Well you seem like a decent person.
I know you can't get a correct answer, because there are 2 different choices for each, and both are right (or both are wrong). Just another way of saying the bible contradicts itself.
"but i think that if you are really HONESTLY searching for the truth about life (and God) that you will find it."
Obviously I don't know all the answers, but I know a lot more about REAL life than a book of man-written fiction from 2000 years ago.
