Sorry for the delayed response to you question / comment …. This kind of conversation invites many to spew their own thoughts, beliefs or opinions …. Or simply put; certain topics – everyone has something to say. Because they know what they know and you do not know what they think they know and they do not know what you really know?

For those that do not know, or not “in-the-know”: those that know do not speak, and those that speak do not know.

If we speak; for the right reasons, do we know? Or are seeking to know? Is it our place to spew about a guess? Is it our mission to preach to others as if we are in the know? Or our we all seeking to learn from one another? We need not learn “the word” exactly from another. Often, the learning environment creates more questions within us all and sometimes sparks wisdom in us by triggering deep thought. Does the truly ignorant or retarded become condemn to hell for being other than a studious student of the “book?”

Some push to see the “light” while others humbly live and learn if not by the path they find themselves on in life. Do we condemn the man who waits until his last breath? Or is the “My son is an honor student of the Bible” the only way I to heaven?

Again, we have more questions than answers. Shouldn’t we always be in question? Or must we truly believe In the false peace of mind one receives from reading the Bible and thinking ….. “ I read and understood the Bible and therefore I am? “. It isn’t enough to be an “A” student of the Bible. Therefore is it enough to blindly have faith?

It is not our place to doubt first before we believe. No book is going to be a road map or a pass. Do you not think a non believer can stand before God and not enter into heaven? Hopefully we know not that answer.
