In other words, I felt that was addressing your question. You were wondering how someone is to "believe". I chose those two passages because to me they are saying "doubters will always doubt, until someone teaches them any different". I'm not smart enough to teach anything about the Bible, but to me those passages are saying that in order to truly understand God, you have to study it. Follow?






You have to read the full story. Moses didn't part the Red Sea just because he was faithful. He parted the Red Sea as a direct order from God in order to escape persecution. I suppose if you God chose you to lead slaves out of Egypt, he'd give you whatever powers you'd need to do that too.




There's only ONE Jesus, so why would there be a need for another one?



Same answer as above. There is only ONE Jesus. If there were many, there would be no way to tell the real from the fake.



I quoted things from the bible because to me they explain some of the questions you have. I was hoping they'd do the same for you. Unfortunately, I'm no Bible scholar so I don't have the tools to explain any further than that. Maybe you should ask a priest or preacher and see if they give you an answer that makes sense to you.



Dan's smarter than you and I, so I can't help you there.
I hear ya on some of this stuff. I have talked to preachers and priests and they basically do the same thing. Explain things by pointing you right back to the Bible.

I know there is only 1 Jesus. Why can't we have another if he was such a good thing??? It's been long enough and we have a lot of problems that maybe another Jesus could help us with by dying.

I did read the story about Moses. So is it like rhetorical or for real....because who has powers like parting the sea? Only Moses or people from his generation aparently.

Johns and Romans can tell us all they want about earthly things...but we are not using their language anymore. Who's to say that whoever had to rewrite the bible didn't interperate things the way he thought it should be said? Not all words or sentences, for that matter, translate directly so that means someone has to interpret it. Why can't Jaime testify to any of these types of things happening? Because you've never seen it, right? You just read the Bible and hope that it's true. You've never experienced it for yourself and I don't mean the feeling of having God in your life. I mean a for real, seen it with your own eyes experience. It's like reading the internet, just because you read it and someone says it's true doesn't mean it is. Now if you see a video potsed then all of a sudden you can fathom it.
