I'm still trying to figure things out too. The "Christian" religions which include Baptist claim exclusive of course. I grew up Baptist and have studied things closely. I don't agree with everything I have heard from them. In fact I'm rejecting more all the time. ONe thing that bothers me is that they talk about this God as being supreme and that the only reason he made us, continues to help us, or causes us trials is for HIS glory. My husband went through such turmoil when he had his injury 2 years ago or so. He was in a coma and still has lingering effects of the injury. Everyone we knew kept saying. This is for GOD's glory. If some human were to do something like that to another human just for their glory they would be considered egotistical and selfish. If that "supreme" being that they tout were such a "good" God than why would he cause that for HIS glory. It seems so contradictory to me. Why should I give glory to this being that causes me harm and pain? I'm beginning to like the idea of a universal being that has no personal or selfish designs. Not sure where I stand yet though.
