If you have faith, how did you get it? If you have no faith, how did you get it? As for me, most of my life I had no faith, I thought the bible was a joke full of lies..then I actually read and studied it and through time my feelings changed. I re read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John many times and I was able to see Jesus life, ministry and death through different points of view but they all said the same thing. It changed the way I thought and felt. Do I think these writers were lying is the question? No way, the collaboration would be way to difficult and why would they? I seen it as history and it all really happened..very intense and cool at the same time..
My case is strong, as the children say when they hear a HD pass the house , " Sounds like there is something wrong with the engine or it is running out of fuel." Lack of ground clearance means they corner poorly. Parts made in china do not help either.
I grew up in a. Lutheran Church, and had faith because i was told to. As I grew older I started to disagree with all organized religion and became somewhat of a Christian Diest. My faith is maintained not by any book, but by the signs I see in Nature, the realizations I come to while meditating/praying, karma, the good acts of others, etc. I don't take the Bible literally. I think that's dangerous
