After all we are just humans and our "knowledge" is limited by our subjective understanding and discernment. Believers are no different than anyone else so I'm never surprised to hear diverse thoughts on God. There are some very basic tenets of agreement, but when delving in to deeper, more complex details, it's impossible to know for sure. Some may still say with certainty they are right and attempt to back it up, but it's really conjecture.
That makes me curious. How do you agree on what is a "basic tenet" and what is conjecture? Because Christians have disagreed over..just about every point of doctrine (including whether or not Jesus was all human or all god or both), all the time claiming they had the truth. You have to understand that from our point of view, everything that you claim is conjecture.
Fair point and understood. I completely understand that anything I believe is scrutinized (as it should be). I believe that most Christians believe there was a man who lived, died and rose from the dead 2000 years ago named Jesus Christ who performed miracles and had disciples that so ferociously believed in Him they were willing to die. I believe most Christians believe that the entire universe was created by a being, force, entity (whatever word you like) outside of any natural law.
Again though anything I say is MY opinion based on my understanding of the information I have consciously elected to intake and make a decision on. What you believe is not my business. To each their own.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
