OH... ok... thank you. You did misread me.
I was expanding upon what you said about grace based salvation being more fair than works based salvation. You were absolutely correct in this assessment. God IS just and perfectly fair... but man cannot see this truth because of his pride in self accomplishment. It goes back to us needing to recognize that we cannot live up to God's standard. Our only hope is in Jesus who paid the price for our sin in our stead.

Yes... reasoning and logic can only take us so far.
It is now time for you to take that leap of faith.

I appreciate your caring. I can tell you have very strong faith - like I was saying before, it is always a surprise to me when people profess strong faith in something, but then don't attempt to lead others to it. Those with truly strong faith will attempt to lead everyone they can to what they have found. However, taking a leap of faith does not mean forcing oneself to believe in something. There has to be something on the other side that lets you know your faith is correct. I have found that in different ways, in other aspects of spirtuality, but not in the way you speak. What else can one do? People find faith in different things for different reasons....
