of belief and faith

i thought i was going to miss this lesson, but i'm glad i could join them.

this time, it's about I Believe in God the Father Almighty. we had some fun with the Latin version of the Apostles' Creed. what's next, German?

thoughts:

i put my faith in the fact that there is only one God. i believe He should be in control of everything. i believe i should not try to manipulate or control Him. He is the reason why i live.

so since God is in control, all the more i should depend completely on Him.

Christianity is the only faith where we relate to God as our Father. many who study the Bible notice the stark contrast between how God relates to the people before and after Jesus.

for me, that's on the surface level. i do not see any differences at all. God is as loving as a Father before, during and after Jesus walked on earth. probably takes the Holy Spirit to help one see that.

there was a person argued that God is not almighty. his query was 'can God lie?'

probably that caught many people off-guard, but God is almighty from the perspective that He cannot fail. we fail. He cannot fail.

thus, my thoughts on the study. i'll miss the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
