awood397,
I'm sorry I do not mean to be disrespectful, but it appears that Moss has hit the nail on the head.
You state that your purpose in attending church is because you have acquired a family, why is it you feel it necessary for you to bring your family into a religion?
After seeing your list of questions it makes no sense that you would drag your family into a religion which you apparently have absolutely no understanding of. And it also appears that you do not believe that a God that could create all matter that exist, and all life that exist, has the power to do something as simple as choosing two animals capable of reproducing.
I think there must be something that you have left out in your setup for these questions that I am missing, and I apologize but it makes no sense to me.
You should enter in your question #16 that both David and Paul were murderers like Moses. It appears to me the lesson here is the ability for God to forgive. Until you can understand that message you are going no where in your study of the scriptures.
