Your standard is tangible (from a human perspective) proof, and as Zim pointed out earlier, that ain't gonna happen.

2 Corinthians 4:18 ~ "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

2 Corinthians 5:7 ~ "For we live by faith, not by sight."

It is a matter of faith ... one either chooses to embrace and maintain it or not.

re: "I won't speak anymore to this group about the Salvation that Christ alone can give to any who would repent and call upon HIM for salvation."

Don’t be upset, micro. I’m not asking questions to undermine your faith. I’m asking because I respect the depth of your knowledge and I’m trying to understand whether what works for you could also make sense to me. As you’ve said, this is an important subject, and I take it seriously.

Just to be clear, I’m not challenging God. I’ve said before that I think the universe was likely created by some kind of intelligence, and I’m perfectly comfortable calling that “God.” My questions are about the Bible itself. It was written by people, and people can be mistaken. So if I’m going to find the truths I’m looking for, I have to look beyond the text and examine the ideas themselves.
