Josh,
I think one of my favorite things about your writing on this blog is your honesty. Some of these questions are majorly important and what I think a lot of people struggle with. I'll be praying for you as you continue to work through them. In the meantime, keep asking them and see what happens. I'm looking forward to hearing some of your answers. One last thought, since we are talking about quesitons, I hope you also begin to ask & answer those questions about the secret message of Jesus..those were good ones too! (and let me finish the book soon) Later bro
