I would love to help. I watched that video but it didnt convince me of anything. All it convinced me of was that there are people who rely entirely on physical evidence of our Lord before accepting him. Like the video said. You go to the Hospital fo…

The easiest way to understand the nature of God is to examine yourself... after all we are made in the image of God and after his likeness... Take a good look at yourself.. You have a body, and spirit and a soul. At the same time you are ONE person …
by the way, that whole thing about the SUN and how for 3 days its "dead" and rises for one day....Is Not God controlling all this? Does God not choose when the sun rises and sets, and at the same time doesnt God use symbols and AWFUL LOT... Look at …
