I'm sorry, I had to sleep for a little bit - it is early in the morning here in Japan. What inspired you to choose the screen name that you have? You know my wife used to have a crush on McGuyvor when she would watch his show?

Please just talk to me, and stop quoting the bible. Speak from your heart, speak what you believe when you close your eyes. I can sense that you are one with great wisdom, please share it with me :-)

Hi my friend,my sons favorite show was my nic, that we watched together while he was here with me on this planet.What better way is there to reach out to someone and touch their soul then with bible quotes?If you sensed one with great wisdom,then know that it came not from a man,and one can not attain such wisdom,from following in the footsteps of others,who seek their pleasure in the ways of this world.When one seeks JESUS and HIS WAYS,one will start feeling compelled to walk the opposite way.JESUS encourages me to share what he reveals to me.I'm just as confused about this world as the next guy.The only time I feel wise,is when I stop talking and start listening.May GOD bless you and those you love with HIS wisdom.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVl4hJwUQNw[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVl4hJwUQNw  :hf:

Thank you for your kind words, and I am so sorry about your son. My mother and father lost my oldest sister when she was three years old, and I could see the emotional pain and toll that took on them. I hope that you know you will be reunited with him again, love is too strong for family to ever truly die if we keep them in our hearts. You are right, I need to read the bible a lot more, I have been asking others what they think without reading it myself. Thank you for your wise words and guidance, and may God bless you and your loved ones as well :-)

Original Message I am at a stumbling block in my faith, and I need another Christian's perspective in order to help me understand this better, if you might indulge me. Most, if not all Christians believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. This is not to say that he did not take our sins upon Himself, because He did, but those sins were not of His doing.

What perplexes me is the idea that Jesus Christ can be thought of as experiencing the human condition in all that it entails, without ever having sinned Himself. An essential part of the human experience is failure, that surrender to the temptation of sin in order to fully experience what it feels like to fall.

We as humans must experience this to know what guilt feels like, and to seek forgiveness for our wrongs. Otherwise, we would have no way to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong, and to learn from our life mistakes. This is how we grow to be better people, and to live closer to God's path for us.

Christians, what do you think?
