What Do I Believe?
What Do I Believe? I recently have had conversations with people who in a self-deterministic, take charge manner have declared what they believe about God, the state of the world and how they will live out their lives. Each person is sincere and, for whatever reason, is fed up with ‘organized religion’. Good questions are brought up: “How can there be only one way of salvation for everyone unless everyone has a chance to hear the same information?” “What about Hell? How can a good God allow people to go or send people to a place of torment?” GREAT QUESTIONS! Usually what comes along with questions is an attitude of defiance and even arrogance. Unfortunately, I rarely meet a true questioner. People have already made up their minds and there’s nothing you can do to change it? First observation: We are always in danger of going down a wrong path when our philosophy begins with ME. If I am the starting point, it’s guaranteed to be self-serving,
