Your post reminded me of a conversation I had once in college.
The guy I was talking to was reading a Carlos Castaneda book, something about how men became birds and then flew around.
I said to him, “you believe that stuff?” He said, yes, then added-—”well, you believe that stuff about the Virgin Birth, don’t you?”
I replied that I did. He was like “well, there you go.” He said, “Men turning into birds and flying, that’s one thing. But the Virgin Birth? That’s too far out for me!”
Amazing.
As if a supernatural being that created all we know simply isn’t capable of a virgin birth!
I often envision some of these people just doggedly determined to spend eternity dismissing God to the point that if they could meet Jesus in person, be saved for whatever reason outside the nrmal reasons, say for God’s own scinetific experiment; and they spent etermity in heaven, and after a ga-jillion years they’d STILL try to convince people around them that it’s all just a trick of the mind or a dream or ANYTHING in order to deny God.
There simply IS no convincing them there is a God...and the fact that God made these people is something MUCH MUCH harder for me to grasp, personally.
Free will I guess.
