Of course, I'm in a much different position than most people, because the Lord has given me many confirmations that I'm not wrong. Most people are still searching for God; I happen to already know Him. I'm not saying that to boast, I'm merely pointing out that someone in a position of faith can't exactly be compared to someone who is still searching in terms of certainty.
But yes, I have to acknowledge the fact that I could be wrong. Faith wouldn't be called faith if it were something observable or provable.
Faith is not knowledge. Repeat after me: faith is not knowledge.
I grant that you believe. I won't accept that you know God exists.
First, to fredd bear (not quoting since it's a large quote): the doctrine of eternal torment was just one of several pagan ideas that slowly infiltrated the "church" over the years. It's not even really a product of nominal Christendom, because nominal Christendom itself is a product of paganism. There are plenty of tenets of so-called Christianity that are clearly pagan, such as the trinity, eternal torment, Christmas and Easter, and probably some other ones I can't remember at the moment. That is why nominal Christendom is referred to as the whore, Mystery Babylon, in the book of Revelation. Spiritual fornication has rendered her a system of confusion and blasphemy.
To Grandizer: God has made His existence crystal clear to everyone. Believing otherwise takes far more faith than any religion.
