This is for you, Lady. It’s Christianity in a nutshell. If nothing else comes out of it for you, you will certainly understand how Christians and how they think of you.

I a having a bit of a personal problem which has kept my up all night. Hard to make much sense of anything, so I ask that you and anyone else reading this post forgive I many errors.
Some of my words were unkind, Lady. I was wrong in doing that and sincrely apologize to you and ask your forgiveness. You certainly have the right to disagree and I should have cooled my redheaded hot-tempered self when Igot angry over what I perceived as words that were insulting to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit necause never in my life have I had a greater love than His love. In other words, my actions were un-Christlike, and I have a deep regret and have asked God’s forgiveness and now ask yours as well.
Lady, ever since this thread began I’ve been praying for you and I know that I’m not the only one. I can’t help but feel that He’s going to open your eyes and your heart. Praying not only that God reach your heart and you come to accept His wondrous love, but also that He bless with his good things. Once you come to a point where you want to accept Him, you are going to be amazed at how your life changes once your are given His Holy Spirit.
Finally, have you ever heard of Tim Keller? He’s superb in answering question from people who outright reject the Bible. Frjkerer. his ministry is aimed at the “intellectuals” and his material is great. I think I’ve watchede every vid of him on youtube. (SORRY. But it is very hard to type and just getting in a sentence is taking forever.) He and his lovely wife, Kathy, have their ministry in NY and were blown away by how many began attending service. If I recall correclt, he now preaches at several places on Sunday and his ministry reaches out to people just like you. If you would like, I can search our some vids for you.
BUT, the one who really blows me away is Chuck Missler. Some may disagree, and that’s fine, but Missler opens up the Bible like no one else I’ve ever heard. If you ever get a chance and want to see the Supreme Intellect, sit back with a cup of coffee (or beverage of choie) and listen to one of his “Beyond...” vids. You will be shocked like never before.
For the rest of you , would you please say a little prayer for me for release from pain. ... and I wouldn’t mind at all if you asked for it to go away forever. ;-) Also, please have a looksee at the vid if you have time.
Worn to the bone from it at this point and have taken enough hard meds to kill an elephant. So, I know this post is going be rough reading. Even proofing it myself is beyong me at this point,
Warm regards,
SC
Sorry, you three. I meant to ping you to the post. Rough goingfor me at the moment.
Wish you all wonderful and beautiful weekend.

It’s very kind of you to apologize. I want to make it clear that I don’t think Jesus was a bad person. I don’t think he was sent by a loving God on a mission of mercy, but I don’t think he was anything particularly negative. As I said before, I suppose I’d compare him to William Wallace: a man who wanted to free his country from foreign rule. (Now I confess, I think Paul was a nutcase.) But it really is just my opinion. I read the Bible like I’d read an Agatha Christie book, searching for whodunit. That’s all.
