Re: I want to believe but my mind's in the way
I had a quick skim over the first site you referenced and some of the messages posted and I noticed some facts too often overlooked.
Too many facts have been twisted since Jesus was resurected.
A quick personal dig-:
;The only portrait I've seen of 'The Virgin Mary' when Mary was alive, painted Mary as a black lady. Makes you wonder!
;The Pope was basicaly the head of the group creating todays calender and it's proven to be out by over two years. For every point I've seen made that dates could be incorrect, indepth studies have further proven Jesus' existance.
The Indian government sent a scientific team to mount ararat and proved the existance & validity of 'Noah's Ark'.
Try http://www.wyattarchaeology.com/ ,Hard core evidence of OT events.
The message given through John by Jesus about The Holy Spirit (trivial note - to the israelite (and that includes more than the jew) when you say 'THE' you often refer to God). John from what I've seen really was given to the profession of The Holy Spirit and Jesus made note of 'The Holy Spirit' as a person. Jesus even made reference to 'The Holy Spirit' being male, greater than himself, and (by relation of the statment of who he recieved all things (I don't think we give enough weight to 'All Things' in relation to the 'simple' & 'complex' reach of the plausabilities)) his father (as written). Then take into the account 'revelations' and the letters and so forth to 'The Sevenfold Angel/Spirit/Messenger'. Jesus makes a note of giving the center of his focus in the letters to sitting on his father's throne as he sat on the throne. Basicaly the exaltation of a man to God. Jesus's God. I could go on for a while over theoligy of the concept yet I'd just be opening myself to the possibility of an improved and refined game of chasing a tail.
The universe isn't eternal. Science has proven (the most niftiest feature of the 20th & 21st century in relation to biblical debate other than evolution (which supports the theory of 2 starting points of the evolution of moden man when you look at evolutionary tell signs and the origin area of both sides (another message of relavant triviality)) the universe has a wall of white hot plasma surrounding the theoreticaly spherical universe we're in. When matter is sucked into a black hole it's said the energy and matter is transfered to this wall supporting the universes growth. However the number of black holes differ as creation continues & eventualy the numbers of black holes are set to diminish. The result is a shrinking of the universes size as the energy/matter feeding is eventualy starved. "For Every Action There Is An Equal & Opposite Reaction". Personaly my fave view point is glory, have a look around at every possible definition of glory, when you're in the womb effectively you undergo your initial growth and suddenly (early pregnancy in the womb) you undergo a stage where the body suddenly destroys body mass. Hew the granite & then you chisel.
Jesus was God's personal sacrifice in my eyes for God's repentance. God had things he required forgiving for and technicaly by his own law it required sacrifice. He made it worth his while in the process, inspiring man (I find it strange how Jesus said he didn't come to change moses' law, attended animal sacrifices as required, and yet we got out of that area of God's law).
I couldn't write everything I could want to write as I don't believe that would be fair to either party.
Yet I will type this
Simple pure faith from what I've seen will prosper the person more effectively. Believe in the simplicities.
Enjoy your Christianity journey, May every footstep find God's Bounty
There's a great 'KJV' bible/reference tool with Hebrew and Greek one word transaltions have a look around at what was being written.
