You guys are being thick headed. Think for a second, it's not a hard concept to understand.

I don't believe it and yet it makes perfect sense.

And no, Dover, you're wrong. Logic dictates what's supposed to happen (or what has happened) if a specific even occurs ("If this is like that, then logically this will happen.")

It's not a way to uniform every single choice for every different problem out there to have the same or similar answers/results.

If you haven't noticed, religion isn't logical. It's believe or don't believe. That's it. There is no reasoning why, there is no connecting the dots between events. It simply is what it is.

As for the money thing. Even if it didn't end up the way you wanted, that doesn't deter from the idea that you are ultimately in charge of things you want and don't want. (For example, you obviously wouldn't want to be shot, but that doesn't mean you wont be if you run into someone with a gun.)

However, more over, accepting/denying money is of a totally different situation than what we are speaking of. Maybe if I simplify the idea I'm trying to express by combining it with what you seem to be stuck on, it will be easier to understand.

Let's say for example, your parents come into enough money to pay off your tuition costs. However, they ask you and give you the option of if you want them to pay it for you or if you want to pay it for yourself. Thinking about it this way is the same thing I'm trying to say with this whole Jesus thing.

Jesus has come into the power to renew your sins. However, he leaves the choice up to you as to if you want them renewed or not. Since you obviously can't just walk up to him and ask him to renew your sins, you simply either believe he can do it or deny he can do it.

That's it. You guys are thinking into it way too much. It's just:
Jesus: Do you want your sins renewed?
Person1: Yes
Jesus: Ok, then all you have to do is believe in me.
