Yes, I figured it would be interesting just to see what everybody thought and believed before the blogs though. So that's why I posted. I'm working my way through them while studying for finals. I'll get back to you later on how awesome they are…

Michelle: have you read the posts that follow this one? I use scripture to answer the questions. You might find it interesting…

1) Is it true that some people will not ‘choose Christ’?

True.

2) How do you ‘choose Christ’?

Free will. I mean, you can choose to hate Him. You'll go to Hell, just as the Bible says. Or you can choose to love Him and live life for Him.

3) If God has ‘given you to Jesus’, can you reject it?

Yep. Free will, just as others have said.

4) Is it possible to not believe something that you believe? (If you believe that the grass is green, can you be convinced otherwise? etc…)

Certainly. We believe certain things – and the Bible convinces us otherwise. Likewise, some people believe God is a God of hate and not love, and I've seen many people be convinced otherwise.

5) Does Christ’s sacrifice cover every sin?

Besides blaspheming God, I believe so.

6) Is there more than one Truth?

You know, that's a toughie. The Bible has some things which you must interpret, and they're interpreted differently. Some things, like in Revelations when the "angels of the seven churches" is spoken to, have multiple meanings. They may all be appropriate, though I don't know if they're all "Truth."

1.) Is it true that some people will not ‘choose Christ’?

yes.

2.) How do you ‘choose Christ’?

Surrender.

3.) If God has ‘given you to Jesus’, can you reject it?

yes. That's free will.

4.) Is it possible to not believe something that you believe? (If you believe that the grass is green, can you be convinced otherwise? etc…)

If you don't believe something that you believe, then you didn't really believe it. You believe what you experience. I "thought" I believed what everyone spoonfed to me, until I experienced God's grace through personal relationship with Jesus, then I believed. Really believed.

5.) Does Christ’s sacrifice cover every sin?

yep. every sin.

6.) Is there more than one Truth?

No.

7.) Can you guess which fourth grader is me?

I think you're the one on the bottom row with the glasses.

You aren't the one wearing the tie, right? Or the other tall person?

I was gone the day of that class picture. My version has me Photoshopped in with Johnny Depp's body from Curse of the Black Pearl. Savvy?

Do you still have that outfit? You still dress like that — a bit.
