Does that mean your willingness to believe something is true largly depends on what others think to be true? What if the vast majority of society thought the Jews were sub human plague on society and had 'scientific proof' that they were genetic cast offs and were just a drain on resources? would you believe this without question?(September 8, 2015 at 9:17 am)Drich Wrote: But, again the best anyone could ever do is point to one understanding, or interpretation of Christ and say their is no evidence to substantiate this particular belief. What you seem to fail to grasp is that God is the sole reason for my belief. Not one religious interpretation or another. Meaning I do not rely on what one 'scholar' may say over what another may work to prove. God is my proof. I am not a lemming, I do not follow the crowd simply because the crowd is going in one direction or another. I have sought truth for a very long time and I have found it, and no one will ever be able to take that from me.
Which leads to a lot of circular thinking in your case, don't you think?
