I’m referring to what God says in the Bible. You didn’t catch that?

You are only important if you agree with the majority. Importance is a popularity contest.

Not everyone sees the Truth. Too many people won’t set aside their pride and all their worldly baggage when going to and reading God’s Word.

So your personal interpretation of the bible is supreme and all other interpretations are wrong.
Billy Graham had a crisis of faith concerning the Bible but after much soul searching resolved in his mind to place his full and complete faith and trust in it.

I was asked if I thought I was important in comparison to the greater scheme of things.
I think that this question was asked with an underlying assumption that things have more or less worth based upon the premise of size or power or quantity.
What say you? Do such factors as size or power or quantity increase or decrease ones importance?
Sorry to break it to you.

In cosmological terms, neither one of us is important.
Sorry to break it to you.
What you mean is, from your perspective all that has happened apart from me is more important than myself. That is YOUR perspective, not Mr. Cosmological's perspective.
What if God created the vast universe that is trillions of years old with the most important goal of created us?

Are you open to the idea that He didn't?
