We might come to trust that the chair we always use won't collapse under us. With God we can only rely on our correct understanding. Besides, it's written into Christianity to test for the truth. As it's a continual process rather than a one off choice, doubt and faith are major players.
well normally id say insiginificant claims require little evidence and huge soul saving outlandish unbelievable claims require lots and lots of evidence
but your opinion is that day to day claims require evidence where as outlandish soul saving claims require more faith to combat the doubt and less evidence?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
