Richard, Hi.. I am not usually one to ever preach on here... to me that makes me want to vomit right on myself...
I actually went to a program for a few years where we learned a lot about the bible.. I still can't figure the bible out and I don't understand a lot of the scriptures especially about healing...... but I still believe that the bible is accurate.. I just think our understanding of it is not.
I don't blame you for not having any faith in God.. especially if you haven't had any personal experience with him.....
I never ever believed in God because growing up my life really sucked, as did almost everyone's to some degree.... so you can imagine that one day when my life was at it's lowest and I mean the lowest... someone told me that there was a God who loved me and I laughed at them.. I told them screw god if he does love me, what kind of "god" would let those things happen to me etc etc etc...
Anyway, I don't know how to explain it but this person said to me, "Fine if you don't believe in God then do me one favor, ask God to show himself to you if he is real.." I thought they were nuts... like what was he going to do.. show up in my mirror or something.. Really I was skeptical.... but what did I have to lose really?
So fine I asked God to show himself to me if he was real.... I kid you not.. I swear on my life.. the oddest things kept happening.and as much as I tried to chalk it off to just freaky, slowly over time I couldn't deny it..... So while I don't understand the bible that well, or even half well, or even a little bit... I do know for me that God showed himself to me in ways I couldn't deny....
Please forgive me if I sound preachy... I am not trying to convert anyone or make a believer out of anyone... Not my job.. just telling you I was in your shoes and what happend to me while I was there...
