Who gave it to us? Your faith means you are convinced it was God but me.............I'm just baffled. Just because its written down and millions of people believe it to be true doesn't mean that it is - but people also believed that the world was flat until it was proved otherwise.

However, if I disappear from the face of the earth tonight I will be convinced by your point of view

FWIW, my faith is not driven by a book. I did not sit down... read the bible and think "hey this sounds good to me I'll just go with it" My faith is driven by what I have felt and experienced.... it is very hard to explain but my faith is based on my encounters with God. It sounds strange to someone who hasn't experienced it or doesn't know they have experienced it.... but to me it is more real than the nose on my face. Not because some book tells me so... but because of my experiences with God. Again.... sounds strange but to me it is real.

BTW, winnie the pooh is real although I suppose the original Pooh is sadly no longer around... but he was a real bear lol and Christopher Robin a real boy. OK.... I know entirely too much useless winnie the pooh info. ha
