Mr Banks, you sure are a character I do enjoy discussing things with you.
Let me say this, I MAY be sincerely wrong.. but then so may you, and we are only going to find out one day, and that is when we meet our Creator face to face.
I have been a Christian now for some 30 years and I too am a convert. I grew up in a family that didnot love God and as an 11 year old, I decided to find out about Him for myself. I met Him early one morning, knew the joy of my sins forgiven and that God Himself was now closer than any human being ever could be and that I was completely safe in His arms. I have NEVER regretted that decision. It was only by His grace that I can say that. The road I was heading on could have been a lot different with no family Christian heritage to fall back on.
So you see Mr Banks one of your theories is discounted with me, because like you, I also made an informed personal choice about who my Creator is.
As for not intending to tell those Somalis about God, let me tell you, I didn't. I didn't need to, you see they saw Him in me and asked me questions. I planned to stay off religion, to just share "humanity" with them. They asked the questions and I was able to provide the answers. Why did the ask the questions? Because when you see something that is irresistable, you have to know where it comes from. When you meet the True God, He is completely irrisistable and to not choose life in His name is beyond comprehension.
I have answered many times in the other forums that who I worship is GOD.. ONE GOD but expressed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For every question I could ask, He alone has the answers.
Personally I live my Christian life as James says in James 2:18 "... I will show you my faith, by what I do." Jesus said Let your light (faith) shine before men, that they see your good deeds , and praise your Father who is in Heaven".
If my life honours Him Mr Banks, then I am truly showing myself to be His Disciple. Am I sincerely wrong? I KNOW oneday I will hear Him (the Creator of the Universe, the ONE true God) say to me "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world" Matthew 26:34
Do you have that same assurance with you every day?
