For those that don't like God

[BABY J]

SWING!!!! AND A MISS!!!! That's a great THOUGHT. But try to get a NURSE to consult a Haynes manual... THAT is more inline w/ trying to get a non-believer (or some1 who is undecided) to read the bible. You asked CAR ENTHUSIASTS to consult that manual... of COURSE we would b/c we are ALREADY enthusiasts! A nurse will PAY Pep Boys $100 to switch out her battery b/c the manual means nothing to her. Typical "devout follower" response. The BOTTOM LINE is *Jesus performed MIRACLES and did great works in order to get followers. Either he is DEAD, or he does not want to "convince" todays people that he is real. There is even a scripture that says w/out WORKS faith is dead! So why have faith in something/some1 where there is not "work" being performed?

Just like the nurse that can't change her own battery, a non-believer remains a non-believer as long as he/she sees fit to learn otherwise.

In other words, you keep saying that people AREN'T convinced. I'm telling you there are far MORE people who ARE than aren't. Therefore, to THEM they have gotten to a stage in their life and beliefs where they no longer need a flaming bush or Jesus walking on water in order to believe. So for you to say that "Jesus must not want to convince today's people because he hasn't performed a miracle lately...."......I say to you that maybe you're just not looking in the right places for that miracle, because people see how God works each and every day. YOU may not be convinced yet, but that doesn't mean others aren't.

BTW, "works" is not necessarily miracles....
