Would Jesus Eat GM Food?

[Hugh Jorgan]

You know what the really interesting part is? He did all that, endured the mocking, the pain, the crown of thorns, the rejection, the cross, the whole thing, for what?

For us, you and I, so that we could spend eternity in joy with Him.



Wow.

Yeah, UNBELIEVABLE.

Yeah, UNBELIEVABLE.

What an individual finds believable, or not, doesn't really correlate with what is or isn't true.

One can say "UNBELIEVABLE" about the theory of evolution, the big bang theory, and of every belief system one can name. And in every case, one would be wrong, as evidenced by the millions of people who do believe in evolution, the big bang, Islam, Hinduism, and a few things even more far fetched and "unbelievable" to the western mind.

The fact that I find the big bang theory to require a far greater leap of faith than believing in a Creator, doesn't in and of itself invalidate the theory, nor does your inability (or unwillingness?) to believe in the deity of Jesus of Nazareth invalidate my beliefs about Him, nor does either one really speak to the truth of the big bang theory, or Jesus' claims to divinity.

But, to millions of people, throughout history and across the plenet, Christianity is emminently believable, and far more convincing than any alternative.

I'd say that depends on the individual.

Funny how much that applies to politics as well.

Wait a minute. I'm getting confused here. Didn't you just post somewhere else that I'm going to hell?

So which is it? Am I burning, or spending eternity with Timebuilder and the Big Man upstairs?

(fingers crossed for the latter)

Hey, that's a very good question!

The sacrifice is an offer of a gift, the free gift of salvation.

It must first be accepted by the recipient to be in force.

Thanks for helping to clarify that.





(although I kind of get the feeling that you didn't mean to help...)

Well, it wasn't quite as funny as Odd Todd, and the best part was the attempt to recreate Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells theme at the end.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
