Quote:How can a god stop functioning for a fraction of a second?
I don't think He does. That is a question that you created.
You need to answer it to your satisfaction, but only you (with God's help) can do that.
I suppose for all of us, the point where faith and reason intersect is slightly different.
For me, this point does not trouble me, for you, it does.
Ask God, and see what He says.
Quote:Matthew 7
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
