universe and created other intellegent beings and then you visits once in a while to see what we've done with all the gifts he's given us and he's probably not to pleased with what we done so far and then he goes back. You know how scientists say that the sun has like 4 or was 6 billion years left on it before it explodes. What if it is just one big cycle to see which generation of human beings makes it the farthest before being destroyed and God restarting the whole process? Anyway, so yeah, anyone else got some stuff they wanna share. This is only like, one cent of my two cents worth.
