Free will is doing and saying what you like; but please remeber
that there are consequences. So for you to put words in my mouth
have consequences as well. A gentle reminder.
People who put their faith in the bible are no less idolators then
people who put their faith in a statue.
Man has this overwhelming need for idols. When the bible witness to
people, telling them not to put their faith in idols, they
straightaway create a new idol called the Bible.
The Bible has its place. The Bible is a witness like people are
witnesses.
Sure, there are false witnesses and there are real witnesses. Just
because the witnesses put their experiences down in writing does
not make the witnesses infallable. If the bible is not a "black and
white" "witness" of people's experience with God; then it would be
God giving man evidence. God give you evidence?
Please don't think so highly of yourself, to put it mildly, do you
think that you are equal to God so that you can demand evidence of
God from God?. The original sin was man attempting to be God. "Eat
and you shall be like God."
You need to place your Faith in God. Faith in God are not feelings.
You say that because you have never been born again and you have no
idea what Faith in God is. Faith in God leads to being Born of the
Spirit. People Born of the Spirit have a relationship with
God.
The progenitor of this relationship is Faith in God (Faith in idols
will not do.) Once you are born of the spirit as a result of this
Faith, the relationship does is not dependent on Faith anymore. You
enter into the Kingdom of God.
Because spirit is eternal, you then continue to have this
relationship with God for eternity. Friend, I have been where you
are right now. Strip yourself of all idols and put your Faith in
God only and ask God to give you Birth of the Spirit. Only God can
do that, nothing you can ever do or imagine can do that.
Remember, idols will not do. Whether the idol is a book or a statue
or a concept of God in your head.
