Brandon's Bible Adventure: New Reactions Available

I have refined those "Reactions" buttons down below each post. You now have the option to tell me whether you though a post was:

Funny
Interesting
Helped My Faith
Hurt My Faith or
This Sucks

Thanks to Chris Dela for those two faith suggestions!

And these are anonymous, believe me I tried to see who clicked what, but I cannot - so please don't be bashful about clicking those buttons. Especially the "this sucks" button. I want to know when it sucks.

Running Questions

1. Why does God seem to hope for things if he is all knowing? - Theory: God is in fact NOT all knowing.
2. Why do natural 'act of God' disasters happen if God is all loving? - Theory: God is in fact NOT all loving
3. What things from the Bible can we dismiss as cultural norms of the time? Theory - Nothing can be dismissed as cultural norms. God's actions and rules seem so severe because of the relationship between him and man and man's tarnish because of sin.
4. What's the freaking deal with the God sanctioned genocide of the Midianites?
5. Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of the New Testament?
6. Is God, in fact, all knowing, all loving, and all powerful?

Goals

1. Read the entire Bible by December 31, 2010 - FAIL
2. Look for images of God and know what it means to fear God
3. Take the Bible at its word and don't impose my preconceived notions on the text.
4. "Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures."
5. Cook a large dinner and invite the poor and needy. (Luke 14:12)
6. Be able to quote the Bible as readily as the Simpsons (3 year goal)
7. Be able to define God based on all the evidence in the Bible
