Life after death, interesting read

[DJD]

I mean no offense by this but in your last sentence it sounds more like you are hoping you are correct than having faith. You are not the only person that I have heard put it like that either. I guess the way that I think is I am going to live my life the same as I have and God will decide what he wants done with me. My free will is always going to have doubt and I don't think anything anyone says will change that. I personally don't think anyone fully understands the Bible or the meaning of the words. Again if it is Gods words it was still written by man who has probably screwed it up somehow along the line. Also I still don't understand why God would not want us to know that He exists. I know people that will say they know for a fact that God exists. I'm sorry and mean no disrespect to anyone that feels this way but no one knows for a fact. There is only way to know this. People have faith that their is a God which I have no doubt but to hear some say they are 100% certain to me is false.

No offense taken.....im just telling it like i see it, becoming a christian is a personal choice and when your ready you will find it was a good choice. Funny thing is you sound like me many years ago. Looking for reasons not to believe and trying your best to understand something this difficult. It's cool and we all go through it. There are many things to gain by going to a good church that has small groups or men's groups. You get to ask the kind of questions your asking and hopefully talk to some folks who have dedicated their lives to teaching and preaching the word of God.
It really is helpful to talk to a Good Pastor or leader of a church who understands where your coming from. They can answer these questions and concerns much better than me and I'm not so well versed in the bible as to have many of the answers. I will say this....not all folks who are in positions of leadership at churches are great teachers. It's like any other profession, job or leader....some are better than others.
