Is the God that you believe in, THE correct God?? I have been reading a vast amount of posts on this site, and most of them are written with an attitude of certainty that THEY are completely correct about God/Jesus, and that everyone else is wrong....or deceived by Satan. I would challenge all who are reading this to read a post by 'sonhouse' in the thread titled 'A deity does not need to test humans', on page 2. I think most probably missed this one, and it's a valid question that should be answered.
Why is YOUR God 'the' correct God? Why is your belief system completely correct, and everyone else is either just stupid, cannot read scripture correctly, deceived by Satan, or just plain wrong?? And, more importantly......a question that has come up at least 4 times recently....if someone disagrees with YOUR belief......that surely means that they do NOT love the 'true' God, and therefore are in Satan's firm grip.
I believe in a Creator.....that I call God. But have many doubts about everything else. I can freely admit, without shame, that I don't have THE absolute answer. Why can't you?? Sometimes when I am reading a response, I feel the desperation in your words the need to 'convince' people....or just yourself, because at any moment your entire belief system could crumble under your feet.
The BEST explanation I have ever heard regarding God has come from the movie 'Rudy'. The priest tells Rudy that in his 40 years of being a priest, he knows only 2 absolute certainties: 1) There is a God 2) I'm not Him.
