We cant begin to understand what God is doing unless we believe He exists in the first place. When that is established as a certain fact, we can then start to figure out what He may be doing in this messed up world.
I agree. There is something in me that allows me to do that.
"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory": Colossians 1:27
The guilty party is God, but Jesus didn't stay dead. Jesus couldn't die unless God allowed it to happen. But God raised Him from the dead and He is alive, do you know that?

"Who killed **** Robin?" "I," said the Sparrow,
"With my bow and arrow, I killed **** Robin."
"Who saw him die?" "I," said the Fly,
"With my little eye, I saw him die."
"Who caught his blood?" "I," said the Fish,

All questions about God must be answered with His existence being a fact first of all. With that settled our minds are free to explore the many possibilities. Since I know God exist and a little bit about His many attributes, I can draw some conclusions as to why. Omniscience, He is all...
I will glory in the cross because Jesus suffered the cross for me. The symbol of the cross isnt something I wear around my neck, but it is a wonderful reminder to me of how much God loves us and the cost of our salvation. I have no problem understanding what it represents when I see someone...

If Jesus truly is the son of God that statement is true. Why do you suppose God would allow such a...
No one could kill Jesus, he lay down his life of his own free will. He lay it down knowing that he would take it up again. He's not dead, he is alive. I like saying it that way better.
Yes I understand what you are saying. But some of us were able to realize that faith in God is far different than childish belief in santa, easter bunny, leprechauns or the tooth fairy. We have experienced things in our lives that have convinced us that God is alive and knows us by name...
They all should have one thing in common; they all should have been taught about Jesus if they aren't Christian in name only. There is a wider range of people who believe in God. Religious beliefs vary widely. But choice of what to believe comes to most people at some point in life.
