Are you not the same wesw who wrote the quote below? It's quite obvious that you're having a difficult time in your life. I hope you can find your way to a better place. I believe you can do it. You've done it at least one time before.

Jesus' teachings gave me greater understanding. my path is thru jesus. that doesn t mean jesus, and thus god, has not shown other faces than the one I was shown, or that there are not other paths thru him than the one I m traveling.
I still don t think I m qualified to define jesus, or god. perhaps its beyond my ken.
you sound like you are supporting literal interpretation of the bible, which is full of teaching thru parables and metaphors, and yes, allegory. not to mention all the translations and political manipulations it has endured.
I do believe the message has survived all that, intact.
I certainly don t claim to be so knowing that I understand every parable or metaphor in the book. perhaps there are things that you have not considered or learned. perhaps there are things you can t even comprehend.
i can tell you that my life has changed completely. faults have disappeared that i was certain were there for life.
rage has just gone, seemingly miraculously. with that self loathing also left.
the journey was hard, the six months after i discovered jesus, and was touched somehow, were the worst of my life. it was hell, and a battle for soul and survival. there were miracles, but i wasn t suddenly saved. it was the culmination of a lifetime battle similar to what older and wiser has described so eloquently. I was totally destroyed in the process. it seems it was necessary.
i hated myself for my failures and weaknesses, i blamed myself for my parents shortcomings.
it was a time where i alternated between talking myself into my destruction, and out of it. the argument that the one good thing i could do for everyone would be to go was almost convincing. i so wanted to do good.
it felt like a battle of good and evil over me and within me.
i read a book called The Robe, that the library was discarding, and my better half brought home. it was in a stack and i almost discarded it when i started to read it. just some shallow story about rich roman elite and their decadence. for some reason i read on, and it was so much more. it was the story of redemption like no other and it made me change and believe i could be forgiven. god always seemed to be there after that, followed shortly by jesus, tho i fruitlessly resisted the idea that i could be a Christian for a while.
i sure feel like a Christian. but who am i to judge?
