Dear Mark Hunt,
Let me begin by saying, please don’t judge Jesus by the
actions of Christians. We mean well, but
we mess up a lot. I’m sorry for any
animosity you have received, that’s not God, it’s our own fear and
insecurity. God doesn’t need us to
defend Him. He is God. That being said, I feel compelled to share my
own experience, I guess I can’t help myself.
No, I’ve never seen God.
He has spoken to me, and I can tell you what He sounds like. He sounds like undeniable truth. Like a thought more clear than anything you
can think or know for yourself. Most of
the time when I pray (and I hate to publicly admit this), it’s something like
chit-chat, a nightly requirement, like the days I show up to the gym, but my
hearts not in it. It’s not that I don’t
want to get better, but some days I’m just going through the motions. But then, there are times when my mind and my
heart are clear, and I know I have a direct line. In these moments He has responded in the most
amazing ways. Maybe that’s not enough to
answer your questions, but it’s what I have if you’re truly curious about His
existence.
Regarding the authors and the whereabouts of the transcripts
of the Bible, I have another way to look at that. I believe it is impossible to live without
faith on some level. We buy food that is
labeled on faith. We believe that the
consequences for lying are so great that companies wouldn’t dare mislead us… We
watch the news and accept that there is truth in what we hear… Even the most
devout believer in the theory of evolution has to take a leap of faith. Nonliving matter had to become the first
amoeba somehow for the whole idea to work.
Last I heard they still don't have any evidence on that one.
I think believing the scriptures is something like the
faith we put in everything else. You
have to interpret information, understand its context, do your own research,
and find your own truth. Just like when
I clear my heart and pray, God gives answers.
I don’t know if I’ve helped at all, but I deeply respect you
for asking the hard questions. I’m happy
you found the truth.
God bless,
Katie Casimir
