I'm not gonna write a novel, so I'll be quick. Sorta.
Bible quote: paraphrased...to live life like there is no God makes you
a fool.
Nothing is force fed to me. I have been called to GOD, through HIS
Son, by HIS Holy Spirit. How did I manage to hear HIS call? The eyes
and ears of my soul were open. Look around you. GOD is everywhere.
You CANNOT believe part of the bible and not other parts. It is all
true, or all false. GOD cannot lie. Therefore, I choose to believe it
is all true.
You cannot believe in GOD without faith. Some people have not found
faith.
Those who don't believe are (to use your words) "sheep heading to the
slaughter"
God's Word. Is It Relevant? From your google list. All that is
questioned is from the Old Testament (Old Covenant). We live under the
New Testament (New Covenant). The Old Testament days, Old Testament
Saints are different from the New Testament days (The Church Age), New
Testament Saints. They looked forward to Jesus. We look back. And
believe.
Can't explain it all. I ain't no bible scholar.
