Q-- I guess you're right. It does seem that I am the only one who cares about that. Oh well, to me it is still an important point but I'll let it go unless someone would like to discuss it further.
I guess my reasoning for this is because ever since I was christian I have been taught to read the Bible a certain way. When parts such as this came up I received answers such as these. It was doubt, just have faith, we can't explain everything. The underlying tone was always, "hey, back off on these questions, we don't want to discuss that too much".
I suppose I am listening to that inner voice for once that has always nagged at me about these things. Once I responded to this inner voice it went from a dull whisper, grew louder and now it is crystal clear. I pray all the time about these things. i don't want to ruin someone's faith or make them feel bad. For me the days of ignoring the inner voice, the voice that I hear when I pray to God also, are over. Some have told me it is the devil. They say satan is hunting me down and to question is of the devil. To use your words Q, "horse puckey". I don't buy that anymore. I'm on the other side now and you know what, the weather is nice and satan isn't attacking me. And I have this hunch that is growing and growing that says, "jesus would be proud".
