Bible written by different writers at different times for different people

Gee would that be trying to prove a negative? How about a fire? duh.

This answer is non sequitir. The black scorched rock is there - there is no negative - it is a positive. Where did the fire come from at elevations 10-13,000 feet or more that would account for charred rock covering the entire top if the mountain? It would take extreme heat to melt the out layer of granite (it is granite). Duh yourself.

I like your post.

You’re trying to UNDERSTAND the teachings instead of accepting everything with blind faith. It’s my belief that God WANTS us to try to understand Him. That’s why He gave us rational thought.

I’m going through the same process as you, maybe. I don’t attend church right now because I feel a need to study and understand (as best I can) the writings from my own perspective. Sometimes I come up with something I think is totally profound and then come to find that it’s been talked about to death in theological circles. It used to bum me out but now I get a kick out of it. It means I’m asking questions worthy of discussion. So are you, keep asking them. Don’t just take my word for it though. I can think of a pretty cool cat who believed just as I do.

“Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.”
— Thomas Jefferson

Those who disapprove of your post would do well to read this:

“But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” -Thomas Jefferson
