	.... and we read things like:

>awfully big gap there...)

	The Bible says that Christ was with God in the beginning.
That Christ *is* the word of God see prophecy and read *who* is
the 'word' in Revelation. Read Psalm 22 then get a good Concordance
to point you to the Verses starting in the OT. Lot's of
verses in the OT about the Christ to come (even where he would be born...)
2000 years ago...
	Just a thought :-)

>ago...)  Think of that...80% (thats 4+ BILLION PEOPLE) of the
>world's population is condemned to hell (not forgetting the billions
			^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	Where does the Bible state this (it doesn't - no not just the number)
God said He is the God of the living *not* the dead. They haven't been
judged *yet*. And will be judged by what they *know* - as to what
*they* know (do you know all 4 + BILLION?) -read... You should not put 
numbers to things like this because God said Judgment is mine 
(God's of course). You assume he is BAD which isn't what the Bible states... 
And you *think* you use the Bible to back you up!... How does the Bible 
state that God will reveal Himself to Christians so they can ultimately 
say there is truth in the Bible. If it were not for that -you could not 
argue anything with 'it' -as a closed system devoid of history or of God...
(circular....)

	You seem not to know enough of the Bible to make sense of it.
 - does take work and you have to *want* too. God/Christ will make the rest
clear once you repent and seek God....

	 Keep looking...
