7 is too early hahah. Luckily this morning, I slept in to 11am[=
i woke up at 10 today..we had to go to church...i hate church...
ya hate church?
I didn't go today, I wasn't feeling the best, and I was really tired, I had three cats keeping me up most of the night
I still am not feeling the best actually
maybe its just cause i think too much and i just don't believe it...
well, i hope you get enough sleep..or something..just get better ^.^
I think too much as well.
But I do Believe that God exists. I have personally experienced, and I believe those he sent long ago through their writings, which were written in the Spirit of God, (which we call the bible)
and that salvation comes only through the grace of God by faith in Christ Jesus, and that there is no other way to God
i guess its just a matter of belief..or faith or something..
i personally don't believe it cause..well..i think the stories in the bible are interesting..and hes all like 'do this or die!' kind of attitude in the old testament but then its like all nice in the new one..and isn't the bible like this really old thing translated from Hebrew from Jerusalem..or something..?
Well actually many times in the Old Testament, God shows his loves and expresses his sorrow that his people have left him for idols made by human hands. God's rules are perfect, but its not like you must follow everything here, or you will die instantly. When he gave the laws, we were sinful and deserved death, they were to show the people that they were sinful, so that they would turn to him. The apostle Paul explains all that in Romans (before chapter 10 or so) when he talks about the law, and faith and all those good things.
The Old testament is written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the New Testament is written in Greek. Each "book" or rather piece of writing was written in different places, a Chapter of Daniel was written by the King of Babylon, the psalms by many people from many places.
