Re: Does God love you?
Being serious here, that ^^^ is an excellent response. Your post is precisely the way I see it. While Goshen and I don't agree on all things spiritual I have never questioned his commitment to his faith. To my thinking he is someone I'd immediately identify as my idea of a good Christian. Of course coming from me I can understand how some people would consider my naming good Christians to be tantamount to the kiss of death.
Nothing he said demonstrated any lack of faith, my friend. In a conversation with those who are not similarly so convinced as we are, it's often helpful to provide some background for why we have faith in God as well as belief in the word of God. I want Goshin to correct me if I'm wrong but what I took from his post is that, in Goshin's experience, his faith has proven to be well placed because he has seen God work in his life. God needs no justification to be sure, but people often want to know WHY we believe or may even assume us to be mindless followers if all we say is that we have faith but don't follow up with why we do.
