I agree with Angel. I was born blind and got my sight back gradually. But
because I was born blind. I still have to touch things to know what they
are. I also do a lot of thing blind. I don't look at certain things when I
do them. I just go buy fill. Like unlocking a door, elevator buttons,
typing, actually I can't think of anything I do sighted, except watch wear I
am going when walking...
I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there
isn't. Than live my life as if there isn't a God, and die to find out there
is.
ABC's of Salvation:
Admit you are a sinner. Rom 3:23
Believe in Christ. Acts 16:31
Confess your faith. Rom 10:9-10
If you believe there is not a God. Than just die. For without a God you
can do this.
