You surely don't claim to be Jesus or the holy spirit, but it seems to me that you don't trust Jesus to do his own explaining?
Is it ...[text shortened]... tention that you can do a better job of converting the sinners than the God who created them?
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Originally posted by josephwfunny you should mention that. i don't need luck. most of my truth will happen by study, hard work. granted, some researchers need luck from time to time to look in the right place. all i need is a library and the internet and todays knowledge will be revealed.
Good luck finding the truth.
all you need is the bible.

How pre-scientific the expression "Big Bang". There was no air to hear a noise. How could there have been a big Bang?

And what are the 'heavens' that are stretched out like a tent?
