To say otherwise is simply dishonest and arrogant as to maintain such a presumptuous view. It then comes down to more of a matter of faith in a belief system which I contest to be far less plausible than its competitor.<br \/>\nAnyway when contemplating this matter I would at least ask you to be willing to re-examine your position, after all to take such an oppositional view without honestly evaluating the matter of God may only prove to destroy rather than promote the self by which you are so committed to preserve.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/jesusandjews.com\/wordpress\/\">How to know God<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(Other Languages)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/jesusandjews.com\/wordpress\/2013\/10\/17\/\u5982\u4f55\u4e0e\u4e0a\u5e1d\u5efa\u7acb\u5173\u7cfb\/\">\u5982\u4f55\u4e0e\u4e0a\u5e1d\u5efa\u7acb\u5173\u7cfb-Chinese Simplified<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/jesusandjews.com\/wordpress\/2013\/03\/15\/\u795e\u3068\u95a2\u4fc2\u3092\u6301\u3064\u65b9\u6cd5\/\">\u795e\u3068\u95a2\u4fc2\u3092\u6301\u3064\u65b9\u6cd5-Japanese<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/jesusandjews.com\/wordpress\/2012\/10\/18\/\u043a\u0430\u043a-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u0442\u044c-\u043e\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0441-\u0431\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043c\/\">\u041a\u0430\u043a \u0438\u043c\u0435\u0442\u044c \u043e\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u0441 \u0411\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043c-Russian<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/jesusandjews.com\/wordpress\/2013\/09\/30\/lam-the-nao-de-co-moi-tuong-giao-voi-duc-chua-troi\/\">L\u00e0m th\u1ebf n\u00e0o \u0111\u1ec3 c\u00f3 m\u1ed1i t\u01b0\u01a1ng giao v\u1edbi \u0110\u1ee9c Ch\u00faa Tr\u1eddi-Vietnamese<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;
