Challenge your faith

I haven't posted in a while, sometimes when there is too much to write and too little time I just freeze up and get nothing out.

Here: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/
Have your faith challenged and biblical inerrancy and authorship questioned in a scholarly setting. Learn about other deutrocanonical early-Christian and Gnostic writings and some scholarly debate about them. Oh, and if you make it past the actual canon, check out Marcion. Out of struggle with the Judaisers, he created the first canon, tried to sever Christianity from Jewish influence and set up a church rivaling the Catholic one.

On the other hand don't read if you want to keep your view of the Bible completely in a modern context or don't want to be challenged.

And if you aren't challenged enough after mucking around there, read this:

And then if you can still stand come up with a proof for God's existence better than one of these 300, (courtesy of Atheists of Silicon Valley):

That should keep anyone busy for a few days. At least it did for me.
Antithesis:
I the Lord your God am a jealous God (Exodus 20:5)....for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14).
vs.
Love knows no jealousy... 1 Corinthians 13:4
