I have started blogging and have some o learn but I have such a passion to write (believe God mandated that for my life), that it is all I do from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. Nuff bout me.<br /><br />I agree with you. Who can look at a sunrise, a snow capped mountain, a brook while deer drink there, a new born baby and then in the same breathe, denounce the existence of God. It's beyond me. So I agree with you.<br /><br />I also agree with you about love. I have taught, like yourself, that without choice, you render love meaningless.<br /><br />If we don't lead people to Christ, then the enemy will lead them to Satan. Since the beginning of Christianity, the only time when we get in trouble is when we say that Christ is the ONLY WAY to heaven. Now it's the truth but it is when we get in trouble. (I'm not saying that you said that, it is just a blanket statement about Christianity. I've been a believer most of my life.<br /><br />You can check out my blog at jameslindquistswritng.blogspot.com<br /><br />GBY brother<br /><br />JimJames Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608122989130160872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125282466232202973.post-13155391567715733412009-05-04T21:42:00.000-05:002009-05-04T21:42:00.000-05:00Thank you for reading, Lucy, and I'm glad you aske...Thank you for reading, Lucy, and I'm glad you asked the question! But what hard, irrefutable proof do we have that the earth revolves around the sun, really? Scientist's claims are all we really have. And of course I do believe it, but it's because I have faith in that information. <br /><br />Like I wrote, the only thing that would be hard proof for me is if I could actually see the earth revolving around the sun from a fixed position somewhere out in space.<br /><br />Remember, there was a time when scientists claimed they had proof that the earth was flat and everyone believed it for awhile. Did they believe it because they had hard proof, or did they believe it because they had faith in what the scientists were telling them at the time?<br /><br />There was a time when scientists claimed they had proof that the sun rotated around the earth, and everyone believed that for awhile too. But obviously they only believed it by faith in what the scientists were telling them, because they obviously had no hard proof.<br /><br />Have you been believing that Pluto is a planet all these years? Me too. Did you believe it by proof? Obviously not, because now they're telling us that Pluto isn't a planet after all.<br /><br />There's alot we believe out of faith in the information we're given, because we don't really have any hard proof for ourselves.<br /><br />The only hard, irrefutable proof I have for anything is what I can detect for myself with one or more of my own six senses. As for everything else, I can only believe it by faith in the information I'm given.<br /><br />So unless you've seen with your own eyes from outer space somewhere that the earth is orbiting the sun, you have no proof. You're just believing by faith in the information you've been given.<br /><br />Thanks again Lucy!Terry Scerinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595417141221814424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125282466232202973.post-21467380224873804172009-05-04T17:25:00.000-05:002009-05-04T17:25:00.000-05:00I am a little confused by your reasoning. You men...I am a little confused by your reasoning. You mention the brick wall and then you use the earth spinning around the world. You have faith that the earth goes around the sun (not the other way around). Not sure I see the difference? If there is proof that the earth goes around the sun, then it is not up to belief or faith anymore since it has been proven, right? So it doesn't matter whether or not you "believe" it is true, it is.<br /><br />'Splain Lucy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125282466232202973.post-81066290291162746882009-05-03T01:46:00.000-05:002009-05-03T01:46:00.000-05:00Outstanding and Amen!Outstanding and Amen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
