How about now?:D

This is one area where I'm attempting to walk a tightrope. I am daily studying to more fully understand what I believe without discounting it until proven false. While at the same time staying open to studying things I don't believe (because I may have missed something) without accepting them...

Okay, okay...see, I'm learning. Hard to open up to thinking about "tradition" when you grew up with "Fundi good, Catholic bad".:D Looking for a more mature thinking in that respect - In all thoughts keeping G-d first. (Some dispose of Him with philosophy) Much thanks, Mark

Cool. Thanks. Powerful thing, all praying together...

I used to go to Friday prayers with my friend from work. I saw everybody looking right and left and asked my friend later why. As he frequently did, my friend said "Don't ask so many questions". So I never found out. (I found out later that he wasn't very religious and may not have known...

Big AMEN here!

Yeah, I agree. I chose 5a because of lack of conclusive evidence to the contrary. This has been an enjoyable discussion, huh?

No. It's just a personal comfort that works for me. You do hear Him, though, don't you? You shouldn't - unless the time comes that it becomes truth, of course. Maybe...subjective, huh? I'll agree that that's true. I guess that's the point I was trying to make - To do whatever G-d says is...

Have you tried highlighting the material, holding Cntl C, switching to CR blank post and holding Cntl V? That's all I know...

Love Lewis! (and the books)

When it comes to salvation? I believe "yes". The way I see it, G-d is the "absolute standard".

Yes! [SIZE=2] [SIZE=4]Yes! I think I agree with you here. But I think you have to add "as long as they trust the Holy Spirit" to your above paragraph. "There is a way that seemeth right (logical?) in a man's eyes, but the end thereof is death". The "natural man" can't see the truth...

I thought the Holy Spirit guided us "into all truth".

Interesting. In your opinion, does the "saints under the altar" comment in Revelations refer to this? Always kinda wondered...

(Don't laugh)... Ben Hur

Dondi, I'll second your response...I couldn't have said it better.

Label schmabel, IyamwhoIyam! Thanks, J!

Is believing in G-d reasonable from a human point of view? Once you believe in Him, you can build a very reasonable religion in many different ways. My Christian religion seems very reasonable to me. And since I believe I am created, it seems reasonable to do whatever my creator says...
