Do you think your thoughts through or just spurt off at the key-board, I am not trying to be mean, but you make comments about God creating Adam and Eve with His hands being a weird idea. And yet you speak of reincarnation as though you have been reincarnated and remember, through proof not thoughts, your past life.
God does not perform magic, magic is trickery, God performs miracles, and none of us in our current state of being can hope to explain how or even why God does a miracle.
And as far as the Bible being a book of stories, my young friend there is more historical proof that the prophecies within the Bible not only came to pass, but they came to pass exactly how and when God said they would. Then all of the history books combined that we use in our school systems today.
Can other "religious books" make this same claim? Remember just because many people are doing it, believing it, saying it, does not make "IT", from God!
1 Chronicles 16:23-31 Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!" AMEN and AMEN
God's Wrath Against Mankind ROMANS 1:21-25 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
Exodus 33:20-23 But, he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." Then the Lord said," There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen."
Isaiah 6:8-10 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, Here am I. Send me! He said, Go and tell this people: Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving. Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.
Again I apoligize for moving away from the topic but the question was asked, do I believe this stuff; to which I answer AMEN with all my heart, Let God be true and every man a liar.
Praise God
