Let me guess, yours is the true one?
I believe it to be very true. I find it very important as to be considered more. I find that what Jesus said is different than what anyone has ever said. I have found patterns in Confucius, Shakespeare, Ben. Franklin, Buddha, i found that there teachings or ideas are that of just intellectual men and i have often come up with their very concepts on my own. I find the religion to be set on a promise and thus a hope. I am also to share this belief i have with others because it is good, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." Mat10:16 I also find that Bible prophesy is very interesting and should be taken mention, with also the prophesy that has come true already. I think the good it teaches is excellent influence of how i should lead my life. I find it to be the most true and peculiar of all the other religions. I truly believe faith is given to us by God and we just have to accept it .

The thing you want is to see God and then to be like ok now i get it but i find that very fake and selfish. We are arguing over belief and what you tell me of what you believe is just well informed speculation about grand coincidence that i find not true because it is not truth. My belief credits it as the one truth your just angry cause your on the outside. There all claims and as mush as know one wants to admit what we believe has to be the one truth or why believe, the thing is, it is the belief that is important not the claim we all claim to or are to scared to proclaim to for the one truth is irrelevant because we do not know it.(August 3, 2011 at 5:12 pm)C Rod Wrote: Now if i may, why must it be proven it is a belief?
If your "truth" is nothing more than a belief, then you really have no standing to claim that it is "the one truth". You don't know that - you have no way to know that. Belief is not equal to knowledge.
Believe whatever you want, I don't care. When you step over the line and profess your belief is THE ONE TRUTH, be prepared to get called on your bullshit and defend it - or STFU and GTFO. To do otherwise is intellectually dishonest.
