[Faith-talk] Questioning Our Beliefs

[Poppa Bear via Faith-talk]

I think that questions can be good, but as a father of 7, I do find that
when my children are able to listen without questioning everything I ask of
them it brings a trust, an intimacy that is sometimes tattered by the twenty
questions. As for me, being married, I will often do something for my wife
simply because she asks me, I may think that it is silly, may want to
question her reasons, needs and all that, but simply doing, or obeying does
more to create the bond of love and trust that I think a marriage is built
on than being a analytical owl about everything. Also, we will often pride
ourselves on asking questions about something like faith, something that
demands a real commitment from us, but we will often swallow whole the
garbage in our culture, imitating much of it, desiring much of it, or
prematurely condemning it. Interesting stuff.

:-) I, for one, take pride in questioning everything. Even my questions.

did. They have not repented of these sins, and, consequently, their
conversion is not real.

different life than they did before Christ came to live in them. When they
do sin, which all do, they are sorry, and ask God's forgiveness; and, if
necessary, and they have sinned against someone, they ask forgiveness of
that person. Many who think they are Christians will be surprised when they
meet God, and are turned away from Him to spend eternity in hell with Satan
and his demons.

take God at His Word, and accept the free grace and forgiveness He offers,
will spend their life after earthly death in eternity in Heaven with Him.
Eastern religions and cults are man-made, and were made up not that long ago
by people who rejected God, didn't know about Him, or wanted to do things
their own way--which, I guess, is the same as rejecting God.

relief will be had.

concerning them, and I believe the Bible to be true. It is the inspired Word
of God. All it says will come to pass, if it hasn't already.

to be true in the Bible.
