My reason for this faith, is that plenty before me have done the same thing.
conversly, If I happened to get my degree, and disprove E equals MC squared, I have faith that the scientific community will assess the evidence, and if I was right, they would change the formula.
There is no 'changing to fit the current evidence' in religion.
Just 'follow the book and shut up' forever.
Sciences ability to fix itself is why I have faith in it. I have faith that if the faults in its logic on certainthings haven't been realised and fixed already, they will be realised and fixed sometime in the future, when the evidence is available. |
That is absolute nonsense... You've stated slat out that you reject religious faith... what there is no chance of is you being open to the existance of God... now this I base on your own testimony.
Humanity is according to the scriptures made very much aware of God as we pass from this life, at which time we're held to account for the lives we lived here; the decisions we made and how we utilized the free will provided to us as a function of our right to our human life and the pursuit of fulfillment of that life. Now the good news is that God has blessed us with his grace and all we need to do to recieve it is recognize his existance and ask Christ to forgive us for our bad decisions, and to pursue a personal relationship with him, as our Lord and savior... The bad news is you're spending your free will in an attempt to undermine the faithfull... and post this life, it's my understanding that his grace is off the table and judgment is upon us... final, unforgiving, infinite judgment. Which will result in unspeakable torment to those that overtly stood between God and the faithfull.
I have a personal relationship with God, if you need some evidence, info or what have you, feel free to ask away... and as long as I feel you're sincere in your queries, I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Open your heart and get to know the Father. He's right there in you... all you have to do is ask and he'll answer.
