    okay sure, well i am a pretty new christian, so i really do not have all the answers.

    i believe in one God, a God of Love who created us. I believe that God gave us freedom, and of course the freedom of choice if we decide to find him. God is a powerful energy level of love, and when we can catch on to that level throught the holy spirit we are a new person and if we can retain it we will spend eternity (out of time) with God. God created us, so therefore is a 'creator', hense the free will, if God created us, he gave laws of the universe such as gravity etc, that cannot be broken, everything was set up. God knows all, as he was the designer.

    there was a seperation at the beginning when we (humans) detached from the natural way of things, if you notice animals stick to what they were created for. it became detached because of our conscience, we became aware we can do right and wrong. because of said sin of the beginning we are detached from God and we must find it.

    however, many human societies throughout history failed, so Christ gained the spirit of God as our guide, he dies so that we have a way to reach God, through our faith we can now reach him. however i am still unsure of my belief of if others of different belief could still reach God.

    the Bible was written ispired by the Holy Spirit, i do believe, because of free will, things have been left out, and errors, because some incidents may have only been correct fo that certain situation, it doesn't mean it is a total set of rules, because I believe God is bigger than the Bible. Jesus and his message is the important thing, Jesus sets an example of the state of mind we need to be in reach God.

    at present i do not attend church, i did used to attend a pentecostal church in the city where i used to live, this was just because i was dating the postors daughter though. i have a problem with many churches, i feel the Message has been raped. i am currently looking for a right church, i am checking another one out this sunday night when i get back to my town. i live in a small costal town now, so my options are limited. however i do not believe church is necessary, but i think it is important that christians talk to one another about theology and their belief, but also keep in the real world, and talk and be friends with non-christians, i only have 2 christian friends. the majority are non-christian and i think that is important, even when i am not talking about God, i am trying to be a good example by trying to live christ-like.

    Jatom, is your symbol a cross or a question mark?

    You answer some questions about your faith, Mr. Apologist.

    You answer those same questions, only tell us WHY you believe this way.

    Batter up!

    More to the point Jatom ~ All things are created naked including living things. If there is a creator "God", then nakedness is the way of the creator. The question then becomes ~ why is the way of clothed man more suitable than the way of naked God?
