    I have been doing research and I am amazed at the things that man has made up

    On this we are agreed. I believe you are sincerly trying to do good on here, and not just try to make yourself feel better by preaching to others.

    We all have our beliefs. I am a former catholic, then seventh day adventist. Every time I think I have sorted out my beliefs, I read more, pray and learn. I have only at this point in my life had the courage to ask real questions instead of concentrate on my favourite verses, the ones that support my beliefs, and skimming over the verses that didnt quite fit. The Bible teaches us to keep testing our faith 1 John 4:1.

    Yes, gospel literature is what I am talking about.

    Well you see it never was a matter of my favourite bible verse but what is true as far as I can see.

    People have tried many things to cope with life. One thing to note is that Jesus is our strength.

    People have a habit of say "Oh Lord!" "Jeezz" ""Jesus Christ!" In times of trouble without even knowing He is the One who can help us and they are on the right track yet blind to see it.

    There is a right way and a wrong way; those who choose the wrong way may gain immediate attention, but their reputation is shortlived.

    Perhaps I am going about the wrong maybe I am going about this the right way. God knows I am trying - trial and error. By the way I am not perfect.

    How to be saved, and how to stay out of hell, and how to be prepared when Jesus does soon come. Not only is there a Hell, but also a Heaven.

    This looks like an excellent thread - I will start following it and maybe post later - Tetrapod.Sapien has even had a Road to Damascus conversion - very interesting - maybe it is even pssible for hopeless cases like myself to become a Trinitarian

    No one is going to feel comfortable approaching or listening to a preacher who looks like a gorilla robbed of his last banana!

    Right?

    You are not a hopeless case. You are a very special person. In God's eyes you are a princess.

    When we trust in God He will take care of us even though the storms come.

    And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal

    2 Kings 2:1
