every missionary and many if not all priests RELY on God for everything in their life. money, food, their job, and their lives?
I know missionaries who never seem to have enough for the trip their making, yet they are never in debt and never fail to complete their payments. Sure, first they worry like crazy. But after a while, they reach a point that all Christians would love to reach--rely entirely on God.
2) Paradox.
Pick up a Bible and read it, I suggest the proverbs/james...NT
God IS loving, but just. Your parents (I hope) don't baby you when you make mistakes. This World? Is not of us, that is why it is corrupt.
God gave us free will. We, for lack of better words, just screwed it up terribly.
Stand in God's point of view. You made all these people. You made their lives and everything. Yet, these people you make...deny your existence, or see your existence and avoid it. Or maybe even worship so nonexistant being for your (God's) accomplishments.
Loving, but just. There's a huge difference between that and just "loving."
Why should you try Christianity first? err...go ahead and try other religions.
I think you'll see their flaws and soon be lead toward Christianity
it's late. i'll come back to add on to this if i remember, since i haven't answered all your questions. gotta do hw. haha
