Not quite what I was thinking, although that 1Cor2:9 suddenly pops a little more now. "I just feel so lucky, lucky lucky lucky!"
And somehow i only just realized that this: "1Co 1: 18-21 18 For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God. " explains why the other christians even think, "If there is no hell, what is Jesus's sacrifice for?"
I was talking more about... You know, when I read the bible myself, some verses just don't really fit with the theology I was being fed. Such as the free will one, I began to think. If God had foreknowledge, how can there be any real free will? Then, there was the verse where God said that he willed all men to repent. I noticed it, but when I asked my Pentecostal Bible Study teacher, she kinda just told me "He wills it, but it's just a desire, that doesn't mean that all will repent" so I shoved it to the back to my head... Then when I was reading Ray's LoF series and all these little nitpicks start to surface and I'll get that "OH!" feeling, especially that I should NEVER have ignored the little nagging thoughts.
I was just talking to a christian on the web. When I told him the formal definition of free will, he said that, "No, we still get influenced by bad stuff, that's why we do bad things." "Well but having free will means that we can't get influenced to do anything." "What? No, of course not." "Well, that's what free will really is." ":O Aren't you just nitpicking?" "Go ask your pastor!" (
Eventually I linked him to BT but he said it was even worse than atheism...)
I find it pretty weird and amazing at the same time... But now I realize more strongly that none of us would have even began to think of that without God (LOL that took long to click).
I feel so humbled.
