I also believe that He does make himself known, through the lives of believers. I think that the very fact that God came to earth at all is amazing enough, regardless of it being 2000 years ago.
Its all a matter of faith, I trust that the Bible is Gods word, I trust in Jesus for salvation, of this I have total assurance in my heart, I simply know it to be true.
Ok that probably sounds crazy to you but I really cant explain it another way
Faith is one thing, blind faith is another.
If you're happy, who am I to say you're wrong? I have no quarrel with you or your beliefs, but it's the fanatics that do my head in. I'm saying it's all made up because that's what I believe it to be. There are too many contradictions in religion for me to follow any of them.
Anyway, I'm off to bed... good night.
