Stop calling me an atheist after I clearly just said that I'm not questioning the existence of god. I'd also like to point out how you infer that those who have different views/opinions/beliefs than you (you call them atheists) somehow lack the ability to understand the scripture you quoted in bold. This is a perfect example of vain, arrogant, un-Christian behavior. "Oh yes, I've figured it all out and its just beyond the understanding of any of those that disagree with me."
The best part, though, was when you completely failed to address my question regarding the purity of the content in the bible by quoting a verse from it that just basically says "all of this is from god." Do you not see the problem with that logic?
how do you claim to be a christian, but dont believe Gods word? you dont believe what God is capable of? so are you questioning Gods power?
let me tell you like this-
God is in complete control over your life. even when you make mistakes, He is right there still working on your life. you cant breath without Him. your breath lies in the palm of His hand. thats why every breath you take is a blessing because life is not promised.
ok, so He is in complete control of your life, and what life presents to you, the opportunities that arise, the job you got, the money you make, the people who help you, the strings that were pulled behind the scenes that set up everything that your life is now, God worked and set up everything about your life. without God, there is no order. there is nothing but order. i have seen how He worked in my life. His blessings are real. His avenues He makes are real. He makes something out of NOTHING. Praise God. i experienced it myself. i can testify as a witness, God is capable and does great things.
but look, I am not the only life He controls, YOU are not the only life He is in control of.. there are about 7-8 BILLION people in this world...
lets talk about multi-tasking real quick.
how much can you do at the same time and do a thorough job doing? you cant efficiently to the best of your ability do 2 things at 1 time. this is a fact. we are not capable of even multi-tasking effectively. i mean we can, but its not the best of our ability to multi-task. the tasks are not done in a thorough fashion.
but God is in control over 7-8 BILLION lives at the SAME TIME. constantly working. never sleeping. knows everything thats going on every moment of every day... thats a very powerful God. but it dont stop there.
-the earth is 3,959 miles in radius. or 196.9 million square miles.
-the sun is 864,400 miles across.. in other words, 1,300,000 earths can fit in the sun.
-the largest star known to man is called the "Pistol Star".. it is 100 times as big as the sun and 10,000,000 times as bright.
-theres approximately 50 BILLION stars in our galaxy alone.
-there is an estimated HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of galaxies in the universe..
not only did GOD MAKE ALL OF THIS, but He knows EVERY star / planet by name. let that sink in for a minute...
God is the creator of ALL of this.. He is in control of ALL of this.. now tell me why you dont believe miracles performed? do you realize how little those miracles are that you dont believe? if you dont believe those miracles, then you really dont know God and you can not claim to be a christian if you dont even know who you claim as a faith, as a savior. you dont believe Him, therefore, you dont claim Him.
whats impossible to you, is done by a spoken word by God. what a mighty God He is. you should really get to know Him.
