If our understanding of God is beyond a shadow of a doubt, why are there so many definitions of God?
Secondly, there is one doubt that has been a mystery since I've confessed that Jesus is my savior.
If God is omnipotent, and he can foretell the future, why is there a tree of good and evil? And why is it placed in such a location where it is easily seen? Can that be considered as temptation?
So the bible states that we are creatures who is bestowed the breath of life, created in the image of the Almighty. So why did God allow the tree to be planted in the Garden of Eden, and send Jesus to be tramautised and brutally tormented thousands of year later?
So is faith blind? Belief in the uncertain and hope for life everlasting after your physical death.
Perhaps its the christians around me who've made me skeptical. Perhaps it's just me.
Alas, it's easier to just shrug my shoulders and walk away.
I still want to believe. yea I do.
