You are pointing up things that are largely irrelevant. Confess it frankly, you won’t accept the idea of a God that asks different people to express faith in different outward manners at different times. And that, just “because.” You’ve already dug in your heels and won’t undig them. You’re basically hung up on “list of works” righteousness rather than works displaying faith and being a means of exercising faith.
Actually youre wrong.I dont believe in works at all.Im a sinful man with a sinful nature and all my works are as filthy blood soaked rags.Nothing I can ever do will make a speck of differance.Its my Faith that Jesus did it all is my only hope.
Doesnt change the fact that I argue with God,Question what I see as inconsistancies in His word,and point out foolishness on the part of man and church.God accepts and desires people to question and argue with Him.If you dont believe that I can point to many referances in the Bible to prove it.
I agree with lady perfect in many ways here today,especially where she points out if you dont feel Gods love in youre life too many people blame the person.When they do that they are no better than Jobs advisors.
