I want to be honest with God which just makes sense.
Sometimes when I read the letters from Paul to the churches I get caught up in the immediacy of them. The first letter to the church in Corinth is a fine example.
If you are virgin, don't get married because of the situation, and if you are married don't leave, and in all of it don't get caught up in your marriage.
It reads like "cancel date night".
Now for the honesty....that was really long time ago.
And I am waiting...and sometimes doubt creeps in.
Now folks throw verses around like 2 Peter 3:8...with God a day is like a thousand years..
but if I am honest (good idea, remember) it doesn't help some days.
Sometimes God's word is just really hard to deal with.
This is when I look past the word of God to the God of the Word.
Jesus was resurrected and showed himself to others and this is documented by other historians outside the Bible. Those who testified to it were killed for it and did not deny it. Those who saw him alive did not recant.
This, as much sense as it does not make (life from death) makes sense.
Guess God knew it was hard to believe, so he he showed us...
