I think more about my life and my current direction. So, I might ask God, assuming I am mentally coherent when I see Him, what sort of direction I should go in next... Is there a serious mistake I need to be sure to avoid in the next year? I think I would also beg Him to make me the person I want to be... or the person He wants me to be... just zap or change me, you know?

I don't think that's such a good way to be -- kinda makes me think of brainwashing or cultishness. . some people learn by questioning. <BR/><BR/>I think that people who choose to be Christians and have been on that road for a while, they face the danger of losing touch with what its like not to believe all of this. Let's face it, without having faith to believe it all, doesn't it even seem preposterous? crazy even, to those who haven't accepted it?<BR/><BR/>Even though I made a decision to love God as a young child. . i really wandered far and kinda turned my back on the whole thing, God, church, rules. . . for a lot of years. <BR/><BR/>I remember thinking "What if this is all made up? What if its all a lie and there is no God or devil? no heaven or hell? What if this is all just some elaborate story? forbidden fruit, adam and eve, satan, God, life after death, hell. . what is all that about anyway?" I did think that. I questioned it. I settled into life and just didn't think about all that. . long story of how my heart changed. . but i guess its kinda like the Grinch 'who's heart grew 3 sizes that day. . ' yeah, it was pretty much that kind of deal. <BR/><BR/>I think Christians forget that they too once hadn't made up their minds. They can begin to become narrowed in mind and cut off from those around them who haven't decided, or who have decided not to believe in God. I haven't forgotten though. . so I hope that i would not ever be narrow or insufferable, out of touch. .kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1124839356340279202005-08-23T19:22:00.000-04:002005-08-23T19:22:00.000-04:00If your "God" showed up on your doorstep - and I p...If your "God" showed up on your doorstep - and I put that in quotes because I think "God" is a personal belief thing - I think you dang well better have some questions! Surely no one should read the bible, or any book for that matter, without questioning a single word in it. I think it's meant to be questioned. I bet "God" would be disappointed that you didn't use your brain if you didn't have any questions.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081234423925258918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1124838434714323982005-08-23T19:07:00.000-04:002005-08-23T19:07:00.000-04:00In reality...

I want to know IF he actually does anything in the world or if he just set the world in motion and let it be. <BR/><BR/>I would ask him if there is such a thing as the holy spirit.<BR/><BR/>I would ask him of course about evil. Where did it come from? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I would ask him whether he is in fact good. And if he is good, is he only good, or is he also evil?<BR/><BR/>I would ask him of course what happens at the end of life.<BR/><BR/>I would ask him about Jesus. Was / Is Jesus the son of God and is he God incarnate? <BR/><BR/>I would ask him whether the Aposle Paul got any of his theology right.<BR/><BR/>I would ask him if he cries... and if so, what makes him cry.<BR/><BR/>Most importantly... I would ask him to bless me indeed and expand my territory! :PKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923123962616601098noreply@blogger.com
