You have first hand accounts of people seeing and touching Him eyeball to eyeball belly to belly,
and the New Testament is from God thru man, no errors, it happened just like it says. You can except it and receieve life or you can reject it and take a very hot bath for ever, and don't forget, your family will follow your lead, just make REAL sure you are right! Do you want that on your mind forever when its too late to go anything about it?

Please, its not as hard as you're making it, sometimes a brilliant mind can get in the way. :)

Bottom line is, why should I believe that these accounts are literally true?

You believe this on faith, Mack.

And the Muslims think both of us are going to hell.

If I need faith in Jesus in order to be saved, and I can only have this faith through God's grace, then I guess the Calvinists are right about predestination. If I need something that only God can give me, and if He chooses not to give it to me, then I am SOL.

But I don't believe in an eternal hell, because I believe this contradicts God's perfect justice.

Mack, if I could make myself have faith, I would do so, simply out of love for you as my friend. But I can't make myself believe. And to claim I believe when I don't would be hypocrisy.

So either God needs to give me faith, or I have to hope that you are wrong and either the non-fundamentalist Christians or I are right.
