You say you believe in the Bible. Do you believe in the following?
god
creation
virgin birth
miracles
dying and then coming alive again
Questions to which I have difficulty answering .. because I also have my doubts to my religion. But I can say that the Bible, to me, is a book that shows some knowledge of life, values and principles .. of our faith.
God exists within us .. there is always present in us.
And I'd like to believe in the resurrection ..
Sorry SS but if you say you believe in the Bible, all the things I list are fundamental I would have thought: the book is God's word;
God created the world in 7 days; the christ child was born to a virgin;
christ performed miracles; christ died then came alive again....and then ascended to heaven.
Forgive me but I don't see how you can claim belief in the Bible without belief in these things incredible.
Also, I would have thought your faith means nothing without absolute belief in the resurrection.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
