there is nothing about christianity that makes any sense at all to me. i was raised to believe it and did till i was about 12 In honestness there's a lot of stuff in this world I don't understand therefore it doesn't make sense to me, but it doesn't change that it's real. I can't grasp the idea how I can set here in my living room typing on a smart phone and in less than 5 minutes someone on the other side of the world can be reading my thoughts, and this is happening millions of times a second in this world maybe billions. I think there's two reasons most turn their back to God the first is they just don't want rules restricting what they want to do, and second they have suffered a pain in their lives that causes them to be angry with God and therefore chose to end the relationship. The more I study God's words the more amazed at how logical it is and how much truth is in it. Especially about the heart and mind of human beings. And to think it was all written by what we believe were "primitive" people only points me more towards God. We have to study things to understand them. One last thought miracles are called miracles because they defy natural law. And a God that could create this whole world would have no struggle doing what we call miracles.

The Bible was revealed for us to know God. Divinely Inspired and inerrant in its original writings. The section from the Apostle Paul's letter to believers in Corinth is illuminating for believers and not so for others; For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom.
Not too much has really changed in humans in 2000 years. Folks still wanting miracles and folks still seek wisdom to figure faith out. We're told it doesn't operate that way. Side note: Scribes in this recorded era were......... Attorneys Blessings, Mark

Stop being sacreligious-Read my bible Inside and out.Since it was presented to me at my holy Confirmation.So I take it you have not been baptized?Since you seem to flippantly denigrate the sacraments?Or did you proddys only decide to keep some of the seven sacraments that suited you? And I bet my bible is bigger than yours.

Talk about extra Biblical. How about the last two lines the Protestants added to the Our Father?

My religious beliefs and my medical opinions are not interconnected. No minister has guided me on medical decisions. It is not his job. I have a trusted medical team.
This virus is not God's work. Knowledge of how to defeat it is what God has given us. God loves us. Do not fear His love. Do not assume He is sending us diseases. God did not send it. It was man made in a lab. BUT he did give whomever made it the power and knowledge to do it !!! One and the same

Well glad you are not anti God. Don't know a whole lot about Irish culture but my bible teaches to preach the Gospel at every chance. Some do not have the gift of preaching or teaching so again no offense meant. Now that I know you are not opposed to Christ I like you a bit more. LLL

We can disagree on some things, but there’s no need for personal attacks. I was enjoying the conversation on the Mark, but I think that ship sank. How does one contend for the faith without stepping on someone's toes? We're commanded to contend for the faith. Making someone uncomfortable by telling them they're wrong or applying the truth isn't a personal attack.

Prayer is our on demand 24 hour hotline call that goes directly to the Creator of the Universe. Not only does He hear it; He FEELS it. Not a doubt in my mind, that he not only hears our prayers, but feels them.

Making someone uncomfortable by telling them they're wrong or applying the truth isn't a personal attack. Attacking someone's argument or belief is far different from attacking them personally. Personal attacks only discredit yourself, and perhaps more importantly to you, your faith. Jim

People who resort to namecalling when they cant win an argument says a lot about them. Myself I call them names right off the bat.
