Which gospel? and so on. thanks.igornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-80037967829632874352012-08-16T20:42:31.533-04:002012-08-16T20:42:31.533-04:00Um...thanks? Um...thanks?

Yes, I asked many of those same questions and finally had to conclude that many of the things I was taught about God, and which many people still believe, simply aren't true. So much of modern, mainstream Christian theology is so self-contradictory that it is amazing to me sometimes that so many millions of people don't seem to notice.<br /><br />In any case, thanks again for reading and commenting.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535260741343975445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-10978132558090412332012-07-21T12:48:16.341-04:002012-07-21T12:48:16.341-04:00Hello again Scott; you and I are quite alike. Ha...Hello again Scott; you and I are quite alike. Having grown up hearing 'hell fire and damnation' but also seeking God not man I too have come to many of the same reasoned conclusions as you. For example: would you condemn those unfortunate souls in East Africa who have never heard of Jesus to an eternity in a burning hell? I wouldn't. Therefore, can we be more compassionate than God? I think not. Can we have greater Love than God? Of course not. Is his plan for us to accept the sales pitch "if you die tonight without accepting Jesus you're going to eternal hell?'. Not a very loving God I would say.<br />My search for the loving God I know has been much like yours; I have found him and try and share his love (you can't hide it) and rejoice at his wisdom and grace.<br />Hopefully we can compare notes somewhere/sometime.<br />RobertRobert L.
