That was uncalled for.

One question is not enough.

Did anyone baptize John the Baptist?

What exactly was Jesus doing between the ages of 12 and 30?

How DOES one turn water into wine?

What's YOUR favorite hymn?

What is the extent of your creation? Is it a multiverse?

Yeah, so isn't God vulnerable, to our lack of love for Him? I don't mean in His nature, but that He feels it? What is He really doing, when He creates anything? Isn't He speaking to a thing we can call reality on multiple levels? Do you suppose any of those levels are beyond His understanding? What does that answer mean about spontaneity in the universe, especially when it comes from us? You would think, by what most people say about this, that God wanted to be in love with a mentally challenged girl. Do we even have free will? And what does that mean, anyway? No, God is an artist. What do you ask an artist?

I would ask Him if this means He is going to go away at some point? No, not now in the telling, but in fifty thousand years. Is He asking for us to replace Him? I would want Him to know that thought mortifies me. His Spirit invigorates me. I can't seem to see how I could say that I even exist, if I am not in relationship to Him. For Him to go away, and like that, would seem to be the end of me.



From this point, I need to wait upon the Lord, He is the only one with the answer. I guess the question really pertains to whether there is a limit to how much suffering one can endure? He has, after all, seen it all.

How exactly did Jesus' death accomplish our "salvation"?

Did you, God, really "need" blood, or was it something else?
